Turtle Tracks Fundraiser Coin



The new Turtle Tracks Fundraiser Geocoin is now available! This collector coin is unique in many ways--to start with it is primarily a fundraiser for the Turtle Tracks Eastern Box Turtle conservation project at Earthshine. On one side it has a full color picture of "Tripod" one of the turtles that live in the Earthshine turtle enclosure. On the other side it has an Eastern Diamondback rattler and it rattles--yes it rattles like a rattlesnake! (see a pic in the photos below)

So why a rattlesnake and not another turtle --well, I also work with snakes and my favorite of all snakes is the Rattlesnake--and the Eastern Diamondback is the largest of them all. I thought it would be cool if the coin rattled and the great folks at Coinsandpins.com (the makers of the coin) made it happen--amazing!

This is a fundraiser coin so all money from the sale of each coin will go to help fund the “Turtle Tracks” Eastern Box Turtle conservation and education project at Earthshine.

If you are wondering what a CrotalusRex and Mimichan are--that is my wife Marian and I and those are our Geocaching names. Geocaching is an international outdoor family oriented GPS based scavenger hunt game that is a great way to spend quality time with friends and family in nature.

Thank you,
Steve
