+nefesh Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Savoy, you're so good at keeping this thread alive. It's so great to see these coins. Haven't been able to get out in the last month, but I'm hoping the coins logged in the caches my next time out will actually be there. Quote Link to comment

Ahh thanks Merchlinskys I placed the coin into a cache in Toronto (figure it will get picked by a visitor to the city maybe one thats going or returning to the US). BTW it mission is to go to Meadville, I was in Dubois in June wouldn't you know it. Quote Link to comment
+kini_ont Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 So by the last post you figured out I dropped the coin right but we were in Toronto to attend a Moody Blues concert (one of my all time fav's) and it was a beautiful summer night, hated to waste it waiting in line to get in - off we go caching - here's what we found when we dropped the other and the mission is a great one too oh the concert (5/5) hey does that count for 5/5 for cachin as well Quote Link to comment

+seekerfamily Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Here is a picture of the coins we found in caches today. Thats right, no picture. Three caches found with coins listed in them and no coins actually found. Will have some pics of recent coin finds soon. Quote Link to comment

That happens A LOT, but we're happy to hear stories and see pictures of those "survivors" still out there and moving around!!! We hope you'll post your 'I Still Here" pictures soon. Take care!

+fuzziebear3 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 You found an Earth Turtle (or is it a baby Loggerhead?) in a cache? Wow, I would love to see one of those. Quote Link to comment
+seekerfamily Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 You found an Earth Turtle (or is it a baby Loggerhead?) in a cache? Wow, I would love to see one of those. It was a baby loggerhead coin, second we have found. Will add another pic this evening. Beautiful coin, very colorful. Quote Link to comment
PastorJon Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Sorry the pictures aren't great... haven't figured out the best way to take them yet... And the nano coin is in its coinflip... which is taped shut (I assume, in hopes that it won't get lost!) The larger coin is a 2007 Compass Rose - TB1JV25 The smaller coin is a Europe Nano Geocoin - TB2WXK2 Quote Link to comment

+goosefraba1 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Took several backgrounds to get a good macros pic... too shiny lol. Lord of the cache ring coin Quote Link to comment
+SgtMikal Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I have been lucky to have a few coins gifted or adopted to me through the Todie's Wild Ride campaign (please see that thread...it's AMAZING), and have had a lot of fun watching them move around and spread their messages. Well, today, a first! One of the coins that was released by Rockin' Roddy and geopigs on my behalf has found its way to me! That was really kind of exciting to know that this coin was given to me as a kind gesture, and then travelled 2200 miles through caches in 6 different states, and landed in my hands! Thanx to everyone for the fun!! I'll try to add pics soon... Quote Link to comment
+seekerfamily Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 That's cool SgtMikal. We have not had any make it this way. Would like to show a few coins but no luck on a recent caching trip. Seven listed trackables and none were found in the caches we visited. Even worse, we have had 2 caches of ours go missing in the last month. Seekerfamily Hope to find some coins so we can post some pics soon. Quote Link to comment
+kini_ont Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 It's been a long time since finding a coin in a cache that I had forgot about this neat thread Found this coin a couple of weeks ago, as you can see it does have a special mission so to find a good one to drop into was going to take some research, got into a cache today that was part of or close to the path of soldiers walking, more like clearing, to establish a British Naval post on Lake Huron (Georgain Bay) during the War of 1812 Quote Link to comment
+murphyrulez Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I picked this up the other day, I love it so much... I want to be on the beach so bad. Instead I'm stuck here in Michigan. I'll pass it on soon, when I stop dreaming about it! Quote Link to comment
+Savoy Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Found this with my daughter yesterday... I'm not much of a 'cat' fan, but this "Cool Cat" coin was, well, just cool! Quote Link to comment
acadiahiker Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Went caching today off-island, before the snow flies. Found this cachecootie coin and will move it along. Quote Link to comment
+seekerfamily Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Have not seen any posts here in a long time but wanted to show a pic of coins found while caching last week Quote Link to comment
+Savoy Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks for posting these... we know that THEY ARE OUT THERE, but of course, much more rare than those sitting in our homes/collections. Very cool looking coins! Quote Link to comment
+brewmeister Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Some really sweet coins. I have found wayyyy to many to list. from the Fallen Heros coins, the UN diabetes coins, various country coins, and many others that I can't even remember. All have moved to other caches, hopefully they are still out there. Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Found this one yesterday... the back says "He who steals this coin shall be cursed... he who passes this coin shall be rewarded. Well... I will have to post it later because the image upload system is down for maintenance. Sorry Quote Link to comment

