+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I found a beautiful coin near a cache today. One I have not seen before. Has anyone else found one of these? It was hidden as if just dropped near the Tour De Grant Wherigo cache I did today. It's a beautiful coin with a fairy sitting on an ammo can on the front & this sweet verse on the back: I stopped to drop a little token to leave a gift of something that's spoken. It should put a smile on your face, and make your caching a better place. TCDF I took some pictures where I found it: And posted a log to thank The Coin Dropping Fairy for her gift: my log for Tour De Grant Wherigo Once I got home I took some better pictures than the ones I took in the field. Here is a close up of the front & back: It is so shiny I had to take the picture of the back at a sharp angle so the message could be read. Thank you so much Coin Dropping Fairy!! This little token, this gift will be a treasure of my collection. It will grace my collection forever! Has the Coin Dropping Fairy dropped any coins in your area yet? CF30 Quote Link to comment

+LadyBee4T Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 WTG Sarah!! I'm so glad you found one! I like the message on the back but I must sheepish admit to a DUH moment when I had to think what TCDF might mean!! I actually thought about googling it but don't tell anyone that..... Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 I hope a lot more of these start popping up soon. A lot of folks here deserve such a beautiful coin! Here's a wierd thing: TCDF has logged three caches in & near St. Louis but so far only one coin found and not for lack of looking. Maybe the other finders are not forum frequenters?

I will be leaving more in my travels as I run from here to there. If you happen to find one, I hope you treasure it. Here in Europe we really believe in fairytales.

+joranda Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I had seen that there was 3 sightings of the fairy north of me. It was a 2 and a half hour drive so I got together with another cache to make the drive up there to see if we could get lucky and make a day of caching out of it. When went to all 3 spots that had been visited and it was at the second stop that we got lucky. MutherAndSun and myself was at the cache site when JustUsTwo came walking up, they too had seen the logs and was going to check it out themselves. We all started looking for it and I was the lucky one who came up with the coin. Thanks Coin Dropping Fairy for such a great gift. It will always stay in my collection. Quote Link to comment
