The most finds for one person?

July 10, 2003

This is pretty simple. I'm curious who has found the most geocaches of any person? Anyone know? Thanks

38.2k · July 10, 2003

It's Bruce S, who has 2,636 finds (not including the 20, or so he'll probably bag today). CCCooper Agency is close behind with 2,597 (but they're family of geocachers, Bruce S is one guy).

Check the Leaderboard for up to date stats. Note that the overall leaderboard can take a very long time to load. The stats for each state and country load pretty quickly. Here are the top 25 in order of hides plus finds, for those who don't have time to let the Leaderboard load:

Thanks for posting that Brian. I tried for about half a hour to load the leaderboard yesterday and had no luck.

All I did figure out is that I'm missing about 40 caches on the stats.

Say what!?! It's a husband and wife team with I think a kid or two - hardly an atypical configuration. Clearly they travel in several states - if you don't live in CA, you have to hit several states to score that many finds. (And I've long found it interesting that the majority of the top of that list doesn't live in the particularly cache-dense areas.) But since they live on the side of the country where the states are small, I don't find it alarming when logging multiple states in a day.

No, I've met him, too. He's a gainfully employed guy.

In fact, seven of that top ten were at Geo Woodstock and all but one (maybe two) are working.

Just agreeing with Robert. Not only is it JUST a family, it really is just the wife. Pretty much the rest of the family goes along for the hike, and to make sure Lynn stops caching long enough to eat and sleep. I've met them lots of times, and you will not meet a nicer family.

I don't know about that. They'll hit an area and will log a dozen or more caches, many miles apart in one day. And not quick 1/1 drive and dumps either. Either they drive very fast and walk faster, or they're splitting up to bag caches. Not that there's a problem with that. It just makes it easier to rack up the numbers.

CCCooper is a prolific cacher, however I do have a question with their hides. On July 4th they hid four caches. One in North Dakota, one in Montana, one in Idaho, and one in Maryland. How is this possible? How is it possible to maintain 254 caches in many states? They recruit other cachers to place and maintain them, that's how. Now, if a cacher cannot count a find if they don't sign the logbook, how can they count a hide if they've never even been to the spot the cache has been placed? Just a question I've been wondering about. Any answers? hides are here

Like I said, I've met them at caches, and at events more times then I can count, and spent quite literally hours gabbing with Lynn around a campfire. To the best of my knowledge, they do not split up. I've never seen them apart. I've never seen them with more then one GPS (although I'm pretty sure they do own several). I've never seen them with more then one car. I HAVE however seen them leave the house at 3-4am to get to the area they plan on caching by dawn, and then not stop until the batteries in the flashlights are dying that night.

I saw her drive over 100 miles each way during a snowstorm that dumped 2ft on the area, to log a few new caches (mine included).

Like many families, not every member is present for every cache, one member is more driven then the others. That one member is the wife in this case. You might not see hubby one day, you might not see the kids the next, but you will always see Lynn at a cache, usually dropping off the famed CCCooper keychain, LOL!

When travelling, it's entirely possible to hit many dozen in a day.

As for the HAPPY series, if you look at the page, you'll see exactly what they've done - they're all placed with assistance of locals to maintain them. There's a clear theme.

I've never gone to the effort to ship 50 caches around the world, work with placers to get them placed and approved, but it sounds really hard. It also sounds like a neat way to get logs from folks you wouldn't otherwise get and to place one in areas as a "thanx" to the placers in areas you've visited.

I've met them. They're quite pleasant and VERY committed to the hobby.

Sounds like some people have alittle too much time on their hands (or no life) if there watching other people cache and now their hours for doing so. Now.. here's a pondering question... would taking a cache from its cache site and then not emailing the owner of the cache until two days later to tell them that something was wrong with it. Would have been alot easier to email the owner of the cache and state your problem, them to take it the cache home (another state, might I add) for you to fix. Still waiting for my cache its been almost a week!!! Hmmmm now tell me how you would respond to that question!!

I helped with the placement of CCCooper Agency's NC Happy Cache. A lot of time and emails went into assuring it was a well done cache. They also attended a recent event cache here in NC after leaving PA in the wee hours of the morning, caching across NC until the event began, finding two caches hidden there, and then caching their way back to Richmond by nightfall. They are a great family and my hat is off to their level of dedication and energy for caching. Great ambassadors for this sport.

It wasn't my point to turn this into a CCCooper bashing thread. What they've accomplished is amazing. When they come through this area, they'll find 10 or more caches on my watch list alone. I see the logs and am astounded (but I'd never buy a used car from them...the mileage probably turned over several times).

It's just that it's slightly easier to rack up finds when there a couple of people doing it. My point was to highlight the amazing record of Bruce S and not to put down what others have accomplished.

I agree with stunod - what was the question in all that???

As for CCCooper, I also met Lynn at one of the events. As I recall, she said that her and her husband own a business, so one has to stay and tend to business while the other goes caching!

And as others have stated, she's a really nice person.

CCCooper (Lynn in particular) just have the geobug big time in a great way. Hey we all have it for one degree or another. I am the most impressed with #23 on the list. The no GPS Topo people impress me the most. Hey I can find my way out of a paperbag but don't ask me how I got in it. And with over 900 that is a tremendous feat. I have met the Cooper gang a few times now and I like them and they really try hard to be part of the Geo Community and give more than they take. I know what we have done for our first 100 in the last 6 months and that is what impresses me even more about this top 25 list. As passionate and as much as this hobby eats into our lives our numbers will never near those levels.

