Mid size coin with heft. 1.5 inches 3.25 mm 27 grams thick silver. 250 coins minted. The front of the coin has a medallion with lots of enamel work. The 3-D is in line and edge work. The medallion has a design of the desert. There are images of cacti, a cow skull, lots of sand and buzzards. The rim is wide and the background is done in brown matte enamel. There is script done in metal that reads "I need a cache like the desert needs the rain". The reverse has a medallion with a background done in matte olive green. It has a design of a slot machine showing three GPS units and the macine is giving out coins. The rim which is done in the same brown as the front has script that reads "If you don't play, you can't win" and "Stringalights 2007". OK coin.
Info on the coin: It was applewomyn, geocacher and coin designer from Atlanta, who designed the 38 x 3.5 mm Stringalights Geocoin in shiny silver with an imitation hard enamel finish and had 250 geocoins minted in March 2007 via the above-mentioned shop. Stringalights probably wanted to have its own geocoin soon after starting the new hobby, but the inscription "I NEED A CACHE LIKE THE DESERT NEEDS THE RAIN" on the front doesn't really fit the cacher, because there were only a few finds on the books when the order was placed. In total, there were only 50 in the only two cacher years.
About the coin: The quote, "He reached in and put a string of lights around my heart" was the inspiration for the caching name Stringalights a South Carolina cacher new to the fun in 2006. The quote comes from a popular independent film from 1986 that takes place in Reno, NV where one of the main characters works in a casino. This personal coin pays homage to the film, a favorite of Stringalights, and carries with it a message of love and hope that each and every one of us finds someone to light up our hearts!
So many of my trackables have been muggled that I only release new GCs as virtuals. If you do not approve, please leave it in the cache for a cacher who understands. Thanks. LL.

Thanks to the 2023 Christmas Day blizzard my daughter, JMVonFange, was delayed in heading home so we spent the bonus time together comparing our caching statistics including trackables discovered and looking through our geocaching pictures. JM has discovered significantly more trackables that I have mainly because while we were staying home during the pandemic she spent time online and spotted numerous TBs that were being shared virtually. After looking at the TB page for each TB that she discovered that I didn't, I found that a number of TB Codes necessary to discover the trackable were included on the TB Page itself or intentionally or as a spoiler in the photo gallery. Sometimes there was an attempt to obsure or hide the TB Code that was not entirely successful making it fairly easy to determine the TB Code needed to discover the travel bug.
