OK. I guess I just didn't do enough research. Thanks for doing it for me. Its pretty clear they have all gone missing. Two logged as not being in the caches where they still show in the inventory, and the third in the hands of a cacher who seems to have gone missing himself. Don't seem to have much luck with travel bugs. The 4 I have started lasted 21, 14, 9 and 3 months. Wonder what the average is. I have been watching some for many years. I guess we can consider this a closed topic. Thanks again, Plushcat

It makes no difference whether they are travel bugs or geocoins. Actions taken on travellers precipitate the same emails. Unfortunately, it looks like 2 of them can be marked as "missing". Plushcat's FTF Prize (PROXY) http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=2073689 Last action was back in 2013. Check the logs on the cache page to see if anyone has noted that there are no trackables in the cache after the coin was dropped. Space Cacher Geocoin http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=3074968 Log of 01/04/2014, which was after that coin was dropped in the cache: The last one doesn't look to have fared any better. It's "in the hands" of a cacher who doesn't seem to be caching any more. Plushcat's FTF Frog Geocoin http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=3162555 Sorry about your trackables fates. B.

Thanks for your prompt answer. Among the 3 travel bugs, actually I think they are geocoins if that makes any difference, I can see 10 placed or retrieveds. I never got an e-mail about any of them. (I think I once used to, but I am not sure. If so it wasn't in the last year or so.) I do regulary get things from no.reply@geocaching.com for things on my watchlist and a notification of your post here. I haven't a clue what to do next. Any other things you can think of? Cheers, Plushcat

I own 3 travel bugs and want to watch them. I can't find a way to get them on my watchlist. I did find a forum answer that said I would automaticly recieve an email anytime they were logged, but I never have. What am I missing? Suggestions?

Just got curious. Seems to be an al 2001 thread. Well it is 2010 now. I am 77 and am up to about 225 found.

Don't know where to say this...but being still on dial up it now takes me almost 5 minutes to get to the "seek a Cache" click. I wait while all sorts of things I don't want download first. Cheers, Plushcat
