Used to do geocaching with my kids. Looks like a really crappy geocache. We found worse looking ones. Sometimes they were big pill bottles or whatever.
Also, is it in the grave yard or near the boundary? I seem to recall that you could not hide them in a cemetery, but you could on the boundary. |

If that is a geocache, then I am gonna be the guy that says geocachers are fucking idiots. Don't go around laying unmarked, suspicious packages on property that you don't own. We have had more than one issue in the USA of IEDs being used against us. What do they fucking think non-geocachers are going to thing when they find that. Despite popular belief, the world is NOT one person's individual playground. You want one of those? Buy some land. And not like ROPers like to target funerals or anything, so again... fucking morons. |

My onlyconcern now, is the vault has been suspended over the hole for a lot longer than intened.
Ideally the ground will hold indefinitely, However, it's 2600 pounds on four corners on semi soft ground. |

Quote HistorySatellite view for geocache listing being just north of and adjacent to a graveyard. Also adjacent to a ball field. Crappy, tape cover container, in the crotch of an old tree, in that type area tells me it is more than likely a geocache. Description on page also shows it is a new listing.

I hesitate to ask the question, but here goes - Are there any protections with geocaching to prevent someone from putting a new "cache" out there for people to find, but with intent to harm?
Shorter version - What if it IS a geocache, but also an IED? |

Why doesn't someone contact the cache owner and have them provide a description of the cache they left?

I'd bet it's not a geocache. They are never off by a quarter mile on coordinates, they are usually hard to find even when you are standing on top of them, they aren't allowed on private property without the owners permission. They should be marked.
