TB & GC statistics for 10 February 2010:

 

There are now 948 TBs and GCs in 683 of the 3950 active South African caches. This is just 19 trackables short of the all-time record.

 

There is only one cache with 10 or more trackables:

GC1QECR - Vaal TB Hotel: 18

Well I'm glad I could bring a bunch in from the northern hemisphere.

 

Keep it up guys - perhaps we can make a concerted effort to place those TB's in our bags this weekend?

I have been tracking the total number of TBs and GCs for 14 months now, and the total appears to be increasing by an average of 1 every 7 days.

That is surprising - I expected more cachers to be in the country while watching the soccer.

 

I'm going to post on the stats page regarding this.

 

I will be dropping off a whole lot while here - but will also be collecting to take back with me. Most cachers will drop and collect so perhaps the figures will not always reflect the actual movement in and out.

I guess it all averages out in the end, but if coincidentally in the days preceding the stats being taken there are more coins and TBs removed from caches and sitting in cachers hands that would influence the figure too, as it would if coincidentally more cachers dropped coins that are sitting in their bags. It seems that as event caches come up people start hoarding them to take to the event. I wonder what the figure would look like if we all dropped all the coins we are sitting on?

Eish - that figure is a little bit skewed as there are a number of coins from a collection in the Event for discovery. :) But on the positive side I have dumped a few new ones in SA during my visit. Not too many but did leave more than I took nevertheless. :)

I would have expected the number to be higher. Of the 102 new TBs in circulation as a result of the 2011 TB Race, 82 are still in SA. Are they all in cacher's bags because it does not seem to have made any dent in the statistics?

I am a cacher in Arizona in the USA. I would like to mail some Travel Bugs and Geocoins to a cacher in S. Africa in order to get these travelers onto a different continent. In return, any Travel Bugs and Geocoins mailed to me will be placed in caches in the US. I got two good responses within hours of posting this request. Two will be plenty for this project, thank you.

TB & GC statistics for 15 April 2011:

 

There are 1019 TBs and GCs in 673 of the 5329 active South African caches.

 

This implies that about one in eight caches contain at least one trackable, on average. Or one in five, if one assumes that micros can not contain trackables.

 

The long term (2 year) growth is 1 more trackable every 5 days.

 

There are currently 6 caches with 10 or more trackables:

GC1GZ0K - Little Netherlands TB Hotel: 20 trackables

GC251A0 - Rosenheim 43 TB Hotel: 17 trackables

GC1RN78 - Ki-Deo - TB's Place To Call Home!: 13 trackables
