How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A small round snap top tupperware container. Located in a tree about 5ft off the ground.


The Concept

This one is for the kids that may think of geocaching as a treasure hunt. To that end, the idea here is to have some hidden 'treasure' out there, just waiting to be found!

 

What can be exchanged

I ask that this cache is used as a currency exchange, so that it resembles a classic treasure pot. If possible, please use a different cache such as the St Nicholas swap box (GC4J6J9 - N 51° 55.663 W 000° 11.047) for other swaps.

 

Suggested forms of currency to be deposited or exchanged are:

  •     Discontinued pre-decimal UK e.g. Threepence (or 3D);
  •     Discontinued decimal UK e.g. decimal half penny;
  •     Discontinued foreign currency, e.g French francs
  •     Low value foreign currency e.g. U.S. nickel (5 cent) or 1 cent Euro coin
  •     Toy / Pretend notes e.g. monopoly money
  •     Toy / Pretend coins
  •     Geocoins (of course)


To avoid any issues of actual monetary value I ask that no in circulation UK currency is deposited. Also in keeping with the geocaching rules:
Absolutely no chocolate coins or sweets!
