Hunting the Hunters: Geocaching sequal

Like early Cro-Magnon man, who planned hunts with knowledge of their prey's habits, I've been searching for high-tech, GPS hide and seek hobbyists using geocaching.com, and then seeking these hidden boxes (hoping to find easy and often visited ones) in which to drop my calling card with a note of explanation:

Not that I haven't used more traditional methods, i.e. sending emails, but that's not generating responses.  Besides, I'm getting first-hand experience.

And, on my second search, I struck out. 

It's not easy, largely due to the fact that geocachers don't want their stashes found and damaged or moved by someone serendipitously stubling upon it. 

I learned a valuable lesson that day: if the cache entry online has the work "nano" in it, the cache is hidden in a film canister sized, or smaller, holder. 

Something that size was hidden underneath the Gateway to the Shore town walking bridge:

I turned over a lot of rocks be for I turned away.

These people must not give up unless they've literally left no stone unturned.

The hunt for the hunters continues...
