We would love for this Geocoin to be able to travel home now to Shaftesbuy, Dorset in England. We would like to frame it and display it with a map from its travels. Please help it along the way - the original mission was - TRAVEL TO AND EXPLORE NORTH AMERICA. As a member of HM Forces, I decided that having myself spent 20 years travelling the World, I would love for my coins to do the same. I have released 7, and am hoping that 6 of them will each travel to a different continent, and spend their lives travelling said continent, whilst the remaining Geocoin, would like myself, want to visit 6 of Continents, before returning home to the UK. I have decided to exclude Antatica only due to its' lack of caches and the fact that it's too cold (BRRR!!!), whilst steadfastly refuse to enter a discussion on the continents of the world, LOL. I have named the coins after my family, who are my inspiration in life & my true soul. The coins are as follows; Samantha - North America (This Page), Joanne - Europe, Jacob - South America, John - Oceana/Australia, Shane - Asia, Douglas - Africa, The Askams - 6 of the 7 continents, then home.
This is one of only a few left and I am now trying to get the remaining survivors home to the UK. After 25 Years in the British Army I am finally retiring ad would like my surviving coins to do the same - Last one back is a rotten Egg !
