+Thrak Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) I activated a coin and dropped it into and then grabbed it back out of a cache I own. I thought this would give me a coin icon under my "found" stats but it didn't. Can somebody tell me how you get the icon there for a coin you own? (I plan to drop the coin into somebody else's cache later today and see if it travels or disappears.) Edited November 11, 2005 by Thrak Link to comment
+The Foote Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 You can not find your own coin.... it would be finding your own caches that you have hidden. Link to comment
+Thrak Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 You can not find your own coin.... it would be finding your own caches that you have hidden. So how do folks get the icons for coins they own? Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 You get the icon in your "owned" area and you log someone else's to get the icon in your "found" area. Link to comment
+brian b Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 For the record, you are able to FIND a cache that you have hidden; several people in my area really rack up the numbers by doing this. More power to them, I guess, for getting smilies for maintainence visits Link to comment
+GoBolts! Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) You can not find your own coin.... it would be finding your own caches that you have hidden. GC- allows you to log your own caches...just not your own coins. They also allow you to log cache finds (and get credit) more than once, for the same cache...but TB/coins only once. Like this makes sense...both of these should be the other way around. You should not be allowed to log your own caches or log caches more than once...however comma GC lets you do it...

+Thrak Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 I see. Thanks for the replies. I'm off to go caching and I'll drop the coin in somebody else's cache for another cacher to find. Hopefully they will move it along. Link to comment

I agree you shouldn't log your own normally, but what about a moving cache. You do have to find it. Also for logging a cache twice, again there are caches that have moved or pages that have been reused. There will be exceptions. I managed to get a FTF on the same cache two times. First location was determined to be an illegal location so the owner moved it .5 miles. Team Sand Dollar Link to comment

If you couldn't log a cache more than one, for instance, you couldn't log event caches from an event. But I agree that one shouldn't be allowed to log ones own caches. Link to comment
+GoBolts! Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 If you couldn't log a cache more than one, for instance, you couldn't log event caches from an event. Each event cache has a different GC # They are treated as seperate caches. Link to comment

That sucks for the rest of up...that only log caches once. Link to comment

Each event cache has a different GC # They are treated as seperate caches. Not all events have seperate gc #'s for events. Here in Indiana we usually place between 5-10 event caches and allow others that find them log them thru cache pages. These caches are not permament and do not have their own seperate gc#'s.

+Thrak Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Wow. I can't believe folks logged 55 "finds" for that. I got the answer I needed so I'll go ahead and close this thread. Thanks for the replies. I'll just hope to find coins for the icons. I don't really want to log "finds" that are in someones coin folder. I know the numbers really only matter to me but I'd like to keep them honest. Thanks again for the helpful replies. Link to comment