And from what I understand of #23 (Waldenrun) is that if you haven't figured it out yet, he runs to the caches. Talk about caching to stay in shape! I read one online log that another user parked their care and their kid made a remark of the maps inside another car next to them. The user knew who it was. Then later on in the log, it said that they "spotted him". Made me think they spotted sasquatch or bigfoot.

There is no WAY I'm gonna look thru 2500+ logs to see what ones you mean, but I wouldn't totally rule it out. I have seen amazing examples posted here of people logging 70 caches in a day. Southern NY to Northern VA is only about 200-250 miles driving, including passing thru NJ and MD. So I wouldn't rule it out, especially if the trip was mostly virtuals or driveby caches.

I've looked through a couple pages of their finds...most are in the immediate area of maryland, give or take those to pennsylvania. i imagine that some of the cache finds might of been on more than one day, but just didn't bother with the date thing and only logged it a certain day.

There are a good bit of virts in there as well as some locationless. That threw me off. There was one logged from Australia in the middle of some others, but it was a locationless. There were a few others as well.

When I introduce my friends to geocaching one of the questions is always 'Do you need a GPS?'. I always refer to WaldenRun as an example that, No, you don't need a GPS. It's a bit more challenging (it must be real challenging when it comes to projecting waypoints in the field), but definitely doable. I think of my finds, I've found about 20 without a GPS. I tell ya though, after having a mapping GPS, I get lost way too easy now when I am without it (while driving *and* hiking).

There is a cacher in my area, not nearly as prolific as WaldenRun, that caches without a GPS or powered vehicle. He bikes to all the caches he finds, and finds them without a GPS. Kinda cool.

I think Brian's point was that BruceS finds the majority of his caches alone, while CCC often caches as a family. Certainly it is easier to find a cache if more than one person is looking. This generally would allow for quicker finds and a higher count.

That's exactly my point. Ten minutes per cache adds up when you are on an all-day cache fest.

Of course, multiple searchers can also turn a time-wasting 'no find' to a quick log-and-run.

Hmmm... Doesn't jive with THIS list (look under "Web Total" for hides + finds).

Granted this is only for finds in Arizona, but some of the folks on this list ought to be on the Leaderboard (as near as I can tell) and aren't. Team Wyle"E" for example.

I didn't research it so there may be an explanation.

The Leaderboard includes hides + finds, which to me is a legit method of ranking, if a method of ranking is needed. Perhaps Team WE doesn't have a lot of hides.

BTW, cool website. Someone has a lot of time on their hands!

I did find 23 today on my way back from a business trip... not bad considering I did not start caching until 2:30 pm and got home at 10:30 pm, 23 caches in 3 states, and about 250 miles of driving. It should be noted that the leaderboard is usually considerably off (usually in excess of 100) on both myself and CCCooper. Once I finish logging these caches my find count will be 2780.

Alright, I've been thinking long and hard about this one and the only logical (yes, logical) conclusion that I can come to is that BruceS is a teleporter. 'Nuff said.

They have 13 hides. That'd be 924 (911 found + 13 hidden).

Look in the "Web Total" column, not the "Found" column. The "Found" column is just AZ caches.

Please notice this find page for them. How???

Electric Shavers? There are several people in different parts of the country logging to that account. I heard from a very reliable source that their New York City finds were faked. They faked some in NJ, too.

Well it looks like a husband, wife, kids and an nephew/cousin who all log under the same account.

Kind of makes sense that they will have finds far apart on the same day since the husband/wife team live several hundred miles from the cousin/nephew. But you do have to wonder what the point is of all using the same account.

Edit: Hmmmmm, I noticed their log for this cache. The log says:

Yippie, Yahoo I found it.

Nice area & cache.

Took & left nothing.

The actual hike wasn't bad and took just a few minutes to make the find. I liked reading the books for years as well. Neat storey and cache idea. Glad to have this one done, it's been on my list to get for over a month.

I found this cache and it is not in a nice area. It's not a particularly interesting cache either. It's a 1/1, "drive and dump" hidden under a piece of rotting plywood. It's on a very unappealing, narrow, garbage strewn strip between an industrial parking lot and a highway. No hike involved either. You drive right up to the cache. Even if you park nearby, I wouldn't exactly call a 50 yard walk across a parking lot a "hike".

Did they actually visit it? Or maybe they were just being kind in their log?

That falls under cache maintenance by the hider. If a cache of mine got a log that didn't jive with the actual location, it would go right to the top of my maintenance schedule to make sure they signed the logbook.

Sure, the finds appear questionable, but in this case there are team members in various parts of the country logging under one account, and it also appears at least one travels a lot for work. Having talked to many members of that elite "1000 Club", I know that many things most of us think is impossible isn't, if you have the drive and determination some people do. So I will refrain from judging this team's finds. I'm more concerned about their 169 hides, actually. Seems like the ones in my area, like this one or this one are poorly placed, poorly maintained, and really nothing more then a 35mm film canister with a blank postit note inside. Geotrash. The second one was a cache that was originally several hundred miles away, and went missing, so it was "moved" here to NJ (apparently to bypass the newer guidelines against "vacation" caches). How can you move the cache if it was gone?

Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.

You must be in the minority, because it seems most cache owners never police their logs and never delete even obviously fraudulent finds. BrianSnat described the cache as a 1/1 drive and dump. Isn't that the type of cache most unlikely to receive maintenance?

You told us what you would do if the cache was yours. If an account of yours was being used by others and many of the logs of one member appeared suspicious, would you look into it? One of the New York caches they claimed a find on has never been found...not even by its owner on a maintenance visit.

The most finds for one person?
