on may 25, 2006, i found my first geocache. since then i am hooked to this hobby that combines the outdoors (nature), tech, challenging puzzles, tourism, … a bit of everything – and of everywhere!
now, 20 years later, i can more or less proudly say: 10,000 found logs. i kind of fogot that 1/4 of those are rather cheap lab caches and 1/3 are boring micro containers. but there are many highlights nexte to those. memories for life: cool night caches that took several nights, mega and giga events – like that european geocoin festiival in cologne/germany when geocoins where in their heydays and collector from all over the place went nuts.
i started with geocoins in late 2006 (will celebrate that separately). since then i published about 100 geocoins and other trackables. most of the under the ernies geocoins.biz brand. some were made as assignments for other cachers (where i discretely stayed in the background).
so, now, finally, my first (and only) personal coin is out. it was in the making for more than 10 years (yes, i intended publishing it in 2016): 10 different editions (color and plating differ), each of them limited to 20 pieces. that is a small run of only 200 coins. and they come with nonsense names that are not used in world history (yet):
aopeksis | a | antique copper
blutubeni | b | nickel
caflossic | c | matte nickel
daolutzend | d | antique silver
efmerolda | e | matte gold
floksinoksi | f | gold
gnopgorrha | g | black nickel
hallavamar | h | matte silver
ikhalidai | i | antique gold
jeljawej | j | chrome
each coin is numbered next to the tracking number, e.g. j15/20 = jeljawej edition (chrome plating), #15 of 20 made
size:; 51 x 51 mm (= 2 x 2 inch) 4 mm thick
mass: 60 g = 2.116 oz
there is the first image of the antique coooer edition. all images will be revealed from may 25, 2026. available in the shop a bit later for chf 20.00 each, or chf 200.00 per set.
