+Team CeDo Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 What is the biggest travel bug you've ever seen other than a vehicle with a sticker on the window? Recently at an event I ran across a bowling ball with a chain and an ankle bracelet. Very Cool!! Quote
+KoosKoos Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Saw the hood of a VW bug with a tag attached. Quote
+MountainRacer Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I'm not sure this one can be beaten; it's a four-foot-tall cement mile monument, and it weighs more than 210 pounds! Maybe a very large person wearing one of those trackable t-shirts could outdo the monument, but I've never seen a larger ordinary object made trackable. Quote
Keystone Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the Travel Bug forum. Quote
+trainlove Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I was going to mention the benchmark pylon since I've logged it, but you beat me to it. Quote
+Danbike_Lizbike Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Go look for the "Red Bug Travel Bug". It's our New Beetle convertible. <tracking number removed by moderator - please do not post the secret tracking number in public places or or online photos.

Eeyore Tulip Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 some people refer to me as large i'm just big boned people can be so insensitive at times eeyore tulip Quote
+rstefano52 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) I saw a beer keg at a PA event but I see that there are bigger items listed. Edited December 15, 2008 by rstefano52 Quote
+anakerose Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) I have a Red Bug TB with that name, but the actual Bug is of the miniature variety. My car is a TB, but no one has ever logged a discovery on it. Edited December 15, 2008 by anakerose Quote
+sweetlife Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Big Bugs we have seen over the years: Our favorite had to be Black Beauty a 12lb bowling ball. Others we have had are Tommy the Tire, our own 80lb 4ft tall Signal the TB (TBZ28J). Brian and Hydee of Groundspeak actually wanted to hijack him back to the lillypad a couple of years ago at MWGB Have seen Cindy the Cinderblock, the big flipflop, WGA's big yellow jeep, Max B's Police Car. There are others just cant remember them all Barry and Valarie of sweetlife Edited December 16, 2008 by sweetlife Quote
+team moxiepup Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 We have a large TB, "Event Crashing Coyote" He is about 5 ft. tall, and his goal is to travel to events and have his picture taken with Geocachers. People seem to be enjoying him. He has even had a T-shirt and Mardi Gras beads added to his attire. Other large TB's we have seen include "The Beater" - an old acoustic guitar, and "Duh Big Boy", a bowling ball. Quote
+deb3day Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 At an event a few months ago I saw two different bugs that were walking sticks. Those were the biggest I'd ever seen, but seeing some here makes me realize they were small in comparison! Quote
+climber1979 Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 The biggest one I have found was a peace pipe replica, but it was in an LPC. Didn't fit real well.... Quote
+Tschakko Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 This one is the largest I have ever found: het kistje The kid does not originally belong to the TB though Quote
+Team B.L.T. Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I was out caching the other day and I found the Bowling Pin Quote
+mizdeeds Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 How about a 42-pound cast iron pot full of cement....er, gold? Surprisingly, it does get moved around quite a bit! Pot Of ........ Gold? Quote
+DustyWalker Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I saw a cinder block with tag attached a few years ago. Quote
+Choc-O Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) My daughter doesn't come with it... The TB is not mine: Link Edited January 8, 2009 by Choc-O Quote
+dnnsgps Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 At a Geo Christmas Party I saw a 4 foot wooden Fork. It was looking for it's mate a wooden Spoon. Quote
+tmwed4 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 In the World's Largest TB Hotel (GC1R6A7) in Tennessee, we found some BIG ones. There was a bass drum, a Little Tikes plastic car, a pool fun noodle, and a car bumper. And LOTS more room for other big ones if anybody needs to drop one off. Quote
+litlitfamily Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) We found a boot. I think it was a ladies size 7. That one was carried around for a while until we could find a cache big enough or empty enough. Edited January 1, 2011 by litlitfamily Quote
+squirtchy Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 My one doesn't compare to some of the others i've seen on here, but i once got a TB which, when you log it, you MUST add something to it, ie, a key ring or something, problem then being, that you can only hide it in large caches Quote
+squirtchy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 But surly, the bigger they are, the harder they would be to place in a cache, or am I missing something here? Quote
+The Blorenges Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 My one doesn't compare to some of the others i've seen on here, but i once got a TB which, when you log it, you MUST add something to it, ie, a key ring or something, problem then being, that you can only hide it in large caches We had this one a few days ago: Colorado keyring TB My very good friend Eeyore Tulip (see post #7) is still travelling from UK cacher to cacher. I'd love him to get across to the States but so far no one has offered him a ticket. MrsB Quote
mtbikernate Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 One of mine, Aldo. He's not super heavy (wood frame and newspaper stuffing), but he's about 6ft tall, and his head is hollow so I can fit all manner of lights and audio inside it for events. Quote
+Eartha Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 The ones that come to mind are Tommy the Tire, Cindy the Cinderblock, Snoogans' refrigerator door, the pay phone, the cement post, and the geocoin made out of a manhole cover, to name a few. Mostly you'll see the larger ones go to events, but rarely to a cache and when they do go to a cache, they are left nearby and not in it, which might bring unwanted attention to the cache location.

+unicornivi Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) So far we've just found a baseball bat 0.0 Edit: Shoot just realized I googled this for fun and replied without thinking. Sorry for necroing it please delete my post I have no clue how to delete it. Again I apologize. Edited March 18, 2014 by unicornivi Quote
+fuzziebear3 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 To Eartha's list, I will add that I have seen A car bumper A Wagon Wheel A park bench A bass drum A prostetic leg A radio controlled plane Quote
+J Grouchy Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Not the largest I've seen, but definitely the heaviest. http://coord.info/TB3F1JB Yeah...that's a solid steel ball. Quote
+Shop99er Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Cindy, Gigantor, the Manhole, a 4-cylinder block that we found in TTUMS' car one day, and a Signal that I sorta inherited..... Quote
+Moosiegirl Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I haven't seen one bigger than ours ... https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=62913b88-d2d2-4d2b-a193-37d9fdb78df2 PS I got stuck with that VW Bug hood once. Took us forever to find a place to get rid of it where it might last more than a day. NO ONE would take it off my hands. [] Edited June 12, 2016 by Moosiegirl Quote
+Tassie_Boy Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Don't know if it ever happened but there was a bloke here a couple of years ago who was trying to turn his cargo ship into a TB. Quote
+cerberus1 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Don't know if it ever happened but there was a bloke here a couple of years ago who was trying to turn his cargo ship into a TB. This is it. Nada yet. Quote
SillySailor Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I've seen a car with a sticker TB569WN and also a woman with a trackable tattoo TB72Z29. The largest one I've seen that is released for other geocachers to move is a four foot high teddy bear TB6BBX5 "Massive Pink Teddy". https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TB6BBX5 Quote
+Manville Possum Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Largest trackable, and not attached to something I have is the Bigfoot geocoin sold by Groundspeak. Quote
