How Many Coins In Closest 400 Caches (trackable)

[+Hula Bum]

So, I was curious (and bored) and decided to type in my home coords and then go through the closest 400 caches (20 pages) and see how many coins were out there. Well, that was depressing.....

 

20 pages=400 caches

20 pages=10.7 miles

 

It took me 11 pages before I found my first one. And all total a whopping

 

6 coins in 400 caches!!!

 

That's it, my mission has officially started. I will be stealing coins from Kealia, drilling them, attaching my tags on what to do with the coin and sending them off, hopefully it'll encourage others to do the same (that haven't already), and then maybe someday most caches will have coins moving in them!

There are 23 Geocoins listed in caches within 25 miles of my home. 4 of them are mine.

[+Team OORAH]

5 coins in 20 pages here....

[+Hula Bum]

25 miles, how many caches is that?

[+jcar]

Seven, but one is missing. Six USA and one generic coin. (If I filter out found caches it is four, but one is missing.)

 

But what surprises me is that I left a California Micro in a cache two weeks ago and no one has been to the cache since.

 

We have a couple cachers in the area that inspired me to start leaving more coins in caches as they have been leaving quite the variety. And yes, I've recently been drilling a hole and attaching a tag. I'm curious to see if that helps in the long run or not. I've also released a couple without drilling and tags, but a little early to tell if drilling helps or not.

[+nielsenc]

First coin, 3.3 miles, CA Micro. 35 coins within 20 miles.

 

Not too bad.

[ParentsofSAM]

Ok 25 miles is 197 caches 15 geocoins and 21 TBs or Jeeps

 

For 20 pages (which is 62 miles) 21 geocoins and 41 TBs or Jeeps.

 

I did not count any coins, TBs or Jeeps that were in event caches.

 

Only one geocoin is ours. None of our TBs are in the area.

[+sillygirl & jrr]

There are 17 pages of caches within 50 miles of our home cooridnates (and a few of them are on another island). There are 7 coins listed and 3 of those are missing (one the cache was muggled with the coin).

 

But after our CITO event we were left with 3 traveling coins (a USA, caught Red-handed, and Volunteer replica) and they will all be on the move soon. Okay, the last one isn't really a "coin," but the icon still appears if you log it!

 

There was also a traveling NJ coin at the event and someone released a Colorado coin in a cache near the event and it has already been snagged.

[+Hula Bum]

20 miles= how many caches? That has got to be more than 400 in the bay area.

 

The question was 20 pages/400 caches, trying to keep it the same.

[+4BOWS]

400 caches (20 pages) brings us to only 39.9 miles away from our home coordinates.

 

A total of 18 trackable coins.

 

A total of 50 travel bugs and 4 jeep travel bugs.

 

Didn't count the total number of coins that are not trackable, but the people in this area are dropping off personal coins into caches, so there are many coins in many caches.

[+4 Walls]

I counted 17 but when I checked the logs 13 of them were reported by recent finders of no coin in the cache............bummer

 

A lot of them disappear, so mysterious............

[+Hula Bum]

Wow 4bows, that's impressive!

4 walls, that's a major bummer!

This is interesting.

[+Shilo]

20 pages = 18.5 miles

57 TB/Jeeps(17 of which in TB hotel)

19 geocoins

4Coins (1st real coin was on page 12)

3Geoclone Coins

 

[+Myth]

Here (Leiderdorp, the Netherlands) a little more TB's but just as few coins...

 

20 pages = 29.3 km = 18.3 miles

 

91 TB

1 Jeep

13 Geocoins

 

I have a few coins traveling too, mostly in the US, none of them is stolen (yet)

[+guinea gal]

This is an interesting poll!

400 caches/20 pages from my home coords is 14.1 miles! I counted 55 TBs, 1 Yellow Jeep (missing) and 5 coins, 1 missing. But this is the end of a weekend so there may be other trackables out there that were picked up and not placed yet. For example, our group went caching after CITO-ing yesterday, and picked up 2 white jeeps and 1 yellow. And 2 different Euro coins did pass through here this month. (Non-geocoin collectors have been having trouble logging them because of the tracking and non-tracking numbers being side by side.) Nice seeing them, and moving!

[+Mystery Ink]

400 caches 20 pages all within 7.5 miles from home

4 coins

67 in 1 disabled cache but thats probably so the owner can pick them up out his cache.

150 at a now disabled event but those are also combined with some travel bugs and they aren't there anymore so those don't count plus Im not counting travelbugs just coins.

 

Basically 4 coins total is all.

[+Snowwolf75]

20 pages = 5.7 miles

11 coins (most are interesting ones, not the prolific USA)

35 TBs

no jeeps

(I made sure to exclude and coins/TBs presumed missing)

There are at least two people that fall into that radius that frequently buy, activate, and release custom coins. There's another two further east, but they're well out of that radius.

One of the coins is a German coin that I just received from a cacher in Germany and released last Friday.

It has been moved once but is still within 25 miles of its release point

[+Brian - Team A.I.]

1 coin in 11 pages. Geocoins just aren't the big thing up here, but hopefully that will soon change.

[+WWC-World's Worst Cacher]

I am inspired. I activated 6 coins over the last couple of days and will get them in caches this week. Thanks for doing this.

[+Night_Hawk]

3 coins are listed in the first 20 pages.

