Everything you want to know about trackables on this site.

 

There really is no real way to "entice" another to your bidding. 

All of the "other" tracking options never really took off, since most were in addition to this one (attachments mostly).

The closest thing currently even sort of uses this site for it's spiel (saying they're not the same as Geocoins or Travel Bugs), and most folks swap them as swag rather than go to their site to "track" them.  I put them in tiny caches.

 

 

Thank you for the link and info.

Interesting as my google searches, up until now, I have not seen any results which reveal an independent item tracking application exists.

I forgot to ask, is there a mechanism to track an item which was not purchased via geochaching.com? Has anyone created an independent companion tracking application? (if not, maybe I should create one)

Thus my next question would have to be:

What would make following the request attached to an item, found within a cache, enticing and attractive enough to encourage you to assist?

Thank you very much

Greetings,

I am visiting PA (USA) from Canada.  I would like to leave something in a cache (in PA) which I would like to be able to track the progress of toward Canada.  Ideally, I would find a way to attach a message to the item which says: "Please help this token get back to "destination address or cache name". 
It this idea already a thing?  One idea I have to to make the item a physical key which will open a special locked cache at another location.

Looking forward to reading replies from long term Geo Cache Gurus.

Thank you,
