Taking trackables from already found caches

[+Tortoiseshell]

Hi -

 

I have found several caches in my locality in my first weeks as a geocacher. I own two caches close to home.

 

I am already starting a bit of a fondness for finding trackables.

 

My question is: is it acceptable to go to a cache I've already found in order to grab travelbugs and geocoins?

I own two caches close to home. What if a nice geocoin appears in one of my own caches? Can I grab it in order to log it on my 'trackables' list and then move it on to another cache?

 

Or, is it considered bad form to revisit caches?

 

thanks,

Revisiting a cache including your own is perfectly fine. Just log it as a note not a (another) find.

 

Even better if you can assist a bug towards it's goal .

Yes! It is fine to go to your own cache or one you've already found to pick up a TB. Travelbugs can become a game within the game. In fact, you coud have fun moving TB's from one cache to another without ever finding another cache for the first time!

I agree, go ahead and grab coins or TBs from previously found caches, or your own caches. If we see a new coin, we sometimes leave it in the cache, but merely log it as "Discovered" - you still get the icon and Trackable count.
