About This Item

O.C.B.

The O.C.B. (Original Can of Beans) is Geocachings First Trade Item, placed in the "Original Stash" by Dave Ulmer (the Inventor of Geocaching and the hider of the first cache) back in May of 2000.
 

YouTube Video
 

While preparing the cement foundation of the Original Stash Tribute Plaque,
TEAM 360 found the Holy Grail of Geocaching: The O.C.B.

Dave Ulmer, at the site for the Plaque ceremony, immediately confirmed
that it was indeed the Original Can of Beans from that very first geocache.
Another cacher, RomadPilot, just happened to be running video at the exact second the O.C.B. was found.

Although it was damaged from being partially buried and exposed to the weather of the Portland area for several years, the can was very carefully straightened out and thoroughly cleaned, then treated with several coats of rust stopper/converter and u.v.-resistant polyurethane. It was then placed in a clear display case for all geocachers to enjoy.
