+cookefam Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Our family started Geocaching last summer,and have seen in a few posts "I dipped my personal coin in the cache",just wondering what it means and how its done. Quote Link to comment
+NicknPapa Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 If you have a geocoin or travel bug taht you have activated but have not turned loose you can "dip" it in caches you visit by selecting "Visited" for that coin when you log you find. People do it to keep track of mileage between caches they have found. Quote Link to comment

+BlueDeuce Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Typically called a personal tracker. Mine is my shadow. Not the easiest thing to bring to every cache. Quote Link to comment

I am traveling from Michigan to Albuquerque, New Mexico and want my coins/bugs to get some miles.... thank you Quote Link to comment
