The goal of this coin/proxy is to just travel around. So whatever your pleasure is, cache to cache, event to event, drop it in a new cache, hand it off to another cacher, take it to a new country, whatever you desire.. Just as long as it keeps moving!
We all run into it from time to time, real life does get in the way of caching (unbelieveable huh?).. If you find yourself in this situation it would be great if you can spend 10 mins to just drop the proxy off in a cache so it can continue on rather then have no activity. Thanks!
This four part spinner geocoin has the Mayan Calendar on the front side and the Haab and the Tzolkinon on the back.
The Mayan calendar completes its current "Great Cycle" of the Long Count on the 13th Baktun, on 13.0.0.0.0. Using the most common conversion to our modern calendar, the end of the "Great Cycle" corresponds to 11:11 Universal Time (UTC, December 21, 2012, hence the myriad of doomsday prophecies surrounding this date.
The Haab is a 365 day solar calendar which is divided into 18 months of 20 days each and one month which is only 5 days long (Uayeb). The calendar has an outer ring of Mayan glyphs which represent each of the 19 months. Each day is represented by a number in the month followed by the name of the month. Each glyph represents a personality associated with the month.
The divine calendar is also known as the Sacred Rount "Tzolkin" which means "the distribution of the days". It is a 260-day calendar, with 20 periods of 13 days used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events. Each day is numbered from one to thirteen, and then repeated. The day is also given a name from a sequence of 20 day names. The calendar repeats itself after each cycle.
The Mayan Calendar has three corresponding calendars. Time is cyclical in the calendars and a set number of days must occur before a new cycle can begin. The three calendars are used simultaneously. the Tzolkin and the Haab identify the name the days, but not the years.
There are currently 6 different platings for the Mayan Spinner coins. This is the Copper version made specifically for Groundspeak
NOTE: All original uploaded pictures have had all tracking information (either code or qr code) either digitally removed or altered. If the proxy has a QR code on it and you can't get it to scan, try a different scanner app. For android I know that
At&t code scanner and
NeoReader work well for them.
