+rk91279 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I was trying to log a TB i picked up and ran into a snag. It seems there are 2 different numbers attached to the bug, one that is printed on the bug and one on the web page that says to use it in reference to this bug. I am confused on this matter,,please help me keep this bug moving. Quote Link to comment

+Miragee Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You use the number that is on the bug. That is the "secret" number you use to log the fact that you have the TB in your possession. You should not reveal that number in your logs or in a picture you post of the TB. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Good advice, which I'm now moving over to the Travel Bug Forum. Quote Link to comment
+Super_Nate Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The reference number is a shared number that is open to anybody. If you want to reference a travel bug to a friend, you would send him/her the reference number....but if you are logging the travel bug, then you would use the six digit tracking number on the tag or the coin.

+Pablo Mac Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 ...and make sure not to violate a Travel Bug owner's rules, either: I wanted to leave a really cool geocoin in my own cache for a finder to be pleasantly surprised by, so I logged a "Discovered It" log and got it promptly deleted.

I don't really get the point of "discovering" a coin/TB. Seems like a waste of time and resources. I also don't get why someone would delete the log for it. (Although maybe if you dont understand the log type in the first place, like me, then maybe it makes more sense.) Quote Link to comment

Oh let's not get started with that topic...We could spark a fire of discussion by going there! Edited May 15, 2007 by Super_Nate Quote Link to comment
