We've done 10+ in a day a few times, while travelling into new areas for us (but with lots of driving in between) and I really wouldn't want to do many more than that. As it was, I started taking notes as we finished each cache, so I'd remember the features of it for the online log.
It seems a waste of good caches to blur them all together, but I guess that's because we've done almost all of the caches within a couple of hours' drive and well over half of the South Island cache tally. Unfound caches are a precious commodity, to be treasured!
If there's thousands of caches in your vicinity, many of them lame "car park micros", then clearing 'em off the radar could be a good thing!

Of course if they wanted a real challenge I could suggest one cache in 24 hours.

Yes it was a good laugh. Amazing how times change. There are people who think they are slacking off if they don't find 30 in a day! (not me...)

This thread totally confused me until I saw the dates. Yes, times have indeed changed.

Thanks Squalid I was completely baffled whilst reading this one too and at this time of night wouldn't have thought to check the datesqualid wrote:This thread totally confused me until I saw the dates. Yes, times have indeed changed.

So what is the record for 'Most finds in a single day' in Australia? the world? now.

My record is 31 in a day (or afternoon perhaps it was?), but that was a power trail and I cycled between them. I also found over 20 caches one day in Wellington NZ, but I had to walk about 18kms to find and log them. So I can't imagine finding 246 caches in 24 hours. However, there were three people and that helps, plus I wonder if they ever split up to search separately for caches?
