    Uotrackers Personal Coin

    in Trackables

    Posted

    On another thread, I had indicated that your coin may be like a throwing star - rather pointy...

     

    I still agree that it is kind of pointy, but I must admit, it is a sharp looking geocoin! (no pun intended)

     

    This is a coin that I would love to find in a cache sooner or later! :unsure:

     

    Way to go UOT! :rolleyes:

    The problem with that is that there are so many (and I mean SO MANY) Icon Ho's....

    I guess we can’t call you a cache ho now can we?

     

    BUMP

    No, I haven't found oodles of caches, yet!

    I simply have other things that take precedence over traversing the woods for hours in the mountains of Pennsylvania.

     

    But, as far as me saying what you've quoted, I am simply stating what others have observed about themselves!

    If it has a tracking number, and I can drop it in a cache and track it's movements, then it is related by virtue of being a travel bug.

     

    We don't require that hitch hikers that have travel bugs attached be related to geocaching, so when I buy a coin, I don't look at it's relevance to geocaching, I look at the design.

     

    Trackable coins are travel bugs. That is the relation to geocaching for me.

    On one hand, I can see your side of the situation:

     

    Groundspeak sells codes to track the movements of an object (TravelBug & Hitch hiker)

    Groundspeak sells codes to track the movements of an object (Tracking Code & Geocoin)

     

    So, If I bought 500 Travelbugs, I could hold on to the actual Travelbugs & engrave the code on to McToys.

     

    Groundspeak is actually selling the codes & tracking service.

     

    The problem with that is that there are so many (and I mean SO MANY) Icon Ho's....

    ...So . . . I guess my question is, to those who feel that coins should be “geocaching related”, what does that mean in your mind?...
    I hope I am not the main aim for this question... But here is MY answer:

     

    (I think) The coin should meet ONE of the following criteria for a non-PC____ coin:

     

    1. Should be about the hike/trip or method of getting to your cache/goal (Like All Season Caching & Yes, Like Mine!)

     

    2. Should bring a geocaching or Groundspeak experience to mind when you see it (Like Torn Mailer Lost Coin or Geofood Coin)

     

    Again, just MY opinion...

    ... It's a forum and whether you asked for opinions or not they're gonna come out. I keep hoping that all the opinions out there will be taken into consideration as future coins are made...

    I agree with you HB... (MY opinion)

     

    I think that SOME type of relevance to geocaching should be explained for every geocoin produced that is NOT a Personal Coin.

    Given this is NOT a PC____, I feel (indicating MY opinion) that relevance should be explained for this coin.

     

    I also feel (again MY opinion) that the artwork on this coin, while somewhat typical of some astrological representations, is lacking "character". I will wait to determine if I'd like MY sign when/if it is produced.

     

    Thank you. :laughing:
