What are those non-trackable wooden coin signature item things called?

 

In Czech they appear to known by the abbreviation CWG.

Any idea what the full name in Czech is?

 

 

Thanks

This might / might not answer your question...

So it looks like it might simply mean: 'Czech Wood Geocoin' :rolleyes:

 

A friend who (who is a new cacher) currently lives in Czech Republic had picked one and wondered what it was.

 

A previous maintenance log on the cache said:

 

Vymenen logbook za nový a pridal jsem 1x CWG.

 

Which Google tells me means:

Exchanged for a new logbook and I added 1 CWG

 

Thanks

I only noticed recently that one of the main online UK geocaching shops is selling these sorts of things, customised, for a pretty reasonable price IMO (disclaimer: I have no connection with the retailers, other suppliers may be available!). I would quite like to come across such tradable items while out caching.

In fact originally CWG is non-trackable and there are a lot of them: http://www.svetgc.cz/cwg Many geocachers collect them or treat as swag.

CWG has followers in Slovakia (SWG: http://www.svetgc.cz/cwg/slovak ), Hungary (HWG) and Poland (PWG: http://pwg.geocaching.pl/ ). Recently appeared trackable personalized Polish Wooden Geocoin avaliable here http://ftfshop.eu/index.php?id=194&L=0&backPID=188&tt_products=119
