+derschlings Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well, the Col certainly has a taste for adventure. Sir, if you're ever on this side of the pond and want a friend to cache with, feel free to call. Papa derschlings and his 7 derschlings will be honored to be your guide. Quote Link to comment
+creacher Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wow, what a story and what an amazing coin! Checked out the Col's profile and he has never logged a find on a cache - interesting... Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 When we were reading it sall also, we though wow this is kinda freaky, knowing the guy came in to your work and all. It is amazing the guy doesnt log his caches either. Hmmm....it is indeed a Mystery. sweetlife Quote Link to comment
+Frank n Beck Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Very odd story, its kinda cool in a weird way, LOL. We also checked out the profile page. Gonna be hard to track his movements, LOL. One thing for sure his poetry is just amazing. We'll be watching this maybe others will have run into him. Later. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 It sounds like the Colonel is attracted by dragons. Any cache having to do with dragon eggs, dragon nests, dragon mating rituals is bound to bring the Englishman. Lovely and ingeniously novel concept. Quote Link to comment

+Geo-Gophers Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Lovely and ingeniously novel concept. Couldn't agree more, another wonderful story and coin.......just brilliant! Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I read about this coin in another thread. As I said there and now here. What a great mystery coin and a cool idea on how it is being done. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Merging this with a second thread on the same subject, and changing the title to reflect the subject matter. Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Here's the thread I was talking about. Quote Link to comment
+Twm-y-tonnau Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Just got back from maintenance on our Last Welsh Dragon cache after the recent DNF secretly hoping to find one of these dragon coins - no such luck But as Merlin’s Hill cache was born from our cache we hope to head out sometime soon to check for signs at the other ’egg cache - Castell Allt-goch’ that was also born from our Last Welsh Dragon Cache. After all there was no log of found/DNF at Merlin’s so who knows! After searching gc.com for the coin I see there is only one other that now belongs to the Sussex Leprechauns also a very bazaar story attached to that, what’s going on? Thought it may have been a wind up especially after reading some of the logs in here but after reading the Colonels log on our cache page it all seems totally genuine. I gather Satellite Kid works for a printing company in Carmarthen which is not that far away from our cache and those said 'tomes and bindings' in the cache log all fit in, spooky or what! Ok so we have clocked up a couple of DNF on our way too, so if the good Colonel reads this - good luck on your next find. Must admit makes me feel human to know that I’m not the only one looses things while out caching, although its pens with me and not coins. Mrs Twm Quote Link to comment
+Satellite Kid Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Kewl coin...but a little freaky I must say...It is rather bizarre if not down right scary that this guy knows where you work. your right, that would be scarey...didnt think of it like that. Although I think it was just a coincidence as our printshop is the closest to Merlin's Hill where the coin was. I guess I was just in the right place at the right time luckily. Quote Link to comment

I will collect up all the links to the logs on the coin's page as well. feel free....good idea to put all the links together...I'll be interested to see where he goes next and read his logs...they're pretty cool. I just read the other DNF he had....excellent stuff :-) Hope he didnt mind me activating his coin now I come to think of it!!!?? Well, he hasnt sent me a nasty email yet so I guess I'm safe...although he does now know where I work!!! Quote Link to comment
+Fastest Turtle Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 WOW that is a cool looking coin!! Is it a new mystery coin? Here is the picture for those who can't see it ~Karen thanks! I'm not sure which of these I LOVE the most, The Mystery or this GEOCOIN Quote Link to comment
+Solan109 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 That is a nice looking coin, hopefully makes its way over to Sweden! Quote Link to comment
+Fastest Turtle Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Aaah The Cachington Dragon Geocoin SAUWEEEET I know the Colonel would love some old fashioned, down home, southern style hospitality !! With or without a coin, wouldn't it be great to just "visit" with this wonderful gentleman ?? !!! Quote Link to comment
+Steinwälzer Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Oh, I missed this Mystery Coin until now A dragon related Mystery Coin I love Dragon related coins!!! And what strange stories.. And best of all, the Colonel is wandering around Europe... I hope we will hear more great stories about his journey soon! Quote Link to comment
+Fastest Turtle Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Any more about the Cachington Mystery ???? Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I was wondering the same. Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 lurking and enjoying the stories so far... Quote Link to comment
+VirginiaGator Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) That is such a gorgeous coin! Interesting profile the Colonel has. Too bad I was on the wrong continent. On our last run we found a cache called Dragon Run. Didn't find a coin or scorched grass around. Maybe the scorched grass you found was where he dropped his torch!

+Cheesy pigs Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 This was just posted on the Australian Trackables Forum... How stunning is this coin??? I have never seen it before.....does anyone know what it is? About a week ago, I found an unactivated geocoin near one of my caches. I don't know how long it's been sitting there, as it was under a grotty old piece of burnt cloth. Oddly enough it features a red dragon, which is the title of the cache - that seems like too much of a coincidence, which makes me wonder what's up. I did a bit of a search, but can't find the source of these coins. Can anyone shed any light? Here are some images, although they don't really do it justice... Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 It's Colonel Cachington's Dragon geocoin. Not new, but very snazzy. Info here: Colonel Cachington Thread Quote Link to comment
