Another First to Find (FTF)

I keep an eye on the daily "new" cache posting on the Maine page. I noticed there was one in Belfast, Maine which is in the same town I work in. I took an early lunch break to be the first to find this cache. I found this Maine geocoin in this cache. I will be moving this along very soon.
Over the weekend, I was able to find several cache's along the Maine Coast and I was able to find my 50th cache which is Seafarers Beacon Cache that had a nice lighthouse and museum to walk around. This cache was way out in the middle of almost no where.

Another First to Find (FTF)

my custom made cache container

What is it? hmmmm....well it is a plastic Maxwell house coffee container that we saved and I spray painted this, then used some camp tape around center base. This was stashed yesterday in Waldoboro, Maine. The cache is called "Path Tag Drop-off". I think path tags are very new and cool. I have seen some really neat custom tags that I would love to see as an actual geocoin. Maybe someday I will have a path tag made...trading with others can be fun. I have not been able to go out geocaching over the past few days. I think I am having withdrawals....so this weekend I will check out some local cache's that are kinda in my area and that are out of the way. I have been having trouble with my Garmin eTrex Vista with reception in my area. I tried to stash a cache and I lost a signal several times. It was a clear and sunny day...so I am not sure why it has been happening lately.

My first purchased geocoin

This is my first geocoin that I just bought off ebay. I will be putting this coin out into a cache sometime soon. I was would like to see this coin move across the United States and over seas. I thought this coin was unique....I have never seen a coin that had an OZ reference. Geocoins are so neat...they are much heavier than a normal coin and they are designed beyond belief.
