Current Goal

The mission of this Portuguese Geocoin is to travel across Europe (or the world) and be back to our own cache "Fidalga" (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=88365afd-2584-4fff-a665-44e5178f1808) by July 2008 (1 year after activation). If the cache "Fidalga" is not active on July 2008, the geocoin should return to Lisbon area (Portugal) by that date.

Since the coin was M.I.A. for 4 (!!!) years and it's now back it was not possible to accomplish the original mission.

The new mission of this coin is to arrive at my hands until August of 2013. I would rather receive it personaly from another geocacher rather than have to fetch it from a cache.

If you put hands on the coin and are traveling to Portugal, just send me a message so we can arrange it.

The coin is now in Lierop, away from the border. But not too far and I will make sure it goes to Belgium or Germany this time.

Dropped it very close to the Belgian border. Let's hope it makes the jump abroad.

In that case, we'll try to drop it in Belgium or Germany (we intended to take it to the Dutch coast this weekend). Might take a bit longer before it gets dropped though.

Hi there,

Can someone please try to put it near a country border, or an airport?

We would like to see this coin travel across several countries :D

Thanks,
Brigada51!

This coin reminds us of our vacation in the beautiful city of Lisbon a few years ago. We'll try to find a new cache soon.
