+Team Microdot Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Coords took us to the most likely looking bobbin and the easiest to check, but despite the use of various tools, there was definitely nothing there. Likewise with all the other bobbins. Having read the logs and seeing that it disappears on a regular basis, we decided to leave a replacement. As there is a clear view under the bobbin closest to GZ, especially from the seat, we thought we'd try another. Think pink. Hope this will keep the cache alive as we don't want to lose any!

I left the container near GZ in case the CO wants to come out and inspect the remains himself. I did not have a pill bottle in the vehicle, so I'm sorry I could not make the replacement.

As a finder, I quickly look at the green/red/grey dots on my app to determine whether the cache is worth visiting. Green dots, drive 10km for the cache. Find only a lid. I see red or grey dots I look at the last logs to read the details or skip the cache without looking, there are others to find. I see green I'm going to assume that the cache container is there and in a condition that would deem I've found a container with a logsheet that I can sign. I would much prefer that the finder who found only a lid log it as either a DNF or a Note, not a Find. I don't cache to find bits of containers or to simply reach ground zero. But shrug, as the mantra goes, 'Everyone can play the game how they like. It's just a game.' We each make up our own rules and guidelines and everything is acceptable. 1 Link to comment

I have no problem skipping by those stinky caches, reading every cache page for issues to decide if I'll even do it, so I'm kinda on the same line as microdot. (not often that happens... ). Replacing just for that smiley simply enforcing poor behavior, but at least showing others how the numbers folks do it... The few that have little mention of issues, to find when getting there it's a POS, I don't understand why people log them if not for that "point". 2 Link to comment

I searched several times for a cache in a park where my GPS was telling me that GZ was at a spot where there was a small bush. At the base of the bush was a hose which I assumed a groundskeeper had been using to water the bush. There were no less than 4 strings/ribbons in the bush that could have been used to tether a container. I was sure that the cache might have been muggled (by the grounds keeper) until I found it in a tree about 25 feet away where it was originally hidden. If you're not finding a container with a log book/sheet that can be signed then you haven't found the cache. If you've posted a found it log when all you found are the remains of a cache, something that might have been use to tether the cache, or a hiding spot that could hold a cache, you may consider it "perfectly acceptable" to log a find. It's not perfectly acceptable. It's just that you can often get away with it. It would be perfectly acceptable for a cache owner to delete that log. 3 1 Link to comment

One time we found the obvious tether (a piece of fishing line with a wire attachment on the bottom, hanging from the grate in a street drain). Based on the hint, we went straight to where is should have been - I sent a message to the CO (we know her) with a pic of what we found. Turns out she was home when the message came in, lives a block away, fixed it promptly, and told us to log the find. We did, but since it's local to us we will likely go back and sign the log anyway. It feels somehow unfinished since we didn't sign the log! But we did claim the find that day with the CO's permission (and noted that in our online log). Link to comment

I didn't log a "find", instead I logged a "needs maintenance" As was stated before, If I log a find then that is sending a signal to others that the cache is in good shape What's so hard about this concept? 2 Link to comment

+Korichnovui Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) It took a basic member with only 27 finds to log/say the correct thing, that's depressing: ~ ~ ~ Member 27 Didn't find it 5/30/2018 Construction zone needs to be rechecked Premium Member 1337 Found it 5/28/2018 Thanks for the stop. Our fam is in getting ice cream while we’re getting smilies. We found ground zero, but are obeying fence line. Premium Member 148 Found it 5/28/2018 Be hind the offense but thanks for the stop love the cheese Member 3 Found it 5/27/2018 Counting as found but, it is behind the construction fence. Will try again later in the summer Premium Member 1850 Found it 4/14/2018 Stopped for ice cream on our way to .... Claiming the find even though it is in the construction zone. Premium Member 62 Write note 4/14/2018 I have found this one previously and the area it was in is gone. Member 568 Found it 4/5/2018 Have to count as found, even though couldn't get to exact spot due to condition. Premium Member 155 Found it 4/4/2018 It’s in the construction zone so I’m saying we found it Premium Member 476 Found it 3/30/2018 I’m logging this as found because it’s inside the construction zone Premium Member 2873 Write note 3/22/2018 .....Before leaving the lot on this rainy day I decided to drive as close as I could to GZ. About 150 into the construction zone my gps directed me. Lmk if virtual is available.!

+lolbagelz Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I'm having trouble finding it now, but I came across one recently that was like "I searched too long for this to not be a smiley" from someone with 16k finds. It was the singular "find" in a string of DNFs on a low difficulty cache that was almost definitely missing. 1 Link to comment
+JL_HSTRE Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I recently came across a Find log after a string of DNFs, that said "no container so I'm treating this as a Virtual" (the cache was a Traditional). That drew a successful NA, but unfortunately not a deleted log. Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 After 4 consecutive DNFs going back almost a year: Premium Member 14164 Found it 06/19/2018 I took the liberty to replace this one as it's part of a power trail. Hope it stays in place. Link to comment

What are they thinking? I have seen a rather experienced cacher log that they were at a cache. I was at this cache after. I did not see the log entry. I thought perhaps they forgot. this happened several times. I wont confront them but it seems a bit strange to me as to why they would go and then not log??? Link to comment

I always say the real people they are cheating are themselves, honestly. Although I do think it sort of degrades the overall experience by setting a poor example. My husband stopped logging his finds online awhile back, but he always signs the log sheet Link to comment
