Current Goal

My mission is to stay as a resident geocoin in my owners cache. (dECrYPTiD) Please discover me, but leave me for the next finder to discover.

Why a Resident Coin?

Cachers ask: Why have a resident coin? Why not let the coin travel? The answer is simple. Finding a cool geocoin is such an awesome experience for everyone. When finding a hogbot cache, it is pretty much a guarantee that you can also discover a new resident geocoin for your inventory. It makes the experience of finding a hogbot cache that much more exciting and worth the adventure.

Travelers often go missing never to be seen again. While I do have travelers that are out in the wild getting some miles I bought them with the specific intention to travel. They typically have a theme or promote the cache they were released from. Resident coins are something that anyone visiting a hogbot cache can enjoy discovering. And sometimes (when possible) the resident coins support the theme of the cache they are found in.

While some folks disagree with the idea of resident coins, please understand that resident coins serve a purpose of adding to the overall experience of finding a hogbot cache.

About This Item

Remember the movies and stories about giant scorpions? What about scorpions facinates us, scares us, repulses us, that tales of giant scorpions have become a thing of legend. These legendary scorpions have been found in movies, video games, books, and even internet memes.  

When I created the cache dECrYPTiD I knew it was the perfect opportunity to do a wordplay on decrypt, cryptid, and eurypterid. It was the perfect cache name to go along with the resident geocoin. 

Decrypt referes to the action of dicyphering the meaning of the LED's on the cache.  This one is pretty easy to understand how it fits. 

Cryptids are an animal (such as Sasquatch or the Loch Ness Monster) that has been claimed to exist but never proven to exist Contrary to popular belief, cryptids don't have to be supernatural, mythical or even all that strange—though many popular creatures acquire these characteristics as their legends grow. The Miami Beach Scorpion. It is said to be a large scorpion-like animal seen off of Miami Beach in Florida. 

Eurypterids, often informally called sea scorpions, are a group of extinct arthropods that form the order Eurypterida. The earliest known eurypterids date to the Darriwilian stage of the Ordovician period 467.3 million years ago.
