The Cachebug

Cherry City Cachers present the "Black Cherry"

2008-01-18T16:43:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, it's been awhile lol. These nice folks gave me such a nice email about their new coin I couldn't help but to put it up lol. To tell you the truth I have gotten a bunch of letters from everyone. Thank you so much and thank you for checking up on me. I do love this blog and expect to return soon.

Introducing the Black Cherry. A nice trackable coin that makes me miss the summer. It comes complete with it's own icon just watch out for the pits. The Cherry City Cachers are from Salem Oregon, Oregon's capital city and a place I have been many times. You can order the coin here at $8 each.

Thank you for the note about your coin and good luck to you!

Just a little break :)

2007-09-16T20:44:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody. Everything is great here. As many of you know, I had a geocache near my home stolen. The event it's self was not that horrible, but did make me realize that I could use a short break from geocoins and geocaching. I do miss you all already and I will be back in the mix shortly. The break is not all selfish, I am taking the time to research cool new things that will make the site better than ever. My goal is to take some of the editorial away from myself and create a more diverse information/knowledge base for geocoins. The many emails from readers were appreciated, and the cachebug will be back and better than ever soon.

Geocache muggled by the Bomb Squad

2007-08-26T19:59:00.000-07:00

*Update* An astute area geocacher has found that this is just some lamo's way of stealing a geocache full of geocoins.... No bomb squad just a scumbag. Crazy hoax for a box of coins... hope it makes them happy.

This is very shocking to me but I had a geocoin cache on my property and I guess someone reported it as a suspicious container and the bomb squad came out. I am especially sad for the good folks who had their coins in it. It forces me to ask the question if the "terror" minded public and geocaching can co-exist. Here was the message folks with coins in the cache received:

Log Date: 8/25/2007
Unfortunately, this travel bug was placed in a geocache on private property without the property owners consent. Furthermore it was chained to a telephone pole. The cache consisted of a military ammo can with only military markings on the outside. Thus it was reported to law enforcement as a suspicious package and after examination removed by the Bomb Squad and the contents disposed of. Please follow the rules and guidelines as set forth on www.geocaching.com. Please see www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#offlimit

The kicker is that it was on my property, front yard in fact. Boy, wait until the find all the ones in the park...

-free man for now ---- cachegame

Previously Coinswag said that the Quadcacher LE geocoins would be available September 20th, however, the actual date is August 20. There are 30 of these sets available here. These are interesting because you can actually select the colors of the coin! The pack includes 10 coins in all including the custom LE for $87.50.

Podcacher Geocoin

2007-08-17T07:18:00.000-07:00

It appears that the Podcacher, a popular geocaching podcast has a new coin. I was given this information: "podcacher mystery ordering process - should i dial san diego?" There was also this code: 2zero6three505four26. As soon as the poor hacked Skype network gets back off the ground I intend to call the number as it seems like a phone number with an extension. My theory is that you will reach a machine that gives you ordering information. This was a cool idea by the Podcacher! A sort of geocoin ordering cache. Cool!

Geocaching - Gone To The Dogs Geocoin

2007-08-07T07:22:00.001-07:00

Has Castleman made the ultimate tribute to geocaching dogs? Probably! This big 1.75" coin features 23 colors of hard and translucent enamels and took the mint 11 tries to get it right! He was actually told the coin couldn't be done, but here it is for $9.49 each. For dog lovers this will be a tough geocoin to beat! This coin was designed by Paula from geocoindesign.com. Nice one Castleman! This one releases today here.

More coins up for grabs at Coins & Pins

2007-08-06T07:35:00.000-07:00

King of Geocaching Geocoin

This is a new German geocoin avalible here. It comes in polished silver and antique silver and there is an antique gold, and black nickel LE. These are about $14 US plus shipping. I don't really understand the concept. I guess that king guy could be Jeremy, the founder of Geocaching, or "Mambo" the person who minted the coin.

Wreched Skull Geocoin

2007-08-03T22:29:00.000-07:00

This one is a customer inspired geocoin for Geoswag. I remember talk of it on the GC forums. This cool pirate themed two tone comes in a regular ($8.47) and a reversed LE ($8.97). These coins are encrusted with 6 crystals and come complete with a curse on the back. The coin is 42mm X 3.5mm and available here.

2007-08-01T07:51:00.000-07:00

You can read about it here. It's a great looking coin that is over 2.25" tall! $8.50 here at 7:00 PM (Mountain) tonight!

Also there is a very cool new school of dorkfish. These are sold as a set of 4 ($19.50) and not trackable. You can find these here during the sale tonight.

MWGB Geocons at Hogwild

2007-07-30T07:15:00.000-07:00

Hogwild has a bunch of t-shirt geocoins for this event. These are similar to the ones from GeowoodstockV ($8.00). There is also a round coin that was designed by Jamie of MadHattersNeverland called "Nickel Hyde Midwest Geobash Coin" ($8.10). Hyde appears to be a cartoon character that will appear from time to time like Signal I guess.

There is also something called "The Midwest Geobash Experience Package" Registered attendees received these. It includes a yellow string bag and 3 pins from Oakcoins. These ones include two of the above mentioned Hyde geocoins (One of each finish). ($20)
All of this goodness is available here.

