All of the cache contents will be found in a large rectangular tupperware container. The cache contents include many types of collectibles; An old stock certificate,old letters(one an authentic letter written in 1816), stamps(some Arizona postal history items), coins, sports cards(old and new)and even a book. Due to the number of items, it may take more than a little time to evaluate the items and decide which, if any, have a personal significance for you. Our hunch is that some of these items have both historic and monetary value. Please take an item or two and leave some type of collectible in return.
We wish all who visit this site the joy of history and a love of the world.
3-2-2003- Thanks to all the geo-cachers who alerted us to the unhappy state of our cache container. Today, we returned to the cache site and installed a brand new watertight container. We added some postal history collectibles( one an authentic and interesting letter written in 1909) and a $10.00 bill we found near another cache. We publicized the find, and no one has claimed it, so maybe a small dinner for two, after a long day on the caching trail? We also left a "Where'sGeorge" dollar bill that we found in another cache. Using the internet, you can follow the travel history of this bill. Information on how to do this is written on the dollar bill. We left the soggy sports cards in the new container because we believe that they will eventually dry out and be collectible. For example, The Bob Griese, Sonny Jurgenson and Wayne Gretsky cards might fall into the very collectible category.Although not in mint condition because of their exposure to the elements, they might fill an otherwise empty space in a collectors album.
The cache remains at the same coordinates. We wish all the very best of geo-caching experiences!
