Found Geocoin that won't log ...

[+GPS & DJS]

Hello,

 

I'm pretty new at caching, so pardon what may be a dumb question.

 

I found this object in a cache that I assume is a old GeoCoin. The cache didn't list any trackables at the time I found it. This is a Poker Chip with a sticker on it that says:

 

Barefoot

First Cache Find

August 23, 2003

GCGAFC

 

When I enter the tracking number I get an error page on the Geocoin website. What does that mean? Is it not a real Geocoin? Never Activated? It appears to be pretty old so I wanted to get it back on the map and moving again, but I'm not sure what to do at this point. Thanks.

Sorry to say but that ain't no geocoin. GCGAFC is an actual cache that has since been archived since 2004.

Ahhhh ... that explains it. And "Barefoot" logged this on that cache:

 

"August 25, 2003 by Barefoot (3037 found)

My first find!

Took a prayer pin and left a fire department patch.

Thanks!"

 

I guess he made this to mark his first find. Thanks for the help.

I would say this is a Signature item...and when he found the cache he put the waypoint on the item...if I'm not mistaken you can keep it?

 

Signature items can range from a poker chip to a bussiness card type that are made by cachers to put into caches to say they found it....

It actually wasn't in the cache "GCGAFC" which is in Conn., it was in a cache in Ocala, Florida, which according to the log has never been visited by Barefoot. Wierd.

It just means someone used it as a trade item and it was moved along in spite of not having a tracking #.
