+Planet Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 What I DON'T want to find is yet another cache that someone has put scented or food items in. Listen up cachers! No food or scented items in the caches! OK? Quote Link to comment
+Vader Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Flashlights, and Knifes All right I know you shouldn't place Knifes inside caches........ Maybe just Flashlights. I try to place one in every new cache I out out there. Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Actuary Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 One thing I have yet to see in a cache log is Took piece of crap left something really good. All I ever read is took something really good left piece of crap. This is my point. Everyone complains about crap in caches, as menial as this sounds I guess I am trying to start something by this thread. Leave great take good. Leave good take crap. I and many others who I have read your threads don't want to take crap and leave good. It is a never ending cycle. I started myself in my first two finds. Only I took nothing and left crap. Crap stinks literally and figurality speaking. Hi, Quite frankly, I too am sick of finding someone elses garbage in a cache box. It's almost as if many Geocachers go through their pockets to find whatever they can to trade. If they're going caching, they should have the foresight to take something of value with them. At a minimum, they could throw in a two pack of AA batteries instead of some crappy trinket from a happy meal. It's not even that I'm in it for the trading. I too like finding the cache, but I'm tired of "trache" in the cache! And it's not a matter of money either. If a cacher can afford the GPS and the other caching supplies, it's not too much to ask that they make an effort on what they put into a cache. Quote Link to comment
Captain Kidd Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I try to leave a cache in better condition. I recently went and bought several matchbox cars yoyo's and mini squirt guns. for the children. and am looking for some compasses for the adults. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to do this. Dollar stores are a great place to find some nice items. As far as me finding anything . I would like to see anything as long as it isn't junk. Quote Link to comment

Ted's Trekkers Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 it is all in the attitude - our favorite treasure is a small plastic skunk (I think it is Flower from the Bambi movie) with no arms. We all has such a good laugh about why someone would leave this broken toy. We made up stories as to how she lost her arms? did she lose her scent as well? will she get prothsesis arms? So instead of complaining about junk - make the best of it! we like: local interest items,touristy stuff,jokes,foreign coins don'tlike: golf balls, McDonald's toys, personal items such as combs,lipgloss,hair ties,etc. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hi, I leave better than I take, and also leave more than I take. I like to take something from every cache I visit, not including the trash often found inside a cache. I also try to leave something for both kids and adults in every cache I visit. I have some signature items, but also tend to carry toys and coins and tools and $ store stuff. nfa Quote Link to comment
+Polgara Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I keep hoping to find some hot single guy in there, but that hasn't happened yet, so I just keep hikin n cachin. Quote Link to comment
Computerdood Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I really enjoy Geocoins. I have found a couple, and taken them...I try to leave something worth while...I wll take TB's also. And Also Polished Rocks are unique. I like to show them to my Non-Geocacihing Friends. I love this hobby, and feel that the people that have been at it a while may be "burned out". I agree, the hunt is the prize. Finding something that is particularly challenging is rewarding, but a trinket to take is a prize as well. My Daughter (16) has been on a few Cache's...Due to her schedule, she doesn't have the time...but loves the "Trinkets' that I bring home and show her!. It is perspective. I once found a Solid State TV (LCD). I mean...it worked and everything...Almost felt guilty taking it...but I did. Left a TB and some other trinkets...I didn't see any log entry regarding who left it...or I would have tried to reward in kind. Just my $.02 Computerdood Quote Link to comment
MedTexPlacer Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I enjoy finding stuff I can use in a cache like camo tape, micro containers, rope, camo fabric. I have found all of these and have used them in my caches. I like unique stuff as well. A working pen or pencil and a dry log is also great. Quote Link to comment
Earthdog Patrick Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I'm waiting for the day I find a cache with a kitty in it! Quote Link to comment
