Found It = Didn't Find It

Recommended Posts

:) Im not sure about this. Small container lying on the ground with instructions on how to do the cache. The container was under another container but no log???

 

A log on a friends field puzzle cache. The cache page clearly states that it is a puzzle and that you must solve the puzzle to obtain the log. He obviously read the instruction sheet but decided that he could just log it as found without doing the rest.

First post here, this is how strongly I feel! This is sort of along the same lines.

Caching yesterday(18/6/12) I found a cache and and in the log the was a cachers that had found it previously that had logged the 18th too, but above them there was a log dated 19th. Thinking that someone had just got their days muddled thought nothing of it untill today when they logged the find as the 19th. I know that there are no laws/rules about this, but we are currently on a continuous caching streak of over 340 days, homing in on a years worth of caching. In that time we have never predated caches to have a day off, logged ones we couldn't find or anything of the sort. In fact we have actively gone out of the way to do ones on different sides of the town, sometimes county just so noone could even accuse us of doing that sort of thing. But to blatently do it after 2 cachers have logged it the day before is scandalous!

Where are the caching police when you need them?

 

Moved over there. Thanks knowschad (eventhough you make me look like I can't use a search bar! ;) )

The thread you want is over here (Streak Cheats). This thread is about claiming a find on caches that you did not find.

If geo.com would come up with an electronic key of some sort that you bring with you to each cache and scan the cache or get an unlock code or something to validate your visit, that would be nice.

 

I have read waaaaaay to many logs saying they were there, they took pics, called the CO etc etc...

 

You don't find the container and or logsheet and sign nothing, then its not a find.

 

In the long run, their stats will be works of fiction. They are only fooling themselves.

This thread is great to read through and makes me giggle. Here is my contribution which is a log for one of my all time favorite caches. Whenever you pull into the parking area and the GPS is pointing to the top, you know it is going to be a long, strenuous hike - not sure topo maps would have helped. The cliff isn't too bad - does help to be a little more youthful, but it is given 3 stars for terrain. Don't understand why this cacher thought they found it when they clearly admit the DNF, I guess it's because they hiked all the way to within 200 ft. :)

 

Found it05/15/2012

I have been to pressey park many times, and had no idea this area existed. Didnt find the cache though, I got within 200 feet of it, saw a cliff decided I was to tired to climb down that. WIsh my GPS had topo maps :(

I had a guy yesterday claim a find on one of my caches. (He has over 5,000 finds.) His friend is a trucker with a car GPSr. The guy walks him through the cache via a cell phone and Google earth and then they both log the cache.

 

This is what he said after I asked him to change his found log to a note.

 

"I had asked someone at Groundspeak about that, and he said that as long as I was on the phone with my friend, walking him through the find, since he didn't have a GPS, computer, or even a smart phone to help him find it and my friend signed my name on the log, he thought it would be okay, but it was also up to the C/O as well."

I'm debating on whether "found it" is appropriate for this. We were able to find where it USED TO be but only the hook. The cache itself is gone. Whether I actually "found" this is up to (CO). Just let me know! Cool spot anyway!

 

If you have to debate with yourself, the answer is probably 'DNF'.

This is a favorite cache of mine here in Istanbul (not really). It's been missing for over two years, but continually has people "finding" the spot. There has been no communication or maintenance from the CO. I finally went there the other day so I could officially request to have it archived. There are also other peculiarities about this cache. I think you would enjoy taking a look at it. It is currently disabled, waiting for CO intervention: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=398dea41-f76c-4f83-b6e3-2762ecd29cac

There is no " i was in the area, found the likely spot " in the pull down menu... its DNF or Found. <_<

This is one of about 52 on a power trail. They are micros mostly hidden on the ground in a rural area so they are often lost. But that doesn't stop "finders".

This is my first find. I found the hole however there was nothing in it, as mentioned by a previous geocacher. I placed a small pill container with some coins in the hole for the next person to find. Maybe they will bring a bigger container and a log book to provide a proper cache. Or maybe the owner can fix.

Almost didn't see your post, Snat. Thanks, because rarely does anyone believe me when I tell them the only ever throwdown I received at one of my caches. It was thrown down by a person on their first day of caching with 3 "finds" (one of them being my cache). This was at the height of the "find caches with the Nuvi off your windshield" craze back in 2008 or so (they said they used a Nuvi in their log).

