I certainly always find treasure when I visit a site (and I visited over 650 last year!) ... that treasure is the site itself. Add the site to the experience of getting there and the views you so often get treated to, then there's your treasure.
The excitement is going to catalog a site that was last looked at seriously 150 years ago. Wil it still be there? Will it be good or bad? And what will I see from the location .. what made these people build it *there*?
I may be wrong, but I reckon the majority of folks who participate in the Geocaching do not even consider these as being valid questions. It's like train spotting - I don't care who's on the train and what they're doing as long as I've got its number ticked off in my little book.
If it doesn't damage the terrain - that's good. If it gets kids out - that's good. If it isn't Letterboxing then that's definitely good. But personally, I need reward of the site itself to go there and no a box of 'stuff'.
