This is the response I received from one of our great reviewers: "You can change the coordinates by yourself for up to 528 feet. More than that would take the cache away from the place you've originally intended to bring people to, and in that case we would encourage you to archive the existing cache and create a new one, because it would be a new caching experience. However, also be aware that the way to change coordinates, even if we did it for you, is to post a coordinate change log on the cache page. That log will be sent to anyone who is watching your cache, even if you change it to a member's only cache and the watcher isn't a member. If the person you are trying to avoid has a watch on the cache page, then they will know where the cache is, even if they cannot see the cache page anymore. There is no way to know who is watching your cache. The only way to do what you want to do without the watch list email going out is to archive the cache page and create a new one member's only from the start. I would recommend that you do not mention your suspicions on the cache page. ThunderEggs 1" I had not thought about the watchlist issue, and wouldn't have had she not been so helpful as to bring it up. So given that, my only option is to archive, move it, and post it again as a PM only cache. I'm thinking on what the best course of action (or lack of) would be. Perhaps I should just state on the cache page to please not drop TB's or coins in the cache, but not mention why so as not to cast blame or anger anyone? Just thinking out loud.... Thanks for everyone's input, Shari

I second that!

Wow, these are some incredible coins!! I added the gift card for size reference as my jaw dropped when I saw them; really outstanding Maldar! And the Thank You card was really appreciated..... Sorry my photography skills just can't do these coins justice, but they are really something!

I'm positive it will impact it more if it is more than the 528 feet. With our active reviewers, I'm sure an email will suffice. As long as it doesn't get too close to another cache, they may ok to move and not archive. I'd check in with the reviewer that approved your cache...but our PDX reviewers are all very helpful! Yes, Thundereggs is awesome and has been a lot of help with some of my past questions-I will shoot her an email. And NeverSummer, since you live in this same area shoot me an email if you would like her geocaching name which I finally found out through another local cacher who is having problems with her. It could impact some of your caches too. Mods-I think I just need to email my reviewer so you can close this thread. Thanks!

Thanks! So it sounds from the two of you like it varies from reviewer to reviewer and case to case. Maybe I should email one of the reviewers and ask; I thought that there was a definite distance.

Hi Everyone, I am sure that there are threads about this already, but I did a search and I must not be wording it right or something because nothing that really applies is coming up for me. We are having a problem with a cacher coming and raiding one of our caches. She doesn't log the find, but takes TB's (and coins too I suspect as they keep going missing) and "retrieves" them out of the cache. The nicer coins will probably never be heard from again, although one diabetes coin might have moved. No one has discovered it yet, but it is showing up in a different cache. It's kind of a long story how we discovered what she was doing.... Anyway, she is not a premium member and I was thinking of making the cache PM only and moving it a bit away and changing the coords but I'm not sure how far I can move it without having to archive it and make a new one. Any feedback would be great or a link to an existing thread, and again, I'm sorry if this has already been an issue hashed over. Thank you, Shari of burgessfour Editing to add that I just today discovered her previous visit to the cache when I examined her coin inventory and saw that she had been there on 9/22 as well as on 9/27 where she ran into another cacher (a whole other bizarre story).

My husband brought up a good point; by bidding on these it gives people more incentive to steal coins and travel bugs. Once they see them listed on Ebay and selling they might try it themselves. Or the current seller might do it again.

I wonder who is currently bidding? It would be good to get these circulating again and I sure would be willing to bid, but not if one of us is already doing so. The cheaper these can be retrieved from this thief the better....

I thought I'd gone to Geocoin heaven! Then my hubby walked through the door and saw my little treasures I won't tell you what he said Thank you clupea for removing the tracking numbers for me!

"Entry"!

We got ours today! Thank you Geo.Error for letting us all know about these coins so that we can have fun releasing them

Yes, I found ours too-TB2F940!!!!

(Outgoing coin-TB2BMMH-for RifleMan81 has been activated and placed.) It has made it to it's destination, GC1D8X6, WOOT!!! Another sucessful coin landing! I don't know if Rifleman81 realizes it yet though Many thanks to JerEvie for helping it (greatly) get to it's destination!

email sent!

Yep, I like it! Go ahead with mine too

participating- email sent 9/10 received name-9/15! mission complete-Yes! 9/19 received package-9/18! Thank you for this mission, it was very fun!

Actually, the coins are already activated. Geocachers will only set them "free" on a geocache. When I asked Amy if they had a specific mission she wrote that they don't, but if I wanted to come up with one she would give the coin my mission; I thought that was pretty neat and might make it even more fun for the "launcher"!

Hi All We just got an email from Amy that said "We are sending out a coin to your addy. Thanks so much for the help and interest!" Woo Hoo Can't wait to release it!

I won a Groundspeak Volunteer 2008 geocoin at an auction and asked the owner (a local reviewer) if I could adopt it. They agreed and transfered ownership to me! I'm not sure if this is the same coin as a Groundspeak Lackey coin, though....
