Today’s treasure seekers have reinvented the pursuit as the perfect hobby for the tech-savvy outdoor enthusiast— geocaching. The geocachers mantra “If you hide, they will come” has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to participate in this global treasure hunt. Geocaching is fun involves one or a group of friends, a hand-held GPS, what is a geocoin and some hiking shoes. That’s why most people find it ideal to fake a location and travel worldwide. If you want the same and want to simulate your GPS movements, Dr. Fone- Virtual Location is one of the best available.

Start GeoCashing to earn real money with our new MapBox interface. Proof of Location simplifies obtaining cryptocurrency in a fun and active way! Simply turn on your GPS and head to the location to collect the GEO. Once you have successfully grabbed or retrieved the Geocoin, it will remain in your online inventory until someone else grabs it from you or you place it in a cache.

Reviewer/Moderator/Lackey Coins are another form of signature items over the years these have their own following. Many of them have taken the time to create their own signature item. A geocoin typically has a diameter of 1.5 inches (38 mm) to 2 inches (51 mm) and a thickness between 0.098 inches (2.5 mm) and 0.16 inches (4 mm).

Above you see a picture I took the other night while leaving Harbor Freight. I was in the right place at the right time to see a blazing orange sunset reflecting off the mountain. I have had a few great experiences with them right now. After being very busy for a while, I am taking the slow down to take a break. I have been taking a few pictures and spending some time trying to get a few things fixed. Time to put the grill back on the truck after a transmission line broke and I replaced it.

How do I log a trackable?

1. To do this, look carefully on both sides of the coin AND the edge of the coin.
2. The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to becompletely stable.
3. Geocache has been there for more than 20 years and was developed by Jeremy Irish, Bryan Roth, and Elias Alvord.
4. We enjoy it so much, several of us here have joined in these adventurous pursuits.
5. If you find a coin you should try to identify if it is trackable.
6. Tracking codes can be found on the item directly, such as written or engraved, or attached to it via a tag.

In no way should you keep it for yourself without explicit permission from the owner. Many geocoins have been lost to people who have held onto coins for themselves. Other websites for trackable coins have included the 2002Canadian geocoin,5 Utah geocoin,6 Oregon State coin,7 and sigitem.com. Power trails have appeared in the last few years. People have started to travel great distances to accomplish challenges, trails, etc.  Geotourism is popular in some ares. I see (in Utah) a large number that travel to accomplish their caching goals.

What Are Collectable Geocoins?

I know I just said to only collect unactivated trackable coins. But, the exception to that is if YOU are the owner of the coin. ESP Boss has two coins from our original EatStayPlay.com Geocoin minting that he has kept. They are activated and he is the owner, but the coins remain in a frame on the office wall. Posting photos of geocoins can be fun, but care should be taken to avoid showing the Tracking Code to reduce the risk of Armchair Logging.

If you take something, leave something of equal or greater value and record your visit in the logbook. We provide a range of options in terms of materials, designs, and special touches like enamel styles and engravings. Whether you decide to go for hard or soft enamel, dual plating, or gold/silver accents – the choice is yours. With features such as customized minting and background textures available too, let yourself be creative and create something one-of-a-kind today.

Geocoins are found using a hand-held GPS

I also posted 12 photos that I took on Jan 12th. I would ask people to please take the time to think. There are problems, but I enjoy what is out there. Some can be grabbed as I drive by, and others with a ton of work. I have been thinking about it more as I approach #3000. I don’t know where/when but I will find something that I want to do.

1. Coins with the size of 1 inch (25 mm) are called microcoins, because they fit into microcaches (e.g. film canister).
2. Few people had them, and maps were another expensive addition to the models sold.
3. Some coins will travel in some kind of pouch with a piece of paper explaining that it is a geocoin.
4. Now that you have the number write it down before trading it with your friend or dropping it off in a cache.
5. You can also find geocachers at events who sell coins as a side business.
6. I decided that I would list this to acknowledge his feat.

A cache that kids would easily find and steal. So many travel bugs ended up in some kids dresser on in the trash. Some coins were stolen, there are a number of cachers out there that started to hoard coins. Stolen coins that were traveling that found their way into a collection. The older (I mean pre-2004) cachers sit down and start yearning for the old days.

Geocaching: Retrieving / Grabbing a Trackable Item (Geocoin or Travelbug)

So much fun, so busy, but I know next week is the end of the month and I will be busy again, so if I do not do anything now I won’t do it for a while. In the end if you are playing the game for one of these reasons your foolish. The dynamics and the groups playing have changed. If you love the powertrail, then do the powertrail. If you love the mountaintop, and have the physcial ability, then hike to the mountaintop.

The cost to make a personal coin is fairly high. Physical alteration reduces the value of the coins, presumably making them less valuable to steal. Although geocoins are relatively cheap to produce, the artwork and rarity of certain geocoins may making them a target of theft. Some geocachers also collect geocoins, carrying them with them to events for other geocachers to discover. To let others know, locate the cache on geocaching.com.

So caching was in the hands of the well off, well to do (for the most part). When they were placed they were planned out, well stocked and people traveled to them on purpose. When you arrived you brought something to trade, you knew how many caches you wanted to go to. Each cache had to be put in by hand, usually off of a printout that you carried with you. Downloading a Pocket Query into a GPS was unheard of. Working in the forums I have seen two threads repeated over and over.

Some of them have been rumored to sell at values in the thousands of USD. Geocoins are trackables that come in the form of a coin. Usually made from metal, some wooden varieties do exist. We also have instructions for how to pick up a trackable item. Once a geocoin has been purchased, you will need to activate the coin.

Though many people are looking at it, there are not many actually guessing. I am toying with the idea of making a geocoin this year, of my own. If someone would buy it, I may consider it. I have caught a few pod casts this week, nothing great to mention, but I liked podcacher a lot, as usual. I even broke down and sent them money $3, but I am sure it adds up.
