+LuckyTurtle Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I found a geocoin that's goal is to travel the world. It has been dormant in MN for too long. Can I mail this to anyone in a southern state, just to spread it around? Or is this wrong/breaking the rules? (I'm a noob). Thanks!! ~Andy Quote Link to comment
+G & C Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 You can do that, but it's probably best that you just put it in another cache and let it get on its way that way. Quote Link to comment
+fuzziebear3 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Generally, mailing is not the preferred method of travel for a geocoin. You could contact the owner and ask them if you can mail it to another geocacher, but really, I think the intention would be for you to put it in another cache. The randomness of the travel is sometimes the interesting part. If you were to mail it to someone, it needs to be an active geocacher, not just someone you know. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Typically it's not a good idea to mail someone else's coin.... to move your own out of town or the state is one thing but ask the owner first if it's okay with them. Quote Link to comment
Maine Family Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) You could contact the owner and ask them if they would like you to mail it to another cacher. There is the World Release Resister for Coins and Bugs. You could contact someone on the list to accept it through the mail. Edited February 25, 2012 by Maine Family Quote Link to comment
