We've known that some of our Agents are also avid cachers, but we've recently learned that some Agents are hiding small items in boxes similar to this one. They share rough lat/long coordinates, or drop an Xmp to mark their #Ingress caches on the scanner app. It sounds a bit like a year-round, global Easter egg hunt. How clever.
Neat!
ReplyDeletegeocaching on top of ingress, love it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately a dropped XMP will disappear after 12 hrs, no?
ReplyDeleteDANG, and I was leaving Rockstar's an 5 hour energy.
ReplyDeletePower cube leads us to a physical cache cube in the scanner? This would be awesome!
ReplyDeletePhil Nolan i haven't had my items decaying when i drop them.
ReplyDeleteChris Thompson Generally they do. I dumped a couple hundred items before I knew about that, the next day they were all gone.
ReplyDeleteIt's been about 1.5 months since I've had one decay. I'll try it again just to make sure though.
ReplyDeleteYeah from what I understand there is a 12 hour decay clock on dropped items
ReplyDeleteOh how fun
ReplyDeleteI approve of this. Geocaching is my passion
ReplyDeleteI have tested the drop a few times the items always disappear and I did it in the middle the field on my grandma's farm to make sure that it wouldn't be picked up not even with GPS draft. And I checked it couldn't even be seen from the road.
ReplyDeleteI just tested it again with some resonators and a burster and they're still here despite it being over 24 hrs.
ReplyDeleteYou must be lucky then. Maybe someone picked them up and dropped them again lol idk it has been 12 hour decay since about January
ReplyDeleteI'll try to look into it more.
ReplyDeleteI heard the same thing, someone said that in some areas there were no active low level players so I teams were just being left to set there
ReplyDeleteBen Maller Do you know any place specific that you can think of?
ReplyDeleteI did it on my grandma's farm 66 acres. Just the drive way is 1/4 mile long
ReplyDeleteThat the items stayed there without decaying?
ReplyDeleteNo, they did decay I was testing to see if they would because I have heard both ways and I figured I could store things there since 1) it is private property and big enough that it couldn't be reached by people from the road and 2) even if someone would be bould enough to trespass to get them the wouldn't see the items going by anyway because it was out of the scanners sight from the road kinda figured it soul have been a great place to store extra keys till needed and media