Be sure to post the picture of it when you get a chance... we'd love to see which one this is! Maybe 'this one'? Edited February 21, 2010 by Savoy Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) It is kind of like that one... Just the metals are reversed. Sorry for the IPhone pic... I don't know where our camera is. Edited February 21, 2010 by goosefraba1 Quote Link to comment
acadiahiker Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 After a long winter, it was such a JoY to be out caching again today. Besides 2 nifty pathtags, I also retrieved a Cow Tipping Geocoin which will be off and running again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Found a geogem today... never seen one before.... and yes I just pulled up a thread that has been abandoned for a year. (and yes I just stole a picture instead of taking one of my own... I know I'm lazy... bad zach.... bad.) Quote Link to comment
+seekerfamily Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Thanks goosfraba1 for bringing this thread back. Was thinking about this one recently mostly all the caches that we visit with coins and travel bugs listed in the inventory that are not in the cache. On a recent trip to Orlando we visited 6 caches that had a total of 38 trackable items listed in inventory and only found 2 actual items. Here are some coins that we actually did find in caches in the last few months: http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/display/048fa5f2-9e7c-4422-8cf0-4b8a43c20765.jpg My link The middle coin is from GATOULIS My link Edited May 31, 2011 by seekerfamily Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I know that it really is a rarity to find a trackable.... I just try to keep watch for caches near my home and swap out trackables when I can. I wish that there was a way to "earn" rights to clean up a cache page that shows trackables that are not in the cache.... but I also realize that these rights would be abused by somebody in the community Anywho..... any other coins found in the caches recently?

+L_Y_H Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Found 2 coins in a cache last week : Freezing Geocoin : And a Superjhemp Geocoin, I will add a photo soon. Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Found 2 coins in a cache last week : Freezing Geocoin : And a Superjhemp Geocoin, I will add a photo soon. Kinda interested in the Superjhemp coin... is it made from hemp? Or is that somebody's tag? Quote Link to comment
+L_Y_H Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 No, Superjhemp is a comic hero from Luxemburg : Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Lmao.... Is Luxembourg really big enough to have a superhero? Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Could it be??? I actually found a coin in a cache today. Crazy. It is a Canadian micro. Will post pics later and then help it move along. Anybody else find coins in the wild lately? Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Found a coin in one of my caches yesterday.... appears to be Kansas Sunshine 2009... maybe a group project? Quote Link to comment
+QuiltinNana Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Found a geogem today... never seen one before.... and yes I just pulled up a thread that has been abandoned for a year. (and yes I just stole a picture instead of taking one of my own... I know I'm lazy... bad zach.... bad.) I have a clear one of these that I use to log mileage of our caching adventures. They aren't too expensive, but after having my first coin go missing after it's first move last year, I'm leary of releasing anything else right now. Quote Link to comment
+aka Momster Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thank you for bumping this one up. I was thinking about this thread a few days ago and just now noticed it had been grabbed from location unknown and dusted off. I found my first World Traveler coin in a California cache soon before leaving on vacation. It was the blue version. I dropped it in a Virginia geocache during our trip. Then on the final geocache find of our vacation, I unexpectedly found a green World Traveler to bring home with me (it hadn't been logged into the cache yet, when found). Both are well-traveled coins at over 10,000 miles each. And both have now moved well away from where we parted. Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 very cool.... and I thought this was beginning to be my own personal thread Quote Link to comment
+aka Momster Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 very cool.... and I thought this was beginning to be my own personal thread Want it back now? Frankly, I am tired of hearing what seems to be the prevalent forum voice that there are few trackables out there. I have moved or discovered 300 TBs and 230 or more wild geocoins (wild = not proxies, from collections, personal items/nametags) in 3.5 years. It can't be attributed just to overwhelmingly good karma. At least I don't believe so! Quote Link to comment
+Savoy Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm bring up this thread again in hopes we can merge the two threads into this one. ******************** Found this one in a cache not too far away from home GZ. On a cold day, it was fun to find. Thanks for sharing it! Quote Link to comment
+Six Little Spookies Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Found a Crake Symbology coin yesterday and then dropped it off later in the evening. I didn't think to get a photo of it. Coins are out there... Quote Link to comment
+Savoy Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Cool... I have one of these on the way from a friend. Here is a picture of one I found out there - its a very nice coin. Edited December 25, 2011 by Savoy Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Awesome.... now maybe when it starts to warm up a little I can add some more cache coin pictures on here. I plan on releasing some soon. After I get everything ready for them. Quote Link to comment
+Team Pixos Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well my total disappointment today was a cache listing an inventory of 11: andnot a single one in it. :-( Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well my total disappointment today was a cache listing an inventory of 11: andnot a single one in it. :-( Yep.... been there before. Sometimes it helps to check the coin logs online to see if they have been placed there recently. That will normally help in figuring if they are really there or not. Quote Link to comment
