Depending on what threads the person read, it is very possible (s)he read some of our less flattering “debate” posts. If I were to come here and read those first I would question why to sign up as well.
These forums have so much potential but are too often used to argue rather than inform.
My guess would be that coins are located in high cache density areas. More caches in an area = more coins. The closer caches are together the more likely people are to visit an area (and bring coins with them). I’d suggest placing more caches in your area to make it a destination; cachers and coins will follow.

I always take a regular compass along with me. In fact, it’s lashed right to my fanny pack waist strap. When under cover, and close to ground zero it’s really helpful to cross-reference what the GPSr is telling me with what the compass “says”…Then comes the elusive use of “the force”… No one’s mentioning that these days but, I can assure you it exists!!
Cache on,

Some day I will be a real cacher using those fancy direction pointy thingys; until now I have used “The Force.”

Would this be a guidebook for geocachers, or for to give the municipality? Could you expand a little bit on this idea?
Perhaps a sheet which can be copied (or Down loaded as a PDF) which directly addresses the common concerns a community official would have with cache placement. Perhaps a Q & A sheet which would anticipate and address police and Park & Rec dept questions.
Addressing liability issues, how to get cache seekers to adhere to park regulations, the likely impact the cache would have on the environment etc.In addition, I asked permission to place a cache in Pewaukee and was asked by two government authorities about liability issues and other concerns. Rather than addressing these issues, I dropped my planned cache. In retrospect I should have asked for help here….A guidebook covering these topics would be nifty to have.
I have to believe something like this already exists somewhere?
Team Lightning Bugs has a great point…
“I think parks people may be more open-minded about geocaching when they can see how other communities have benefited.”
Just look at the Waukesha Winter Jamboree for example; we had easily a couple hundred cachers in town buying and eating in the local shops. This is in addition to all the visits we make to the town on non-event days to visit local caches.
As far as the parks go, busy parks are happy parks. And there is a scheduled CITO event scheduled in Waukesha shortly as well. We have some impact everywhere we go, and the park and community leaders should be made aware of it.
I agree with Jeff, possibly along with this fund could be a training guide for the presenter in a PDF or something so that more of us can pull off an event without looking like a noob.
I currently have two Lock n Locks in the field and they are holding up OK so far.

Back to the subject of this Topic…. still learned something from it and am interested in setting up a “members only” to see what all happens when people come visit. I assume it’s only something for the own of that cache to view.
I just opened one yesterday and as it turns out it was a good thing. I had transposed two numbers in the puzzle and was able to contact each person who visited the cache page even before anyone set out to find it (Save for one group who went in the dead of night).
