+Miss Mossy Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I picked up a TB some time ago and since I moved shortly afterwards, misplaced the TB. When I found it again the tags were missing so I have replaced the tags for the CO. How do I change the tracking number in the system before sending the TB out? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) the tags were missing so I have replaced the tags for the CO.Tracking numbers are reusable. The TB owner should attach the tag “copy” now. Even if both original tags are lost, the TB can continue on, with the same TB number. That's the best plan -- use the same number as before. One way to do this would be to make some suitable replacement tag with all the info on it, including the original TB number, designed to be very securely attached and durable. If you swap it to another number, people who've found it before will have a hard time tracking it now. Some people like to check on previously found TBs to watch them travel. But you could (in theory) type the info on the old TB's log, mentioning the swap (just the reference number, not the actual tracking number). At the very least you should first email contact@geocaching.com to see if they can swap numbers for you. Otherwise all the previous mileage and logs will be lost (well, they remain with the old page, but no more movement or logs will ever be done for it again).
