Thanks for the Welcome. I am happy to be participating in this sport and this forum.

Franklin Balance Sheet

What are the good points?

They are unique items to place in caches
The ‘per piece’ cost is less than many trinkets placed in a cache
They could travel the world and start a trend
They would make a cool key chain

The bad points…
Costs money
Requires cooperation of several people
Spousal hostilities

I’m sure the list could go on, but this is a good start. I also have an alternative if not enough care to go this route, but this is a more desirable end product.

For those folks that are wondering who I am, I will share some info. I am an adult student at Marian College (Appleton branch). I am earning my teaching certificate. My wife is a teacher also and some of her friends introduced us to geocaching last fall. We went out twice and did not find the caches, but enjoyed ourselves. Winter came and we hid indoors. Monday night, my professor took the whole class geocaching. We found two, so I logged them.

As for money and coins, I was hoping WiGeocaching would facilitate the money handling or some other trusted setup. I understand not wanting to send money to an anonymous internet identity.

I just looked at the Texas Geocoins. They went for a much higher-end coin than I was imagining. My thoughts were aluminum coins, just like Mardi Gras Doubloons (non-trackable). More like souvenir trinkets for caches rather than the travel bug concept.

That would be a very good start. If we could get about 10 more folks to do the same, it would be great.