 

2 of them have been missing for a while and the other 1 will probably be picked up today

(it's in a new cache)

 

So it's safe to say that there are no coins in the nearest 400 cache's BUT you also have to consider

that to get 400 cache's you only have to travel 7.6 miles from my home cords. most of these are

urban micros and will never see a coin ever.

 

The next 20 pages only show 1 coin and it's listed as missing.

 

I know of at least 1 personal coin that's out there but I aint saying where it is

[+tokencollector]

The nearest 400 caches (31 miles) (not counting event caches) contain 72 jeeps and TBs and 11 coins. About half of the coins are USAs, and the others are more interesting ones. (I only checked some of the caches with a coin to see if it was there). I also learned that a cache containing my Frozen Bone geocoin was muggled after it was dropped , so it is one of the two geocoins that seem to not be in caches (these two are not included in the 11 above).

 

A fair number of coins are moving locally, but they do not tend to stay in a cache for more than a day or two before being picked up - for example, a MD coin we picked up in GA moved twice in three days since we left it, and it had been picked up again since yesterday.

[+ByrnedFish]

400 caches- 20 pages- 14.1 miles - 13 coins.

 

tons of TB's, didnt feel like counting but i know several of those have gone missing

[+welch]

a quick seach of the nearest 20 pages or 45.2 miles

shows 4 coins, and several TB. Didn't stop to check if anyone had reported them missing, I did notice that all four coins had different icons.

[+MetroGT]

400+ Caches.... over 35miles Radius....

 

3 coins... 3 different caches... 1 was muggled and is gone.

[+Damenace]

20 pages = 6 Miles with 5 coins

[+big rick]

25 miles, how many caches is that?

 

It is less than 100 cahces. Of course this is a TB query..

 

Today 19 coins in 400 caches within 14.7 miles

Edited April 25, 2006 by big rick

[+Renegade Knight]

I couldn't get past page 9.

 

There were 3 coins.

[+RustyBeerCan]

400 caches = 20 pages = 17.3 miles

 

9 Geocoins 6 of them are USA

 

74 Travel bugs

 

1 white jeep <---- It's gotta be there

4 star terrain, 7 mile round trip on foot to the top of a mountain with zero roads

 

 

Noted missing

1 white jeep

1 yellow jeep

1 usa Geocoin

[+SLO Trekker]

10 in 400 caches (20 pages, 34.5 miles), of which 3 are mine. The other 7 are all USA coins.

[+DresselDragons]

9 in 400 caches...20 pages, 22.9 from my home. Most are USA or PA geocoins. There were also a couple events, but I did not count them.

[+Fundamental]

33 coins in 400 caches.. 72,4km from my home.

[+The Fun Group]

400 caches = 50 miles (centered around Southern Maryland)

 

13 coins including:

1 Delaware

3 Maryland

1 Kansas

1 UK

1 San Diego

1 Bike Dog

5 USA

[+mintaka]

The story for Northeast Indiana is not so good.

 

400 caches = 30.8 miles

 

2 USA coins (1 missing)

1 LFD Red Handed coin (missing)

1 Nano Twins Generic Geocoin

 

Expanding the search to 941 caches (50 miles) only adds:

 

1 Kansas

1 Team Desert Eagle, which is a copy

 

So within 50 miles of my house, there are only 3 active, real coins.

 

Of course I wasn't counting event caches.

 

BTW, there were 3 White Jeeps listed. All missing.

Search it again. I just tossed 3 new ones into Bad Dawg's event on Saturday

[+GEO*Trailblazer 1]

Well if we are doing it for the week 400+ coins in

400 caches.

 

It is all how you play though.

[+rufnredy]

Counted 14 coins in the first 400 caches from me.

 

Ended up 17.6 miles away at that point.

[+Cryptid]

The closest cache to me has one, Bigfoot, then within 20 miles there's two USA. When you get close to Reno (86 miles) there's quite a few, especially here GCV195

I found my 1st and only Volunteer coin in there, and it's soon to be about 10 miles from my house when I finish a 4 part cache.

Edited April 25, 2006 by Cruiserdude

[+Renegade Knight]

When I started there wasn't a single travel bug within 100 miles. In time that changed. The coins are looking pretty good to me. Far more than at any time I've seen since I've started.

[+Ladybug Kids]

There are 134 caches within 100 miles of my home in Fairbanks (99701). There are two USA geocoins and two Caught Red Handed (released by me) in that area. A San Francisco and a Feb. Coin Club coin just got picked up from one of my new caches and should show up again in a new cache soon and I have powmia's Signal coin, so that makes seven coins actively circulating. There are also a couple of YJTBs and WJTBs. Coin to cache ratio 1:19.

 

On the other hand, if one looks at Anchorage area caches (99501) where 20 pages represent a radius of 63 miles, one finds four CITO coins, four USA geocoins, one Delaware, one London phone booth, one Geocacher U, one Native American, one Thanksgiving, giving a total of twelve coins in caches. There are also come YJTBs and WJTBs circulating. Coin to cache ratio 1:33.

 

I didn't count the over 100 coins that appeared at the Anchorage CITO event since those are in collections, not freely circulating.

 

I can't believe I just looked that stuff up .

[+ODragon]

400 caches in 15.4 miles

 

White Jeeps: 4

Yellow Jeeps: 2

Travel Bugs: 54 (at least)

Coins: 12 (10 different kinds)

[+Marky]

An interesting statistic might be what percentage of caches could actually hold a geocoin (i.e. how many caches aren't micros). I couldn't page through twenty pages without getting server errors when I tried so I gave up.
