Ahoy matey! We’re excited to share information about an upcoming Treasures collection. On September 22, geocachers can start working to complete the Pirate Treasures collection. To collect these swashbuckling Treasures, cachers must find and log Mystery Caches or Multi-Caches with a difficulty rating of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, or 4.
Geocaching has always been about more than finding a container. It’s about discovery, surprise, and the connections we make along the way. For 25 years, geocachers have created and shared signature items—from geocoins and wooden nickels to handmade art, stickers, and trading cards—as a way to express themselves and connect with others.

With Shareables, players can create digital artwork, finalize it with a Shareables subscription, and share it in-game by linking Shareables to geocaches they own, gifting them through cache logs, or sending them in person through the Geocaching® mobile app (version 10.14.1+ on iOS and Android).
