Bad Andy GeocoinI haven't been able to find out who "Bad Andy" is or was, but there is a geocoin crafted in his honour. A glance at another geocaching blog revealed the Latin iinscription found on the coin.
mutuus sursum vel mutuus parkilis = "Trade up or trade even"
This is an important principle of geocaching - when retreiving geocoins or bric-a-brac gifts from people's caches - you are supposed to replace it with something of equivalent worth, or better.
I don't go in for leaving trinkets. And I'm afraid that I tend to take trackables without having anything to leave in return.
Nevertheless, it's always pleasurable to build up a horde of geocoins, dump them in one cache and sit back to watch the resultant scavenging...
Nevertheless - nice to pick up a new geocoin icon today after a fairly barren couple of weeks on the geocaching front.
