“Finder’s Tree”

[subterranean]

Can anyone answer this one?

What is a “finder’s tree?”

check out the groundspeak thread — I added my 2 cents.

Eseentially, you’re with some other cachers and you see the cache, but want to let others have the chance to find it too. So you stand somewhere away from the cache (usually at a tree, but any spot will do) and declare that you are at the finder’s tree. As others spot the cache they also move to the finder’s tree area. When everyone has had a turn at finding the cache it is retrieved and the log is signed.

It’s just a polite way to let everyone have a turn.

No to mention the teasing that goes on towards the last person who is still searching.

Have to make sure we utilize this idea when we go out in a team to find “The Gauntlet”

For this application of the concept it will be called the ‘Survivor’s Tree’.

on a recent geocaching vernture with the folks, I spotted the cache and declared a finder’s tree. Mom spotted it and joined me. The finder’s tree slowly crept closer and closer to the actual tree where the cache was hid before Dad found the cache (or rather, it was pointed out to him.)
