WallygatorAZ Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well I grabbed this Geocoin today and was trying to figure out how to log it in. I don't see anything on the main site about Geocoins. So I just went to the Travel Bug page and typed in the Geocoin number instead. Thats it! It automatically recognized the number as a Geocoin! Its pretty easy. There is just not any easy info on logging in a Geocoin. See Ya, WallygatorAZ Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Welcome to the RASH. I see you just created your account yesterday and already found a Geocoin in a cache - congrats! Some people wait months or years to see one out in the wild . We're hoping to change that, though. In any case - welcome and congrats. Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I started caching on January 1, 2004 and didn't see my first geocoin until April 17, 2006 (2.25 years and 229 caches)! Since then, I have found 115 more caches and 15 coins, but I worked at it. (A couple coin finds were not from caches, but by linking up with local cachers to "trade" travellers before passing them on to other caches.) Quote Link to comment
+geosliders Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 We have been caching for a while but we just started paying attention to the Geocoins - can someone clarify something on etiquette - most people have been telling us - if you find a coin that wants to move - grab it, log it and get it moving where it wants to go - like a TB. Yesterday soemone told us we should only retrieve a coin from a cache if we have another one to replace it with - which is it? They will move more easily and frequently if treated like a TB.

+Kealia Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 If it's activated (like a TB) treat it like a TB - no need to trade for it. If it's still unactivated (you can usually tell by looking for stickers, etc. that give you the activation code) - then trade for it. Typically, a coin for a coin is a fair trade; or some other nice piece of swag. Quote Link to comment

Treat 'em just like a TB and keep 'em moving! Pick 'em up, admire 'em (they really like that) and place 'em in another cache or hand 'em off to another cacher. CF30 Quote Link to comment
WallygatorAZ Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) Well thanks everybody! I spent a couple of days checking out the web site and forums so it wasn't too hard to get caching after I bought my GPSr. Now if I can just figure out how to input coords on the fly.....

Jake - Team A.I. Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well thanks everybody! I spent a couple of days checking out the web site and forums so it wasn't too hard to get caching after I bought my GPSr. Now if I can just figure out how to input coords on the fly..... That will all depend on which unit you own... so you'd probably be better off in the GPS Units and Software forum for that. Quote Link to comment
