+Britt & Bill Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi everyone We would like to make something other than a coin or a bug trackable is there a way to do this? Any help would be great. Thanks Britt & Bill Quote Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi everyone We would like to make something other than a coin or a bug trackable is there a way to do this? Any help would be great. Thanks Britt & Bill It depends on exactly how you want it to be tracked. If you want it tracked on geocaching.com, then it has to be with a valid travel bug or geocoin tracking number. There are other sites that make trackable objects, but a lot of cachers don't necessarily want to go register for another site just to log trackable objects. Plus those sites have been known to shut down, leaving trackables and their owners stranded. A third alternative is for you to just attach a note to something and ask people to email you when they pick it up and move it. You can "track" it this way privately, or you could put up a web page that shows the object's travels. I've picked up a few of these privately trackable items, and I don't really like them because I never know what happens to them later. Official bugs are more fun for me. You can attach a TB tag to any type of object you want, though, so unless you're concerned about the expense of a tag, I don't think any of the alternate routes are worth it. Quote Link to comment
+Scare Force One Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 A TB bought thru GC.com will cost about 5 dollar plus tax and shipping (usally about 6 total depending on location). Scare Force One Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just get the TB tags and then place the tracking number clearly on the item you intend to send out. I've seen a few of those. Quote Link to comment
