The Seven Deadly Ducks Geocoin

We are celebrating 15 years of trackables! 

Way back in 2001, the first trackables were sent to travel the world. Geocaching.com founder Jeremy Irish released 7 "Deadly Ducks" (which were really rubber duckies) into the wild and let people know to move them from geocache to geocache. 

Even though this first trackable was before the invention of the Geocoin, we celebrate this monumental shift in the game with a Geocoin! The Seven Deadly Ducks coin can take you through a vortex all the way back to 2001 as it travels the world, or will make any collection 7 ducks better!

Moun10Bike 15 Year Tribute Geocoin

In the fall of 2001, one of the original geocachers, Jon Stanley (better known as Moun10Bike), decided to take the new trackables concept a step further when he minted the very first Geocoins. 

Moun10Bike Geocoins are perhaps the most coveted coins in the geocaching world. It is a thrill for any geocacher just to have seen one, and there are many epic stories of their adventures traveling the world. 

As we celebrate 15 Years of Trackables, we wanted to find a way to have a worthy tribute. We worked with celebrated designer Christian Mackey to create a coin that celebrates and honors this true original. Celebrate the legend with the Moun10Bike Tribute Geocoin!

Mail Call

Something good arrived totally unexpected in the KiwiCachers mailbox today. A friend of the store in Timaru was cleaning out the house after the kids had moved out, preparing to move house, and came across a couple of trackables. Not sure what to do with them they posted them to us. Two owners are going to be happy that their trackables, missing since 2008 and 2012, are back in circulation.

Mega Celebration Time

The Christchurch Mega event is fast approaching and here at KiwiCachers we are getting excited. Often Mega events are where geocachers celebrate milestones, whether it be a number of thousands of finds, most finds in a day, or some other special occasion they have been working towards.


Here at KiwiCachers we want to help those who are going to make attending Mega2015 a special occasion. If you are making your Mega attendance log a special one then we are offering a 10% discount for the Geo-Achievement coin that celebrates that milestone. All you have to do is order the coin online and select the store pickup and we will have it for you at the Mega event. We've added a range of Find coins, if the one you would like isn't there, let us know and we will add it.


In some cases we might have to order in these coins so we have set a cut off date of the 8th October to make sure we have plenty of time for you to get your special coin for you.


Over the weekend we will be adding more Time and Challenge coins to the store so make sure you come back and check.


Oh, and it doesn't have to be a Geo-Achievement coin. If there is anything else you would like feel free to order that too, choose the store pickup, and we will have it for you, saving on shipping and some discount.


Just use the coupon code NZMEGA2015 when placing your order.

    Got a license?

    This is your license to Geocache! Made of solid metal and plated in 24k gold, the Geocaching License is the size of a credit card and will fit easily in your wallet or pocketbook. We can also custom engrave your name. It is very durable and will not bend under normal pressure.
    The backside has several different decoders to help you with deciphering some geocaches. It’s amazing how even a simple cipher can turn a Traditional Geocache into something more exciting. Not only will you have a trackable that fits perfectly in your wallet; you will also have a decoder at your fingertips:
    - Familiar to every geocacher is the ROT13 substitution cipher located on the very top.
    - The next decoding section gives you the alphabet in Braille
    - Down from that is another widely used cipher known as the pigpen cipher. This may also be called the Tic-tac-toe or masonic cipher.
    - Next, you are given some codes for numerals. 0-9 in American sign language, Braille and binary code.
    Your Geocaching License is not only your official certification of caching, but a tool to help you blaze through Mystery caches without the internet!

    Big Blue Switches - have arrived - available now.

    Celebrate what made the great game of Geocaching possible, with the Limited Edition 15 Years of Geocaching Blue Switch Geocoin!

    It was May 2nd 2000 when the "Blue Switch" was flipped by the United States government, allowing satellites to offer more accurate information to GPS units. This inspired the first hide which led to the last 15 years of this amazing game of discovery, exploration and adventure!

    What eventually became known as the first ever geocache was placed the next day, and this commemorative coin was designed by our friend Avroair as a tribute to the plaque that now marks the Original Stash.
    This limited edition "Flip the Switch" coin measures approximately 2 inches by 2 inches.  It has a unique code and is trackable at geocaching.com.  The geocoin features the official Geocaching logo and the date of the flip on one side, and a tribute to 15 Years of Geocaching and 15 blue Swarovski gemstones on the other. 
    This distinctive coin is sure to be a great addition to your collection, or send it across the world to celebrate 15 years of fun!

    Compass Rose Geocoin 2011 - Dawn to Dusk

    The 2011 Compass Rose Geocoin® is about the critical importance of the sun and navigation. Navigation by the sun was practically second nature a thousand years ago, even though it was not as accurate without special tools as today's methods. It was very important to know where the sun tracked across the sky and exactly where it would rise and set depending on the season. Since the 1700s, knowing the sun's declination was imperative to calculate longitude. Knowing how to gain longitude was very important to calculate accurate navigation and map making.

    The compass rose sun design on the 2011 Compass Rose Geocoin was derived from a map made in 1613. The map covers half of the world on the Atlantic side. Normally, maps containing a great level of artistic detail were not accurate and made only for sale to the general public as display pieces. Ship's captains knew better than to use these kinds of maps; however, this map was not only artistic but also informative.

    Dawn to Dusk (polished gold, recessed front) - Tracking the sun from the morning to the evening is key to good navigation and knowing its ecliptic as each day passes through the seasons.
