[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;41986205]Me and my family used to do this a lot.
My favorite items were the "travel bugs". They're items with a tracking number on it (It's usually a dog tag attached, that the owner recieves when registering the object.) Sometimes the item has a "goal", like to get to a certain country or city, some only wish to track where it's been.
If the owner wants the item to go to a certain place, they usually put some sort of note on or with the object, and it's considered proper etiquette to not take it unless you're going to drop it off somewhere closer to it's destination.

Maybe the OP could add something about the [URL="http://www.geocaching.com/track/default.aspx"]trackables[/URL]?

He could have tried to contact the person who placed it, told them it was on his property and ask them to move it to somewhere else.

You kind of aren't supposed to leave knives in them. Same goes for live ammunition (not sure about spent shells or casings) and food.
Just letting you know if you ever decide to seek another cache.

I think I might go out and try to find one this weekend, if I can find my GPS.[/QUOTE]
Me and my friends didn't have anything to leave in one, so we left the finest cigarette money can buy, a Newport. Is that against etiquette too?

Yeah, because kids might find it.
Congrats. You're a terrible person*. :v:
*I don't really mean it. Insufficient data.
i went hiking with my brother, we found a cache on top of a tree accidentally, we weren't even geocaching, there was an envelope inside with four 5€ bills saying something roughly translated as: "Congratulations! enjoy your 20 bucks".
TL;DR i will begin geocaching
Damn, looks like someone removed the piece of paper with secret coordinates on
Today I went for a walk with my dog and when I came up to the entrance into the woods (1 house away from me) I saw a car with dutch license plates and a man fondling with something on a pole with barbed wire hidden away between some trees. After he left I went and looked what he was doing and found 2 bottle caps taped together strapped with a ziptie to the barbed wire. I took out the little container and took it home.

(sorry for the blurry picture)
There was a little note in it with some names and timestamps scribbled on them. Under one of the names someone scribbled TFTC. I looked it up on google and found out it means 'thanks for the cache'. Turns out it's a geocache. After that I went and put it back.
Anyone on facepunch still doing this? Seems like a fun hobby. I checked the geocache site and found out there are quite a few in the forest where I go with my dog. Gonna try and find some after my exams.
