+hr11 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Does anyone know how to trace geocoins. Are they tracable as travelbugs? Quote Link to comment
+Team Og Rof A Klaw Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 (edited) Allow me to Markwell... USA Geocoins geocoins are trackable as travel bugs. Other geocoins are trackable if the owners have set up a tracking site of their own. Most geocoins never make it to cache number two.

+Rubeeslpr Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I would LOVE to find a geo coin. We have 100 finds, and have not yet run across one. Quote Link to comment
+Strapped-4-Cache Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I agree regarding the short track history of the coins. I located a Canadian one in a local cache and dropped it in another cache while on vacation in order to allow it to get some mileage. I checked the cache page shortly thereafter and noticed a new cacher had found it. He had about three finds to his name, took the coin, left something unremarkable, and hasn't had any cache activity since. What a bozo. I would rather have kept the coin myself, but I prefer to see them keep moving. Better luck next time. I hope to see that coin back in circulation one day, but don't expect it.

+TexasFamily Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I had 2 Texas GeoCoins both made it to the 2nd cache but no movement since. That was 6 months ago. Quote Link to comment
PL8S4JON Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I am seriously contemplating setting up my first Cache. I am intrigued by the geo coins and am ordering some to put in my Cache. I am wondering if there would be better luck in putting the geo coin in a cache that is for members only with the requirement that the coin goes to another members only cache. I know that members only does not guarantee anything but I think it cuts out a bunch of pirates who look for them for free and there may be a little more integrity in moving them along. Any thoughts or experiences with member only caches and if this may be more successful? -Jon Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 IMHO, I think limiting a geocoin to a MOC would really ristrict its movement. I've placed five coins and had pretty good luck with them. I put them in caches without any expectations of actually getting anywhere. Quote Link to comment
+bons Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 1) Geocoins don't look like travel bugs. 2) People who find them don't realize that they can act like travel bugs. 3) They DO like like signiture items. 4) People are used to not tracing signiture items. They're used to keeping them. Quote Link to comment
+Igi Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I found my first geocoin in Prague, Czech. It was TX geocoin. There was written, you can track this at www.txgeocoins.com so I did. I rehided it to another cache, but wanted to have my own. I ordered one peace and man send me three pcs, because it was first european order of this TX geocoins, so I hided another 2 pcs. This 2 extra was without payment, it costs me about 10 USD all including postal. I have also one USA geocoin, but I receive it by post as a gift from my friend geocacher Dad and the Dynamic Duo (thanks to George). I like it and may be I will order 2004 series, or can somebody send me? This is little bit for me to pay it, because Slovakia is not on PayPal list. I can Yous Visa only, but GC.com is not accepting it. I oredered TB too, but from London, Englad because it was impossible to pay it directly in USA and sent it out from USA. Quote Link to comment
