About This Item

Mjölner with Travel Bug Dog Tag

In Viking/Nordic/Germanic mythology, Mjolnir (Mjölner) is the hammer of Thor, the god of thunder, lightning, wind and rain. While referred to as a club, an axe, and a hammer, Mjolnir was thought to be capable of toppling giants and entire mountains with a single blow. Miniature replicas of Mjolnir were widely popular in Scandinavia, they were used in Blóts and other sacral ceremonies, such as weddings. Many of these replicas were also found in graves and tended to be furnished with a loop, allowing them to be worn. (Extract from Wikipedia)

Found this one in Överfurirens Dilemma outside of Karlstad. It was not listed in the cache listing. Time to bring it "back on the board".

After having had a summer without nearly any Geocaching we finally got started again and took our bikes to a cache in the neighbourhood GC11J6Y. We have managed to keep him (it) out of our socks and now pass on the responsibility to someone else

När vi hade hittat denna travel bug åkte vi tillbaka med båt. Sedan när vi kom iland var den borta! vi letade efter den en stund, men hittade den inte. Sedan när vi skulle gå hittade vi den i min strumpa!!! konstigt.

Unfortunately it is already broken, it was broken when I found it in the cache. The link between the dogtag and the icon was too week.

Not to worry, I plan to repair it put a small bag around it, so it will survive its future trip around the world!

  • Mjölner Repaired! I think this reperation will be more durable than the original design. Now I should just go find a small bag to it!

Features:
- Iron thread with black protection / isolation. Two loops through the loop holes to increase durability.
- Iron thread with transperent isolation. Used to fixate the icon, to reduce the wear on the loop hole thread.
