NB Winter Challenge Geocoin
Hey everybody. By now, I’m hoping that most geocachers in New Brunswick have heard about the awesome geocoin that the Fredericton Regional Geocachers are producing, but if not, have no fear! I’m hear to share the news.
We are planning on placing the order by the end of this week, in order to have the freshly minted coins for the Bye Bye Winter Bash weekend in Fredericton, on April 10th and 11th. If you are interested in ordering a coin, please let me know, as I am the organizer for them!
We are ordering 150 of these beautiful coins, and as of the writing of this post, 111 have been “preordered” by individual cachers. The cost for these unique geocoins? A lowly $8 each! My email address is sialonak [at] gmail [dot] com, if you are interested in ordering one – or, go to the facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=192176623576) for the Fredericton Geocachers and post a message there for me.
The geocoins themselves are going to be made in a black nickel finish. The snowman side will be epoxied, in order to protect the glow in the dark feature (picture included of the glow feature). The snowflake side will not have epoxy, in order to accent the little snowflakes more. Neither side is more durable than the other, I am told – the epoxy only protects the glow feature, not the coloured enamel. They will also have a unique icon on geocaching.com, which I’ve also included a picture of here.
If you are interested in having one, please contact me sooner rather than later, to avoid the disappointment of not being able to own one of these beauties!
We ordered two of them. We will be going to the April event to pick them up.
We cant wait.
Maybe we should move to Fredericton.
I just ordered one even though I am not a coin collector but I don’t want to feel left out. I don’t know if I am going to the events, I already have 2 out of town trips planned that month, my wife will kill me (or have a party) if I go away 3 times in one month.
