    Sorry - another question too before they go out...will there be a trade list so that I can trade one of my versions for the other versions? Raason for asking is that because I am in Hawaii, if the trade can be done at the factory level then helps save on shipping. If any other version is willing to trade, please do the trade before the coins are shipped out. Any versions willing to trade will be fine with me, coin for a coin.

    Aloha -

     

    I do not have this coin but I will hopefully be getting the Hawaii version from a fellow geocacher I know. I am also having an event with the other coins being made for 11/12/13, 12/11/13, 12/13/13 which should be available soon as they are being shipped this week. Anyone willing to trade coins? The artwork on the coins I will be getting is listed here: Multi-event 11-12-13 / 12-11-13 & 13-12-13 / 12-13-13My link

     

    Would love to do any interested trades! Will post a picture of the coin when I get them

    HELP - Kidnapped Travel Bug

    We've had the same problem. Our TB Alan Gator (TB5QVMG) was picked up by the very first person on 6-9-13 by okitoohio. That person still has it in their possession and has not moved it along. He said "cute TB" and that was all we've heard from him. I've sent 3 emails attempting to contact him, no response. Very frustrating. Someone on a Facebook geocaching page said I could use the number on the dog tag and send out a new one. But, this dog tag was a tech tag, so all of that is lost. Any suggestions for getting this guy to give it up?

    Signed, JamesЯUs with a backwards "R" which doesn't seem to work well for the forum pages (so we had to create a second account with a forward R in order to participate in the forums).

     

    If you go to the trackable page, as long as you are logged in as the owner of the trackable, the trackable number should appear at the bottom of the right hand section "trackable options". Since the person who took it last logged a cache on the same day as this was taken and was last logged into geocaching.com on the same day this was taken, then you can assume a few things. One, they lost interest and forgot the trackable and it is sitting in a drawer or bag somewhere, or two they are secretly keeping it cause they loved it so much they decided to leave all morals behind and steal it, or three, they got busy and geocaching took a back burner for the past few months, or four, they died or became incapacitated and no one knows what to do about the little cute alligator sitting on the desk.

     

    I have moved lots of trackables and also am helping make proxies to move those that have gotten lost or otherwise aren't moving along to be resurrected. You can wait it out a little more, you can resend another one out (getting your trackable number as I stated above) or mark it as missing and see if the person responds to that.

     

    Not much more you can do, but the trackable number is yours and you can access it! :) I hope I helped.

    I think you are offering a great service. I have just had four tags created for 4 coins that have disappeared. Since they have gone missing all over North America, I love the idea of releasing them in Hawaii. If I send them to you, would you be willing to release them for me ?

    Thank You

    Can the TBs spend an afternoon at Waikiki? :P

     

    I'm sure they would luv it !

     

    Yes just send me a pm or email me with the details and I can release them. As far as waikiki, I can attach a tag to go there, but that is on a different island (Oahu) and I am on the Big island (Hawaii) so it will have to catch a small plane ride with someone to get to Waikiki. :)

    4B Ohana, what a great offer you are giving! I would love to have a few of my long lost geocoins resurrected, especially from Hawaii! I will need a little while to get the details together, but I plan to contact you within a couple of weeks, hoping that you will still be able to help with resurrecting the most meaningful geocoin travellers.

     

    Will help as long as anyone wants the help. Just fun for me to see the different ones that come my way.

    I decided that, rather than trying ideas about marking dead TBs listed in caches “Missing” (it's a popular suggestion around here), I would get them all revived, as many as possible. To add to the game rather than removing things. I thought I'd show people how it's done. <_<

     

    So I found a very dead TB, wrote to the owner, and offered to replace the item. So the revived TB could be placed into the same cache, and continue from there. I got no reply. :rolleyes:

     

    But I kind of expected that -- it's a TB unlikely to ever return, everything is wrong with that one. I haven't given up. I'll try my idea on more of those. :anicute:

     

    I have been trying some of that as well with ones that go missing from my caches. There are a few that I have sent out that way. If you have anyone that wants a proxy made, just have them contact me thru the forums or via my geocaching page.

    Bummed...my TBs keep going missing

    I feel your pain. I have gotten frustrated over this too as I release TBs, but I have decided that I am sending out good proxies for my coins and for TBs I take pictures before they leave so that if they do get taken, I can send out a proxy again. If you want help with proxies, I am doing them for free:

    Placing them out again as proxies helps me just feel better about the fact that they go missing. I even feel bad if ones I don't own go missing from my caches and I try to track them down, but ultimately the most I can do is to send it out again as a proxy if they want me to. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, but everywhere I go I try to make sure that geocachers I talk to have knowledge of how to track, log and drop TBs if they are going to take them.

    [size="3"I do have one special coin that I would like a proxy made, if I can find its code. I will contact you if/when I find it. And thanks for offering your services to make these proxies. I also wanted to add that your proxies look amazing and I wish I were in Hawaii! B):DB) [/size]

     

    If you have activated any tb or proxy and its under your name you can find your code on the TB page one the right side. It will only show on the page if you are the owner and you are logged in.
