If you dig hard enough, you can still find Locationless caches on GC.COM. OK, they're archived, but it doesn't stop 'em being logged

Not saying that going hell-for-leather for 'em is the done thing, but bagging one or two for the icon won't do any harm! :lol:

Here's 2 pages of Locationless cache types!

Oh, erm, you can't log 'em as finds.... :oops:

You could try

but not succeed

sorry but their all Locked

which means no editing by the owner of the cache, nor can anyone make a log to it. And nope I'm not unlocking any of them either :shock:

Archived caches are viewable for reference purposes, that includes Locationless caches

Bah, I only want one <cry> :lol:

You mean you can't get those icons anymore??? Bah! :lol:

Does that mean you COULD if you wanted to?

I think one possibility for logging a locless would be to find an old virtual which was miscategorized

Log a find and then tell TPTB that it should have been a locless.
Here's an example: GCC349

PopUpPirate wrote:Bah, I only want one <cry>

I least I can console myself with the knowledge that they were all locked well before I even started caching.

However, GC5152 was still unlocked six months AFTER you started PuP! :mrgreen:

by **bargee72** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 12:49 pm

I got 7 i think before they were locked..... I put some effort in to give some information especially for the locks one

by **Foinavon** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 2:50 pm

The annoying is is that they were still active when I started (not for long!) but I never bothered with them. I wish I had now.

by **Jungle Goddess** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 10:25 am

I wonder if it is possible to nick one off someone else ... by editing the cache log? Hmmm ....

Or if I was to change the cache type on one of my archived ones ..... Hmmmmm again

Or if we were to hold Deci at gunpoint .....

Or test the other two reviewers and see if they are still a bit green :mrgreen:

Can you not back date your log date because I'm sure I did one years ago and forgot to log it :twisted:

Sorry I wasn't joking when I said their Locked. I couldn't even post a Reviewer note to one without unlocking it. A Locked cache will not accept any type of log whatever the date of the log. Not even a cache owner can post any details to one

1219 cachers registered the same day as you PuP.
Simply find one which has a locless find on it but is no longer used and email them asking if you can have their ID

request a name change for your main id from popuppirate to something else.

request a name change for your newly acquired id to Popuppirate

Re-log all existing finds under your new id

Job done!

Ermm nope sorry not possible. You can only change the user name of a account to a unregistered name. Once a name has been registered it's locked down in the Database

It's a disgrace! the weather vane at Lords wasn't logged. This must represent a Prima facie case to unarchive it to allow someone to do the necessary :lol:

Good job you didn't then, as I'd have had 2 upset UK cachers not one

who got and lost the icon

As I advised you before JG live with it

if you want locationless there are plenty on Waymarking for you to go for

by **MandL** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:54 pm

It would be better if everyones profile had all the icons but with a count of 0 against some, this angst would then probably dissapear.
Same applies to geocoins etc.

by **jhewitt15** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 5:24 pm

Whats the use in hunting for the elusive cache icons then

I was really excited a few weeks ago and happily went to Tatton Park specially for this Wherigo [wherigo]

The Tatooine Incident It was great to finally get the icon. I think the only one I need now is the CITO one I should get in May and a webcam cache I should be able to get in Belfast in April

There's quite a few other icons apart from that you can only get in America, nds benchmarks, and there's actually a travelling Garmin exhibition that you can log.

by **The Bolas Heathens** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:45 pm

These are about the most un-exciting things we've ever done while caching as they tend to be little metal nipple things on a concrete plinth and usually hidden by long grass. They don't even count towards your total finds, so the only reason to do them is to get the icon

And not only that, as a newbie to 'benchmarking' when you log one, someone will quite probably come along and tell you that what you found wasn't quite the right thing and imply your log should be deleted/edited. US benchmarking is a boring waste of time IMO, Groundspeak play it down well on the site and for good reason

At least UK trigs are normally in nice hilltop locations :lol:

Some of them are just ridiculous, how hard can this be to find:

[dog-in-manger]

Some folk mananaged to log them with dates in 2005 so they wouldn't be so obvious

I very helpfully sent Nate an email listing them all...

I looked at waymarking and beat a hasty retreat from the website. Just what is the point of having just about every branch of <insert name of retail outlet> as a waymark?

Which is why Locationless caches got axed - they were rapidly heading that way. I'm sure there are worthy waymarks that lead to really nice places to visit but yep, most of them seem to be pointless to me at least.

Though It may be useful to find interesting places to hide caches in your local area.

Name your price Jack to give me the final coordinates just so I can get the icon!

My new gps has a WhereIGo tutorial, if I did that I suppose I might actually understand what one is, I haven't got around to it yet though!

I believe your talking about the GPS Maze it's actually a Groundspeak Project in collaboration with Minotaur Mazes.

If you know of a suitable venue willing to host it for 3 months, and can raise I believe £50,000 + international shipping. Then you can bring the Maze to the UK.

Hehe, iirc, you need to log it on the wherigo site as well, which requires you to upload your 'end' of the cartridge. if you cant do that due to not having followed the wherigo, the co might/possibly will delete your log
