I think signature items are cool. They seem to range from nice custom metal coins to voodoo dolls to something as simple as a smooth stone with a geonick painted on it. Each one's different and each one represents the uniqueness of the person who placed it.

I have a small collection of sig items that I've traded for. Not sure what I'll do with them. They're not worth much in the "real" world. But I guess the hoarder in me just wants to have them.

I recently read some logs of a brand new cacher in my area who mentioned putting their handmade sig item into some caches. I haven't seen one. And I know it's absolutely worthless. But I find myself wanting to come across one so I can add it to my collection.

So this thread is to show us your signature item. They're all equal in value and coolness in my eyes. Doesn't matter if you spent ten bucks a piece to get custom coins minted or if you hand crafted something yourself that costs next to nothing (like mine).

I started out making deerskin pouches. Unique. Not very useful or valuable. Time consuming to make. But kinda cool I thought. After making and depositing many of those into my favorite caches I started thinking about something I could whip out a little faster. That's when I came up with the mini hiking sticks. I can make a couple dozen of those in about the time it takes for one deerskin pouch. I know, my laziness is showing through. So show us your signature item(s).

Those are some cool mini-sticks; can't wait to get my hands on one!
I've gotta take a picture or two of the sig items I've collected over the years. Got a drawer full of neat stuff from nickels, non-trackable coins, rocks, bookmarks, and a JTRU toy Jeep.

This thread is to show us your own. But I'd really like to see your collection too. New thread for collections? This thread? Whatever.

Looks like I've got to get my camera out and start taking some pics of my many hundreds of sig items I've been collecting over the years, I think I have maybe 3 or 4 cigar boxes of them. Mostly from my caching in Maine though. I have also made a few different ones myself to leave in caches as well and have got to get off my butt and do some caching and make some new unique sig items for my new home here in Georgia. Thanks for posting this great topic.

What a neat idea! I don't have any sig items... yet. But I like the idea a whole lot, so.... I'm gonna come up with something!

Some of my signature items.

Very nice! Three of those have found their way into my collection. Something tells me a Jeep will be needed to find the others.

Nice collection, LZ. I'm puzzled why I don't have this collection already.....?

Got 'em all.

Our sig is our pathtag, which is our avatar on this forum. My spouse designed the "KB" to look like a bottle with three stars coming out to represent the three of us.

As for other folk's stuff, we've found a few wooden coins and about 5 pathtags. Our favorite find has been a tiny knitted bag (like two inches by one inch). The person who made those put a single glass bead in each one. We saw those in two separate caches down in Charleston, GA. My young teen daughter elected to take the second of the two.
