+ECplus3 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's likely the most famous trackable in geocaching history: the Original Can of Beans. The first geocache was placed on May 3, 2000 in Oregon by Dave Ulmer. The items contained in the black plastic bucket included software, videos, books, food, money and a slingshot. The food included a can of beans. By October, the original cache had fallen victim to Department of Transport workers clearing brush. The Original Can of Beans (or OCB) is the last remaining piece of that original cache. When it was discovered, the can was quite damaged as it was partially buried and exposed to the weather. It was carefully straightened out, cleaned and treated with rust stopper and UV-resistant polyurethane. Now, it is taken to events around the world so people can see the history. The next stop will be this summer in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada at Maritime Mega IV (GC6MET1). The MMIV Organizing Committee requested that I design a geocoin to commemorate the visit. So now I present the Maritime Mega IV OCB Geocoin. Antique Nickel Antique Bronze LE Black Nickel A pre-sale for this geocoin will begin on Wednesday April 12th at 12:00 noon ET and run for the rest of the month of April. Coins will be shipped as soon as they arrive if you select the shipping option. If you know that you will be attending the Maritime Mega IV on August 5th, you can select local pickup and receive them at the PHDCoins.ca table. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 The pre-sale for the Maritime Mega IV OCB geocoin ends April 30th. If you will be attending the Mega on August 5th you can save on shipping and pick it up at the event. Lots of people have already chosen that option! Quote Link to comment
