+Coyote's Girl Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 I had the great fortune to have my life touched by a special teacher who kindled a love of geology in my soul. He was an amazing teacher fully steeped in awesomess, and I'd like to immortalize him (or at least a cartoon version of him) on a geocoin. He's the guy who wrote the Geology IS program that was used nationwide for high school students, and I was lucky enough to get him all to myself. Well, maybe not all to mself I had to share him with other students. Too personal, or does it sound interesting? Quote
+Dark Elf Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Sounds interesting, but what did he say about this? I would ask him, before I put his face on a geocoin Best regards Dark Elf Quote
+Coyote's Girl Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Yes, I'm trying to hunt him down now. It's been an arduous process, but I think I've located him. I just need to send a letter. Quote
SCP-173 Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Too personal, or does it sound interesting? I think the link to geocaching is very thin at best, but if you pay for it then it's your coin to do as you wish with. Edited May 13, 2009 by Vargseld? ™ Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Not all coins are caching-related; there's no rule that says they have to be. Certainly, there are folks out there who won't buy them if they're not, but there are plenty of coins that have a very tenuous connection to Geocaching -- in fact, a coin celebrating a good Geology teacher is closer to geocaching than many. ; ) And depending on what the teacher's favorite themes of Geology are, you might be able to work in a geocaching link anyway. So if you want to do it, and your teacher is cool with it, I say go for it. It'll be an intensely personal coin about teaching and I think that could be a pretty cool idea!

+Coyote's Girl Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 Well, the reason it crossed my mind is I was going to do some geocaching at some of the great places he took us on field trips. Unfortunately, that trip got cancelled and I sat around allweekend brooding. This took my mind off of it. Of course since I'm flat broke it'll probably wind up being a fimo figure of him that's a travel bug. Quote
+Kealia Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 You could always buy a couple of Earthcache Geocoins (there's a thread in here for them). Give one to him as a gift and set a couple free to travel so he can watch them, too. Just a thought. Quote

Also, I had to alter the shipping in the store, but the shipping is included in the cost of the coins - You can get to them here. Quote
