This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

My Government Protects Me is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

This trackable is a Travel Bug® tag attached to an inert .45-70 Government rifle cartridge.  Its goal is to travel the world and bring with it a little history and information about this cartridge that tamed the Wild West.  If you can legally post pictures of you with your Cowboy Gun please include them when you log this trackable.  If you can place it into caches at military history locations or caches that referance the Wild West please try to do so.  

Warning: This trackable is an exact replica of a .45-70 Government rifle cartridge, certian localities may have misguided laws against the possession or transportation of this item, even though it can not be fired.  Please do not take it to any of those places.
