This cache has been archived.

frivlas: It was fun while it lasted, but it is gone now. The location was not exceptional, and is now more exposed than it was before. Going, going, gone.

Geocache Description:

You are looking for a camo taped container roughly the size of a hockey puck.  May not be visible except from the correct angle.

I am currently fulfilling a challenge to create a series of new caches...one Traditional, one Letterbox hybrid, one Multi, and this Mystery
Why am I doing this?  I entered a contest on the forum to try and win a new coin.  I had to come up with some task to do to try and win.  I won and this is my challenge.  My prize for doing this?  This coin.  I think it was worth it!


This is a puzzle cache, the cache is not at the posted coordinates but is within 2.3 miles of them.

I am constantly amazed at the variety that exists in geocoins.  There are endless design, size, shape, and material options to consider when making a geocoin and frequently people choose to offer their coins in more than one metal for the serious collector.  Periodically, I like to reorganize my collection by coin genre and within that by designs or metals.  I have reached the conclusion that I have too many geocoins.  Here is my breakdown by category and metal:

Personal Geocoins (made as sig items for other cachers)
One Aluminum, six Antique Copper, eight Antique Gold, nine Antique Silver, three Bright Copper, seven Bright Gold, four Bright Silver, thirty-one Nickel, and ten Platinum plated.

Coin Club Geocoins
One Aluminum, one Antique Gold, three Antique Silver, two Bright Copper, two Bright Gold, six Nickel, four Tin, and one Zinc.

Event Coins
One Aluminum, one Chromium (I'd swear it was Nickel, but they labeled it as Chromium), and three Nickel.

Regional and State Coins
Three Aluminum, three Antique Silver, one Bright Silver, one Copper, two Gold, two Nickel, and two Tin.

Miscellaneous Geocoins
Two Aluminum and one Copper.
