  1. Does that say "trackable at geocaching.com" I con't see it clearly but one of the letters looks like it goes below the line, like a p or a j or something?

    If you look at the flipside that line is also there, giving definition to the leg I think.

     

    Yes it sayes : Trackable at Geocaching.com

    Above the logo it's: Late Bronze Age Relic

     

    I post a picture of the originally Sun Chariot

    Appr. 1350 BC

    The sun chariot of Trundholm, called Solvognen in Danish, is a late Bronze Age Relic. (appr. 1350 BC). It is a bronze statue of a horse and a big gold disk with very fine carvings. The disk is placed on two spoked wheels. The horse stands on a bronze rod connecting it to the disk and runs on four wheels, the disk itself on two. All wheels have four spokes.

    The sun mooves from left to right and so pulls the horse the golden sundisk. The opposite disk shows a dark site to symbolise the night.

     

    It was discovered in 1902 in the Trundholm moor on the northwest coast of the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in Denmark, in a region known as Odsherred. (Here we held the event for with this coin was made.)

     

    The sun was the central in the religion. Bronze-Age-people imagined that the sun was transported over the sky in daytime. In the morning a fish lead the sun to a ship wich trasported it until midday. Here the horse took over and carried the sun to the afternoon-ship. A snake lead the sun to the underworld and down here the sun was dark. The dark sun was carried on the nightship until the morning, where the fish again took over. Like this, the eternety of the day cyclus, was maintenanced by the suns helpers – fish, horse, snake and ships.

  4. Great idea

     

    I just released a 'memobook (TBZ11H) to my nice. It will be called back in a couple of years when she's old enough.

     

    It will be fun to look at these TB's or coin's after their returns home I think

  5. We have something like that in Denmark too - "Pakkeleg" We use dices, a pair of 6' gives a present, that can be 'stoolen' after a decided time.

     

    It's a funny little game, usually entertainment rather than gain :angry:

     

    (Had to goolge for it too)

  6. I wish it was bug season here too - we don't event got summer, only rain rain and drown caches :D

     

    CONGRATIS to BigJohn and Dameace :angry:

    Joan, we get rain and waterlogged/underwater caches here too. I can't imagine how many bugs you have there, but the mosquitos here (Midwest USA) can carry you away!

     

    Congrats to those who have recieved the bug coins. Much better to be bit by those, especially since you can't catch West Nile Virus from the coins!

     

    So they pick you up an carry you away eh!...

    Here we get bored and saddle em and ride for the tourists...our skitters are so big when Ya gets bit you call em Chisel beeks

     

    Have tried the moquitoes in the Everglades (my camera was almost eaten) Going to try them in this september in the midtwest states. :D Hopefully you got a little sunny weather there.

     

    Conglaturations to all of you who got bitten by GOIN-bug.
