+Droo Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) Check the edge.... if no tracking numbers there you got a personal geocoin, a trade item, a piece of swag - did you trade fairly for it? Edited December 7, 2009 by Droo Quote Link to comment

+DresselDragons Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Based on the caches you've found...It looks like "Flat Stanley" was the name of a cache that you found. There are no coins logged into that cache, so I am guessing that you picked up a signature item. It appears that Midnight Faerie (a cacher) left a wooden nickel in the cache...is the "coin" that you picked up a wooden nickel? If so, it is a swag item and is not trackable. Quote Link to comment

You can't track it, only collect it. Some of us create signature items to leave in caches so others can find them. I am truly honored that some of my hand stamped brass dics are in other people's collections that some have even posted on line! Quote Link to comment

+Eartha Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The photo has to be stored online, such as if you uploaded the photo to your geocaching log. Then you could use that URL to insert the link. Quote Link to comment

You only had a few finds so far (welcome to the addiction), so finding out that Flat Stanley was a cache was easy. There were no trackables listed as in the cache, so I viewed the older logs on the cache page. There was one for Midnight Faerie that said that she dropped a wooden nickel in the cache.
