I have one more thing to add to this although having never released any "real" travel bugs (so far - the tag is on my desk!) I haven't tried it. I've read that people have had better luck if they attach a laminated card to the travel bug spelling out exactly what it is and how it works. I guess there are plenty of people who don't read the forums, etc or are new to geocaching, and have no clue about travel bugs, so they just keep them. This is the idea that I will be trying.

 

I'm actually planning on eventually releasing several travel bugs, both here and in England, with the same purpose. So if one or two go missing I won't be too dissapointed.

Hello IFISHAZ (Dennis P.) here,
Unfortunately I have had two travel bugs lost by geocachers who had retrieved them from caches. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do next? It seems to me (as a relatively new cacher) to be a waste of money to buy TB's that if they get lost are just gone (both bugs were lost in their first months of life, one wasn't even a complete month old). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
