Current Goal

I am looking for "OLD" places. This could mean a lot of different things. So use your imagination.

Thanks Fundamental and Venlis for getting me started on my journeys!

(This is a real coin. If you find anything else, please let me know.)

About This Item

Anthony & Cleopatra





Antigua & Barbuda would be seen as red if they were big enough!

1) The Forgotten Cemetery (GCPF80)
2) Nokian kirkko (GCX093) "Church of Nokia isn´t very old (built 1837), but the Pantheon of Rome has been used as it´s model with round shapes and all over domes. We hope that Anthony & Cleopatra would feel a bit like home here."
3) Umpihankea tai sakkipimeaa (GCZC84) There were "old" people at this event. I know because I looked at the pictures! Heh, those are old people if you are a child! :-)
4) Medieval Finland 7-Turku Castle (GCYWJG) This has got to be old, after all it is a medieval castle! I can't believe no one has taken any pictures of the castle & added it to the website! There are 34 logged visits & not a single picture. :( At least I have a picture of me in front of the castle! Thanks -lub!!
5) Godstow Abbey (GCGXGE) Thanks for the picture Suurnesu!
6) Cold War in Oxfordshire (GCYW28)
7) derrylynne says, "This coin is in a cache that is hidden under one of several large boulders that were left at the top of the Bwllch mountain by the receding glacier that filled the valley in the last ice age. The rock itself had travelled very many miles. Now that is old....."
8) felmaith said, "Hope this 13th century castle on the Gower peninsula will suit." talking about the cache, "Oystermouth Castle Cache"
9) Hakuna Matata (glos)said, "Views from near cache include Gloucester Cathedral which has been a place of worship for 900 years." speaking of the cache "Tyndale's View"
10) Hakuna Matata (glos) gets bonus points for pictures at both "parque la bateria" & "Ermin Street Final"
11) murielthepluriel had a nice story about "Ermin Street Final" & then left it in "Fort Berkley"
12) hiker24 said, this about "THE PAST (GC12HK0)"Left it at a military museum wohoo!!!"
13) COG4#16: Champlain's Landing (GC1CN8X)
14) Battle of the Windmill 1838 (GCJHPA)

This cache location has an interesting history.

It started as a prison farm in the mid 1800s and the prisoners grew their own food. I suspect they ate a lot healthier than todays inmates!

By the turn of the last century, the state prison had been moved to Reidsville and the lush, fertile lowland (swamp) was converted into a landfill which was closed around WWI. Until the state and county took an archaeological interest, this was a Mecca for bottle collectors.

Today, the Botanical Garden, Hospice, Police Maintenance and other county services sit upon ground once irrigated with the sweat of those challenged by mutually respectful social intercourse.

I'm really impressed with this coins travels and pedigree.

Having recently watched the HBO series, ROME, on NetFlix, my mental images of Anthony and Cleopatra has been honed to a new edge. (Despite some obvious anachronisms, the characterizations of the historic figures were extremely well done. The character of Cleo is a fine example. She was the first of the Ptolemaic dynasty who was fluent in Egyptian, despite three centuries of this Greek family's rule!)

Not sure which old place I'll leave it. Maybe my old home place or at an igneous rock formation.

Found this coin at GC1C5BT. I will be heading to Eastern Ontario soon. I will drop the travelers in Historic Kingston. There is a new cache at Sir John A MacDonalds home. (first prime minister of Canada) Perhaps that is a fitting place.
