(yea ignore the webcam - we know that aint happening) If so, 8 is a tall order Yes! A tough challenge. After caching for 20 years, and with over 11,000 finds, I've found most of the regular/large caches nearby. At least the ones I'm capable of finding. I don't crawl in caves, nor climb trees. Ah! There's one an hour's drive away. 1 of 8. Hmm... Quote
+Max and 99 Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 I know this is really minor and certainly not a priority, but didn't it used to say Collections/Your Treasures, not Your Treasure on the app? Did you run out of room? Quote

There's one an hour's drive away. 1 of 8. Hmm... Very different caching environments I guess. So far this year out of my 146 finds, there were 28 regular and 5 large caches, most of which didn't involve caves or trees. I've also had three regular-sized caches published this year, but one does involve crawling a short way into a cave/rock tunnel: The other two are a 2/2.5 multi about 100 metres from the road and a 2/4 mystery at the end of either a ridiculously long or ridiculously steep hike (both starting from parking waypoints a ridiculously long drive from any civilisation), but hopefully the themed container and scenic view at GZ make up for that.

For me I would prefer to have different criteria for each the 8 treasures, rather than having them all the same. 2 1 Quote
+Phronimos Posted June 13 Posted June 13 It's just like a Challenge. You don't have to undertake the challenge to find Treasures, but if you do decide to pursue it, it'll take a bit of planning, and probably some travelling. It raises the bar from ordinary day-to-day geocaching. I'm enjoying it. Travelling is definitely involved as there's no suitable geocaches within an hour's drive - and it's Winter here in the Southern hemisphere. Cheers. Good fun to be had Quote
+vinyrd Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Caches I found on 6/10 we’re logged on 6/11 with a 6/10 date, but I didn’t collect any treasures Quote

From what I can see, you should have collected 4 of the "Event mementos" Treasures. I took a look at the last one, and the timestamp seems fine to be counted (timestamped June 11 at 02:25 UTC) when the start time for the collection was June 10 at 12:00 UTC. Maybe @Moun10Bike can add this to the list of glitches to investigate. Quote
+Max and 99 Posted June 13 Author Posted June 13 I also count four event treasures should have been awarded. Quote
Moun10Bike Posted June 16 Posted June 16 The dev primarily responsible for tracking down why a particular Treasure was not awarded is currently out on vacation, so it will take some time to determine what happened here. Quote

Around here, the regulars outnumber the micros and there are plenty of qualifying caches available. The catch, though, is that Navigation Tools is a prerequisit for this collection and its qualifiers are scarce here. Yea, completely the opposite for me here in the UK - we mostly have micros - and if any say regular they are probably small Only 17 fit the bill in a 20 mile radius from me and all in different directions and mainly towards the edge of that 20 mile border. However I went to pick up 4 yesterday - little bit of a road trip but it was a nice day - However only 1 found, the other 3 missing and inactive COs so maintenance unlikely Edited June 19 by Deepdiggingmole Quote
+xandryyte Posted June 24 Posted June 24 I'm probably not the only one wondering if next month's collection may be a bit more challenging... only one set and six are needed. 1 Quote

This is a really difficult collection for me. https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2025/06/start-planning-for-july-treasure-collections/ Edited Wednesday at 12:17 AM by Max and 99 1 Quote
+hzoi Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Well, I guess it's time to buy that painter's pole I've been putting off and try for some fishing caches. 1 Quote
+barefootjeff Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Maybe I should kill two stones with the one bird and put out a new D3 tree-fishing cache to get the IGD hider souvenir and give the community a qualifying find for the treasure. Quote
+BirdSearcher Posted July 2 Posted July 2 🙁Very few qualifying caches in my area that I haven’t already found - I will have to travel several hours away to get these ones.. 1 1 Quote
+xandryyte Posted July 2 Posted July 2 I have a couple out of town trips coming up within the time frame... now to get organized enough to add caches to a list. It would be good to make some finds while out of town. Not many options where I am. 1 Quote
+The_Jumping_Pig Posted July 3 Posted July 3 Quote "you can collect these seven Treasures by finding and logging any Event or any micro, small, or regular sized geocache with a difficulty between 1.5 and 4" What do they have against large caches? I feel like those make the best memories :D... Quote
