Is there a way to get notified for this mission next year? I don't know if that's an option on the forums and the Facebook algorithm is terrible. 

For the Forums in general, I get notifications for new threads. Don't remember how I did that, though.

For the individual Forum threads, you have to have seen the original post and be Following it to get notifications for the individual one.

I will try to remind you next year.

Thank you heaps for asking.      So many new cachers just drop it and forget it.  

 

...or, don't even realize (or don't care) that trackables should me moved on

I missed it too and never even seen it posted on Facebook either. I always want to take part in these missions. They are so much fun. 🎃😢I posted if it was to late to join and no one answered💔back on October 1.

Valarie, the Halloween Mission is announced in the Forum at least a month and a half before the actual holiday. This year, it was announced September 6 and the names were sent out on September 25---as stated in the Forum announcement post. I also posted the link in The Addicted Geocoin Group on September 8. So, October 1 was too late to join.

[What do I do next?]

Start your Log a Cache as you normally would. In the drop down, choose a Found It if you are logging the Cache as well or Write Note if you are just dropping the trackable in the Cache. At the bottom will be a drop down of the trackables you have in your inventory--- both yours (if you have any) and, those to be moved along. Then, choose Drop when you put it in the Cache.   This link may also be helpful... Geocaching > Trackables   Safe and happy Caching to you

[Activation Trackable]

Hi all,

I recently got a seemingly brand new geocoin as a gift at a GC event. I could not find an activation code or tracking code on either side or on the edge of the coin. Can somebody tell me what kind of a geocoin could it be? Is that a trackable item at all? 

 

Some Geocoins have the tracking number on the rim/edge. Have you tried sending a PM to the person who gifted it to you to ask about it? You may also post a photo in this Forum to see if anyone knows what it is.

Well, Ladies and Gents, I had the names all paired up on Thursday. But since the Grinch doesn't come till Christmas, I felt badly leaving jenniferw2001 out. Name pairings are being redone. Emails will go out tomorrow, Sunday 9/25.

 

EDIT TO ADD: By Grinch, I am not referring to our Dear Claire who hosts the Christmas Mission. I just meant I would feel horrible if I left Jennifer out.

[HALLOWEEN MISSION 2022]

Halloween Greetings, I've started working on pairings for this Mission.                                                                   

  I have three requests for everyone:                                                                                                                         

Please make a new post (rather than an edit) when each step is completed                                                   

If you are doing more than one Mission, please use the Mission number assigned                                     

  Please do not post tracking numbers on the Forum as personal info shouldn't be shared                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      HAPPY HAUNTING TO EVERYONE!!!

NO, thank you. Sadly, it would probably be a losing bet if I bet that everyone would follow this request.

My favorite holiday --- HALLOWEEN --- is coming soon and this is the perfect time for me to host another MISSION!!! Nothing too complicated this time. Just send an unactivated 'full size' Geocoin and a card to your Mission Partner. Additional goodies appreciated, but not required!!! As usual, names will be chosen at random, and you may take on more than one Mission if you'd like. If you take on more than one Mission, please use the Mission number provided to help me keep track. You may consider adding a note (online in the Forum) with your favorite types of Coins to help your Partner. Please make a new post in the Forum with updates as the Mission progresses. If you join the Mission, you may have to send a package to an international destination.

[How to tell the age of geocoin]

If the OK coin is the one J&J Team is asking about, by  MtnGoat's formula the OK coin should be from 2005 or 2006. I have one also and here is part of my trackables list...

[How to tell the age of geocoin]

Unless it is on the geocoin, it is not always easy to know. The really old ones have less alpha-numeric characters in the code. If you post the name of the coin and/or a photo (without showing the code) it's possible someone here would know the history of the coin.

[Personal trackables: are they allowed?]

That's fine.     Many of our friends use trackables to keep track of caches their kids found with them.

 - When older, maybe wanting to open an account of their own, they have a record of all caches they found.

Others, once they've activated their trackable, use it as a personal mileage tracker.

Personally, I'd much rather see people using their own trackables to "Visit" all caches found in a day, than hold onto someone else's property for months on end...  

 

I should have specified... I did mean their own trackables. Goldenwattle was asking about using their own trackables in that manner. That's why I didn't specify when I responded.

[Personal trackables: are they allowed?]

That is fine to do. Many people activate a 'special-to-them' trackable to keep track of the caches they've done and to see how many miles they've traveled. Not putting it in caches ensures that it won't go missing, too--- unless you accidentally misplace it. You may also take it to Events and allow people to Discover it.
