Know before you buy
Each tag features a unique tracking code printed on it. Once you activate the code on Geocaching.com, you can drop the tag in a geocache, and other geocachers can log it as they move it from cache to cache, allowing you to watch its progress on a map.
Yes, it is designed specifically for travel. It is made of sturdy materials meant to withstand being handled and moved between containers, though like any trackable, there is always a risk it could go missing.
You can drop the tag on its own, but it is common practice to attach it to a small object or 'hitchhiker.' This helps the tag stand out in a cache and makes it less likely to be overlooked or lost.
Absolutely. While it is designed to travel, many collectors purchase these tags to keep in their personal collections as mementos. You can still activate it online to show it in your collection without ever placing it in a cache.
It is a common reality of geocaching that trackables sometimes go missing. If your tag stops moving, you can mark it as 'missing' on the Geocaching.com website, which removes it from the active inventory of the last cache it visited.
