A TB owed by Old disappeard in 2005 and just showed up again in Canada! Where has it been? Only the GeoForces know, but glad to see it’s back in play. I guess there is hope for missing bugs after all.
Every once in a great while it happens. It happened to a couple of mine although not over that length of time. One can only wonder??? 🙂

Wow!
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Fantastic!! I wish my missing ones would resurface 🙂
I received a log from a cacher that discovered one of my trackables under her computer desk back in June. It had disappeared 5 years ago. Today, 6 months later, she logged that she’s moving it…finally…to Hawaii 🙂

Ha! I emailed an inactive cacher who’s had one of my personal geocoins for over a year. She/he responded in dismay…had asked her kids to drop it in Alaska while on a cruise. When questioned about it, it was found out they had no cell reception so it came back home with them. After searching around, it was found in their car’s glove and will be moved to a cache soon. They were very apologetic about it but such is the life of trackables.
Another mystery happily solved:)Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)

That is awesome! Love happy endings (or should I say new beginnings)!!
And also I picked up one recently belonging to Timberline Echoes that had not been logged in 3 1/2 years! It wasn’t in the cache it had been placed in. But it’s now back in play:)

We have one that was dropped into the wild when we lived in New Richmond. It’s gone missing twice since then, but has reappeared and is currently in Germany after a swing through South Korea. Still hoping to get it to every geocache in Swaziland.
The best sig is no sig.
Six of my eleven personal geocoins that I’ve released have disappeared and one has been in the hands of a cacher for 3 years that hasn’t responded. Two were released for the WGA travel bug race…one disappeared and the most recent hasn’t moved since mid-April. I don’t think I’ll be entering that race again. But one released 5 years ago is floating around Germany, has traveled almost 42,000 miles with almost 1700 logs. Wow! Those Europeans take good care those little travelers…even during a pandemic.

I must be lucky as I haven’t had any of mine go missing completely. That said, I don’t put GeoCoins into the wild. I have seen proxies of coins in the wild though. GeoCoins are worth real money depending upon the age of them. Look at what people were willing to pay at silent auction at 2021 Cache Ba$h. I stopped looking when they hit $70.
Bart, please continue with the TB Race. Would hate to see you not do this as you have a lot of fun. Just use a plain dog tag or cachinz tag with a traveler attached.