 

So it certainly does support the theory most throwdowner's really think they are doing a good deed for the Geocaching community, despite their number of finds. But lets not kid ourselves, the overwhelming majority of throwdowns are thrown down by the big numbers crowd.

 

P.S. That first day of caching was their only day. :huh:

Instead of copying all the "finds" just go to this cache and read them. GC1XN5K.

It's a D4.5/T1.5. The cache is a large magnetic bison tube about 30 ft up a highway light pole. A person can see it from a couple of hundred feet away. It's right in plain view. Several "seen it, can't reach it, didn't sign the log, but we're claiming a find." One even posted a Needs Archived because she couldn't reach it. Another one also recently posted a Needs Archived because he said it was not kid and family friendly. He later deleted his log when someone took issue with the Needs Archived posts.

The owner of that cache needs to learn the difference between a difficulty and terrain rating. It should be a D 1.5 (or even a 1) and a T of 4.5.

If you use the Geocaching Rating system it is properly rated with the higher difficulty and lower terrain.

http://www.geocaching.com/hide/rate.aspx

The cache owner has 1001 hides and over 10,000 finds so she's no novice. Some of her caches are pretty good ones. Some are park n grabs.

That's funny. There's a similar one over in Germantown, TN, near Memphis. It's a key box holder on a light pole:

GCX8XR. People have been logging it as found without actually signing anything. Fortunately, the CO kind of laid down the law after the last couple. He says he'll delete all logs from people who don't actually sign. Anyway...doesn't seem right to earn a 3/5 by looking up.

If, as the cache page states, "a person can see it from a hundred feet away" then the "Cache is in plain sight" box should have been checked, resulting in a low difficulty rating. For some caches, the Geocaching rating system doesn't always produce accurate results. Part of the problem when rating a cache like this is defining ground zero. If ground zero is at the bottom of a pole or tree the the terrain up to that point should be used. If ground zero is 30' up a pole or tree (where the container is physically located) then that should be taken into consideration as it would imply a "steep elevation change" and impact the terrain rating, not the difficulty rating.

Well, I read the logs, even though we're not supposed to name caches. :anicute: Almost everyone is using a tool, so I could go with Wadcutter's explanation. I think the "saw it, didn't sign it" logs are being exaggerated here. I can only find 5 admitted ones, and every single solitary one of them is by what we could consider "newbies" at the time of their log. Including the guy who logged it like that in 2009, and hasn't logged into Geocaching.com in over a year and a half now. I believe the highest find count on such a log is a little over 200.

 

EDIT: Almost forgot about the person who posted an SBA because they could't reach it. Well, that's just kind of kooky there, no explanation from me. :lol:

That's only your intrepretation. I disagree. Check these items:

1) Is an overnight stay likely? No, it's along the interstate.

2) What is the length of hike? None, you can park within feet of the pole.

3) What is the trail like? No trail, it's mowed by DOT, flat and level.

4) Is the path brushy or overgrown? No, See #3.

5) What is the terrain elevation like? Read the choices. Terrain is flat and level. Riding a bike doesn't apply. Can't climb it.

6) How easy is it to find the cache? Requires indepth preparation (4th difficult) or requires specialized equipmen (5th difficult).

 

When you place a similar cache then you can rate it however you want. So while you think the CO should learn the difference between difficulty and terrain rating maybe it's you who should learn the difference. I completely understand how the CO rated it and agree with her rating.

 

My last post on the topic since it is hi-jacking the thread. If you want to continue it then start a new thread.

 

EDIT: Almost forgot about the person who posted an SBA because they could't reach it. Well, that's just kind of kooky there, no explanation from me. :lol:

I agree. After she posted a SBA someone posted a note countering the SBA. Then another person posted a SBA because he didn't think the cache was kid and family friendly. Someone else posted another note explaining the difficulty rating may exclude some. The 2nd SBA then deleted his post.

I disagree with your interpretation of #5 and #6. The terrain may be flat and level up to the point you reach the pole or tree or whatever it's on. I'd argue that the last 30 feet from the ground to where the cache is actually located is still part of the terrain and should be considered when providing an overall terrain rating. I've done plenty of caches which had a fairly flat approach, then got much steeper close to the cache (but not vertical) and every one of them included the steep portion of the hike as part of the terrain.

