+Red Otter Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Like many in these forums, I have grown to love geocoins! I am in the process of having my first coin made (more to come on this soon...), but I loved the idea of handmade personal coins, so I decided to take a shot at making some. I am calling them GeoSpirits and you can see pictures of the first 3 I've made below. Each "coin" will be unique (some will look similar, but each one is carved completely by hand and from scratch) and I have no idea how many I will make. They are made out of a clay polymer that is subsequently baked and glazed. Supposedly they are strong enough that you can drill holes in them after they are baked. I was interested in getting a little bit of feedback on these (like them, hate them, how to make them better, or whatever). I am also trying to figure out whether or not to make them trackable some how. I know I can't use regular geocoin numbers because they are not made of metal. Any ideas would be appreciated.

+larry739 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Pretty cool looking. If you want a place to track them you might try http://sigitem.com/ Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) Red Otter, You did a nice job and to have handcarved them is great! If you want to make them trackable, get in touch with Marky (sigitem.com). If you are happy with your work, then that is the most important thing Did you put your cacher name on the back? You won a petroglyph but if you want to make a trade for another one for one of yours, I'd be happy to trade with you Tsun Edited March 17, 2007 by tsunrisebey Quote Link to comment

+JFandC Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 They look very good. I would be interested to trade one for one of my pewter signature coins. Quote Link to comment
+CachingCoins Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 These are pretty cool. I'd buy. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Very nice! Hi five!! But I wonder if they'd travel much. I suspect they'd be grabbed as collectable sigitems. Quote Link to comment

+tiki Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Great coins! Nothing is cooler than a coin crafted by hand (but I may be a bit biased) Quote Link to comment
