During the last time there are new geocoins in the mailbox again from several different manufacturers and purchase directly from another geocacher who have made a personal coin itself.

To take the last first then DK_Titan had made ​​their own personal geocoin and when I ran into them Friday night on 15/10 by the cache Constantinsborg so I still have to just ask me whether or not they still had some left of them and it They had so I bought one of each of the colors they've made, red, blue and green.

For a little while ago had Coinsandpins made ​​a geocoin modeled after space-ferry, where tracking numbers hidden cargo compartment can be opened, it is hinged on one side and kept closed at the other with two small magnets. It was made in two different versions so I bought them.

And finally had Hogwildstuff made ​​a geocoin shaped like a Viking helmet - it is 55mm tall and 36mm wide - and made ​​them in 3 versions. In order to get the 3rd limited edition edition (only 50 pcs. made) you had to buy a kit with all 3, so I did.

And since they also had made a geocoin modeled from an over 1,000 year old "aircraft model" of Central America so I bought it at the same time.

When I looked in their catalog I saw that they also had it from 2009 and it was I did have to buy.

They also organized a Meet-n-Greet where geocachers who wanted to meet Jeremy and talk with him and at the end of the meeting, all the attendees a Lackey geocoin.

It is dangerous to go online when there is mail on new geocoins, especially when the coins are of the type I likes the fine little details, colors and maybe a little Celtic inspiration. This was the case in early August and I "came" to buy eight new geocoins as I like to buy the entire series when the same coin is available in several editions.

This time it was geoswag who had a new series of 2 * 7 coins for sale, 2 different metals (antique bronze & antique copper) with details (enamel + crystals) in 7 different colors (Dark, Dark Blue, Green, Light Green, Orange, Red and Purple), I bought only version in antique bronze + a coin made in respect of all the events were related to geocaching's 10 year anniversary (it is located at the top of the first 2 pictures).

The series is called "Celtic Circle of Life" and the 7 colors to symbolize the "mind, body, spirit, soul, heart and life" + one for night (nattecacher) and at geocaching.com they get this icon:

Today arrived the coins so and here is a picture of them all together (front and rear) and closeup of one of them.

This weekend 31st July-1. august was Viking market in the field of ancient hut at Moesgaard beach. I had checked the weather from home for the weekend and it looked best out Saturday, so there I was taken there. It was there also many who had done so there was a good atmosphere at the game and ride the show and the marketplace.

There were at display. And 12 pm. 15 and I was there approx. 11:45 after walking the ancient path from Moesgaard Museum. Despite its late arrival, I got an OK place in the first row, however, completely out in left side, so it was no problem to have taken a lot of pictures.

After the show I walked around the marketplace, both at the beach and on the upper part of the field, and looked at things that were for sale in stalls. There was also a small musical troupe that entertained and a tent where you could be tattooed on the Viking style.
