Haven't seen that one yet. Very cool!

[+simpler1773]

That's so cool! Love it!

Except that the <unprintable> search function will not accept short words, like "ring".

 

Fortunately, google does a better job of searching Groundspeak forums.

No, but it certainly will accept "Cache Shack" (4 results), "geocacher's ring" (1 result), and "trackable ring" (1 result).

Good point. Thanks.

 

Anyway, my view of the ring:

 

1. Interesting

2. I don't like personal jewelry.

3. Too expensive

[+synthacide]

for some reason I don't like them... not trying to knock the proprietor, I love trackables, but I'm not 100% on this one

[+HouseOfDragons]

Absolutely hideous! Not my taste at all.

[+Maingray]

Not for me either.

[+Sioneva]

Will it make you invisible?

[bogleman]

No but it will give you special powers when paired with your partners ring

[+Allanon]

Interesting idea, but not at that price.

COOOOOL! Now I want one!

 

I'll trade 350 of my smashed geocaching coins (mixed metals, but mostly pennies) for one in sterling silver. Do you think they'd go for that?

[+Snoogans]

Interesting idea, but not at that price.

Yep that's quite a mark up. That's why I'd only trade for one. I happen to know I could get one made and designed expressly for me in silver for a great deal less....

[+flask]

well, there's no tasting accountants.

[+Vater_Araignee]

To expensive

To wide

To thick

To tacky, and I wear a pinky ring.

Until GS decides to let us input coords to their trackable system then my opinion will remain that it is a pointless gimmick. Same thing for shirts, hats, vehicle decals, walking staffs, tattoos etc etc.

But hey, it takes all types. Right?

A bit high school grad ring for me, but hey, if you likes it, you like it.

But this has its own icon!

Sterling Silver: Mens-$268.84, Female-$242.75...Shipping and Sales Tax is not included, tax is based on your zip code

or

50 codes $75.00

Custom Icon $150

silver ring with engraving $25.00

I could rent time on a cnc mill to engrave the number and decorate for $10.00

Total $260

 

Keep in mind that the cache shack ring has to have a unique mold for every ring driving up the cost.

What they should be doing is leaving the ID field blank during casting then milling the ID in.

I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the forum for discussing trackable things that aren't travel bugs.
