These super huge (3" x 5MM) geocoins are still available to buy. They are now $18 for the set with the matching pathtag. It is a super cool rendition of Amanda Stewart's painting of the Indian War Pony. With the new postage rates it is not really a good item to send internationally. I just sent one to Europe and it cost $12.75 on postage first class (new rate). SO I wanted everyone to know that I am going to MOGA so if you are attending I can bring it and save you the postage. Domestic is $3.99 due to the weight of this coin (6oz). email me through my geocaching mail or at packerbacker31@hotmail.com thanks!

I do still have a few of each finish (Satin Silver or Antique Silver) available. These are $20 and I can bring them to you at MOGA if you want to save on the shipping. Poastal shipping is still available for domestic at $3.50 but Europe cost me $8.88 since the price increase. Anyhow I just wanted to send out the option of being able to get these from me at MOGA in case you are attending that MEGA EVENT!

I still have some of the Version 3 with the two pathtags. These are $20. As far as delivery, I am going to MOGA so I can bring them with me to give them to you there. Or I can ship them of course. domestic is still $3.50 but international is crazy I know my 12-12-12 coins took $8.88 to send one to Europe. My War Pony cost $12.75 to mail to Europe. Anyhow the option to bring coins to you at MOGA is available. thanks.

unfortunately with the new postal rates that just went into effect. I would say it is $9.99 for this coin alone. $12.99 for Titanic and Hindenburg. Might as well pick them up at Geocoinfest in Vegas! LOL thanks, Steve Allen aka mo pirate

Sure I have a few of each left. $20 with pathtag. thanks

I am still looking for 5 more 12-12-12 event coins to fill my 2 pages in my album (40 coins). I have the 20 pretrade coins so I don't need them. I have the Germany 3. and several others. I need 5 more and I have doubles of several others if you want to trade. I have some of mine left too. I am also willing to buy those that 5. only a few that I really don't want so most all others are good for me if you want to trade or sell. I have Denver, AE edition, naked silver and naked gold, the rainbow, and pink, too so please tell me about any from the UK or Austrailia or N texas, or Pittsburgh, or Space Coast or ....??? What have you??? Thanks my email is packerbacker31@hotmail.com

Jackhoe, these are pretty nice. I also got the Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest coin. I am glad as me mum was from Nottingham England. She was a war bride from WWII. Both of my parents are gone now but I have been over there a few times and visited the Major Oak at Sherwood Forest. Glad I have this nice coin which means something to me. I spent 3 months over there as a kid in 1958. and then returned 2 others times as an adult. thanks for sharing, MO Pirate

I got 3 or 4 packges today! Christmas again as my wife says!

I have about 150 trackables out in the wild......or should I say I "DID" have that many out. I now believe it is closer to 50 out and about. I have tried to remind some of the last known holders of mine to please move them on and some say they no longer have them and some have gone by the wayside in a stolen or "bulldozed" cache container! One guy said he and his wife were now divorced so "go ask the b---- for it" cause he didn't get anything from the divorce! LOL If you have an item with a travel bug (dog tag) attached there is a "copy" of the tag included so it can be released. Another way is to make up a laminated picture of the item and have the same number printed on it and circulate it as if it were the real thing (not many like this tho as it does not give the finder a true vision of the trackable). I have made another coin or dog tag with a trophy engraver making the same number and them attaching it or circulating it with the trackable at geocaching.com label attached. As others have said it is not your responsibility to keep guard on their trackable. If so, I have about a hundred people who owe me coins!!! I have had some resurface about 6 months to 2 years later. It is sure a surprise to me. Some finders forget they have them in their bags when they get home from a trip. I too found one we threw in out glove box while out and found it 8 months later cleaning out the cachemobile. I am sure they were glad to see it resurface. One that was gone for about a year was actually replaced by me with the copy tag duplicate of the travel bug dog tag. So I had 2 roaming around in different parts of the globe. One was in Washington state area while the other one was in Germany. Needless to say it got a lot of miles on it as the two items moved about. Only one remains again so problem solved on that deal.

THANKS, I really appreciate that! I have a couple on the drawing board and one that I have been trying to get a mint to do but they say it is too complicated. (and expensive) BUT I will keep trying! later, MO Pirate

Starting the new year off right........and broke!

WOW! How big is that huge one? Looks larger than my WAR PONY coin! Happy New Year to you and yours too!

Sorry, I spelled it correctly on submission so it was after that. Maybe Joe Friday can investigate!

Merry Christmas from the Midwest! MO Pirate

sorry, I am out!

I see they are mysteresly gone from ebay after I had placed a nice bid on them. Hummmmmm!

Our 12-12-12 Multi Event in St Joseph, MO was held to benefit the Noyes Home for Children. Here is the poster made by and signed by the kids that are helped there (as they live there). Seems like we are all thinking of kids nowadays! Thanks to the local cachers who attended for the $495 raised from raffle ticket sales. Thanks also to all who donated the dor prizes for this raffle. We also managed to fill a big tub of product for the Noyes Home's ne Toddler Room. Sho me da cache held a separate event "Oh Snap!" (a cookie exchange) here at the same location. What a great time for a great cause. thanks to all!

Boy now that was a crazy, frantic time. The out of stock or not enough stock notice made me go nuts but I am sure a got a few! Thanks for the fun way to get rid of money and nerves at the same time. I need a nap now!

Nice to see all those 12-12-12 coins on ebay. Why do they have their GC numbers on them for all to see? Geez?!?!??!?!

I have some extras for sale of the St Joseph, MO event. We had over 85 at the event and several ended up sick and unable to make it. I have a limited number left. If anyone not in the organized trade would like to trade for one of mine please let me know via email ASAP. Thanks, MO Pirate

I am going with 188 PM here

Someone better tell the Noob in our group that there is NO DISTRIBUTION till after the event date unless coins are going to another event host. They were Well, my mistake, I did not remember reading that part. I did list them and did sell them to Germany people so altho I made them available before the event, I can say they will not reach Germany til after the 12th. I will not list any until after the event. Hope everyone has a great event. I am hoping for weather like today! Sunny and 63. I am also releaseing my 12 days of Christmas on the 12th. Should be fun too. later, MO Pirate
