Geocaching anyone? Leave your "signature" with style!

I just took up Geocaching. Great fun and way to inspire some exercise! Cities, parks, forest trails, these things are EVERYWHERE. Over 3 million worldwide and over a hundred in my small city alone. I downloaded a $10 app on my iPhone and it works as a GPS. Plus a great web site http://www.geocaching.com/ if you'd like to learn more. Rather than purchase signature coins, I decided to make my own tokens. There are still many caches too small for even these but for those that aren't I have a fun treasure to leave behind. It's tricky at first but if you have a friend to show you the basics, you'll soon want to make some of these for yourself!

Instructions

  1. Small gc steps

    Make your teeny tiny logo/signature. I even ended up shrinking mine on a copy machine. These look magnified when you put the glass over them. Start with super glue. After it dries, coat the back with clear nail polish to water.
