+Centaur Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 LOL.. I love this game/sport. About 3PM (CDT) today I posted a new cache my wife and I placed. It went live online roughly 6PM. Its now barely 9PM and the cache already has its first find. Centaur of Industry So whats the record for quickest posting to find? -Centaur Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I don't know what the record is, but last weekend I was on the website and a new cache appeared while I was poking around. One minute it wasn't there, the next minute it was. Turns out it was about a mile from my house, so I had the cache in hand probably about 45 minutes after it appeared on this website.

+Whidbey Walk Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I remember a time when we were able to find caches before they were even approved. http://home.earthlink.net/~whidbeywalk/ Quote Link to comment

BassoonPilot Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Today a couple of us found a cache that hasn't been listed yet ... it's almost like the old days! Apparently, a newly listed cache by Big Bill6 was placed very close to a cache Gwho had hidden a while back, but never submitted a page for. Gwho went to the site, moved his cache and left the coordinates for his as-yet unlisted cache in the logbook of Big Bill's cache ... unexpected bonus caches are always fun! UPDATE: The cache was approved and listed at approximately 6 p.m. today, so I found the cache only 8 hours before it "existed."

+GypsyMoth Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=41728 A friend accompanied the hider on the hiding trip--and logged it as a find! Also, saw one example of a combined virtual/traditional cache being logged after the geocacher found the virtual only. Who says we're not competitive?

targetdrone Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I found one within a few minutes of it being posted, but it is much more rare to have one that doesn't get found right away Under A Rock.....Hehehehe. The difficulty probably has more to do with it than the location. "A good compromise leaves everybody mad." - Calvin Quote Link to comment
+parkrrrr Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 We just hid a cache that could have been found before the description was posted, because the coordinates are written on cards that were placed after the cache box was placed but before the cache page was submitted for approval. Instead, it looks like it'll be one of those caches that goes for days without being found. Quote Link to comment
+Brokenwing Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Warm Fuzzies - Fuzzy:We just hid a cache that could have been found before the description was posted... I actually did find a cache once before it was even posted. The cache hider was a relative newbie and asked if I could check it out and critque the cache prior to listing. I found it based on just the info they emailed. Once it was added to the site and approved, I logged it.

+canadazuuk Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I found 'Vancouver Transit' a few weeks back, within about 2 hours of the log showing it had been placed in a new location the same morning. Had the print out from the internet within 2 minutes of the log being created. zuuk Quote Link to comment
+sbukosky Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Its hard to validate how quick a find was made after being posted, but I did find an offset cache the evening it was posted, in a pouring rain and darkness!

+GypsyMoth Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 And I was second to find this cache after the owners! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=44496 In addition, there was a Happy Birthday wish in the log book from "two days earlier."
