Hello! I'm new to caching and am confused about Pathtags. Are they supposed to be re-cached or collected? I tried entering the number on one into the geocaching website, but got no response. I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing with it.

TIA for your help.

Welcome to the site & the addiction.

Pathtags can be collected or placed into another cache.

Pathtags are not trackable like geocoins are. The number on the pathtag is the same for the same type of pathtag. For instance, every Geocaching Maine pathtag as shown below has the same number. You cannot track where a pathtag has been or how many miles it has travelled as you can a geocoin. They can, however, be logged into www.pathtags.com.

There are still a few Geocaching Maine pathtags available if you would like one for your collection.

Thanks for the info. I didn't want to stop an item that should be traveling along, but it seemed like most people left the tags as signature items to be collected.

I do not collect them. I know many that do. I will gather a bunch up I find and drop them all into a new cache or trade them at events.

I do have a lot of the Maine State Path Tag to be sold. The money goes to fund this website. $3 ea.

How would one go about purchasing one or two of these tags?

Just tell me how many you want, send the money and I'll send them to you or come to one of the events. I usually have them with me.

I still have a few left here too. I'm at SoundShapers in Brewer 6 days a week. (Not tomorrow though, got a wedding to attend!)
