Can anyone suggest how i can get my GC.com TB's off my "Travel Bugs (Mine)" list when I know the poor little bugger is dead?

There are soem travel bug cemeteries around but I don't visit them so I know nothing about where they are or how they work.

Might have to google it or check with the US forum maybe. I remember a thread hear a couple of year ago about them.

You can mark your own TBs as "unknown" but i think will still show in your "owned" lsits

Yep,
It's in a cemetery and unknown, however every visit to my travel bug list brings back the memories.

If you have all the numbers, why don't you re-release it, reincarnate it? the beauty of TBs is that they can come back from the dead.

Hmmm......... I have seen that done on Days of Our Lives and it seems to work well for them

(Sad isnt it!!!!!!)

Like sands through the hourglass I had never thought of the whole re-incarnation angle, Thanks Lucy.
I also had never come up with any use for the copy tags so this is a 2 birds with one stone solution.

Thanks again.

Reincarnation is good. I have done it with two of my bugs. The copy tags serve a purpose after all.

If they go missing again I have a set of number punches.

and some aluminium

Why don't you put it in Isle of the Dead - Australian TB graveyard in Tasmania. It has a large amount of loved ones.

Yes, a most appropiate spot too. I set that TB Graveyard up originally. Then handed control over to Team Piggy. There were some misgivings by fellow cachers at the location, but after I explained that the actual co-ords were just off the Island, all fears of trivialising the actual Island and what it means were laid to rest.

In September last year I and my family made the trip to Port Arthur and visited the Isle of the Dead, ironicly the boat that we travelled on took us over the exact co-ords for the TB Graveyard....

Could you see them if you looked down?
