About This Item

Bucket

On May 3, 2000, a five-gallon bucket was placed in the woods outside of Portland, Oregon by Dave Ulmer. There were some random items in the bucket, including a sling shot, a VHS tape of "George of the Jungle", and a can of beans. The coordinates were then listed on a chat group of GPS enthusiasts and modern-day geocaching was born! Mike Teague was the original First to Find the very next day.

Let's face it folks, some of us spend a lot of money on trackables, only to have them disappear once they get sent out into the wild.  For trackable owners, it's extremely disheartening when this happens.  All of the coins/trackables I've sent out so far have went missing at some point.  For this reason, I've decided to keep all of the original coins and send out Proxies into the wild.  That way others will have the opportunity to move/discover the trackables I've been holding on to, while also keeping the original coin safe and sound.

Please treat the proxy as you would the real coin and move it along from cache to cache.  I hope you will play along and move the proxy instead of keeping it!

I'm keeping the coin for my collection and sending out a Proxy to do the traveling.
