I’d like to see the 2007 coin, not sure I’ve ever run across one.

I will try to remember to bring my 2007 Saturday

While on a cache maintenance run today, we discovered RJ’s 2005 WGA coin.  Actually, it’s a nicely done copy of the coin – the original is in his permanent collection.

The last two are not WGA.

Nine collection. You don’t have the red 2010 tag?

No red, I must not have procured it.  The last two are Cache Bash pathtags that were given in the goody bags if you signed up early.

OH BABY!  I just received an unactivated 2008 WGA “cow” geocoin that I got through eBay.  After 5 years of searching I finally have all of the WGA coins issued by year:

2005 gold deer, 2007 lighthouse, 2008 cow, 2010 state shaped, 2011 copper round, 2012 WGA letters, 2013 state shaped cachekinz.

I also have WGA pathtags from 2010 (all 5 colors) and the pathtags from cache bashes of 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014.  Need to work on the 2012 bash pathtag.  Also recently acquired the Wisconsin Coulee Region Cachers coin.

There wasn’t an annual WGA geocoin issued in 2006, 2009, or 2015, but there was a WGA campout geocoin issued in 2006 that I haven’t ever seen, so there’s hope someday!

I also have pathtags/coins from Youngins3, Ldove, Benny7210, Chewysfolks, Korpl&Greyhounder, Donb01, Sunshine, Redwingrr, and Froggerz.  There’s still plenty of ‘tags out there for us to find.  We don’t generally collect trackables unless they’re from someone we know or places we’ve visited.  But that WGA cow geocoin was possibly my favorite so far!

Very cool!  Will you be bringing your collection to events like the OCB?

Never thought about it, but then again I don’t know what OCB means.

Could you post a picture of the Wisconsin Coulee Region Cachers coin please?

Pretty, isn’t it?

OCB=Original Can of Beans

That thing travels around to events and people gawk at it like in a museum.  It doesn’t do anything for me, since I can see beans any time I go to a grocery store, but some enjoy the history of it.

This one is Mr. Evil & my favorite 🙂

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
