looking through some eBay listings and found a link to the following site:
http://geodetecting.com/volunteer
knowing all we know about the geocaching rules for placement, does this appear to be another way to play the game or something that is bound to stir up grief in the community??

Well, my first takeaway from what I checked out was… BURIED! Play your game like you want to, but it’s too similar to our game, and if this becomes widespread, I foresee lots of headaches. People already think geocaching is looking for buried treasure, which it is not, so now they will think so even more when they confuse geocaching with this other game, which seems to BE looking for buried treasure… 😕 🙄

Wow-what could possibly go wrong? I’m sure parks will love having people bury stuff (called “caches”) so other people can come and dig for them. This could turn into a real nightmare if it catches on.
05/24/2015 at 9:05 pm #2040069Boy oh boy! What were those people thinking when they came up with this one? Buried treasure? And calling them “geocaches?” Didn’t Jeremy Irish have the foresight to get copyright on that term? It won’t take many parks getting dug up to undo all the hard work folks like CommanderUSN have been doing with area park boards.
Glad we have other hobbies.
05/25/2015 at 6:02 am #2040071not sure they call them “Geocache” but cache which simply means a hiding place, especially one in the ground, for ammunition, food, treasures, etc.
but certainly playing off the concept.

05/25/2015 at 7:54 am #2040073okay, I guess this isn’t as new as I thought but it is the first time I have come across it.
GC.com has a thread from 2012 about it so, it is relatively new… just not sure how much wind it has beneath its wings.Disclaimer : Always answering to a higher power.
