What are the geocaching codes?

[+the Seagnoid]

I am working on a new puzzle geocache, and I am after the code identifiers that geocaching uses. These can be used to construct a URL directly to a particular item (eg by using https://coord.info/xxxxxxx). Another clue is that these are the codes that tracking IDs may not start with (you will never see a tracking id that starts with GC)

 

For example:

GC - GeoCache - a geocache description

GL - Geocache log - an individual geocache log

TB - Travel Bug - a trackable's description 

TL - Trackable Log - an individual log of a trackable retrieve, visit, etc.

PR - Profile - a player profile (mine is PR5DMHT)

BM - BookMark - an individual list

GT - GeoTour

 

There are also common travelbug tracking codes, such as OC - Oak Coins - I do not need these.

 

Are there any others? Do drafts have one?

WM - waymarks

Benchmarks’ codes start with two letters and can be used in an url, if you want to count those.

You can also use travelbug tracking codes and they will redirect to the TB's main page.

ETA: No sorry, that's my own url hack. Tracking codes don't work on coord.info.

Benchmarks start with what two letters? It's probably not "BM"

Depending on where you were in the USA, I could share examples of the first two letters in local benchmarks.  However, that does not apply to you.

Benchmark prefixes appear to vary by location.  KN in central Utah, HW in central Virginia, NA and LY in upstate New York...I'm sure there's a pattern, but I don't know it.
