Well, zuma, a coin of yours (Zuma’s Coin Town Geocoin) was the first trackable we ever moved. It never occurred to us to keep it, and it’s mission was well-defined. We’d been caching maybe three weeks when we found it, and we were excited to be able to “play the game”. It’s still out there with almost 1900 miles on it, sticking closely to its goal of visiting Wisconsin caches.
Still like seeing pretty coins and neat trackables, and we take photos of ones we move, but we haven’t put out any ourselves. Have a Wisconsin cow we want to put out, but those things are just too dang cute for someone to resist. Cacher education is a solution, along with caching ethics, but that’s the case with anything in this sport. Some get it, some don’t.
Guess it’s a crap shoot–take the gamble and be willing to take your losses if you want the enjoyment of trackables. Stick to TBs if coins go missing too often for you.
