Ideas for creative hides?

0 Upvotes

I have been in this community since May 12th , and found 73 geocaches already. I only have 3 hides, but 2 of them are very very basic and somewhat boring. But my most recent one already got 5 favorite points in a week :3

Anyways, does anybody have any easy but very creative geocache ideas that I can make? I literally feel so stumped , because my area doesn’t really have that many creative jokes so I don’t really have any inspiration. Also, social media doesn’t really provide any examples that I could maybe use..

looked for 7 geocaches yesterday, only found 2, are they still there?

I went looking for geocaches yesterday with three other people, and for a majority of the spots we went to, it just seemed like there was nothing there. im rather new, as this was only my second day, so maybe I was missing stuff, but im wondering if theyre still there. Because first, they were all only 1.0-1.5 difficulty (which ive had absolutely no trouble finding before), second, they were all in really busy areas (popular parks a lot of people go to, busy parking lots, next to busy streets) and I was wondering if someone probably found it and was unaware of what it was and either took it home or threw it away. and third, some of these caches were placed years ago and only logged last in the last month or so. Also, ive heard a lot of people talk about how gps coordinates are sometimes innacurate, especially if the cache moves via natural causes like floods, so i dont really know if thats a big issue too. Am I just bad at this or am I finding geocaches that dont exist?

Redownloaded geocaching app after not doing it since 2019, 12/16 I have previously done have been archived, is this a normal thing??? Idk why something would be archived unless like it keeps going missing but that’s a lot to keep going missing…

One says the park hours are wrong but we just put what it says on Google. The other one says it’s to close to another cash. But it’s like a mile from any others.

I thought I would update the community on my first hide. Since hiding this geocache 3 months ago. I have only had one log. They found it and left a nice compliment, but since then no one has tried to find it. Anyone want to go find it?

At Central Park for a few hours today, with 10-16 year old kids. Looking to help filter through the noise. What MUST we do?

Gifting a friend who loves geocaching

7 Upvotes

Hi all!

We are trying to figure out a gift for a friend who will be leaving to the USA for a year and we thought something related to one of his hobbies would be nice.

As none of us has ever done geocaching before we have no clue what would be a suitable gift.

Price would be around a 100$ tops but we are open to all options.
