RF9P1B - This is me, formally my ute before I had to sell it. I grabbed a few just before the lockdown that I promised to take to Europe... sadly that didn't happen but now we are allowed out you've just reminded me to go find them a new home!

Oooohhh, that intro! Nice work on another great informational video! I have passed your playlist on to a couple people who have messaged me asking me general questions on certain aspects of the game, so thanks for saving me the trouble of having to come up with the right words to say!
I have a trackable that I'd like to share. It's my Snag The Tag zombie that I got last year. Discover STM0BD!

[ComepiedrasGeocaching]

Good job! I miss when trackables were often found in geocaches. Lately I only see them at events or in the hands of their owners 😥

Craig - Another fantastic video for the Beginners !

6 trackables - had me thinking "Treasure" (and I'm hearing 'treszah' in a good Aussie accent). I only got 5 but that's ok: my eyes are old.

You asked for a Trackable for others to find - here it is: CRK0PG (that's an ought in the middle guys!)

[cachetheline]

Nicely done :) I like the focus on the tracking aspect moreso than the traveling aspect - It's great when they travel but yeah these days the more 'valuable' items might get stolen or taken unknowingly. More people need to know what travelbugs are! More people need to see this video! ;)

[Aykayem]

SGHT3K ... if I can't travel the world, maybe this one can travel virtually :)

[kittykatch]

Great video Craig and hopefully some of the new cachers who have started caching recently will find it and now how to deal with trackables.

[Komikino]

Dude! Your video intros are GOLDEN! What program did you use for making those?

[CacheCanada]

Good vid, good tutorial. We need more of these to get this message out.

[BradyMars]

Thanks for another fun video. Here is my cachemobile TB PJZ1R4

[TheCuriousKiwis]

Putting that new editing software to use!! looking good!
We LOVE your Pathtag holders! We are just getting into Pathtags and can't wait to make something like yours!
Your geo-coins are also goals! We need to do a Pathtags swap when we get ours in!
Another great video! Probably our fav so far!

[cookiekitty]

Thanks for this explanation, it has taken me a while to fully understand these things. Since I like shiny things, I collect them😂😂.

[ausfox]

All signed sealed and discovered. Great video.

[matyasvyhnalek]

Great vid for beginners. Many don't understand trackables and don't know what to do. I found 5 in the vid (one which I have previously discovered) and the one in the description which won't let me log it. I must have missed one. Oh well. Thanks for sharing!

4:18 Hey, that's Pardoes! (Pronounced as Par-Deuce) He's the mascotte of The Efteling, a famous Dutch fairy-tale amusement park.
Cool to see an icon from my country as a Trackable Hitchhiker. :)

[TheHoosierCacheHunters]

Nice video. I want to put a link to this video in the description of my TB Hotel geocache. Maybe it will help. We have a lot of newbies around right now.
I found six of the hidden codes. Nice!

[rasputinsloth]

Thanks for the video Seemyshell. Can you or anyone elaborate what is the point of a trackable geocoin if it is not released to the world. I understand you don't want it lost but what is done in terms of tracking? And how do you get them? have you been awarded these for achieving certain milestones etc?

I have a couple of TB from when I started 11 years ago. TB33WEF They both have been missing for a while but feel free to discover it.

On a positive note. I got back in to Geocaching after discovering a geocoin TB2FACA whilst moving house. I thought I had lost this while it was in my possession. I have recently placed back into a geocache in Brisbane GC10CTM. This has already completed its mission so I hope it can just be enjoyed as a traveling Geocoin.

Thanks for the recommendation

I got 6 of them... I guess I’m missing one? 🤷‍♀️. Beautiful coin collection!! I have mine in a bag... must display them.

[jlaoemir]

Really helpful video. Thank you. Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to make tracklables by yourself. Because on the website you can order codes.

[angellynette]

Newer geocacher her and I am loving it. The GIFF TB coin has me though. Even screen recording, screen capturing clips of the number, editing the clips as best I could I still can’t get the 3rd and 5th digits. 😂😂😂😂
