Treasure Collections
Geocaching’s newest feature ‘Treasures’ is now live. Collect the required Treasures to complete a collection. You can collect Treasure by finding and logging caches that meet specific criteria set by HQ. Below are the criteria for the first two collections:
Collection 1: Geocaching origins
You can collect these Treasures by finding and logging Traditional Caches.
Collection 1 has to be completed to unlock Collection 2.
Collection 2: Celebrating 25 years
You can collect these Treasures by finding and logging any type of geocache with a difficulty rating of 1.5 or lower. If you complete the ‘Celebrating 25 years’ collection, you will earn the ‘Celebrating 25 years’ souvenir.
Is Treasure available for Basic members?
Treasure is available to both Premium and Basic members, though some future collections may be Premium-only. The first collections being released are open to all. Premium members can use Advanced search to find caches that fit collection criteria.
Pete & I have found that logging the same cache does not mean you will receive the same Treasure!
