teamnaruto Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 what do i do if i find a travel bug or a geocoin! Quote Link to comment
+admo1972 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 http://www.geocaching.com/track/ All the info is there. A few things, Don't reveal the tracking number (the number on the tag or coin) here or in any photos. You can log the coin or bug from the link I sent you. If you take it, log you took it, and add a not if you wish. Then move it along. If you like a coin or bug but don't want to take it, you can "discover" it. Which basically meant you've seen it but left it where it is. Quote Link to comment

+thebreits Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 We found a geocoin and sent a message to it's owner. Now we want to put it in a new cache but I don't know how to show that. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

Any ideas? Yep, if you've already logged a Find on the cache you put the coin into, make another log (a NOTE type), say you are dropping off a coin, but DON'T SUBMIT IT YET. At the bottom of teh page. there should be a list of all the geocoins/travelbugs in your possession. Simply cclick the one you put in the cache, then submit. If you drop more than one bug or coin, you can hold down Control (CTRL) while you click several bugs/coins, then submit. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 If you add a "Bug Drop" note to the cache page, in addition to your "Found it" log, delete that note afterwards. The Bug or Coin will stay in the cache and deleting the note will clean up the cache page making the last five logs more useful for "paperless" cachers. Quote Link to comment

Will try that the next time.. Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 You want to put it into a new cache. If the TB or coin is in your inventory, you can select it from the box at the bottom left of the page when you are typing your log. Highlight and click, it's gone Quote Link to comment

I did not know about it either until i saw someone ranting about it in a thread... Quote Link to comment
