    Look Twice GeoCoin

    in Trackables

    Posted

    OK, remember that there will be some prizes by random draw among ALL POSTS in this thread. That is still coming, as well as some prizes for the Mini Categories that I have added. Here's another Mini Category, and this will hopefully get the post count to jump.

     

    I will be eventually releasing 100 of these Coins under my own account. I can't possibly think of 100 Missions, and do not want to repeat them, so...

     

    Please post Missions for my Coins. I will need 100 different missions. Post only one Mission per post, and make sure it is not too long to fit in the Mission Section of a Coin Page. I will try my best to paste them into the Coin pages just the way you write them, whenever I get to activate the Coins. Remember that these Coins will still be owned by me, but the Mission can be anything that you think of. These do not have to fit the Guidelines of discussing Bike Safety. That message will be carried in the "About this Item" section, and is also carried by the Coin's name and design. Start Posting those Missions. Please feel free to ask any questions too.

     

     

    Umm...Yeah...I never imagined that it would be 5 whole years before I got these 100 coins activated and traveling. It's been a long hard road to get here but I am finally getting this done. I don't really want to go into great detail on all the things that have gotten in the way of this, but I'm happy to be getting these moving. I no longer have 100 of the original yellow versions so these will be a mix of the special versions, mostly Green and Orange. At this point I'm planning to drop them all into an event in Seattle in August. They should spread out quickly from there. Keep a watch here for links to the coins as I edit the Missions

    False Advertising

    Is the coin supposed to be yours or named after the original Tennessee Jed?

    A geocacher named Bullwinkle doesn't have any more rights to a Bullwinkle Geocoin than anyone else (if anyone here does at all)

    Either way, the coin should be advertised under it's proper name. Looks like it says TN or Bust and a date...was that a GW coin?

    Owner wiped out all logs for geocoin

    in Trackables

    Perhaps that is a request/suggestion that we can post to GS. A coin is activated for the first time by a "First" owner. There could be a checkbox that says

    "can delete all previous logs" or "previous logs will move to new owner" on an adoption.

     

    When we see this the first thing that comes to mind is the new owner does not have a clue about the meaning of travelers.

     

    What a shame..... :tongue:

    Hmmm...perhaps there might be a way that a transfer of ownership could come with the option to assign a new TB number, protecting all the old logs...giving the new TB numbera clean slate and leave the logs assigned to the old TB number. That's something that would have to go into the feature suggestions though.

    Big Changes in US Postal Service Come January

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I saw today that they were comparing the speed back to 1775. :) Right now it takes 1-3 days roughly. Apparently it will take a little longer at 2-5 days. That was how long it took to deliver mail on horse back then within a few states. The rates don't look like they will be all that bad. Yeah it stinks to have to pay more but it could be worse. If the USPS were to go away and we had to ship those small packages through UPS or FedEx I think it would be quite a bit more for such light packages.

     

    What's the rush? Isn't anticipation part of the fun of collecting? ;)

    I agree. with all the time, care, and planning that goes into each minting, 1-7 days delay in delivery is hardly an issue. Of course, I spend weeks waiting on Postcards from all over, so my opinion is a little off.

    Omni Animalia Geocoin - NOW FOR SALE!

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I guess I stands for an impala, right?

    So close! Actually I guess that works now that I googled it. I was shooting for Ibex...they must share some dna :)

     

    Now, the next mystery (ok not so much) is that the icons on the front of the coin spell something, once decoded.

     

    either ICON or COIN? ....could be NOIC or ONIC though I suppose! :D

    I think it's actually COINZ

    Tiki Treasure Tag(Mission, of sorts)

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Has the TB number for the tag been shared here in the thread, or do we have to wait until we receive the box until we can track it/see the map for its journey?

    As far as I know it has not been shared. I'm going to keep it to myself, but I won't stop anyone else from sharing it(the public number of course). someone could always sort through the Trackables I own to find it too...

    2011 Christmas Clearance Mission

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Ugh...everything I touch for the past two years gets behind schedule...completely my fault. I am working on this right now. everyone will have their assignments tonight. I hope that most of you have already chosen some gift items that are of a wide enough interest, since almost everything is gone from the stores by now. It looks like we have a small field this year...12 entries and two from me.

    No L

    What does that mean, NO L? No love? Not a loser? Not a lover? No legs???? Please help me. :blink::(

    Took me a minute too...No L = Noel

     

    This was a big surprise to me, since I haven't done very much in Coining for quite a while, and I've really dropped the ball on a few things too. I was delighted to get this surprise in the mail. It has a special place unted the desktop tree that my roomates gave me!! Thank you so much, and Merry Christmas!!

    2011 Christmas Clearance Mission

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Once again it's time to do the Christmas Clearance and Regifting Mission!!

     

    This one has been a lot of fun in the past, and since I'm settled into a new place to live I think I can handle hosting it once again...

     

    Here we go...

     

    By now we all should be familiar with the concept, but I'll run through it anyway.

     

    The Christmas Clearance and Regifting Mission is a chance to have some fun raiding the After Christmas Clearance Sales in search of that perfectly appropriate, strangely inappropriate, or just plain ridiculous gift for someone special(or random, as the cards may fall). If you sign up for this mission, you will receive a random name of one of the other participants and you will need to send them at least ONE Trackable(unactivated) Geocoin, as well as something you score in the After Christmas Clearance Sales(or something you received as a gift, and are passing along Example...Haha, anyone need a 2XL Men's Blue Polo Shirt?) The Clearance/Regifting item should have about the same value as a Geocoin($5-$12) as a starting point. If you choose to send additional items, that's up to you. I cannot take special assignment requests, and this is an INTERNATIONAL MISSION. If you are unable or unwilling to ship your package to anywhere on the globe, please do not sign up.

     

    What you will need to send...

    1. At least ONE Trackable(unactivated) Geocoin.

    2. At least ONE additional Gift from the Christmas Clearance Sales or a Regift(in the $5-$12 range).

    3. Whatever other fun you can come up with.

     

    Information I need when you sign up...

    1. Your prefered Email address

    2. Your Geocaching name

    3. Your Shipping name

    4. Your COMPLETE Mailing address

    5. Your Age and Gender(as specific as you want your sender to consider)

     

    Any questions can be posted in this thread, and if you have requests about what to receive(allergies Etc.), you can discuss that here too, not in your sign up email. Please contact me through my Geocaching Profile to sign up.

     

    Here's the timeline...

    Sign up by December 25

    Assignments sent by January 1

    Send your package by January 31

     

    After you sign up, please keep your status updated in this thread

    MM/DD...Signed up

    MM/DD...Received assignment

    MM/DD...Package shipped

    MM/DD...Received Package

     

    Other random rules...

    You may request up to TWO assignments for each person on your team,

    Please do NOT send anything that cannot be discussed/displayed in these forums,

    Consider the climate where your shipment is going when you choose your gifts.

     

    Can not delete text on my coins page

    Looks like the folks at GGA may have included a geocoin description with the volunteer coins they made. No, it's not typical but coin makers and associations that commission coins can be a bit non conformist at times. I wouldn't sweat it unless it really bothers you.

    Wow...if that's true, I wish I would have known about it when I had my Look Twice Coins made
