    I think that's an awesome idea, but wouldn't the financial reward convert the finder into a professional geocacher thereby knocking them out of a chance to compete when geocaching becomes an Olympic sport?  ;-)

    Professionals have been competing in the Olympics since 1992.  The old amateur rules are long gone.
