yea when i was caching in tennessee i found one with a sealed waterbottle.. and a open bubble container that was leaking.. i was like really i wouldnt put that stuff in a cache even tho in southern tenn it doesnt get that cold normally but it could and it could freeze ugh it annoyed me when i touched the wet stuff.
Golfballs, yes! Collect them and trade for them whenever we see them. Have a whole bucket full. Also collect bottle caps and poker chips. We love the trading aspect of the game and are sad to see it somewhat trivialized nowadays.
Get most of our “cache stash” items from Wal-Mart or Dollar Tree.
For the longest time I collected carabiners. One day I discovered that I had about 200 of them hanging in a closet. My wife told me that she thought I had plenty. So, I took them all and put them in an ammo can and called it “A tribute to Gurnee Glen”, a well-known cacher who has personalized carabiner swag. Within 2 weeks, the ammo can and all of the swag were gone. The hide was impossible to just stumble across.
Now I just take pathtags or move trackables.
My daughter collects erasers and bracelets. My youngest son collects bottle caps, pins and shot gun shells (I don’t know why), my oldest son coins.
My boys don’t want their matchbox cars anymore so we’ve been putting them in all the containers they can fit in. We have 100+ to place. We have tons of toys, mostly new, that the kids are giving up (thank goodness – especially the McDonalds toys) 🙂

WHAT!?! nobody said golfballs yet??? 😯 😆 🙄
Duck505 collects them. If they are in good enough shape, they will get used on the golf course. HE also loves to collect the sig cards people leave. He’s got a big collection from BigGuy and PMurk. 😀
I don’t collect anything in particular, but I do like to look through the stuff even if it is all ‘crap’.
