I found a missing geocoin in a lonely cache. Made my day!

[+Wanderschuler]

I had a good story today, concerning trackables. This morning I hiked out to a lonely cache that hadn't been found in over 2 years. One mile there, one mile back, all on a trail system in a state park. The large cache was icky, so I turned it upside down to dump out the dampness. Suddenly the most gorgeous geocoin I've ever seen falls out of the cache. The geocoin was shaped like a butterfly, gold with purple accents. I tracked it right there in the field...It had been missing for 5 years!! Time to get this butterfly flying again.

How fun! I'm so glad to hear you saved it.

Your wonderful story proves some trackables do come back and, that there are good cachers who do the right thing. I suspect you Really made the coin owner's day!!!
