Discovered It 6/17/2016 Lucka Black discovered it   Visit Log

TB viděno na MEGA eventu v Terezíně, díky za ukázku, krása :-)

Discovered It 3/7/2009 bifrost_global discovered it   Visit Log

I am a bit confused ❔ When I attended an event at stockholm: masar runt på söder, I wrote down some of the codes on the coins lying there. I had written down a code simillar to this one, but it did not exist. I tried then this combination and up popped a coin that has disappeared !!!
I can not be shure that this is the coin I saw amongst the other coins, but it disappeared in Sweden at least, so it can be right (hope that it is). Very strange find indeed!

Sadly, after 5 short miles this coin has gone missing. If if does pop up somewhere again please place it back into a cache so that it can complete its mission.

Dropped Off 4/12/2008 Mufflon placed it in Mörarp # 1 Kyrkan Skåne, Sweden - 5.07 miles  Visit Log
Retrieve It from a Cache 4/12/2008 Mufflon retrieved it from Hasslarps dammar Skåne, Sweden   Visit Log

Hasslarps dammar is close to Västraby gård, where the world ploughing contest were held 1993. The coin was not left here, but a few kilometers away.

This coin was going to start it´s travels from Västraby gård, but since no cache was here I choosed the closest one instead. I did visit the farm though, and took some pictures. Enjoy!

  • The stones at Västraby gård Two stones with smaller signs of diffrent stone types attached. The smaller signs have names of countries on them. Participants from 1993 I guess.
  • Close up of the stone New Zealand was there!
  • Farm building One of the buildings on the farm Västraby gård.
  • Tilled soil The soil is tilled and ready for spring and something to grow here this year ...
Grab It (Not from a Cache) 4/10/2008 Mufflon grabbed it   Visit Log

Coin arrived in my hand today and the plan is to release it in a cache close to Västraby gård in Helsingborg this weekend.
