About this item:
madkiwiman was interviewed on Cache-A-Maniacs show 140. Listen to our interview with madkiwiman of Matthews, North Carolina. His geocaching name was inspired by the Mad Max movie. He learned of Geocaching from the Abomination novel by Colleen Coble. He started with the Garmin eTrex Legend. Now he's using the iPhone 3G with the Groundspeak Geocaching App. So far his favorite cache was TUBE TORCHER II (GCWA47). He's really looking forward to caching New Zealand when he returns for his next visit. On television, he used to watch the Father Ted series.Also mentioned in this episode is the Geocaching 12 of 12.Our "Tip for the Seasoned Cacher" comes from Listener Influence Waterfowl:"For various reasons a cache may need to be moved. I have had to do this when the grounds crew cut back the growth that hid you from the muggles on a near by trail. When faced with moving your cache leave a forwarding address when possible. Just write the coordinates to the new location on a slip of paper and put it into a zip lock bag. Place the bag where the cache was originally hidden, such as under the usual pile of sticks. Then if a cacher with the old coordinates comes to find the cache they will not be hit with a DNF. They can follow the forwarding address to the new location. They will thank you just like they did me! Remember to retrieve the bag after you think that there will be no more cachers with the old coords seeking the cache. That way it will not just become geotrash!"

Really excited to find this, as it was my first trackable item. It has found a new home now and hopefully, it'll have many more adventures!

I placed this coin in Power Outage (GC14W92) which is in Fort Collins, Colorado zip code is 80525. I tried to get it to log as "I placed it" but I couldn't get it to let me do it that way. How do I get it to drop off my inventory list and show it to be where it is?

Found in Sumter Junction, (my first find and an awesome location) will move on, probably to Colorado somewhere when I go for Christmas! (Yes I said Christmas, not "the Holidays. Is that ok?)
