Geocache Description:

Altoid tin..  The D/R ratings reflect the difficulty of completing this challenge; the actual site is more like 2/1.  Find six caches that have as the first notation some kind of symbol instead of beginning with a letter or number.  To qualify, each of the 6 symbols must be different.


Caches which have a name that begins with a symbol rather than a letter or number are rare.  I reviewed my finds which at this time were 8800 and--not counting " "--had 15 different typs for a total of 35 finds.  These were { }, ', +, --, =, < >, *, -, #, ::, ~, ( ), [ ], ?, and .  Present your finds like the following format giving the name of the cache, its GC code, and date of find.
