+joranda Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I came across a picture of "The Shadow" coin. It seems to be a new version of the old coin that is only found in Indiana cemeteries. Has anyone else come across one yet? Quote
+intolerable Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 The Phantom Cacher This one, correct? I want this coin about as much as I want a darthi. And that's a whole lot I didn't know there was a newer version! Quote
LoriDarlin Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 The Shadow coin isn't The Phantom Cacher coin. Two totally different coins. Just look up both on one of the coin trading sites and you will see the difference. The shadow coin has long been on my want list, but until I get to Indiana....guess I'll keep pining for it lol I haven't seen or heard about a new one until now. Do you have a picture of it Joranda? Quote
nebukatneza Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 would like to see a picture, too if possible! Quote

+Cav Scout Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 (edited) I found this Shadow coin today! Its different than the old one. Man was I lucky to get this one. I found it at GCVKDX in Indiana. Edited May 31, 2008 by Cav Scout Quote
+Cav Scout Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Here's the front and back of bothe the new and old coins . Quote
Son of Cyclops Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I would love to get one of these coins looked all day at MWGB last year with no luck! Quote
+Cav Scout Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Did you search the ISQ caches? I would love to get one of these coins looked all day at MWGB last year with no luck! Quote
+Six Little Spookies Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 It seems like there are more and more of these Mystery Coins popping up all over. Very cool. We managed to persuade the Geo_Leprechaun to visit the Florida Panhandle, I wonder if we can get any of the others to stop by... Quote
Son of Cyclops Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yes I did, I actually only had ISQ caches in my GPS and found all of them within 20 miles of the event. Quote
+Cav Scout Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yep, you gonna see a lot of copy cat mystery coins. Only a few are true mystery coins . It seems like there are more and more of these Mystery Coins popping up all over. Very cool.

+LadyBee4T Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Last year unfortunately I didn't have much time for caching at the Bash but I did manage to see a couple that were found. This year will be different and I hope to cache a lot and maybe find one of these little beauties!! Very nice coin -- both versions! Edited June 1, 2008 by LadyBee4T Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Here's the front and back of bothe the new and old coins . these are beautiful coins. graphically simple. the hand in the version the left is quite compelling. "who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man? the shadow knows." Quote
Capt Howdy Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I found this Shadow coin today! Its different than the old one. Man was I lucky to get this one. I found it at GCVKDX in Indiana. Anyone else find it funny that cav scout found a shadow coin at gcvkdx and didnt log it, than the phantom logs a find at gc101kz, yet in his log posted the coords for gcvkdx and shows pictures of that cache while trading his phantom coin for a shadow coin....hmm...interesting!!!!! Quote
+Cav Scout Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Anyone find it strange that Capt Howdy is using a sock puppet acount here? Quote
+Are_we_there_yet? Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Anyone find it strange that Capt Howdy is using a sock puppet acount here? Actually, I work with Capt. Howdy. I can assure you that this account is not a sock puppet. He just values going out to find caches more than logging them on a computer. Kelly (Are_we_there_yet?) Quote
+Professor Grumbledor Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Yep, you gonna see a lot of copy cat mystery coins. Only a few are true mystery coins . It seems like there are more and more of these Mystery Coins popping up all over. Very cool. We managed to persuade the Geo_Leprechaun to visit the Florida Panhandle, I wonder if we can get any of the others to stop by... Cav Scout - I think you should edit your post to read 'in my opinion' And pray - just what in your opinion are the only true mystery coins? The Shadow coin is certainly a mystery to me -as are all the others Quote

We still havent lost hope in finding one some day. We still are a little bummed with just missing one this year while in Indiana for MWGB. We were so close but yet so far away. The Shadow is probably been making his rounds since it seems so fitting since Halloween is just around the corner. Hope you do rest up and get some sleep, your work is cut out for you already for today. Barry and Valarie of sweetlife P.S. Shadow keep up the good work and all of your helpers too. Quote

She wanted to thanks The Shadow and The Georgia Spirit Quest Cachers for the Great Coin.... I'm going to have to step up my ISQ caching and find one of this version.... 1markymark1 [/img] We were in the area of a few caches today and decided to do some cache maintenance while we were over by them. Both of the caches are MSQ's and hadn't been visited in awhile so we wanted to check and make sure they were still there and that there was plenty of swag and everything was dry. Our second stop of the day was Michigan Spirit Quest #21 - Battle of the Bulge GC1DVA2. I was pulling out some of the less desirable swag in the container when I pulled out the Shadow Coin. I couldn't believe what I had in my hand. I had seen pictures of this new Shadow Georgia coin but now we had found one by pure luck. They are awesome looking and I love the detail on the back. I wanna give a big thanks to the shadow for swinging up into Michigan and dropping off at least one in a cache. So yeah Mark you are going to have to step up your ISQ caching because they have definitely migrated north and made it into Michigan now. Quote

I stepped it up early this morning on my way to work in Toledo, OH. About fainted on my third or fourth SQ cache when the Georgis Spirit Quest Coin fell out on the ground.... This one was found in Ohio... I heard that they have been found in Wisconsin Spirit Quest caches too. There are more than one out there because I saw that a Lady had found one too.... 1markymark1 Edited February 9, 2009 by 1markymark1 Quote

+sweetlife Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 The shadow must be looking for caches that need maintance, we stopped by one of ours today that had a DNF back in January, but since then the snow melted and the cache was easier to be found. the melt must have moved it a bit, but still found it. We brought a new one along to replace or upgrade the container, to our suprise as we checked the old container we found a silver Shadow coin inside. Thanks Shadow for visiting Wisconsin, and we are glad that we decided to stop and do maintance today Barry and Valarie of sweetlife Quote
+joranda Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 Maybe the shadow will come by Illinois and visit the Illinois Spirit Quest that I have started. Quote
+LZ33 Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Wow, I’m going to go out and buy some lottery tickets. I don’t hang out in the forums and when I got my second gold coin and came to this thread to post my appreciation to the Shadow and saw that I wasn’t the first to get one, being in Georgia, I would have become very anxious. Thanks again Shadow. Edited February 15, 2009 by LZ33 Quote
