Almaden Resident | September 15, 2005 - Cache Crop: Geocaching is high-tech treasure hunting:
Historically, treasure hunting has meant searching for lost fortunes that include diamonds and rubies or Spanish doubloons and gold. Legends have them buried in such exotic places as sunken ships or isolated caves. Today, a new form of treasure hunting has people searching cities, parks and wilderness areas for pencils, bumper stickers and rubber duckies.
