dobelady Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 I found a "T" coin in a cache and don't know whether or not to log it. It does have a number. Does anyone know about "T" coins? Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Yes, there are some people who make "Geocoins" and they are tracked like TB's through gc.com. I think the reference to them is on the TB page at gc.com. Quote
dobelady Posted December 27, 2003 Author Posted December 27, 2003 This object is not a true geocoin per se. It is a large aluminum disc 2 1/2 inches in diameter that has a T punched through it with the word coin stamped next to the t, with a number stamped below. I am thinking it was placed with the intent that it may be somehow tracked but I cannot find any reference to it in any searches. If I could somehow log it I would like to do so...any ideas!? Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Oh, sorry....never heard of that one! I'm as clueless as you are now! Quote
+pnew Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 you could try typing the tracking number on the Travel Bug page (http://www.geocaching.com/track/) next to the picture of the TB dog tag and see if there's a page for it. Some cachers opt not to use the TB dog tags with their bugs for some reason or another but it may still be a TB. Try it out and tell us if it works. Quote
FISUR Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Back in March, someone found a Tcoin in Washington State and asked a similar question. No answer was reported at that time. The question continues to haunt me. FISUR Quote
+Touchstone Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 sounds like a cool signature item to me. Do you have a picture? (I know that Fisur is going to Markwell me on that one ) Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Just a thought,but could it be a crossover item from that other cache-site that starts with a "T"? Quote
FISUR Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 sounds like a cool signature item to me. Do you have a picture? (I know that Fisur is going to Markwell me on that one ) I can't seem to find the picture that was once posted of the Tcoin. However, there is a geocacher named TCoin who has been known to leave Tcoins. Evidently it's a signature item. If the coins are trackable in some way, TCoin would know. FISUR Quote
dobelady Posted December 28, 2003 Author Posted December 28, 2003 Thank you to all for your assistance! It seems that the conclusion is that it is a sig item of TCoin's..it was found in a Washington cache and it *is* very cool. I will contact TCoin and ask if there is a tracking system indeed...glad to have it and although I am on a dialup connection this weekend in a hotel, I will get a picture uploaded to my gallery page (which is currently empty!) so people can check it out. In the meantime, happy caching to all and I need to come up with a sig item of my own. Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Aaaahhhhhh.....another satisfied customer! Happy Geocaching!!! Quote
