Travel bugs, Geocoin and other trackables

Trackables - what are they and what should I do if I find one in a cache?

Trackables are items that you own and you can put into caches for others to find and move on. They can be just for random travel or can have specific goals.  There are several different types, the most common being Travel Bugs and Geocoins. They are identified by a number - which may be engraved on them or on a 'tag' attached to the item. Don't confuse trackables with normal 'swaps' in a cache. You can't keep trackables - always move them along if you can.
If you take a trackable you do not have to leave a 'swap' for it; if you leave a trackable you shouldn't take a 'swap'.
