+jillian Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 After some discussion in another thread, I found a link to the plaque for the first ever cache. It piqued my curiosity, if I were to dig a hole, put a bucket in the hole, leaving the lid exposed would it be acceptable? It's buried... but you wouldn't have to dig to retrieve it... if this discussion has happened before, excuse my ignorance... Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 It's been cussed and discussed...if this coffee were workin' for me I'd show you where. Instead though, as the guidelines for placing a cache state: Caches that are buried. If a shovel, trowel or other “pointy” object is used to dig, whether in order to hide or to find the cache, then it is not appropriate. Nuff said. Bret Quote Link to comment
+bob393 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I like it. I would do it if it were me. Quote Link to comment
the 5 little bears Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 JUST DO IT BUT DON'T PUT IT IN THE CACHE DESCRIPTION. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 The first cache falls short of todays guidelines for this site. Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I doubt the first car would pass the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's tests. The Wright Brother's flyer probably wouldn't be FAA approved. Stuff changes. Bret Quote Link to comment
+radioscout Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 How about searching for a sufficient hole in the ground? If you find one you don't have to dig one and this should be OK? Quote Link to comment

+TeamK-9 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Here's a question, if there's a natural depression in the ground or some kind of hole, can you put the cache in and then add a little dirt so it's partially burried but you didn't actually dig to hide it... Quote Link to comment

Actually, just put pinestraw or leaves on top. You don't have to add dirt. It will still be concealed. I have found many caches that have been put in rotted out stump holes. You don't need the extra dirt and you would have to dig it out from somewhere. Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) No, but say it's like you find a hole in the ground, you put the cach in the ground and then pour topsoil on it, (from a bag of course,) I really don't know if someone could plan to bring a bag of topsoil and not look suspicious but anyway, what if, the cache were actually underground, and nothing but the lid was shown, but no "point object" had been used in placing the cache. Just thinking outside of the box, my brother taught me to read rules, learn them good, and then find a loophole, and maybe exploit it... Not that I'd do that though...
