+Peter the Hat & Net Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 all, I have problem. I dropped off one of my geocoins in a cache in Australia when I was on holiday there in April. I logged the find but totally forgot to log dropping the coin. Someone picked it up a few days later and moved it on. Now I do not see any way of going back and showing I dropped it at that Cahce as it is no longer in my coin list to drop. Any ideas if that is possible ? Peter Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 As the coin owner, it is possible for you to correct things. Just date the logs to the correct date. Think it's best to do things while the coin is not in a fellow cachers hands. (Others may have the way to do it/a better suggestion!) Quote Link to comment
Maine Family Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 If the person who has picked it up still has it send an email to them and let them know you didn't drop it off in the cache and want to do it. Then you would retrieve it from them and then place it in the cache and they would have to retrieve it from the cache again. Quote Link to comment

If you want, mention in the logs you are correcting mileage. USE THE PROPER DATES. Once they log it dropped, you have to move quickly so that it won't get picked up while you are working your magic. ETA: the bolded/underlined is important. Edited June 23, 2012 by Gitchee-Gummee Quote Link to comment
