I am the fortunate recipient of a letterbox/geocache geocoin. Fish Below the Ice passed it on to me. It commemorates both hide & seek hobbies. A beautiful geocoin with lots of detail. I’m going to pass it along via GAQLBE08: GC-AQ Canada-USA. The letterbox (posted on both AQ and GC) is a collaboration between me in Canada and deniserows in the U.S. Denise’s stamp commemorates both hobbies, using the Frog mascot of GC and the Chick mascot of AQ. Definitely the right box for this geocoin.
Note the detail on this coin:
Letterboxing/Geocaching geocoin front side
Details:
- The date and location where letterboxing began in1854 in Devon, England
- “Don’t trade the stamp” inscribed into the coin
Back of the geocoin
Details:
- NEWS compass points
- Stamped logbook
- LBNA logo
Update: Fiddleheads, in her message below, reminded me that the back is stampable. I recall FBTI showing me that feature back at the Guelph event. So I stamped the image. Here it is:
The stamped impression of the back of the coin
I just noticed all the letters are reversed on the back of the coin – it’s stampable!
Maybe someday I’ll get one of those for my hybred
