beatrixkiddo Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 found one today but it doesnt show up here. Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 They are not trackable on geocaching.com. You need to access the website denoted on the tag itself. They are neat, but have no connection with geocaching.com. Link to comment
+9Key Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Unless an item says "trackable on geocaching.com" then it is not trackable on geocaching.com. Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 On the back of a tag it says something like 'track on pathtags.com". That tracking does not track its travels. Pathtags are more like registered swag. All tags of 1 design have the same number. When you log it, you log it into your collection. You can then keep it or drop it in another cache. There is no tracking where a specific tag has been. Link to comment
+Quossum Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Go here: http://www.pathtags.com/index.php If the person who designed the pathtag has set its map to public, you can see all the places where someone has found (or been traded) that particular tag, but as PP have mentioned, the individual tags are not trackable. Lots of information at the Pathtags forums, too. Enjoy! They are neat. --Q Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 found one today but it doesnt show up here. If you find a pathtag in a geocache, the rules state that you must send it immediately to any geocacher whose username begins with the letters "Lovejoy & Tin" Do a search and i'm sure you'll find someone with a user name like that, then just send them along...

LOL--I could've sworn that rule involved sending it straight to users whose names begin wtih "Q" and whose avatars include North American marsupials, but I must be wrong... --Q Link to comment

You must now send them to cachers whose name is in Latin, goes by the initials "SQ", and lives in Texas. Link to comment
+thedeadpirate Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 So we've established that at a minimum, there must be a Q in your name. Link to comment
+Zwack_&_Irish_Eyes Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 So we've established that at a minimum, there must be a Q in your name. Maybe... Unless LoveJoy and Tinqer is around... Z. Link to comment
+Qbar Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 So we've established that at a minimum, there must be a Q in your name. hmmm - note to self - must find a picture of North American marsupial... Link to comment
+Quossum Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 hmmm - note to self - must find a picture of North American marsupial... Crap, I'm in trouble!! Link to comment

+power69 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I just trade em as regular swag. a couple i got as ftf prizes and kept. can't really be bothered to jump through yet another sites hoops. Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Actually that brings up a question, I was told that pathtags do have to be traded for since they're not geocaching.com trackables. I will trade them for good swag or other pathtags. Is that true? Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Actually that brings up a question, I was told that pathtags do have to be traded for since they're not geocaching.com trackables. I will trade them for good swag or other pathtags. Is that true? I always treat them as swag and trade for them. I just wish they're more common around here - over 1000 geocaches and I've found less than 10 pathtags in the wild. A pathtag costs between $1 to $2, if you're worried about trading fairly. I try to trade a pathtag with another pathtag Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The two I got I traded other comparably priced swag for. It totally makes my day to find a path tag in a cache. Link to comment
+The Ravens Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I consider my PTs a signature item and are free for the taking trade or no trade. Link to comment
