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 comparing our caching statistics including trackables moved/discovered and looking through our geocaching pictures and notes. After many hours 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 have been retrieved and discovered in a cache we visited or an event that was attended, but many more were spotted virtually on various social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, etc. I found a number of TB Codes necessary for discovering the trackable were actually included right on the TB Page itself or as an unintentional spoiler in the TB photo gallery; however, a few TB owners have included tracking codes on their profile page. I also found TB codes left behind by other cachers in cache and TB logs.
Hopefully, my data base will help me to avoid multiple discoveries of the same trackable item although I did find several TBs that I have actually retrieved/grabbed/moved twice. If I have accidentally discovered your trackable due to a typo, I hope that you will allow my discovered log to remain even though virtual discoveries are becoming less common, as I appreciate the opportunity to see such a wide variety of different and unique trackable items. I only have two trackables that are activated at this time, one is lost in the wild and the other is traveling with me, but I will gladly share the codes with you via the geocaching message center if you are interested in discovering them. You can reach out the same way if you want one or more of your TBs to visit caches in Nebraska, Iowa, and/or South Dakota.
The TB Code for this trackable item was found in the discovery logs of one or more TBs, unfortunately, I only documented the TB Code and not the TB Iog(s) it was found in (something, I have since started doing).
