Seriously though, you need to put something in it so that the next person who finds it will post their experience as finding something that told them not to come back.
I would consider this a bad idea AND I would advise against it.

Re: Geocache on my property. Now what?

I had Geocached at one time, before smart phones and geocaching apps, but I lost interest when it became more mainstream and I learned what I wanted. My primary use of it was to learn how to better use my handheld GPS device better. At one time some Geocaches required you bring a shovel, those were banned. Trespass became an issue and rules were put into place. I believe a proper GEOCACHE now has to have it's ID # inside or on it now and you are supposed to get permission to place it from whoever owns the land. I would attempt to locate the cache itself and then contact the website and request that the cache be disabled and it's maintainer be contacted and told not to place a new one. After that I would register with the geocache website it was placed on and monitor my property with the goal of caching new caches, removing them, and reporting their maintainers. My goal would be to find it, kill it, and make sure that whoever placed it knows that the property is off limits to new caches.