 

If you can see the cache from 100' away the in depth preparation or specialized equipment isn't needed to find the cache, but the navigate that last 30 feet to retrieve it.

 

 

When you place a similar cache then you can rate it however you want. So while you think the CO should learn the difference between difficulty and terrain rating maybe it's you who should learn the difference. I completely understand how the CO rated it and agree with her rating.

 

I have no intention of placing a similar cache so opinion will be remain based what I believe is a logical interpretation of a general definition of difficulty and terrain.

I think the guidelines are unclear, and both interpretations are valid. As the bottom of the pole is at the posted coordinates, it is different than a mountain trail which is very steep near the end.

So what you are saying is that if I walk on a level paved path to the base of a 200' cliff and reach GZ then it warrants a t1 even tho technically the cache is still 200' away?

See, the bottom of the pole is not where the cache is located and even tho GS does not allow for Z, the cache is still located at X,Y,Z.

I would probably hit the floor LAMO at the person who claimed they visited GZ at GC1D6ZQ and never entered the water. :laughing:

No, I'm just saying the guidelines are unclear as to what counts as terrain.

 

The cliff is clearly part of the terrain. A pole is debatable.

 

What about if everything is flat, but retrieving the cache requires hanging from your feet under a bridge or other difficult physical feat. So there is no "steep elevation change" - but it is similar to the pole in that it is physically difficult to access the cache.

Would a you be capable of using a 30' implement to reach the cache and replace it or would you need to get closer to it?

The way I see it, you are going to have to climb something to get to that cache and that is part of the terrain.

Even if you had to bring what you are climbing on.

To debate the pole can lead to debating any man made item as being terrain and any vertical item like a tree.

Lets say you have a paved path 10 miles long with 6" bricks lining it and a cache at the end of it but the cache is only a half mile from the start.

Now that's debatable as a 1.5 or a 3. However, if you have to climb 30' into a tree at the end then both would be a 4.

A little climbing ability? Unless you're Paul Bunyan or you brought your Indiana Jones whip, I see the necessity for a fair amount of climbing - certainly more than I was willing to undertake. Cache was spotted but we left the log unsigned.

You have got to be kidding! We located gz but, being of certain age, were unable to retrieve the cache or sign the log for reasons that will become obvious once you get there. I'm taking a smiley on this one anyway. I took a picture to prove I was there, but don't want to be a spoiler and post it.

For a cache 20 feet up in a tree

A little climbing ability? Unless you're Paul Bunyan or you brought your Indiana Jones whip, I see the necessity for a fair amount of climbing - certainly more than I was willing to undertake. Cache was spotted but we left the log unsigned.

Vanskelig med så mange mugglere ute...... men vi fant den til slutt.

Klarte derimot ikke å få tak i den så vi har ikke skrevet i loggen.

TFTC!

 

we just went to NORWAY OSLO, great trip anyway.

one cache we had a terrible fight with,

we found NOTHING at all.. then we see others log it as found like this.. it drives me MAD !!

in their log they say : we did not manage to get it, nor to write in the log !!!

WAKE UP CO, DELETE SUCH LOGS !! AND LINK TO THE GUIDELINES..

Wedged in well - A bit too difficult to retrieve for large fingers but found nonetheless.

A fun cache - first in Oslo. We have pic evidence if necessary :-)

nice all you need is to SEE a cache.. not open or sign it... some people are pushing it..

I think I would have prefered a donation to what happens to also be my alma matter instead of a throw down. Cache was located in a university garden.

Neat location - but there was actually no container or travel bug in this location. We did find a cool piece of swag in its place though!

The new cache container is "small"...not an ammo box. And wondering all those apples? Thanks

In lieu of a contribution to my Alma Mater, I replaced this cache. TFTC.

No response from CO??

Due to construction this cache has been removed. Contacted owner and am waiting for reply to return cache and contents. Garden is still open just not as pristine at the moment.

This one was located near a spot where yard waste was being dumped:

 

:( Didn't find it

we found shingles but we think the cache may be buried under a great pile of branches that has been recently dumped at GZ.

 

:D Found it

No luck here today, I also believe this one got buried
