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.

This hasn't been logged since last November and the cache where it was last seen has no travel bugs in it. As a result I am marking this geocoin missing.

I hope it reappears, I like the coin and the cache it represents.
