Pathtags

Pathtags are personal trading items. Used most often in Geocaching, they are also very handy for Scouting, Military and Promotional use.

A pathtag is a single-sided custom metal tag about the size and weight of a U.S. Quarter, a one Euro coin or an Australian ten cent piece. The precise dimension of Pathtags are 23mm in diameter and 2.0mm thick. Pathtags are made from a solid iron base and are plated in a protective colored plating of either silver, gold, copper, or black nickel.

Pathtags are not typically traveling items such as Geocoins or Travel Bugs. They are generally used as personal "signature items" for Geocaching or other trade item. If found, simply log it and the tag's profile will display for you to view. Unless the profile says otherwise, you are welcome to add it into your permanent collection.

Logging a Pathtag

Pathtags can be logged into your collection on the pathtags.com website.

You’ll need to go to http://www.pathtags.com and create an account on that website if you dont have one setup already. Most cachers use their caching name as their pathtags username for simplicity.

Once you have an account and have logged in, you can select Log Tags at the top of the screen, then select Log One Tag from the menu underneath (or just click on this link: https://www.pathtags.com/community/log)

A screen appears that lets you log the tag. You can enter the location that you found the tag (or use your home location). You also need to enter the number on the back of the pathtag, so the system knows what tag you have found. You can also add a note and change the date and quantity of tags to add if you want to.

Once all that information is in there, press the Click to Add button and the tag will be added to your collection.
