New Coins from Friends
Ever since I first began geocaching, I became interested in geocoins. These trackable items come in all shapes and sizes with me having a fair amount (still small by the standards of some) in my personal collection that I have either purchased or been given along the way. I was honored last night when two [...]
GEOCAC Benchmark Geocoin Leaves Me Proud
“Got a picture of this coin with Benchmark #Q460 – HV2971 in King George, VA, along highway 301. Will pass it on by hand tomorrow at an event cache.” — by Suesmith2 on May 15, 2009. ——————————– Of all the coins I have released, this is most likely the most detailed in addition to being [...]

“Never Give Up” ————————- Train Set Geocoin – Pullman Car ————————- Happy Go Lucky (Geocoin Copy)
Moo the Cow
On our Ludwigshafen Multi tours we planned to find LittleBridgeLost last weekend, but we didn’t manage to get there. Today Steffi picked me up at the train station and we headed out to this cache. It is a little out of Ludwigshafen. After a short drive we enjoyed a wonderful evening walk in the sunset [...]
A Dispatch from a Knight
What follows is a posting a geocacher left on March 3, 2009, when he retrieved “The Coin of Knightly Virtues” from the geocache named “Forest Thinning” in Connecticut. The coin itself is a Templar geocoin with the following mission: “To travel the world and encourage those who discover and help to move it to perform [...]
A Surprise In The Mail
This afternoon after returning home with my littlest daughter, I ventured down to the mailbox, reached in and pulled out the mail. Among the bills and the newspaper was a small package from overseas. Although I am expecting a geocoin previously ordered, I found this delivery a surprise as I could not remember ordering any [...]
A “Knight” Begins Its Quest
This evening before settling in to watch the Superbowl, I took time and finished the last bits of preparation work required before being able to send “A Knight’s Errand in Germany” out into the world. “A Knight’s Errand in Germany” is actually a Teutonic Knights geocoin I purchased from Geocoinshop.de. Going into today, I had [...]
A Shout Out to Jerry
While traveling back from a vacation in South Carolina, I found the “”Shout Out to Jerry Flaming 8-ball Geocoin” in a cache at the Virginia welcome center off Interstate 77. Not wanting to return home without helping at least one traveling item make a journey further north, I liberated the item from the cache and [...]
“By the Light of a Star” — a Mariner’s Astrolabe Geocoin
When I returned home from vacation, a magnificant gift awaited me and was hidden among the bills and other bits of mail that had accumulated during our absense. It was the Mariner’s Astrolabe Geocoin I had preordered through CoinsandPins.com earlier in December. Used up until the 1700s, the true mariner’s astrolabes were developed originally as [...]
The Star Trek Squirrel
This past week, “Star Trek Squirrel” appeared in a cache a maintain on Bell’s Lane just outside of Staunton, Virginia, called “I-81 Exit 225 TB & Geocoin Way Station.” Being a big Star Trek fan and also being someone about to leave on a vacation, how could I not retrieve the little guy and bring [...]
