I dont know, we found 3 buried caches in the same day up in the Phoenix area. When your digging in a city park or behind a building it is possible because the land manager waters it so often. All you have to do is come at night and dig a hole, 'don't worry everyone does it' appears to be the standard response though. Sadly when I tried to ask one of the cache owners about this I was basically told to remain in Tucson and not to bother there caches anymore.
