  1. Sweet. Just saw another tag added to the total for NC. I wonder where in NC it’s going to be hidden. Tried looking back to see if it was already hidden but I couldn’t see a description for it.
  2. I also have noticed an increase in caches planted in my neck of the woods (NC). So far only 1 tag in NC (mine) and was found sane day it was officially published. I have also seen an increase in finds also on my caches. I went to check my small ammo can after a few finds to make sure there was enough swag in it. Good thing I did as I found a Capri Sun drink and rocks inside the cache. Threw out all the junk and replaced it with more swag.
  3. Maybe the hider didn’t realize he hid both tags by mistake. And the finder is trying to claim both. But the finder claimed the unpublished tag first vs the published tag. I read someone found 2 tags at a hiding spot and was trying to get one of the tags back to the hider. I didn’t know they were magnetic, so they could have easily possibly stuck together?
  4. I saw that photo. Cool hiding spot. Not sure if I could hide one like that as I am not sure how I would feel if someone got hurt looking for it. I know the finder accept sall responsiblity for safety. BTW. I didn’t realize the tags were magnetic until I read some of the descriptions. Lol.
  5. I wonder if the claimed, but not published was due to a muggle seeing the hider placing the tag, finding it and claiming it before it got officially published. I wondered how you could tell if someone tried to claim 2 tags even though it says 1 per household/family. I guess members of the sane family could claim 2 tags if they used a different address to claim each tag, although I wouldn’t post that I and my sibling found it. I saw a statistic where it said 1 tag was missing. I guess that is the unclaimed tag?
  6. Maybe that means the hider checked and the tag was found, but not yet logged as found on the website by the finder?
  7. Looks like there might be around 400 or so tags for this game. The tag Statistics it says 260 to hide and 31 claimed and 8 available and 91 queued for publication
  8. Nice job! Hope your second tag has as much success!
  9. Sweet. Good luck Bobz42. Let us know if/when it gets found!
  10. I have been watching the game every so often. Pretty cool to see tags being published and folks finding them. I can’t believe how far some folks are driving to find a tag.
  11. I noticed the same thing when I looked at previous games. I wonder if that means finders didn’t log it as found, but they did use the code on the tag to get the real geocoin. Or if they did log as found but didn’t pay the shipping for the real geocoin. The tag is pretty nice by themselves. I also noticed some tags were found after the event was over and after the redemption deadline. So I guess people are leaving them out in the wild even after the game is over.
  12. Looking at some of the previous games it looks like there could be different styles of the same coin. One of the rules says only 1 coin per household, so if you are a hider I assume the coin that comes with your pack counts as your household coin. Although to me it would it would be cool to find a different style of the coin. Good luck Max on some one finding your tags! Please us know when someone does find them.
  13. Yes. If there are no hiders in your area then there will be no tags to find. From the FAQ notes on the website, I believe hiders will get to see a map of all the tags hidden (not sure of just your area or all tags hidden for this game) hence you can’t be a hider and finder as you will have an unfair advantage. Hopefully someone with more experience with this game can chime in. Otherwise we will see what unfolds in a couple of days when the game starts.
  14. From my limited understanding (this will be my first time participating) the 2 tags you hide will eventually be published (the coordinates and possibly pictures to the tags you submitted) will be released via the snag the tag (STT) website. People, who would like to find a tag, have signed up on the STT website and set-up a notification to be alerted when tags (that are hidden in their area) are published. Then it is a race to find the tag. Similar I guess to an FTF race for a geocache. The person who finds the tag first, removes the tag and logs it as found on the STT website so other people don’t go looking for that tag anymore. The guidelines on the website (for hiders) say not to place it in a geocache.
