Has anyone seen one of these?

"Delorme Globe Geocoin Delorme Spinner
You may have seen the coin in person at Geocoinfest this past weekend, or seen photo's in the forums.

This coin was created by Delorme as part of the launch of their new GPS.

The coins are all owned by Team Delorme. As Delorme employees travel the country they will be dropping the coins in caches. The best way to find one is to watch the Team Delorme profile."

And where do you find the Team Delorme profile?

I guess this is the GCM.org representative (http://www.geocachingmaine.org/forum/member.php?u=1249) from Team Delorme.

And here is their profile on GC.com (http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=095e1ab0-3c49-48e4-a8d0-4dea5a6da840&wid=97d30f8e-ef5d-4a43-8114-f2e6998725d3&ds=2).

They've got 250 of the coins, but each one is listed as "location unknown" - meaning not released yet?

The first eartha coin has just been released! Good luck everyone!

Where / how did you see this? All 250 coins are still showing as in the hands of the owner? :confused:

And recovered by Team Richards!

WOOO HOOO The first coin released. What a great day.

Congrats to Team Richards....can't wait to see the little token!

Secret connections. :D

Ah, coins are being released - two in CA in the last two days. DeLorme is out there doing demos on their new PN40s at REI.

Here are the Page numbers for 2 of the ones in CA ~ TB2NYTM and TB2NYTQ.

I wonder if they will be at the local REI near here? That would be cool.

If you contact the store and ask, if DeLorme is coming to demo their new PN40 and teach their sales people you might have an inside idea.:)

Fingers crossed for you!:D

There appears to definitely be a connection with REI. Especially as far as the coins released in CA. Another went out last night - at a celebration for 5000 finds for workerofwood - and the caching journey last night for the 5000th sounded like fun.

Anyway - the cacher is an REI instructor. Haffy - get in touch with them - find out when DeLorme is coming down your way!

250 coins - 1 Maine, 3 California - 246 to go!

Thanks I just might do that...

Another "found" in San Francisco - here tis - TB2NYTD. 245 left to go! This person logged they are hanging onto it until they find a cache which is "worthy". California coiners will be following this person for a long time.

A number of these coins have been released in CA and Chip has posted more information in the National Geocoin forums. Folks are finding them.

Thank you very much Hollora, as always you are right on the ball.

And the next announcement is that Team DeLorme is using Twitter to make announcements - read here at this link - http://twitter.com/delormegps

Seems I missed out on their visit to the local to me REI,they were there on the 29th. What a bummer,and I wanted so much to see the PN-40 in action too. Didn't know about the Twitter site and I even had a message on the Delorme forum blog which I hadn't visited for a couple of weeks telling me that they missed seeing me at the REI demo that they had in Pineville. :(

I just found out about Twitter too - interesting place and Geocaching.com Jeremy and Lackeys are using it too. That's a bummer that you missed their visit. Did they drop any coins in the area? Some of the coins they drop they are just putting into the caches with no notes. Folks are just finding them.....

I just got an Eartha coin today from Chip Noble himself woo hoo. Very cool looking. Check it out on my geocaching profile
