wandat24 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 On the TB log page there is an option "discovered it". What is this log entry used for? Thanks jangor I'm pretty sure it means you've found it, but not where it's suppose to be. Say it is suppose to be in X cache, but you found it in Y cache, you'd use the discovered it..... but again I'm not real sure Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Discovered it means you found the TB but didn't move it. It will remain in the cache or more likely in the hands of the person who has it instead of moving into your inventory. Quote Link to comment
+5¢ Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 The discovered it log is for travel bugs, coins that are found at events that a lot of people will log, but they do not move it. The discovered log does not send emails to the owners and does not cause the owner of the event to get all the dropping travel bug logs. It is a nusaince reducing type log. Here is a link to a real long thread that explains it better if you care to read............ http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=115232 Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Somebody 'discovered' my bug but I think they picked it up and moved it. I'll have to see if it shows up in another cache. Quote Link to comment
bogleman Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 My discovered TB log. I think someone picked it up and did not log that they found & moved it along. I used the discovered log when I logged that I found it. The TB was listed as being in a cache over 100 miles from where I found it. Did my civic duty and put it back on track. Quote Link to comment

It's an unintended consequence of this new feature. It doesn't really solve the problems newbies have when they try to figure out what to do with a Travel Bug. I've used the "Discover it" to confirm TB's existence in caches so far. Even though e-mails don't get sent to the owner, he or she can trace its history in case something happens.
