Cach-U-Nuts

Arrrgghhhh matey... We made 250 Antique Silver coins for the Coin Quest game. These were given out to the first 250 players who placed. Because of the problems we had with our server and our provider - some players had a hard time logging their final requirements...which caused quite a stir at the end. In an effort to be fair and try to award those who were competing for a final spot we tried to figure out some way to be fair!! We had an additional 40 coins that were 'mis-struck' that we didn't know what to do with...so we decided to offer these to the next 40 players. So...in answer to your question...290 coins were awarded - We've didn't count the number of buttons awarded...but they were NOT numbered Stayed tuned for our next Quest.... Happy Holidays and may everyone's New Year be filled with exciting Adventure!! The Caching Place Team

(commercial link removed by moderator) also offers a FREE code retrieval service! We can also offer a variety of fulfillment services to meet anyone's needs!! Not to mention help folks make an "awesome" coin!!

Wow...that's an awesome card Rusty!! Talk about collectable!! Happy Holidays to your family and to all you crazy coin addicts! May everyone's New Year be filled with many caching adventures!!!

Sorry folks, our hosting service says the datacenter is down. No estimate of how long to get it back up. It feels like a mutiny is in the making and we are powerless to prevent it. All we can do is wait and see what happens.

oh my gawd...I missed ANOTHER ONE....okay, from here on out you're on your own with the 'Coin Quest' game...I can't be missing out on all these deals!! I've been so busy adjusting times I didn't even SEE this coin....talk about getting a life Seriously, I need one of these coins.....did anyone order an extra? Please let me know....I gotta quit this game stuff it's really interfering with my collecting...just kidding...but PLEASE will somebody give me a heads up for ONCE???? Yikes Mrs Cachu

Okay folks, looks like we're still having some server problems We are in the process of trying to work it out...guess there is just to much ACTION for our little ole server to handle. Once the server is up and running and you are able to get in go ahead and make your log - we will then go in and adjust the time to whatever your prior log time was. Please email us once you've made your log Remember....it doesn't do any good to sit and hit refresh every few minutes, your best bet is to go out caching or shopping or whatever you have planned for the day, check in when you return and hopefully we'll have it back up. The amount of traffic hitting it all at the same time is really creating an issue - we really didn't expect this kind of response... so please bear with us here, we're trying our best to resume the game!! I guess now that we have so many 'Quest' addicts we better be investing in a new server before we release our next game eh? Thanks everyone for your support and understanding! We'll keep working on a solution and in the meantime.....go out caching!!

Sorry for the problems guys, guess too many folks are logging in. Please email us and we will make sure to reset your time....we must receive an email from you at: games@thecachingplace.com Thanks for your patience and understanding!!

good job, I finished as well but broke the thing in the process Don't worry, it's all good....the captn can fix it!! It's the darn back button...gotta stay away from that one We'll get ya taken care of right away, once we fix it you'll be able to go in and log your final comments! I guess til we make the program change remember...Don't use the BACK button use the LINKS!! Thanks!

Where on earth are you seeing $4 per coin shipping?

Whatever I have to. I only want #7. You seriously mean to say that you wouldn't LOG for your 16th piece if you can't have #7

Arrgggghhh Matey....the ship's crew reports a coin has been discovered...all hands on deck - tis a good job completed by EpiduralGirl - break out the grog and toast the first of many!! Good luck to ye all!! The scurvy crew!!

Avast Ye Scurvy (edited by moderator) . . . . . Please don't be takin it personal when ya sees the (edited by moderator) message. . . . Most of the problems on our site be because of using the back button . . . . To go back instead of using the links provided. . . . . When a log be posted a flag be set . . . . . And iffen ya try to log again when the flag be there . . . . The (edited by moderator) message ye will see . . . . The way to reset the flag be to go to the page where ya kin choose yur cache type. . Sum folks be usin the back button to get the page to enter yur cache info . . . To Type ahead their information . . . . And use a different browser (or tab) to pick their cache type. . . The problem be that the (deited by moderator) flag never gets reset. . . . Ye must hereby be using the same browser or tab to both choose . . . The cache type and enter the info. Iffen it be speed yer after then simply type one letter for the cache name . . And three letters fer the gc number. The comment can be left blank. Yer time stamp will be set and then you kin edit yer listing and write the biggest gosh darn story that you want. That reminds me. We wud like yall to make videos of yer adventures and write up great storys about yer happenins and send them to us. We want to put together sum dvds and books about peoples adventure with Coin Questing. That be all fer now. . . Ye be dismissed ! ! ! Say What? Well, alright then....plain english: When you enter the cache information and hit submit it sets a flag. If you try to submit the same information again you will get the scurvy message. Going to the page where you choose the cache type turns off the Scurvy flag. Usually the cause of getting the message is due to inappropriate use of the back button. Now get outta here ya scurvy dogs!!! Note: This post also edited by moderator.

