DISCOVERED: Memoires of a Geocoin Designer LE - Volume 1

It is signed by the author, Chris A. Mackey, and numbered 455/1000. This is the first ever book about geocoins.  

Ask a hundred different geocachers to describe a geocoin and its purpose in the caching world and you will receive a hundred unique and wonderful descriptions. The secret of its appeal is in its incredibly diverse concepts of value. Those values are almost impossible to define in a fixed dollar amount, however. The real wealth in geocoins is measured in the stories of their origins, in the shared memories of discovery, with strangers met, with lifelong friendships made, and in a shared love of finding treasure in the most unlikely of places every day all around the world.

For one designer, the discovery of geocoins alters life forever as a whole new path of creative outlet opens and soon collaboration with cachers around the world results in hundreds of new coins as unique as the people and interests they represent. Follow along through the eyes of an artist with a passion for geocoins as the design process evolves and unfolds with disappointment, delight, humor, despair, enhancement and humility as different lessons are learned with each new coin.

Discover the untold stories behind the coins, the secrets hidden within their designs, tips & tricks for creating your own and the rich reward of satisfactions earned when collaboration and hard work generate works of distinction sought by collectors around the world. This is the first volume in the everlasting journey of new ideas Discovered and the collected memoires of one coin hound on the long trail where anything can happen when the magic of a geocoin beckons.
