The ones I've come are across are real TBs that are either attached via a magnet or similar to the back of a sign, or have a description for an offset from the actual virtual cache location e.g. under a bench seat 15 Metres at 086 from cache GZ.

I was afraid it might be something like that. A shame. For me the value of Geocaching is <br> (a) the hunt <br> (b) the location(s)<br> The trophy at the end is mostly incidental. I am usually TNLN these days<br><br> I rarely have time to go out physically do the hunt at the moment. I take vicarious...

There is precedent for non .com "TB"s
Check out http://www.monkeycache.com/
for an example .com reference this one on their links page, so are clearly OK about it.

The best mine has ever said is 4m. I'v had a 6m EPE that was 60 meters out and a 4m EPE that was 75cm out. But don't forget that you are comparing to someone elses GPS (unless you are using a fixed and known mark like Greenwich England), so all you are really saying is that you are 60m/75cm differe...

Hmm,
This would make an interesting Reverse Cache.
I would add budget required though.
