Many thanks The first response with these sorts of problems is always, "Have you misread the O for a zero, the Z for a two, the S for a five?" etc etc... MrsB Quote Link to comment
+ivanidea Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have had this problem on some of the coins I have picked up, which have extra digits after the tracking number. Just enter the first group of characters (usually 6). If that still does not work, try contacting the owner or previous finder for advice (assuming the coin is still listed at the cache).

+The Blorenges Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...52-c49b566ff696 this is the coin :D O.K. I can only suggest trying possible variations of the geocoin's tracking number, as suggested in my post#3 above. If you want to email me the number (as it appears to you) I'll have a go at working out what it could be. MrsB Edited August 27, 2008 by The Blorenges Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I've just had a quick look at your profile and I see that you haven't had any dealings with geocoins before You must use the number actually on the coin itself to log it, not that reference number on the geocoin's page (i.e. not TB1TQ40). Go to the geocoin's page, then top right side click on "Found it? Log it!". In the drop-down, select the "Retrieved from..." option. In the box "Travel Bug Tracking #" you must put the number which is on the geocoin . Then add any comments and click "Submit Log Entry". Hope this might help! MrsB Quote Link to comment
