+Belisen Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I found a geocoin and tried to follow the guide on the website but when I put in the code that starts with TC it loads a page with a different code and the last entry was 2010. The cache is pretty active and has lots of current sigs. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Is this one Flash Mob VIII Geocoin? Verify if there are any digits that may be confusing... "0" instead o "O", "l" instead of "1", by instance. Quote Link to comment
+Belisen Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 The numbers from the link don't match the coin. It would make sense since morning glory is right next to golden finch cache but there is no mistaken the codes don't match. My coin has a cornucopia and an orange pumpkin in the background.

RuideAlmeida Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 My coin has a cornucopia and an orange pumpkin in the background. It has only one side decorated? Maybe it is a pathtag... not related to this site. Quote Link to comment
+Belisen Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 It has thank you for the cache and the trackable website on the front. The code starts with TC. On the back it has scroll flowers and the code. I'm pretty sure I'm in the right place Quote Link to comment

+TriciaG Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 What is the trackable website on the front? Is it geocaching.com or something else? Quote Link to comment
+Belisen Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 On the back it says trackable, geocaching.com and tftc, and the code. The front says thanks for the cache with an yellow smiley face. It's pretty heavy and trimmed in gold. Quote Link to comment

+Belisen Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Thank you all for the help. I was able to understand it and grab it. How fun is this?!? God bless Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Glad to hear all worked out in getting this coin back in the system after being "missing" for 5 years. Could you explain what the problem was, and how it was rectified? Folks searching the forum for answers might find it helpful. B. Quote Link to comment

RuideAlmeida Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I guess that our fellow geocacher was a little confused about the difference between tracking number and reference number, and the fact that the last holder didn't dropped the geocoin since 2010. TFTC Geocoin All is well when ends well! Quote Link to comment

Pup Patrol Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Well, that's a point in favor of the Message Center. Sending a photo via the Message Center is a quicker and easier than trying to post a photo on the forum. The tracking number is very clear on the coin, so perhaps the problem was in not knowing that one can "grab" a trackable, when a "retrieved" log isn't possible. Good job on getting everything squared away, and getting the coin back on its travels. Wonder what its story is? How did it spend the last 5 years in limbo? How many hands did it take to get it to where it is now? Why didn't folks log its travels? Guess we'll never know. B. Quote Link to comment
