Hi T.D.M.22 - we aren't ready to roll them out for the public just yet, but we agree that there is a lot of great potential there!

This latest batch of Minelab coins was a quantity of 1,000. So, there will now be more to discover in the wild as these get activated and sent out. We'll keep you posted on future releases!

Good news! Minelab has released another batch of geocoin sets, since demand was so high last time. The request a coin page just went live again today! It is open to U.S. and Canada residents who have not already requested a coin.

As promised, here is the list of 2013 themes for the Minelab Geocoin Photo Contest! Keep an eye out for Minelab coins in geocaches and enter photos online. There may also be a second release of Minelab coins, if you missed out on the first round! Keep an eye on the site. January: New discoveries February: Looking for love March: Luck be a Minelab April: Springing into something May: “May I Have this Cache” June: Take me out to the “cachegame” July: Let freedom ring August: Summer Nights September: Fall into discovery October: Cache or Treat! November: Happy Cachegiving!

The themes for the rest of the year should be released shortly. I will put them in the Forum as soon as I have them - Minelab will post them on Facebook and/or on their website. Thus far, the theme has simply been generic, so that all entries are eligible! Please continue to submit creative photos for consideration.

The little one with the Tracking # is to hide. The big one is yours to keep for display Thanks... Lot of friends on my group page were confused and thought the big one was to hide, but it didn't make sence to hide one without a number Re-posting this for people.

Hi JeePSer! I'm glad that your coins arrived. One is a small coin that has a tracking code, and the other is a non-trackable collectible piece (so that you get the best of both worlds!).

Colorado Cacher - we are in the process of mailing them out. It takes a while to label and post them, but they should all be sent within the next week! We activated one from HQ. Thanks for keeping tabs!

There were 5,000 Racketeer coins and around 2,000 of the Minelab coins, incidentally, the coins for both programs were all requested within just a couple of days. Keep an eye on the program - they may release more in the near future!

Hi T.D.M.22 and The A-Team, The A-Team was right about the timing, and we just followed-up with T.D.M.22. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

A new Geocoin promotion has launched for the U.S. and Canada, from Minelab metal detector company. No purchase necessary to participate! Checkout the Minelab promotion page on Geocaching.com. Request a free coin (set of coin + replica) while supplies last. And if you find/discover a Minelab geocoin, you can upload photos to enter to win prizes - including a TRIP TO MEXICO! Our friends at Minelab have a love for the outdoors and for treasure hunting adventures, just like we do!

That's a great story!! I wonder how often Geocachers and Metal Detector hobbyists run into one another!

Check out some of the fun photos on the John Grisham photo contest page! Be sure to add your Racketeer geocoin photos there, to win an autographed book and a chance at a $1,600 gold piece!

Hi Friends, just a note to let you know that the 5,000 Grisham geocoins have all been requested already! Hopefully you were able to request one, if you live in the U.S. and wanted one! Keep an eye out for them as they start to be released into the wild world of geocaches!

Let's try this instead, then: http://www.facebook.com/JohnGrisham
