Are you guys off your meds?
Do they come in spice jars?
You betcha! But the heavy duty stuff...the really good stuff... comes in containers strongly resembling PB jars.

I received one of these jewels in the mail several days ago.
It was our average January day...8° , no sun, windy, & a few flurries. The usual mad dash out to the mailbox resulted in a day in which the coin made up for lack of sunshine.
Thanks to Wildcat Kelly for the great surprise.
My appreciation for all the "mystery" geocoins out there runs deep.

I realize this is the "normal" procedure. I know the system won't allow a member to place a subscriber only, but will it allow a member to adopt one already listed as subscriber only.
Let's just say that someone sent an adoption request & forgot to mark it for everyone. If it could be adopted, but not viewed/edited by the member, that would leave the cache in limbo.

I couldn't find this anywhere else, so......
Can a subscriber only cache be adopted by a regular member?
If so, can the member view/edit his/her cache afterwards?
Thanks,

MWGB 2007 GCZRVY is not too far away. I was wondering who out there is coming and bringing coins to trade? I would like to see MWGB be close to GW5 with traders and maybe a get together as well
. Sooo who is in??A 10 minute drive for me. I think I may be able to make it.

WooHoo! I got a "Bit O Gold" yesterday. An excellent reward for a long day spent in the fields, not that the two are related. Just a great way to end a perfect day.
My thanks to the Geo_Leprechaun!

A jeep used to clean the environment. I would feel guilty if I didn't vote for the CITO jeep (#6) of big green giving something back to the hobby.
I second this. All the photos are neat, but a jeep shown doing CITO work is in a class of it's own. A case of not all play, but can work too.
I go for #6 also.

After a long hiatus from exchanging wooden nickels/tokens, and from checking the forums in general, I'd like to get back into the midst of things.
I've found a few of my wooden nickels hidden away in one of my caching bags and would love to swap with anyone that would wish to.
I've also had problems with gmail, so I've changed that to another. Plus I found hundreds of gc.com mails hidden in there. If anyone has mailed me before, with no response from me, please resend. I will get back to you.
Thanks Everyone,

I really like that you put a reference to Indy Diver's virtual cache on the coin.
Ditto! Great job.
I agree. And that cache is on my "to do" list for in the very near future....
My compliments on the overall coin design. Well done.

Good Ol AtlantaGal let me in on this coin being in Indiana... And 12 miles from my house... Ran to grab it, only to find out the World Geocoin Trader Bluegillfisherman beat me to another one.... It is a good cache though, it was where I found my first Shadow Geocoin...
Watch your back BGF....

My log from GCRG75.
September 4 by bluegillfisherman (1016 found)
I've been following the travels of The Geocoin Fairy for two weeks now. I could only dream the travels would reach Indiana. Yeah, sure. Fairys don't exist, right?
I fell very ill last night and spent the whole evening & night dragging around. So sometime in the middle, I checked out The Geocoin Fairys travels.
Oooooo....a stop in Indiana, only a couple hundred miles away! Mind you, I've driven 700+ for a M10B coin, so a couple hundred would be a piece of cake......except, I should've been in the ER instead.
Anyway, around dawn I started feeling good enough to finally fall asleep. I slept most of the day away, then got up and had another looksee to see if anyone had picked up The Geocoin Fairy's coin. Sure enough, they did, and seeing who it was, I know it will be well appreciated.
But....how in the world did I not see the OTHER cache log, only 7 miles away? Here! In a stupor? Bleary eyes maybe? A quick ten minute drive and it's mine, except...will it still be there? Is it for real? After all, there are others nearby looking for one too. Off I go...
Arriving at the cache, I didn't see any fresh footprints in the tall grass, knowing full well that any Fairy wouldn't leave any. (but cachers would) So my hopes jumped again. Could there really be a Geocoin Fairy?
I grabbed the cache, and as I opened it, I dropped the whole thing. It couldn't have been anticipation, just a slippery container.
All the contents spilled out, and the first thing I saw was this geocoin with a Fairy on it. WooHoo! Mine! Mine! All Mine!
I vaguely recall signing the log and leaving a new Geocache Earth coin in exchange. I don't remember much about the drive home, as I was too busy looking at the coin, still in disbelief.
Thanks to The Geocoin Fairy for a great coin! And I also must add, I BELIEVE! I BELIEVE!

administrative procedure will require you to send 2 (two) separate checks (one made out to ACRES Land Trust for the membership and the second $10 administrative geocache fee to Tennyson Jelinek) when you are sending your permit application to the ACRES Office.

Is this the first pay-to-cache policy implemented to GEOCACHE in INDIANA?

This is great! Thanks Moun10Bike, for sharing the information. An exceptional example of it not being all about the $$. A special thanks to twin Peaks for his generosity!

I would like to trade you this:
For something off my seeking list linked in my sig line.
Wait, what is this coin you say?
Well, I'm betting this coin isn't very public. But, it's owner was gracious enough to allow a trade of it. So, if you want to know more, and think you can offer something off my list (other HTFs considered), come on down. Oh, and this coin has never been sold, only given away to friends and family.
Hey! I was given one of those yesterday. It has a good home now.
Ditto!

In another thread (several actually), coins have been offered at prices above the cost to procure them.
These coins are then sold at a profit.
What happens to that profit?
1) it goes into the sellers hands
2) it is sometimes used to provide "free" or "cache" coins.
3) sometimes both
The above is fine, but not all that relevant to the question I pose:
Do you support commercial coins? If so, what are the ranges of prices you would pay for a coin?
As I pose the question, I suppose I should go first and provide BOTH a yes and a no!
I will buy the odd commercial coin if it is from an organization or of very high interest to me (like a place I used to live or visit). I will not buy personal coins that seek to make a profit.
My reasoning behind this is that a "geocoin" to me is not a souvenir, but an artifact of an activity and hobby. So when I acquire a state or organizational coin, I know that the profit is likely benefiting the hobby as a whole. I will pay up to about $10 and ussually only $7-8 max.
When I trade for a personal coin, I know that I acquired it from a cacher that had it made as part of their interest in the hobby. I ran out of my coins and had to stop trading, but I have a new order of 100 different coins coming in soon for face-to-face trades.
To me, a personal design that is sold at a profit, regardless of the number of ammo cans, etc, etc on it isn't a true geocoin. It's a way for someone to either subsidize their own coin or make money at the expense of the hobby -- I truely believe that the glut in these coins has hurt the hobby more than it has helped.
I do feel folks have the right to create, sell, buy and do whatever they want. I just ain't shopping.
That's MY story and I'm sticking to it! What are your thoughts?
Been ditto'd, but ditto once again.

Thinking of trading your old Avroair coins... Don't like micro coins and you happen to have an avroair one...
Then trade them back to me!
Recently I have seen this issue as a recurring theme: I think alot of people have seen their own coins sold on ebay or traded out of a collection and many of us don't have any (or many) of our own personal coins left. I would like the chance to get some of my own coins back before they go on the auction block.
So trade them back to me! Pick me! Choose me! and feel free to post if you are out of your own personals and want them back when they are freed up!
Thanks!

For satirical humor to work, there must be an element of truth in it. Note Torry's caption for the picture above, where he makes fun of the fact that Patrick pees on stuff every ten seconds when in the woods.
Non sensical name-calling accompanied by a smiley usually doesn't work and can be offensive to thin-skinned dogs.. Ba-dump-bum.
Try a caption for this one:
C'mon, C'mon....Hurry up already!
