I am addicted! I must find them all! Look me up for that mining/aircrash site expedition. That sounds awesome. I might have to geocache myself and have people find me!
well new to the FJ forums but have been geocaching a few months in my work truck now am a proud owner of a FJ just picked it up yesterday from a dealer 07 used model. But have a few caches out that have not been found yet. camo works wonders on the human eye
Just started geocaching, it's pretty fun. (thanks for the suggestion, James)

I have an idea. Those of you into Geocaching my be familiar with this term. What if I created some "Geocoins" that have a cool FJ Cruiser design/theme to them. Would there be any interest in something like that? For those not familiar with the term, a GeoCoin is a custom-minted coin that you would put into the Geocaches that you take something from.
I think it would be cool to have a nice 1.5" gold-finish or silver-finish (actually nickel or brass) coin to put back in that represents our passion for the FJ. Below is a sample of what the resulting coins look like... 3-D and cool. Imagine an FJ on there.
The cost would be around 60 cents up to $2.50 per coin depending on the quantity of the order and the dimension (true sculpted 3-D coins run in the $2.00 range while simple stamped coins run in the 60 cent range). I did some smaller coins for a packmate who wanted to use them as giveaway tokens for his retail business as a cool alternative to gift certificates.
I'd be willing to design them and foot the bill for the die-cutting costs ($99/side) if folks would be willing to buy some at the base cost ($0.60 - $2.50 ea)

Thoughts, comments, interest?

That sounds very cool. How many coins do we need to order?

Oddly enough, the least expensive option overall is actually the coolest. A fully-sculpted 3-D coin 1.5" in diameter (silver-dollar size) has a minimum order of only 100 pieces.
If we want them all to be sequentially numbered, add $35.00
I am probing for interest at this point. If I get enough interest, I'll gladly cover the die charges and throw the whole $500+ project on my credit card - just so long as I won't get stuck with 80 coins of my own.
Oh - sidenote, these even come with free plastic cases like the fancy ones on TV.
If there is enough interest, I will start working on a design, and solicit ideas and comments, then put a few up for a final vote, then off to the presses.
