Ohms26 Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 We found pin a pin while on a treasure hunt and found out it had a tracking device in it but had no "tag" at all in it. ( Bud Light Pin (lights up)) Please contact me at xxghettoangel_314xx@yahoo.com as soon as possible thank you. ~Ohms26~ Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Ummmmm.....how do you know it's a tracking device, and not just the chip to make the pin operate? Quote
+carleenp Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 I doubt the pin was any kind of tracking device. Those are expensive, don't look like what you described, and are not really part of this sport/game. It is likely just a light up item that was put in the cache as a trade item. Quote
+Tiwica Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Hey maybe that should have been in the cache that an accidental cacher moved a couple of blocks away. If it has a tracking device in it, I want some! If you find out where to get them, I'm sure a lot of us would want to know. Why would you take it if it has a tracking device???? And how would you know if it did? I agree with Sparky...it's probably the chip that makes the lights work, or another CIA covert project...I wanted one of those new Brain Scrambling Self Protection devices for Christmas but my wife was afraid to get me one, thinking I may want to use it on her and slip out for a 90 minute cache adventure.

+Team GPSaxophone Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 Are there any numbers on the chip? Quote
+Doc-Dean Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 The chip belongs to the FBI and as we speak several black helicopters are closing on your position! Quick grab your Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie!!! Quote
LogJam00 Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 I've seen these kinds of things before. They are simply a pin with a blinking red light to be used as an attention-getter for the product in question - in your case Bud Light. I wouldn't worry. Kind Regards, Mike Quote

That is exactly what they want you to think..........beware, this may be a Homeland security tracking device. Get rid of it as soon as you can. Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 But if you get rid of it as fast as you can Tell me where you put it,I might back Engineer it and track them...LOL The Real Homeland Defense Department Quote
+leatherman Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 That is exactly what they want you to think..........beware, this may be a Homeland security tracking device. Get rid of it as soon as you can. Oh yeah! Everyone knows that only rednecks drink cheap beer like Bud Lite. The Defense Department is watching them for possible ties to Al Queda. Quote
+tighedog Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 You got any more of what you were smoking before finding this cache? Quote
+HumveeDad Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 I think the original poster thought they found a travel bug, what they are calling a tracking device. Man, too many Orwell fans here... Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 I think the original poster thought they found a travel bug, what they are calling a tracking device. Man, too many Orwell fans here... No, in several communications outside the forums from the original poster, they told me that they truly believe it is a tracking device, because their "dad makes this type of thing,and I know what they are". They are not talking about the travel bug, they are talking about a "computer chip" in the Budweiser pin that they found, and really do think it is a tracking chip left there by the government. Quote
cool_and_the_gang Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 The whole "Men in Black" aspect that come to mind when you read the original post is humorous as were the many funny comments in the same vien. But giving Ohms26 the benefit of the doubt for a second: Is there any possibility that it is a promotional gimick similar to the Coca-Cola promotion with the homing device? or: Could it be that the beer company tracks thier delivery employees with such a device and one went AWOL with a truck load of BudLight? Perhaps they used the Geocache as a clever ruse to throw the Man off thier scent by hoping that an unsuspecting Geocacher would wear the flashing Bud Light pin and head in the opposite direction! That's so crazy it just might work! I, for one, am not taking any chances. If I find one of those in a 'cache I'm logging a TNLN! Quote