This service is available at The Caching Place. Instead of using email the code is given to you instantly when you hit the submit button.

Arrghh! Thee Captn gets it and it tickles his skelton crew. That be a mighty small cave matey, but it could be a good place to hidy your plunder. If yee can find the cache while fighting off the muggle hoards about thee place, you can claim the cache.

Aye matey, tis true..ye be claiming it fer ye #8 or #12 but not fer both.... I have another pesky question please - maybe it's been covered elsewhere, but I can't find it... In the post above it seems that you've said that you can log virtuals for other categories (like cache set in 2003), but I just notived the general rules state that except for category 8, any cache that contains a logbook will qualify. Please can you clarify? Thanks, Bambi. Looks like we could be doin the double step here....by rights, there should be a log book to claim the cache placed in 2003 - now perhaps there was more to this quote as I don't see an answer to the first question...perhaps not - we've been known a time or two to be makin the wrong call - If this be the case, then by all means....you have caught us and so do as you will...

Of course it's NOT to late! Sign up and join in the fun, the reward should be the least of your reasons for playing.....the journey and the FUN may end up being your biggest reward!

He may let you claim a find but to get your map piece it is necessary to find a container and sign a logbook. Be Ye Hereby Warned, The Scurvy Skeleton Is Out Tonite! ! !

thanks fer asking..don't think you'll like me answers... 1 - have already told folks NO on this issue..two players cannot both log FTF's 2 - each cache can only be used once as a requirement...move the little varmint to a different cache...not used as a requirement.. In the end each player should have 16 distint caches. Have fun!

We think not, there was nothing to find...and you found nothing We do hope you're having fun playing! Thanks

Q1 - Aye Matey - go about yer plundering... Q2 - Arrgggg....does a bear, ummm, I mean a pirate hang off the side of his ship..

Email has been sent.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! DREADFULL IS THE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me first mate informs me that some selfish scurulous scum eating malodorous filthy pack of pirate thieves have . . . . Oh wait a minute, Pepper didn't want us doing that anymore. . . . sorry. Various Questions HAR DEE HARR HARR!!! Can't an old pirate have sum fun! Crafty old pirates like us like to scrape the barnacles of the hull now and then to speed things up. Some people just can't take a joke. . . . sheesh! Sonny Boy, This ain't our first trezur map game. We know how easy it is to see the source of images in a web page so we set up a little trap. In this case it was a harmless joke but watch out. Next time it could be deadly! Well, they saw squares 1 and 2 because that was the bait to lure them in and make them think they were pulling a fast one on us. Squares 3 to 16 were just of a blank scroll with no map information and only contained code symbols that were part of the trap. But maybe it's an advantage to have worked with the code symbols. In that case you should all have the same advantage. OK, OK, a lesson in pirate crafitness and sneakery is in order. A fart smeller. . I mean a smart feller would look at the web page with his or her first map piece and would view the source to see where the map image was loaded from. He or she would notice the the map image was called map1.gif and all the other map squares were called unfound.jpg. OOOH. . . . that gives a greedy grimy pirate an idea! hmmmm http://www.cachunuts.com/coinquest/map1.gif ... ... ... ... a little scissor work ... ... .. a little scotch tape ... ok enuf already. go on. get outa here. But don't forget to clean out all the officers chamber pots and swab the decks before you go. This place is a pig pen No but they may show me the door if I'm not careful! If only I could make enuf money from the pillaging. . . ah that wud be the life. We'll get you taken care of.

We may have bumped into each other as I was uploading an update to the web page. Your time has been reset so you can try again. Also, let me know what time you originally tried and I will adjust your time accordingly

A cache that contains poetry about an actual dog is ok. No, just having the word DOG won't do it. There must be an actual canine involved somehow.

We made some changes to the leader board last night that hopefully are not causing a problem. Are you able to get to some pages and not others? What kind of browser are you using?
