Reading this article got me thinking, I wonder what’s the craziest thing someone’s found while geocaching? I know of someone who stumbled across a grow-op in the woods while hunting for a cache, another geocacher said he found a gun once. Has anyone actually discovered treasure? Please share your wild stories!
“At first, the Norwegian man thought his metal detector reacted to chocolate money buried in the soil. It turned out to be nine pendants, three rings and 10 gold pearls in what was described as the country’s gold find of the century.”
Slightly NSFW, but here is a non-exhaustive list of things I have found in geocaches
- A bong
- A condom (unused, thank god)
- several types of food
- actual cash (okay, about $2)
- packaging for a sex toy
- cigarrette rolling papers
Got to keep my fingers crossed, judging by this list I’m sure gold coins will be next! Hmm, maybe I should start a second thread on worst geocache finds. Luckily these are less than a dozen I can think of out of several thousand finds
