What is the longest surviving TB? The one with the most miles?

[+Team GeoCan]

I have a TB that has been active for over 9 years. and its a HUGE one.

 

Is there a way to list longest running active (found in the last 6 months) TBs?

 

And could there be a search effort to find and log them?

 

These long running TBs are the superstars of the TB world.

Great question. I too would love to know.

This one which is currently a few miles from us is a golden oldie, started in Dec 2002:

 

Sandy the seahorse

 

This one is even older (Oct 2001) and we saw it here in UK early last year but, sadly, it seems to have gone missing in Germany. Hopefully it might re-appear...

If you have time to spare you can start searching by the TB reference numbers...

 

TB1 Deadly Duck: Envy

 

TB4

 

TB6

 

... I'm going to bed now, I'll leave you to search through all the rest.

I had Deadly Duck: Lust for 5 years. I misplaced twice.

 

I finally found it an placed it in Jeremy's hand at GW6 along with my Re-Tardis TB and told him to keep it for 5 years before releasing it. He let it off for good behavior after a 3 years.

I sent out 12 TBs 9 years ago, only one is still active. Between plundering, "TB Pirates" who "Kidnapped" several and offered to sell them back to me, and people who just "collected" them and never placed them.... They go missing quickly.

 

I sent in a suggestion to Geocaching, and they say they do not keep records of which are active...They just provide the bandwidth.
