+Frye Family Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We recently found a Geocoin that has FTF imprinted on it. Was it possibly someone's FTF prize? I have heard that some cachers go back and visit all of their own FTF's when they find one of these coins. Should I do anything special while I have it? Please share. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yes- be sure to log it properly and place in another cache. Quote Link to comment
random_incoherencies Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 If this coin is not activated, chances are the last geocacher left it for the next finder because they did not want it. This has happened to me too. I did not activate it, I just put it in my collection. Quote Link to comment

Which cache did you find it in? Is there a previous log mentioning the coin? If it belongs to someone, then you should log a "retrieved", the normal procedure for trackables. And then a "dropped" log for when you place it in the next cache. B. Quote Link to comment

Do I activate the FTF coin when I hide and start cache or do I just drop coin in and let the first person to take it activate it???.. Most common usage of a FTF coin is that it is left in a newly published cache by the cache owner as a prize for the first person to find the cache ... making THE FINDER the FTF. Welcome to geocaching !!! Stop by here often for all kinds of geocoin information .... Quote Link to comment
