You’ve probably heard me mention Celtic stones as swag we usually leave at a cache. Creating these has become a new hobby for D.
Using the Dremel hand tool he has been carving crosses, runes, and other symbols into flat, small stones. He then accents them with a bit of permanent marker.

I purchased some Celtic rubber stamps at the last Irish Fest in Dublin and have found they work well on flat smooth stones. I’ve been using a thin coating of acrylic metallic paint on the stencil. A bit of clear spray after the stencil paint dries serves as a protectant.

We also made our own “logo” to represent our geocaching username – BradClanOH. D likes skulls and crossbones and thought it tied in since we search for "treasures" and "X marks the spot"; of course, it had to have something Irish; and then we just piled it all on Ohio!
