    A kind of worldwide GPS treasure hunt. A great way to get kids outdoors, adds a bit of interest to a walk.

    Looks like click-bait, or chumbox, material to me.

    Relatively attractive girl, lost item found, returned on Father’s Day.

    The hands holding the ‘found Rolex’ look mannish as well.

    As for Geocatching - without spending too much time on the site, it seems like a Pokemon style of game, where you have to find things at specific locations.

    If it is, this story is a good way to drive traffic to your site and promote your business.

    “Without geocaching, the watch would still be ticking away under a tree”

    That would be some power reserve...

    We've geocached a number of times - as said above it gives purpose and a bit of fun to a long walk with kids. Caches can be anything from film-cannister sized or smaller with just a log-book to record you've discovered it if you want to; up to large ammo box size and bigger. They're usually camouflaged or hidden in some way so that you wouldn't know they're there unless you're looking for them specifically. The larger ones usually have 'treasures' left by previous visitors and you're meant to leave a little something yourself - these are the ones my daughter likes as it's often kids toys, etc. You hunt them down via gps coordinates and usually a vague description or clue to the location.

    Modern equivalent of finding porn mags in bushes.

    Also, is it even real? It might be the angle, but shouldn't it have Swiss at the bottom of the dial, and the triangle at twelve looks slightly too far right.

    Nice story if true

    Feet first with a chapter ring. I am not an expert but that’s a new one on me?

    I would have thrown it back and looked for a better one

    Would be a good sport, scattering battered fake Rolex around the countryside.

    It's been a long time since I've seen a porn mag in the bushes (or anywhere for that matter) but it was a common sight on the alleyway next to my school. Another thing the internet has ruined ;)

    scratch that, my mistake.

    A group of us were cycling down a country road near Carlisle last summer and the rain came on. Stopped to put on waterproofs and in the bushes found a big pile of porn mags. First hedge grumble I’ve seen in a long time.

    An ex used to be at Kew Gardens, working with the specimens in the Herbarium. When some researchers were made redundant in the 80's, in retaliation they hid pages from hardcore gay porn mags amongst the 7m pressed plant samples. They're still turning up every now and again...

    I couldn't agree more.

    I still spy the occasional catalogue on the side of the road, and my inner teenage heart skips a beat, but alas, no more Lovebirds to be had. Shame really.

    I know of a secretary from a law firm who was made redundant and did a similar thing with her bosses files ...

    Ahh the good old 80’s, I have memories of finding a damp porn mags in the bushes and trying to dry them out without being caught!

    One day myself and two mates found a carrier bag in a lane behind a news agent, it was rammed with brand new porn mags, think it’s the closest feeling I’ve had to winning the lottery...

    The first one I found was a copy of Health and Efficiency in a 1970's bush. It was as erotic as a damp weekend in Bradford.
