However, caching started before Geocaching.com. So would not the number be
from when they got listed on Geocaching.com not when they were placed. So for
the caches that existed before Geocaching.com, did they become a cache when
they were placed and listed elsewhere, or did they become a cache when they
were listed on gc.com? Another complicating factor is letterboxs that existed
prior to Geocaching and where converted to geocaches. Remember the Mohmers?
Their GC606 was placed in 1999 as a letterbox. It is no longer active, but do
we know if there are any other letterboxs still active that were placed before
Clinton turned off Selective Availability?

It is the oldest active cache. Some say There is one older in Colorado, GC19. I
have done that one too. However, the lower number doesn't mean it has an
earlier date. Others mentioned that the date placed can be anything submitted.
I don't know how the early numbers were dished out but it would make sense if
the server autogenerated In order. Therefore, GC19 would be the oldest active.

The cache has been found by over 2000 people and has a gallery of 383 photos,
including mine. All in all, a cool cache to find.

That was interesting, because I was searching on the publish dates available in
PQ and it shows 05/03/2000 as the date hidden on the cache page.
GC1HTTN has no (serious) claim. Date on the published log entry is November 3,
2008. Nice tongue in cheek cache description, though.

I would say no, I think that claim to fame belongs to http://coord.info/GC1HTTN
