+Sam&Ziggy Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hope I' m not out of line, but have to ask this. Just obtained 2 of the Honu coins. Got them for my wife because of her love for sea turtles. May send one out, but I was thinking of one as part of a necklace. Question is this: I have seen the decals for vehicles and shirts for toddlers that are trackable. Can the same be done for a geocoin or, for that matter, a TB dogtag? For example, if one comes across other cachers, can they claim these type of items as "found" and log them? How exactly should this be done if the item does not change hands? Quote Link to comment
+GeocoinGuy Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Yes, absolutely - You should get ahold of OROB0RUS and look into his 'wire wrapping', which would serve you well. As long as you activate your coins, they are 'discoverable' at your discretion. ~J Quote Link to comment
+Sam&Ziggy Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks for the quick answer, but I still need to know how they are logged in when they are not actually in another's possession. Quote Link to comment
+Eagle618 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks for the quick answer, but I still need to know how they are logged in when they are not actually in another's possession. Log them as keeping or exactly what you want . I have my own coin it's track able if I put it in a cache w/o instructions it's yours to do what you want with it. Also, if you but one from me it's also yours to do with what ever you want keep it, let it go, or give it away. does that help? Quote Link to comment
+Smort78 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks for the quick answer, but I still need to know how they are logged in when they are not actually in another's possession. When tyey log your coin they log it as "dicovered" That way they don't take it out of your inventory... Quote Link to comment
+Sam&Ziggy Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks for clarification, gang! I now understand................ Sam will be thrilled that she can wear it and it's still an active trackable. Quote Link to comment
+ST13PILOT Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) My wife has four Carousel Horse Coins that we've adapted to be worn on a chain. You simply let cachers copy the coins tracking number so they can file a "Discovered it" log. Edited April 5, 2009 by ST13PILOT Quote Link to comment
+tadpole379 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I had one of my personal coins wirewrapped by 0R0B0RUS. I wear it to events and people can discover me. Tadpole's Puddle Jumper Quote Link to comment
+ST13PILOT Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I had one of my personal coins wirewrapped by 0R0B0RUS. I wear it to events and people can discover me. That is really nice! The wire so nearly matches the coin color that it looks like it's part of the coin. Of course it helps that it's such a nice coin to begin with. Quote Link to comment
+Bhob Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Trackable items have really brought out the creativity in some people I have seen travelbug dog tags . . . screwed onto a walking stick - discover it if you meet the owner on the trail soldered onto the roll bar of a Jeep - discover when you encounter attached to a dogs collar - dog jewelry ! tattooed on a person's arm There is a geocoin tracking code engraved on a manhole cover (unlikely to get forgotten in the bottom of a backpack) Just when I start to think that I have seen it all, I come across something that makes me realize that I will probably NEVER see it all . . . and that is a big part of what keeps me interested in this hobby Quote Link to comment
+hollora Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I gave two of those turtles as Christmas presents to my Daughter and Daughter-in-law. Just went to the craft store, bought some yardage of the craft heavy rope like thread and tied a knot and then secured it to the turtle with a hitch for a necklace. The craft store yardage cost about $0.50. A chain of couse could be used. Wearable trackables are very popular. I am sure you can come up with a way for this to be used as a necklace. Als-, thanks ST13PILOT for the post and idea about the Carousel Horses........nice! Quote Link to comment
+Sam&Ziggy Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks for all the advice and encouragement everyone! Quote Link to comment
+FLIPPER&CO Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 We gave each other keys that are geocoins - when we got married on 08.08.08 and they can be discovered when we attend events. Like the carosel horse on a necklace too. We met Mrs. Blorenge in England last year and she wears a sand dollar as a necklace, it was very nice and we discovered that too cheers Gayle & Mark Quote Link to comment
