This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Steampunk Scorpion - Resident Coin is a Steampunk Scorpion Geocoin Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

My mission is to stay as a resident geocoin in my owners cache. (dECrYPTiD) Please discover me, but leave me for the next finder to discover.

Why a Resident Coin?

Cachers ask: Why have a resident coin? Why not let the coin travel? The answer is simple. Finding a cool geocoin is such an awesome experience for everyone. When finding a hogbot cache, it is pretty much a guarantee that you can also discover a new resident geocoin for your inventory. It makes the experience of finding a hogbot cache that much more exciting and worth the adventure.

Travelers often go missing never to be seen again. While I do have travelers that are out in the wild getting some miles I bought them with the specific intention to travel. They typically have a theme or promote the cache they were released from. Resident coins are something that anyone visiting a hogbot cache can enjoy discovering. And sometimes (when possible) the resident coins support the theme of the cache they are found in.

While some folks disagree with the idea of resident coins, please understand that resident coins serve a purpose of adding to the overall experience of finding a hogbot cache.
