Dear MainzFam. While checking on a local cache that I hike past frequently today, I found that your trackable was not there. We decided to stop in on the cache to see if it needed any swag added as we had just placed two new Geocaches nearby. There were no trackable items in the cache, only a couple trade items and the log book.
My condolences on what appears to be a loss of your trackable. I hope it surfaces some day. It's terrible to see one go missing at it's very first drop and never log another cache.
