British Bobby Geocoin Enters Presale
From Geoswag.com : This geocoin was created by a British geocacher who is a policeman and was looking for a police helmet geocoin.

Under the careful hand of the helmsman, the Colonial warship spun on her axis and slowly navigated into position. “Five, four, three, two, one … ” The voice echoed around the command information [...]
