GC10000
The GC10000 Geocoin series consists of 3 different unique high quality (die struck brass-bronze core) geocoin versions available in a variety of finishes. These coins were created to commemorate the cache GC10000 - A New Beginning which marked a significant milestone in the history of geocaching.com that took place on Tuesday, December 26, 2006 at 3:18am EST. This marked the end of the 6-digit geocaching.com waypoint ID and at the same time the start of the new 7-digit waypoint ID. My cache GC10000 - A New Beginning has the honour of having the first 7-digit waypoint ID of GC10000. See the GC10000 cache page for more information about this historic moment and also the April 2007 edition of the Ontario Geocaching Association newsletter.
All coins come with Edge Text commemorating the date and time of the GC10000 geocache.

Darkest Dreams - Unsere dunkelsten Träume werden wahr. Wir sind leidenschaftliche Nachtcacher und soweit es uns möglich ist, stürzen wir uns sofort auf jeden neuen Nachtcache in unserer Gegend. Je geheimnisvoller desto besser. Nachtcaches haben ihren ganz besonderen Reiz und Charme, kaum ein anderer Cachetyp bietet mehr Ideenvielfalt und Einfallsreichtum als ein Nachtcache. Zudem baut sich eine tolle bisweilen gar geheimnissvolle und mysteriöse Athmosphäre dabei auf.
Angefangen hat alles mit den berüchtigten "Night Missions" in unserer bayerischen Umgebung. Von Mission Mike über Mission Delta bis zu Mission November waren wir uneingeschränkt begeistert von diesen tollen Caches. Wer hinter diesen tollen Missionen steckt weiss ein jeder der diese Abenteuer gemacht hat. Manch andere kennen ihn auch noch in seiner Funktion als deutscher Reviewer für Geocaches auf www.geocaching.com. Aber bei uns ist er hauptsächlich als Team Guzbach bekannt. Wie oft hörte man den Ausspruch " Ein typischer Guzbach...". Dieses Team, oder nennen wir ihn einfach mal dieser "Guzbach" erstellte dann auch die Web Seite www.nightcaching.org. Selbst ein eigenes Nightcaching Logo ziert die Seite und natürlich ist es auch in den Listings seiner Nachtcaches zu finden. Leider ist diese Seite nicht mehr auf dem aktuellsten Stand und auch "Guzbach" ist nur noch selten unterwegs. Die Zeiten ändern sich eben. Zu Ehren dieses Cachers und als Huldigung und als Dank für seine tollen Nachtcaches, aber natürlich auch weil wir Nachtcachen einfach lieben, haben wir eine Geocoin produzieren lassen. Nach fast über einem Jahr Planung und Arbeit an der Coin freuen wir uns, ermöglicht durch www.geocoinshop.de, Euch die "Darkest Dreams" Geocoin vorstellen zu dürfen.
Year of the Tiger

This coin can definitely be a collector's item or can be a unique gift idea for someone you know