Cacher Tag Micro Traveler Geocoins

2007-07-27T07:47:00.000-07:00

Big sale and new coins at the Geocoin Store

2007-07-27T07:33:00.001-07:00

The store has been quiet for a while, apparently minting a bunch of geocoins! Here is what's new:

- MWGB 2007 Poker Marker Geocoin
- Atlanta Gal's Anniversary Slot Machine
- The Pathtag Sherpa Geocoin
- The Go 4x4 It Jeep Themed Coin

Along with the new coins are a bunch of sails. Most coins are cut 33%. The Christmas coins are now $2. An excellent price for a Chris Mackey coin (Remember there is the miles challenge on these too: The Chris coin with the most miles by thanksgiving gets the treasure chest of geocoins!)

Cache Rewards Geocoins

2007-07-27T07:22:00.001-07:00

*Update* The price of these has been slashed from $5.25 to $5.50 for the LEs!

These are very nice looking geocoins and they are meant to reward a cache owner for creating a very cool geocache. These come in several metals (Gold, Nickel, and antique bronze and silver) and have a variety of phrases like "Amazing View" and "Great Container." Unlike reward coins in the past, these are trackable with icon. Get these here for $7.25.

Back Says:
"This coin is meant to be placed in a cache that deserves recognition for the quality shown on the front. Please move it to a cache that you feel deserves it."

Coin Stats:
1-1/2'' 38mm x 3.0mm

Moun10Like Geocoin

2007-07-26T07:16:00.000-07:00

This one is a little strange. It is apparently a presale tribute geocoin for Moun10Bike, the cacher who had the very first geocoin. The weird part is that Moun10Bike goes to great lengths to make sure that his geocoins are not sold. It seems ironic that a tribute coin would be sold. This is a nice looking coin that looks a little like the original geocoin and says "Thank you Moun10Bike!". You can put in your order here for $9.49 plus $2 shipping.

Northern Right Whale Geocoin

2007-07-18T08:12:00.000-07:00

This is a great looking coin for a good cause. The Right Whale was hunted to near extinction and in some areas the numbers continue to decline. A portion from the sail of this geocoin goes to the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies. I love the look of this coin which was designed by Jamie at MadHattersNeverland. There is also a matching pin. You can pick this coin $7.75 and a LE $8.25 up here at Dorkfish coins.

The Quahog is a shellfish (The State Shellfish of Rhode Island) that was used for Wampum (money). There are not trackable, but very very cool and available here.

2007-07-16T20:26:00.000-07:00

New library of designs over at the Neverland

2007-07-10T07:09:00.000-07:00

*Update* Yes, Jamie aka: James is a he. Honest mistake, emails bogging down google servers ;)

Not to be confused with the Neverland Ranch (Creepy) Jamie's madhattersneverland has been creating cool geocoin designs for a long time now. He was kind enough to drop me a line to say that you can now see them in a cool way on her site here. That is a LOT of coins! Thanks for sharing Jamie!

Grossherzogtum Baden Geocoin

British Columbia 2007 geocoin

2007-07-07T08:17:00.000-07:00

This nice BC coin is now available at landsharkz. The coin is $9 Canadian and available here in antique silver. Landsharkz provided me with this cool background on the imagery of the coin:

"The animal depicted on this year’s coin is the cougar, resident of Vancouver Island. The trestle featured on the coin is the Kinsol Trestle in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. This trestle is on a beautiful section of the Trans Canada Trail.

Completed in 1920 and with a length of 614 feet, it is the longest trestle in the British Commonwealth. It remains an outstanding example of a time when there was no project too grand, or scheme too bold for us to achieve with hard work and innovation.

This lovely trestle has deteriorated so significantly that it cannot be used for any purpose. It is a missing link in the Trans Canada Trail. Studies are being conducted to determine if it can be restored for recreational use rather demolished and replaced with a new footbridge."

Cool! I love that stuff! Thanks Edley for the info!

vigps mtn-man Event Coin

2007-07-04T09:06:00.000-07:00

Ok mtn-man, a gc.com cache approver well known for his admin brick geocoins dropped by the vigps event. They were so excited that they minted a special coin. The good news is that everyone who goes to the event got a free coin, the other news is that the remaining coins will be sold on the ol'ebay :(. Oh well, at least you will get a shot at these :) It is an effort to recoup the costs and that's easy to understand. This coin is available now on ebay. (Note that it is not trackable). Thanks for the info Jessica!!

TG bear and Ryder3 teamed up to create this geocoin and pin. The best part of this set is that the pin is trackable.

Cool new coins headed to the Geocoin Store

2007-06-16T20:39:00.000-07:00

Here in the coming soon there are two coins of note to keep us getting up in the morning :) The first is a geocoin that the Geocoin Store commissioned to Chris Mackey. The Pathtag Sherpa Geocoin is something brand new for those keeping tabs. About a year ago the Geocoin Store came out with pathtags. Little personal coins with holes that were designed to be inexpensive metal not trackable cacheswag. These little things are really nice (I have one) but up until now you couldn't track them on groundspeak. Here's where the Sherpa comes in... It is a traditional geocoin that allows your pathtag to somehow snap on so you can personalize it. Awesome idea! If you don't have a tag, it comes with one. The design of the coin is very cool. It reminds me of crake's Tracking Time coin, even though I believe the art is more Hindu than Aztec. These will be here in a couple of weeks.

The second coin is AtlantaGal's 3rd Anniversary Geocoin. AtlantaGal is one of the people that makes GC forums interesting. This coin is a very unique shape. Maybe the first slot machine coin. Congrats AtlantaGal, looking forward to the coin.

Arthur & Trillian Personal coming soon

2007-06-16T20:32:00.000-07:00
