+team turfman Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Is it okay to take custom wooden nickels that previous cachers have left?? Or do the owners usually want the item to stay in the cache as a sign of their discovery? TIA! Quote Link to comment
+olbluesguy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 They are for you to take. A lot of people collect other peoples sig. items. Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I love to collect them and leave them. Sometimes when I see a signature item that someone has worked really hard on, or I realize they came from a long distance away, I'll talk myself out of taking it just because I want other people to be sure to see it too. It's all part of my psychosis, though. I love to hear from people who find my sig items. I get a lot of emails and comments from people who find and wear my lighthouse pins.

+Googling Hrpty Hrrs Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Those are the best items to trade! I love taking them, and hope other take mine. Quote Link to comment
+qattales Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) i paint my own nickels and love for people to pick them up.. love finding what others place..they are there for you to enjoy..and collect if you want. Edited March 21, 2006 by qattales Quote Link to comment
+GPSOkie Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Same here. I love to take sig items and I love to leave mine. I leave mine for fellow cachers. If a cache owner gets it, that is fine, too ! Quote Link to comment
+qattales Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 sometimes people do make their sigs into a traveler but you should be able to identify those. Quote Link to comment
+Lone Duck Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Finders Keepers, they are there for the taking. Quote Link to comment
+5¢ Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) I get a lot of emails and comments from people who find and wear my lighthouse pins. Bret I thought those were earings. I have been trying to get Luckybear a matching one so I can give them to her for her birthday as a set. Edited March 21, 2006 by 5¢ Quote Link to comment
57chevy Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I love collecting wooden nickels and sig. items, I have my own that I leave in caches, and hope people pick them up and enjoy. If anyone would like to trade sig. items let me know, I'm kinda partial to the wooden nickels but I also really enjoy homemade items. I'm always looking for new items and ideas. - 57' Quote Link to comment
+woody_k Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 For a while I collected sig items. Then realized I had way too many. So I got an ammo can and glued all those sig items onto the outside. I had some neat logs by the people whose sig items I had glued on the can. They all seemed to enjoy it. Quote Link to comment
+benjamin921 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 If it's in the box, take it! Quote Link to comment
+LDove Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Where do you get wooden nickels to make your own? I have been leaving dove pins that I bought through an internet Christian store and people love them. Quote Link to comment
+qattales Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) i buy mine from old time wooden nickels in texas do a search.. great people to work with. or email me and i will scare up the addy for you. Edited March 23, 2006 by qattales Quote Link to comment
Not So Lost Puppies Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Another alternative for sig tokens is inkjet shrinky dink plastic. I know that Michael's craft stores carry them, as I'm sure some others do. Quote Link to comment
+CarlfromOH Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Inspired by "Laughing Terry" I made up some sig items that are business card stock with graphics and on one side it says "Geocacher Working Nearby" "This car is not abandoned". You can put it on your dash in plain site. Quote Link to comment
Ghengis Jon Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I leave signature items specifically to be taken. Thats the fun of it. Hopefully it lands in the hands of a collector. Quote Link to comment
