Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
Since geocaching uses gps, why not go with constellation.

Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
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.

Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
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?)

Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
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!

Confluence doesn't sound too bad
I came up with....
A 'clutch' of cachers
A 'cluster' of cachers
..... and an obvious 'cache' of cachers.

Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
Before "Caching" came along, caches were more known as "Weapons Cache" so how about
" Arms of cachers"
" Arms of cachers"

Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
Caches were originally called 'stashes' so a stash of cachers could also work.
