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.

Not a geocaching question since we are not allow to dig or use pointy objects to make holes but I can't see that that is a problem for Arizonans in the desert areas since I find it virtually impossible to dig a hole in this caliche soil.  I believe it's also known as hardpan.  Just how to you guys dig a hole, my gosh, I just wanted to plant a few cacti before the temps went over 100F one morning.
