We use satellites, so 'a constellation of cachers' .

Since geocaching uses gps, why not go with constellation.

Darn it, beaten by 2 minutes.

Multi and confluence I like.

I know we call a group of geocaches with machetes a 'slash'. Came up on our last hike up a lantana covered mountain.

Had a bit more of a think. A decending of cachers, in honour of those freshly published caches!x

Officially, would it be an "event" of cachers, unless they didn't find one, in which case it would be a "non-event" of cachers.

Convergence seems to fit well (a little better than confluence perhaps?)

Great suggestions! Love the Confluence.

And the sound a Confluence of Cachers makes? Why a Cacophany of course!

Cacophany: 1.harsh discordance of sound; dissonance: a cacophony of hoots, cackles, and wails.

I've definitely heard, and made, my share of those at various Caches.

No, the sound they make when they find the cache is cachinnation!

cachinnation [ˌkækɪˈneɪʃən]
n
1. raucous laughter
2. (Psychiatry) Inappropriate laughter, sometimes found in schizophrenia

Before "Caching" came along, caches were more known as "Weapons Cache" so how about
" Arms of cachers"

Caches were originally called 'stashes' so a stash of cachers could also work.
