Thanks to the 2023 Christmas Day blizzard in northeast Nebraska my daughter, JMVonFange, was delayed in heading home to Oklahoma so we spent the bonus time together looking through our geocaching pictures and noteboks as well as comparing our caching statistics including trackables moved/discovered. After hours, days, weeks, and months of checking TB Codes from pictures and on scraps of paper, I have done my best to create a “discovered/to discover” data base of trackables. Of course, some of the TB Codes were retrieved or discovered in a cache we visited or an event we attended, but many more were spotted online while we were staying home during the COVID pandemic. I found a number of TB Codes were actually included right on the TB Page itself or as an unintentional spoiler in the TB photo gallery; however, a few tracking codes were found on profile pages. Sometimes the code was left behind in a found it log for a cache or discovery log for a trackable which might also have led to a rabbit hole and the discovery of even more TB codes. While I don't know exactly when or where this trackable was spotted (it could have been in the trackable photo gallery on the geocaching website but it also might have been spotted in one of the various Facebook groups), if you did not personally share a photo of your trackable I understand if you want to delete my discovery log. I am now trying to do a much better job of documenting where and when I saw each TB when I write down the tracking code. One advantage of checking every single tracking code is that sometimes there is a special request or requirement for logging the trackable that I would not have necessarily caught (if I somehow missed your request to virtually retireve/grab and drop your trackable just send me a message via the geocaching message center and I will relog it as you intended).
Hopefully, my data base will help me to avoid multiple discoveries of the same trackable; although I did find several TBs that I have actually retrieved/grabbed/moved twice (I have tried to delete any second discovery logs). If I have accidentally discovered your trackable due to a typo or as the result of finding a picture of the tracking code that you are unaware of online, I hope that you will allow my discovered log to remain. I continue to be amazed at the diversity and detail of different trackables available around the world.
I only have three trackables that are activated at this time, one is lost in the wild (TB81KDQ: Norfolk Nebraska 150 Geocoin (Proxy)), one is traveling with me (TB75JJX: I Met Signal (and Freddie) Tag), and the third (TB7CGPK: Lewis and Clark at Niobrara State Park) was a doorprize won at a July 2024 event at Niobrara State Park. I will gladly share the actual tracking codes with you via the geocaching message center if you are interested in discovering them. You can also reach out the same way if you want one or more of your TBs to visit caches in Nebraska, Iowa, and/or South Dakota.
