Geocaching Gamepiece...I think they quit looking for it!

I found this Geocach Gamepiece this evening after dinner at a local neighborhood park. Rain and overcast skies most of the day made it a somewhat comfortable time to be out.
$2.56 in change and some gold colored...I don't know what:shrug: were the other finds. I had no idea what the black cylinder container (TID42) was till I got home. Looks like the last entry was in 2007. So it's been buried next to a PVC post for 7 years! It's aluminum from what I can tell and has a o-ring in the cap that kept it water tight. My guess is it was placed there to be found by other players, but I don't think it was buried at the time,but after not being found worked it's way into the ground. Geocaching.com is still an active web site so I might do some more investigating about it. GL ALL

I was a Geocacher years ago. Still have my handheld Garmin gps. I got tired of finding the ones in poison oak & ivy!! LOL

You may wanna relocate it and let the web site know where.

HH y'all.

Was indeed big fad a few years ago. Around my area it has died out in popularity as of late.. I did geo hunting a few times myself. Just never really felt the thrill others said they experienced form it.
 
I don't think anyone on these forums have found a Geocache item before, at least they haven't posted one. I can never understand Geocaching. For me personally, I would want to find something of worth, a gold ring or silver coin etc; but that's me and I figure many others don't understand why we do what we do. Everyone to his own I guess! Great finds and I'm still trying to figure out what that gold colored thingummy is?? lol!!
 
I have accidentally found two caches, without a GPS while woods hunting. That sure is a weird hobby. I guess ours is too but at least we get something in return for our money
 
I found a 'letterbox' a few years back while metal detecting some high dunes/woods ...it had a notebook in it, and you were supposed to write something, and the date and time and rehide it somewhere...it had a lot of entries in it, and some were pretty cool...poems and whatnot...shoulda took a pic of the inside, but heres what the outside looked like. Nice find Bob!:clapping:

Never heard of Geocaching till yesterday. Emailed the web site but no response so far.
No idea what it is GS. not magnetic, 7.9g, not as bright and shinny inside.:shrug:
Mud...I'm surprised that with your way with words you didn't write SOMETHING??? I'm sure you could of left them laughing:lol:, stunned and bewildered:huh: or calling 911:surprised:
 
I did geocache for a few years. It was nice when folks hid the "Cache" in an area that you would be interested in visiting. I quit when most of them became either bison tubes (pictured in the original post) or 35mm film cans and were placed everywhere.

I've found several geocaches in my local parks. I just sign in, leave a dug coin or something and replace it where I found it.
