About This Item

GeoCoin

This geocoin commerates the oldest cache in Minnesota. Alvin's Phone Line was placed in November of 2000. The picture on the coin is the scene at the hide, chair and all. It doesn't get any better than that.

UPDATE: June 2014

This geocoin went missing over five years ago.  It is now a blaze orange dog tag.

Update: July 2021

This geocoin went missing at which point I put out a replacement which lasted a year. Well, It's been five years and I'm releasing it into the wild again and this time as a travel bug buddy dog tag.

Noticed this in the ammo can as I was about to close it up. Really enjoyed the view from Campcache. Will try to find a good place to move it to.

Found it in a cache way too close to the road. Will move it and make sure I drop in a a cache as far from the beaten path as it wants to be. Thanks!

I'm happy to find a new trail for this one. Cool coin ( sad when they disappear) I wonder if the person who has it knows anything about it.
