So do we get one of each coin, or how is it determined which coin we get??

Successful players will get one of the 250 antique silver coins that were made especially for this game. The 25 limited edition bronze coins are reserved for very special trades. Please don't post here for trade requests. Contact us via email.

Um, I am looking at the people who logged caches today and they are not following your guidelines as I read them.  It is my understand that this activity starts today, am I correct?

Well technically, all we said was that caches before November 12th would not count. These were all logged today so no harm, no foul. It would be nice if from now on people would write in their cache log that they logged the cache while playing the coin quest game. We have added this request to our guidelines.

 

OOPS, we didn't look at a couple of them close enough. Our skeleton crew informed us of a couple of vialations so the entries have been deleted. They said they would let it go this time. . . .

Me thinks ye cachers are gettin a bit ahead of emselfs....appears we'll be havin to delete some false starts eh?

 

PEOPLE.....take a few minutes and READ THE RULES!! All 16 of the cache requirements must be caches visited starting today...no LOGs before NOV 12th!!

There is also a 24 waiting period between logs...

I find that this part of the page people might look over.

 

Playing The Game;

Once you've signed up to play, log in and go to 'Log A Cache' This page features 16 different icons, each one represents the type of cache you will need to log. These must be new logs, it is against the guidelines to revisit a cache you have already been to prior to Nov 12th 2005 - Please visit HERE for a more detailed description of the 16 cache requirements. These caching requirements can be done in any order, some may require more research and be a bit further or harder to get to, others may be right in your backyard or you may even find yourself creating one or two of them! Each time you log a Cache Requirement you will receive a piece of a Treasure Map, only you can see your Treasure map and you must be logged in to see it. You are only allowed to log one Cache every 24 hours, the reason for this is to give more folks equal playing ground. When writing your log on the geocaching web site please state in your log that you are logging this cache as a requirement for the Coin Quest game.

That sounds a real funny and interesting game! :o

We just registered and we also had a cache today that requires the game, great! Okay, we just did our log entry for that cache before we read in the rules that you also have to mention the Coin Quest game in the log entry. But we hope it still counts and will add this to the logs of any further caches that we want to count for this game.

And no - we are not coin addicted. Well...not really. Or are we? :laughing:

If we find more than 1 type in a single day can we log 1 every 24 hours or does it have to be a new find every 24 hours? All ofter Nov. 12th of course.

Sure, you can find them all in one day as long as that day is Nov 12th or after. But you can only log 1 required cache type every 24 hours to get a new piece for your treasure map. Nobody will be able to finish before 16 days.

15) ATTEND AN EVENT CACHE

This could be another difficult one depending if there is an upcoming geocaching event in your area. If not you might need to plan one. Bear in mind that geocaching requires events to be submitted 2 weeks in advance so don't dilly dally. And check those newbies carefully . . . our crew might be there checking up on you. We wouldn't recommend serving rum punch!

 

Here is my question. To me the description implies that I either attend an event or have an event myself. Today I held the South Central PA event but I did not log the event as attended because I am the host. Would this fulfill the requirement of #15 for hosting the event?

 

Thanks.

this is good place to visit also

I also read the rules and I'm assuming everything I did today will count I just have to be patient and log them one day at a time?

 

I'm not sure I saw this address in there rules or I could of missed it.

Can you use the same cache for multiple requirements? I found a cache today in the woods with a great view.  Can I use it for both requirements?

Edited to ask if I found a TB yesterday but dropped it in another cache today does it still count?

 

<Can you use the same cache for multiple requirements? I found a cache today in the woods with a great view. Can I use it for both requirements?>

 

:o Sorry no, each cache you log can only be used once to meet your requirment. :)

 

<I found a TB yesterday but dropped it in another cache today does it still count?>

 

As long as the DAY you MOVED the BUG is ON or AFTER Nov 12th - then go ahead and count it!! :)

Question regarding the category of placing a new cache:

 

Does "placing", ie hosting an event cache count?  The requirement does say a cache of any type, but I thought I'd ask.

 

Mrs. Car54

You could count this as "1" requirement ie; #15 or #13 but you could not use it for both....but Thanks for asking!! :o

Sounds like fun,count me in please.This could be an expensive hunt for me with the gas(glad its not $3.00+ a gallon) and probaly leaving work early a few times to head towards the Pittsburgh area or south a few times to log some caches for this neat game.Not many close to home any longer! :o

Looks good to us! If you don't want to post a 'find' log maybe you can post a note that you were the Host of this event and are thereby claiming it as your #15 cache requirement :o

 

Good Job!!

Am I correct that it's 1 cache a day? :o

I'm not sure if you can post one per calendar day or one every 24 hours (quite different, actually). Also, I noted that time timezone of the server is being used because when I logged my cache yesterday after 11:00pm it dated it as 11/13 not 11/12. I guess I missed a day then. Maybe we shouldn't have stayed at the event so long... :)

As long as they are caches you found on or after November 12th, if you find more than one qualifying cache in a day you can use them all but you will only be able to log one at a time. After 24 hours you can log the next one and so forth. If our skeleton crew of cache monitors determine you are using a cache that was found previous to November 12th then that entry will be deleted.

 

When you log a cache on our web site it takes a time stamp of the event. Then it will make you wait for exactly 24 hours before you can log another cache. The time stamps are recorded in Mountain Standard Time which is GMT -7 hours. Every player waits for exactly 24 hours regardless of which time zone they live in.

A couple of questions:

 

Do CITO events count as event caches for your purposes? They are listed as a separate type (with separate icon) on geocaching.com. I have seen this question alsek already but have not seen a response.

 

In regard to the 3 digit match category... Many puzzle caches use coords like this for the false location when posting the cache. Do these qualify for 3 digit finds?

 

We're playing...

OK I went out and did several caches today and most overlapped the categories. I logged one but can't remember which category :mad: I went back a few pages but still don't know. If I go to relog a diff cache under the same category will it tell me that I have already logged it? I hope so because I was teetering between 2 and both qualified. I don't want to mess up 2 days in a row :signalviolin:
