+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Would you Discover your own Bug if you saw it unexpectedly in a Cache you found? I know you CAN, but would you? I think I would. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Logging your own bug doesn't give you any sort of stat or icon, so a Discover log is really nothing more than a note. If I came across my bug out in the wild I might pick it up and move it, or post a note that I found it. That's about the limit of excitement I could get out of the experience. Quote Link to comment
+badlands Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 If I found my own bug in the wild, I would do one of three things: 1) Nothing - if it was a recent placement 2) Post a note if it had been there awhile 3) Move it as any other traveler if I actually moved it from that cache.

+trekmiss Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I would either discover or write a note just so I could log the experience, but only if the TB is in a cache away from my local caching area (like if I saw it while on vacation or a road trip). If I had my camera with me, I'd take a photo and include it in the log. It's not about getting stats, it's all about the experience. If I came across it unexpectedly in a local cache, I may or may not discover it or write a note on the TB page. Depends on how long it's been traveling, or how long it has been sitting in the cache, etc. Quote Link to comment
+q22q17 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 As previously mentioned, discovering or grabbing your own TB does not pad your stats. So, to do so would mean you had some other purpose. I did discover one of my TB's in a cache in Utah, unexpectedly. I actually retrieved it, brought it back to California, to continue its journey. It was kind of funny to find one of my own in the wild though. Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'd might even just bring it home for awhile. Quote Link to comment
+Maingray Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Came across couple of mine in the wild.. one was a bug that I wanted to be in the UK when I visited (picked it up in a great cache) and another two I've run across. One I left, one I took to move on *shrug*.. never gave it a second thought. Edited January 8, 2008 by Maingray Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) If I saw one of mine in a Cache where i wasn't expecting it, I would log the Discovery not to pad my numbers, but to add to the bugs record that I had discovered it in the wild. That can't be too common, so I consider it a notable event. With all the new bugs I'm releasing, the odds are getting better that this will happen to me. That was in reply the the "Some other purpose" section of this As previously mentioned, discovering or grabbing your own TB does not pad your stats. So, to do so would mean you had some other purpose. I did discover one of my TB's in a cache in Utah, unexpectedly. I actually retrieved it, brought it back to California, to continue its journey.

But, I Don't think you can pad your numbers with your own bugs and coins. Quote Link to comment
