Need Help

[+Bez57]

I am new to geocaching and found a geocoin in MI. I logged it and have placed it in cache in FL. I cannot figure out how to record the coin being placed. Thank you in advance for help.

At the bottom of the page where you posted your log their was a listing that showed the coin in it, you should have highlighted it before you submitted your log. You may now post a coin drop note and do so, it will place the coin in the cache.

If you've already logged the cache as found, here's what you can do:

 

Create a new log entry, as in Droo's graphic, only select "Write note". Put in some short text like "coin drop", then select the appropriate trackable at the bottom of the page (again, as in Droo's graphic).

 

When you're done, the coin should show up in the cache's inventory. Now you can find your "note" log on the cache page, click "View / Edit Log". On the page to which this takes you, you'll see a [ Delete Log ] button. You can now delete the log. This cleans up the cache page but doesn't affect the cache inventory -- the coin will still be listed there.

They should pin your graphics to the trackables page.They are so helpful.

I do not have the graphic at the bottom that asks about the trackable item. I have logged that I picked it up. Am I doing something wrong?

You grab a coin from the coin page ...... but the drop is from the cache page.

 

So after you've logged your find you will be prompted at the bottom to add any trackables from your inventory that you may wish to drop off at the cache in question.

did you just discover the coin or grab the coin?

You only did a discovery log. You need to go to the bug page and either "gab it from somewhere else" or "retrieve from" the cache. Then the coin will show up in the inventory list. Then you can drop it as you log the cache page.
