My nine-year old son just learned about Geocaching this past Friday evening at a Cub Scout Pack Night.
Off course right after the meeting, which ended at 8:00 PM – EST, he was super excited about venturing out to geocache! We ended up going this past Saturday afternoon right after soccer practice to two different spots, however, it was raining, and we did not have much luck.
On Sunday afternoon, after his travel soccer game (the kids tied 3-3), we met up with two of his buddies at the park, who were practicing archery. We stayed at the park for a few hours and then I took the three boys geocaching (they are all in the cub scouts) – two at the bear rank and the other boy I believe is a Webelos.
In any case, we ended up in Baldwin, New York, on Atlantic Avenue, and they located their very first Geocache (GC2WEX5). Long and behold, we located your trackable along with the Celtic ring and the laminated document. We tried to log it in as a found item at the time, however, it appears that the trackable was no longer active as it was thought someone did not keep the trackable going.
In doing further readings on it, it appears that the ring has traveled around the world, landing in Germany, China, Austria, Canada, Ireland and possibly some other places which I cannot recall off the top of my head.
In reading your story, we figured the owner (GA Cacher) would like to be reunited with his ring, Geocache Trackable dog tag, and laminated document to pass onto his son sooner than later.
We sent a message and connected with him.
The ring is on it's way back to Ireland with a gentleman who has committed to bringing the ring to the Blarney Stone at the castle.
We have asked permission from the owner to hold onto the ring to show to the rest of the den at Pack 206 in Merrick, New York the amazing trackable the boys located once it comes back from Ireland.
Again, this was an exciting find as it was the boys FIRST find :)
Thank you for sharing it!!!
