+Delta68 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Reporting TB18ZC1 Katie the Camel to have been successfully rescued from GC12B74 Operation in the Jungle TUK,TUK Stage two of this three stage multi appears to have gone awol meaning that stage three was also unreachable. Luckily, we managed to find the final with just the partial coordinates from the first stage. I don't know why it hadn't been visited for so long as it's a nice enough location etc...

+Dallan72 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 It never made it to JAZ666's bookmark, but I today rescued TBC83A Bender after over 18 months stuck in GCHQQW Windy Mellor. The TB was left by the last visitors to the cache in May 2006, shortly before it was archived but left in place. Interestingly, I had made enquiries with a reviewer at the time the cache was about to be archived about what would happen to the TB and was told "This cache is on my bookmark list with a note to request a TB rescue if not collected by the 21st of June, as I'm aware of several who had commented about this cache." Unfortunately, but perhaps not surprisingly given the amount of other things reviewers have to do, the rescue never got requested that I'm aware of. Would it not, though, make sense for reviewers to routinely get caches added to Jaz666's bookmark if they archive them whilst containing trackables and appear to be still in place?? That way others are made aware and can mount similar TB rescues and the TBs don't get abandoned along with the caches. Looking at other caches owned by the same team as Windy Mellor, several of which were archived at the same time in 2006, one contained two TBs at the time of being archived and also appears to be still in place.

+Jaz666 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 I do try to keep an eye out for trackables in archived caches as I spot them in gsak, though it is a bit tricky. Thanks to everyone who'd done their bit, I'll try and get the list updated soon. Quote Link to comment
+Von-Horst Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Just a quick note to report that 'little g' TB has been liberated from GCWVV2 'Metal' after seven months in residence. Happy new year! Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 After a visit by myself and JollyJax yesterday this cache can now be taken off the list. The TB has been rescued! Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Perhaps I'm missing something here... What's the point in a cacher re-visiting a previously found cache to move a TB on if the TB owner isn't even asking it to be moved? Quote Link to comment
+jerryo Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Perhaps I'm missing something here... What's the point in a cacher re-visiting a previously found cache to move a TB on if the TB owner isn't even asking it to be moved? Most people want their TBs to move, hence the "T" How do you know that they haven't asked, though? Isn't it better to assume that they should be moved? Quote Link to comment
+fatblokecaver Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Just a quick question - how long does a TB have to be stationary to instigate a rescue? My daughters TB has been stuck since Oct 07, can we ask for a rescue? It is trying to make it to the USA but seems to be loitering around the West Country. Her elder brother's head is soooo big it won't fit in the house anymore since it has been moving around USA. And mine (also trying to jump the 'pond) is in Scotland. FBC Quote Link to comment
+La Fifi Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I think that the list is produced based on hitchhikers who haven't moved in over 5 months. Quote Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yes it's currently set at five months. It's a bit of an arbitrary number, but 6 months was producing too many results, and 4 months too few fbc: I've added your daughters TB to the list. Quote Link to comment
The Washers UK Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi there I have 4 coins in different caches that have been there for a while could you please put them on the list ? they are in the following caches. GCWN8A GCHH2C GC11EXW GCKHRR Many thanks in advance. And I would like to say a big thank you to Leeds Tyke for going on a special journey to pick up my California coin Quote Link to comment

+Alibags Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ... if we could only introduce a bookmark list of TBs and coins that had been in the hands of a cacher for months and months and have automatic nags going to them.... Quote Link to comment

+Team XL5 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Not much help I know, but sorry to report a failure to rescue this coin from Bongard Christmas Puzzles. The problem being that I can no longer reach the cache. I'm short enough to start off with, but could get to the cache when I did a while back. Either I've shrunk or the cache has somehow moved deeper down in its hiding place. Sorry. Quote Link to comment
+jerryo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Successfully rescued TBVQH6 (ICM's ARK-MO Geocoin) from Nursery Time (GC87FA) but I have to report that 4 TBs are probably MIA in GCKQ7E, Jake The Snake: 1 Neville in the Field of Human Conflict 2 Stonehenge TB 3 TB - Rillenschiene - no loss really! 4 Stripey Tigger - has been reincarnated by the TB's owners.

+Jaz666 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 I've spent the day regenerating the list. Thanks to the latest version of gsak, I've found even more caches with TBs that haven't been visited in 5 months or more - the list currently stands at 191. Gsak doesn't make the process of checking each cache listing any quicker though Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Oi! Why is my cache not on this list? I think it's disgraceful! I demand to be singled out for being a carp cache owner and made a public example of!!! Quote Link to comment

+Thornproof Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 We've come to this thread rather late but would like to see the list of static TBs kept by jaz666. One of our own TBs "Sid the Suffolk" has been stuck up a mountain in Sweden for considerably more than 3 months and we'd like to see if it's on the list. Could someone point us in the right direction to view said list please? Ta Muchly Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The link is in one of Jaz's taglines, but I've added it HERE too. I think it only covers TBs within UK though. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+ClareLouise Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Can I ask that my first ever TB, Sebastian the Snake goes on the rescue list please? He's been stuck in Reigate Mini Rumble since March now, and I'd love to see him moving again... Quote Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 The Mega might be over, but it's going to take me a while to tie up all the loose ends from the event (especially with Robin on a month's holiday). I'll consider reactivating the project as soon as I can. Jamie. Quote Link to comment
