Placed Coins In Geocaches in NH

I learned about geocaches from my brother. When I first heard of them I thought the idea was stupid. But as I learned, these are normally put in interesting places and it gets you out hiking and seeing places you proabably would not have seen otherwise. I placed euro coins in both of these two sites and a bag of shredded cash in one:

Vets View

Tux's

You need a GPS receiver to find the Vet's View. The other has good enough clues to find without.

    Hi:

    There is another interesting side to Geocaching, more particularly Geocoins. and the designers/manufacturers
    of these items. My icon is the obverse of an anniversary coin we recently did - at a very reasonable price. IMHO, you
    cannot go wrong with using geocoin designers/manufacturers to execute your multi-colored tokens or medals,
    especially in limited editions of as little as 100 pieces... Ideal for clubs, web sites, or individuals who want to
    celebrate something with a nice medal or token. With the "new" manufacturing methods available, picture
    portraits are no problem, and you can get a ton of different plating possibilities for bronze medals (silver finish), etc.

    More details about the story of our medal at my blog.

    Fun stuff!

    I met a geocache guy one time at a city park when I was metal detecting for coins. Turns out his little treasure was a few feet from where I was digging a coin. Our worlds collided for a brief moment - we both expressed interest in eachothers hobby - then as quickly as we met, we headed our seperate ways, never to meet again....
