Another one shows up after 6 years!

Just got this log today:

 

Ok, you're totally not gonna believe this but this evening, my whole family & I went out for supper & then we wandered over to the nearby Dunham's Sporting Goods store where my smarter better half & I looked at kayaks & just generally browsed thru the store. While looking at kayaks, another customer walks up & is looking at the kayaks & he hears us talking about river caching. One thing leads to another & he says he's a cacher & he has a couple TBs he picked up awhile back. He asks me if I'd like to have them & move them along for him. So, naturally, being the TB nut that I am, I agree. I had no idea this one has been MIA for so long!!

So, long story short, I have your TB, it's still in great shape & I'll be putting it back out really soon. I'll try to put some miles on it in the meantime.

Thanks for sharing such a neat coin!

 

It's been gone for almost 6 years now. Wow.

But I have to ask....this other cacher obviously knew he had the coin - why did he sit on it for 6 years?!?!

 

Either way, I'm glad it is back in the game.

That's great did you already have it marked as missing ? I have done that then a year or so later it gets dropped in a cache

Wow that is unfortunate. I've noticed that a lot of caches have things in their inventory but in reality the trackables aren't there or haven't been active in a few years. It is disappointing. I haven't placed my trackables yet and I hope this doesn't happen to mine.

Great story! Never give up hope.

Thats great, good luck to it on it's journey.

[+sweetlife]

wow, what a very cool story. what geocoin was it?

[+Kealia]

It turns out this one is owned by Hula Bum and is a TB not a true geocoin.

But, we did attach a 9/11 memorial coin to the TB so it's sort of a geocoin......

This is why I never proxy a missing geocoin or travel bug. They may show up again someday. I have a few that went MIA for over a year and one that was MIA for over 2 years that one day just started moving again.
