Geocoin in circulation but not moving

I put a geocoin into circulation but it is not moving. The view map has only the 1st location. Is that because I did not have a log on the 1st entry. The Edit log feature is disabled. Can it be enabled for me to put a beginning log on it. he code is

Has Another Cacher found the cache since you dropped the coin?

 

If not that would explain its not moving.

 

If so a couple of things could have happened

a) no one picked it up or discovered it....Not very Likely

B) Someone has picked it up and hasn't gotten around to logging it yet

c) it was stolen

d) it was picked up by someone who doesn't know how to deal with trackables

 

Hope it shows up soon

Never put the tracking code in a post or in a photo.

 

The public reference code is TB6JZWP

The person who retrieved it only did so on the 2nd. Perhaps they have forgotten they have it, perhaps they haven't found a cache large enough to drop it.

 

That person has not dropped the coin yet, or logged any "visited" logs, so there won't be anything else to show on the map.

Movement will be detected and shown when the coin is dropped in another cache - I'm not sure about "cache visits". Each cache is a waypoint and it takes going from one waypoint to another to generate distance and direction, i.e. movement.

'Cache Visits' do not add to mileage and notices of visits are not sent to the TO.

"Adding mileage" is the excuse given for hanging onto trackables for months and logging nothing but "visited" logs.

 

See the history of my poor coin, starting with page 2:

mileage amounts were added with each "visit" log.

You had a "beginning" log on the trackable when you dropped it in the cache. ;)

Retrieved only four days ago (discovered today), possible the person who retrieved it dropped it (and just hasn't logged in yet), or simply showed it to another to discover.

Not a long time to hold a trackable.

Map location will/should change when it's dropped into another cache. :)

Sure they do.

Posted without reading it first. (my bad)

 

Of course the mileage is added, just the TO does NOT get notices of 'visit' activity.
