Collective noun for a group of cachers
After attending the OzMega in Albury and meeting lots of interstate cachers (but very few NSW cachers - did any actually attend), it got me thinking, is there a collective noun for a group of cachers. I would like to say a swarm because at some of the Albury cachers there were just lines of cachers waiting to sign logs.

I ran into and camped with plenty of NSW cachers during the event. There were some 80 teams from NSW at the event.rinsemesocks wrote:After attending the OzMega in Albury and meeting lots of interstate cachers (but very few NSW cachers - did any actually attend), it got me thinking, is there a collective noun for a group of cachers.

A cache of geocachers
Others?
A search of cachers
A multi of cachers
A smiley of cachers

I like A latitude of geocachers.
A couple of other ideas: an ammo can of cachers or a lunchbox of cachers

Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
I always felt it should be 'a muggle of cachers' - Given those frequent incidences when two cachers arrive at the same cache and then both start fiddling around waiting for 'that darned muggle' to leave before they search..

Re: Collective noun for a group of cachers
Surely a confluence of cachers would be the most suitable one?

I've always called them a gaggle.

Confluence is clever, Multi I like too (and an Eclipse has a ring to it, but against the T&Cs...)CraigRat wrote:I like Confluence
