How to "grab" your own Geocoin back?

[+davcom1]

Hi all,

 

I did a quick search for the answer before posting and I may simply be missing the obvious but here goes...

 

We were given a 500 Finds Geocoin by a friend and released it just before moving house/area with a goal of finding its way to our new home.

 

(I know it might have been easier simply to pack it with other stuff but where's the fun in that!?)

 

Within a couple of months, our coin has indeed arrived and we picked it up from a local cache last night.

 

What I cannot seem to do is to "grab" it into my possession!?

 

We want to log the fact that we've retrieved it and might keep hold of it. Is it simply a case of editing the description?

 

Obviously at the moment it is still showing as being in the Geocache.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

That's what I was expecting but because it is our own coin, the "Found it? Log it!" link doesn't appear.

 

There is a "Add a log entry" however as per kini_ont which I was able to use.

 

Thanks for the help though!
