+Spencersb Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Same here, GOWT coin, I had something like numbers 25-56. Still have most of them, dummy here activated every one of them! Did you know there was a GOWT coin before there was a GOWT? We actually formed the group AFTER the coin was minted (single-handedly by our current Treasurer). Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 My first one was a 2005 Calgary, and it's one of my few original coins that I still have. It's not going anywhere. Quote Link to comment

Did you know there was a GOWT coin before there was a GOWT? We actually formed the group AFTER the coin was minted (single-handedly by our current Treasurer). I never activate my coins I was tempted to when I first got it because it was in the lower 10 wont say the exact number but I just kept it in my binder. That is interesting though about the GOWT coin comming out before there was a GOWT Edited November 5, 2005 by Mystery Ink Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 First found was a USA obviously, but it was a TB. First found I could keep was a Trez coin. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Technically, Moun10Bike Geocoin #001. The first one I added after that, though, was a DHobby version 1 - he gave me #001 after my order for Moun10Bike Geocoins #101-200 arrived at his house and vice versa. (Yes, he is a very nice guy!) The first geocoin I found in a cache was a Green Man geocoin, of which many were placed in caches set as part of "The Search." 1 Quote Link to comment
+DancesWithMoose Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Thr first coin I ever saw was a USA coin and that was traveling so we moved it along. The only other "coin" I found in the wild was Facedances wooden nickel. The first one I bought was a Katrina geocoin. Quote Link to comment
+ShowStop Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Besides the USA Geocoin, my first coin was a Geowoodstock coin given to me by f0t0m0m. Thanks Jim! Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Alabama 2004. I had posted that I had never found a geocoin in the wild when I was at about 700 finds and a kind soul sent me one. Because of that kindness that coin will always stand out. Quote Link to comment
Team Sidewinder Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 My first was the Moun10bike Ver 1. Sweet coin. Thanks Moun10bike for starting it all. Quote Link to comment

The first geocoin I found in a cache was a Green Man geocoin, of which many were placed in caches set as part of "The Search." This actually an interesting story that Dhobby1 has told me. I have a question, there is much talk about the very first geocoin. Both the Moun10bike and the Dhobby1 coin where being minted at the same time in fact he asked permission from you to use the back. How many days after you realeased yours did he release his? Is it fair to say if he held onto your package that he could have been the one to release the first Geocoin ? What an awesome friendship you two have formed by a simple mistake in shipping. And indeed he is a great person!! Quote Link to comment
+globalgirl Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 First geocoin ever? Ah that would have to be an original Moun10Bike wooden nickel - found in the nifty "Sparky" cache about a year ago when I was but a noobie with 19 finds. And just this week, I was blessed with a gift from the tricycle lad himself - of a WONDROUS v. 3 Moun10Bike dubloon that I shall forever treasure. Nonetheless, nothing will likely ever surpass the thrill of first spying that suh-weet wooden nickel in "Sparky". Quote Link to comment

I got a hold of Jon and asked what coin would you like me to have out of the 200, he said Don you can have any coin you would like. Just get those coin on their way to me!!!! Quote Link to comment

What an awesome friendship you two have formed by a simple mistake in shipping. And indeed he is a great person!! Since the package Dhobby got was starting with #101, I think Moun10bike had him beat by several months or more as he had already gone through 100 coins. Quote Link to comment

Don - I had no idea how closely related the two coins are. That explains the similarity of the front and the identical-ness of the back! I have #195 of Jon's and #159 of yours. Kinda fun that the numbers are the same, but jumbled. Fits the history quite nicely - kinda. Quote Link to comment

The first coin we found in a cache was a USA geocoin that is still circulating. The first personal coin we found was a Cache-Us-Clay wooden token. Quote Link to comment

+Pepper Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 If I'm not mistaken I beleive I found a Joy of Geocaching geocoin back in 2002 when I first started caching back in CA. Thought it was cool and placed it in the next cache I did and never thought twice about again. Then I moved to WA and hmmm...who is this Moun10Bike feller everybody's talken' about up here. Did some research and and saw he had a coin I thought cool, I'll have to try and get one. A year later things started changing and now well the rest is history... Pepper Quote Link to comment
