    Past Event Inventory

    in Canada

    Posted

    I've had a geocoin logged into a BC Event Cache for a few months. It's been archived and there are still a number of items in the inventory. I've emailed the event organizer and they say nothing has been left and all TBs/Geocoins left the event.

     

    I guess I've lost a geocoin to a "collector". I've never been to an event (...yet), but when everyone does their TB trades, how do you know you are giving it to an actual cacher and not a muggle? Is there any way we can prevent geocoins from disappearing from an event?

     

    I'm a little disappointed, but I know it happens quite often with traditional caches. Did not expect it to go missing from an event. I still have my fingers crossed that someone just forgot to log it. Hopefully it will turn up soon.

     

    We hosted an event at Christmas and it still has a number of tbs/coins logged into it... We know there are none left here - and we took home the 9 that were left at the end. Most events I've been to have a table where people put their coins and tb's to be discovered, then people typically grab a few they can help along at the end of the event. We are hoping that the coins that are missing were just stuck in someones bag/pocket and forgotten as opposed to stolen from a friendly caching event...

     

    Maybe you will see it again... we had a missing coin TB that went on its first drop, but the cacher had it in their luggage and thought they had lost the luggage.. so about 3 months later it has now been found...

    CANADA SHIPPING

    I know mailing coins from Calgary, AB, Canada I have to do a customs form for any envelope that contains coins... even though it fits the normal mail slot, etc. The post office guy asked what was in and told me that I had to put one on each... I now have the forms at home to put on while getting the envelope ready. I don't think it costs any more then sending a piece of mail that weighs the same to the US or overseas.. not sure... it seemed like maybe it was a pretty new thing on our end... so maybe not all the post offices are yet following the rules... Our forms are not green anymore - they are white and HUGE!
