Thank you for all the replies. Yes they were activated coins/bugs s/he was leaving. I'll just ignore it and hope it doesn't discourage local cachers from making caches and having them depleted.

I'm still very new to geocaching (only 40 finds), however my first step when starting was to read the intro to geocaching guides. They clearly state that travelbugs and (activated) geocoins are not trade items. I've recently noticed a very active cacher in my area (many many finds, and lots of FTFs, been to many events, etc) has a habit of logging in his visits that s/he takes an item from the cache and leaves a TB or geocoin. Is this something I should just try and ignore (as the many ppl who have cached with this person have)? It just...irks me a little. It's one thing if someone doesn't trade equal value, but to take something and leave nothing in trade just hurts the sport imo. Any suggestions?

oh I absolutely love this! Maybe a treat for my first geocoin purchase...hmmm.... I agree with CF30. I'd love to see a no enamel one in Antique copper, though I adore the antique silver. Great job!

Wow. From the perspective of someone looking for a new handheld GPS for cachin, this really has been a great thread.. I'm personally just looking to get into this game and have been researching like crazy. I've read Amazon, I've read the GPS reviews here, I've been to a number of other sites for reviews as well, including geocacher-u.com (that someone suggested in another thread). I've read a lot of posts in this forum too. Thank you all for the informative posts. I could do without the bickering, but the info and honest opinions and suggestions are fantastic. Again, thank you.
