Geocaching Travel Bug® Marble

Expanded key ring is kinda cheesy cheap holder for the marble.
Was hoping the marble had its own trackable icon, not just the generic travel bug.
Marble not as bright and shiny as the picture. Maybe this was a more used recycled glass globe. marble

This is not at all what I thought it would be. From the picture I thought it had a flat back and was a lot smaller. That the bug and code showed through from the inside. Reading the reviews now I see a lot of people worrying about the code rubbing off but not any who have said it actually rubbed off. It feels lasered on not just painted so I'll leave it as is and see how it fares. I also figured from the picture that it came with a chain long enough to be worn as a necklace. This is not the case. Just wish the photo and the description was more informative. Would like to see it without the spaceship or with other designs.

I have been wearing one for many years with no added 'nail polish' and nothing has worn off at all. I get lots of compliments on it and it's very unique. I also have matching earrings!

I wasn't quite sure what everyone was talkin about when they said they had to put nail polish on it to keep from rubbing off but now I understand....it literally is a painted marble. There's a TB on one side and the rest is painted like a globe. It looks cool but won't last. Here's the real bummer, the silver band holding in the marble is seriously just a metal keychain ring stretched open and clamped onto the marble, I love marbles but this looks pretty cheap :(

I have a friend who does metal wrapping and I think I'll take it to her so she can put a solid band around it and make it look more professional. It's not a bad price so I'm not sorely disappointed but wish it was a little more sturdy.

I received this as a birthday gift (July) and immediately attached it to my car's rear view mirror. In September, I purchased a 30 inch sterling silver chain and now I wear it as a pendant. I have received numerous compliments on it. Sometimes I explain the meaning and other times, I just simply say thank you. I wear it on a daily basis - whether I'm dressed for the office, a day of caching or simply running errands on the weekend. It's quite special to me so I won't be placing it in a cache.
