About This Item

Sample Slugs - Comfortable in film containers!

Racing Slugs are a different breed of travelbug/geocoin. Smaller than most geocoins, they can fit inside 35mm film containers. Being so small increases the options for where to hide, and they love to move fast when discovered, so please don't slow them down! Speed is more important than direction, because they love to move, so forward, backward, sideways, around in circles, doesnt matter, so if you see one, just help him move quickly to some other cache, be it near or far, as long as it's relatively quick! I have 10 nicle plated racing slugs and 10 gold plated racing slugs. I intend to distribute them 'into play' over some period of time, and in geographically separated locations. Keep them moving every direction you can and don't help anyone cheat in discovering them, because I will have a significant prize for the first person to discover all 20 of them (haven't decided on the prize yet, but I'll update this as I release more slugs). Happy hunting!

Placed TB in our personal cache right before heading up north. Will find a good, new place for this TB up north(maybe even into the UP. I will find a tourist area so it will really get traveling hopefully. Let's go Slug...

Went to Lakeside, Ohio for Fourth of July and did some caching in the morning before a parade. This cache was an old cemetery where no one would even know it was there if not for caching. Decided that this cache deserved this TB to visit before moving up north next week. Only 8 more days before Gaylord, Mi.
