+kbootb Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 What's the quickest find after you placed a cache? On the other hand, what's the longest you have had to wait before a find was reported? Quote Link to comment
+McDeHack Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 One of mine was found the same day it was posted. But I would bet with the keeness of the FTF gang. Mine would not be the only one. Quote Link to comment

+Daisy&me Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hell Bay cache in the Isles of Scilly was hidden for 20 months before it was found! Quote Link to comment
+mongoose39uk Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Found In sight of the flag (now archived) about 20 mins after it went live. Quote Link to comment
+rufty tufty boys Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 In this part of Wiltshire it is unusual for a new cache to last the day... Usually Stonefisk gets out there and bags it before the rest of us have realised a cache is live. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) I once set three traditional caches that were all approved at the same time, about 8am on a Saturday morning. By 11am one of our 'elder statesmen' had logged a FTF on all three. The slowest... probably my last cache. Cache page says it was hidden 31/10/2004 but in truth, it wasn't approved until 3/12/2004. The first finders eventually found it and logged it 8 days later. Edited January 28, 2005 by Pharisee Quote Link to comment

+rutson Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 And even that should be note, he didn't get near it. Quote Link to comment
markandlynn Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 This cache was found before we knew it had gone live. We reckon less than an hour after approval it was found. I am sure the reviewer may be able to give more accurate info though. Quote Link to comment
+minstrelcat Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Knew there was a list somewhere Longest waits It's not working very well. Two of our local caches (Forget-Me-Motte and The Deck of Fate and Fortune - Part one) were found well before the date shown on that page. Lisa EDIT: That's so weird - I just looked at the page and "The Deck of Fate and Fortune - Part one" which was near the top of the table has disappeared now.

+Pengy&Tigger Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Not so weird. When using GC:UK, if you click on a link to the G.Com site to look at a cache page, it automatically updates the GUK database with that caches details(I'm sure Deego can correct me if I'm wrong).
