Carving a tb code

[+zays]

I would just like to know if it's ok to carve the tb code on an item instead of attaching the tb to it I wanna start a mod chess game in NYC useing caches and rather not place the tags on the pieces

I think if it's clearly legible and you put all the info that's on the tag onto the chess piece it'll work. What I did recently for a trackable is put the code onto the trackable via engraving AND attached the trackable metal piece to it.

How will cacher's know it's a TB and just now swag?

 

THe Code may not be enough information for new cachers to identify it as a trackable

coman123 makes a good point. trackable loss is on the rise.

Yep, I agree with Zaise ... I recently picked up a very small champagne cork shaped piece of wood with a tracking number on it ... it was about 2cm long and about the thickness of a ball point pen at it's widest point, very easily overlooked as a TB ... after contacting the owner I attached a laminated tag to the TB and sent it on it's way, far more visible.
