I would also love to have another series come out.. Love the idea about the skunk or how about a lizard that camos himself to look like a cache container with ammo tape on it.. I know that is kind of farfetched but thought it would be cool.

I would love to have one of these coins.. Have a cache that Team Roboknight has put out "Legend of Bisanabis Gold" that would fit it perfectly.. PLease put me down if you decide for 2 of them.. Thanks

Would love to get a set.. But me down.. Thanks

I was not sure how many of these pins I had left but still have quite a few. I did not want to add these to the post till I was sure but if you purchase a coin and would like to buy a matching pin. it will be an added 1.50 for each pin. If you buy a coin there will be no extra shipping. I do apologize to all the cachers who had purchased a coin today that I did not have this up earlier. If you still wish to get one let me know.** They do not glow in the dark but are great pins.. They were designed by Roboknight himself!

Would love to get the rudolph the tree with train on the bottom the elf one too.. Let us know what you decide! Thanks

Cant wait would love to get one..

Hi everyone, I had been going to a website where you saw new coins being offered at times. You had to be online and catch it during that time to buy the coin. Does anyone know what the link to that website might be or where everyone can see new geocoins besides the geocoin club ones? Thanks so much

Hi.. Would love to purchase these coins can you put me on your list please? I was thinking maybe a reindeer/rudolph cache. Lighting your way to the cache or rudolpgh with your nose so bright help me find my cache at night.. Just some ideas.. Please let me know what you think. Thanks team roboknight Would like one set of each.. Thanks

I would like to order 4 of the coins if they are still avaliable please.. Thanks Roboknight

Didn't seem appropriate because many people around here use GSAK. Paperless caching and all being the rage around here didn't want someone to think their hint field got screwed up and didn't download. Kind of like those pages in a book that say, "This page left intentionally blank"... But for those I always try to use something short like "none" or "n/a" for others using paper. Although 3 of our later caches do just have empty hint fields. None of those is really a puzzle ("Where's the Barn?" is really just a multi but the reviewer wanted it to be a puzzle so people would park in a certain place and not somewhere else) I do have to agree that putting something like "This cache is just so easy that you won't need a single solitary clue to finding it" is out of line and probably would just make someone frustrated. Plus, you are never really sure how much people want you to give away in a hint. Do they just want it given to them? Do they just need a nudge? I guess I could switch to putting in markers at certain points in hints that tell you how much is being given away. I've seen that done a few times, and it was nice because you could choose how much of a hint you needed to decode. Also, some paperless Garmin users get hosed by long detailed hints. Something like "Check the fallen tree with three branches and no needles", a possibly useful hint, might get turned into "Check the fallen tree with" (I think it is actually a 32 char limit), a completely useless hint. Since it is a "hint" field it also depends on how someone defines "hint". Someone posted the "You can find it" hint early on in this thread. Its a hint. Granted, a hint with limited usefulness, but a hint. I've seen others that say things like "Reach into the drainpipe and feel around. You'll find it about 2 inches up." Is that a hint, or a giveaway? Couldn't tell you either way (as there might have been several drainpipes in the area), but someone thought it was a hint. Besides even hints that were probably good when the cache was placed like "Check the fallen log", similar to what I posted before, but which prove to be worthless after a hurricane and there are hundreds of fallen logs can be frustrating. The cache owner couldn't have known his hint was useless unless it was just a joke hint (i.e. "Between a rock and a hard place" in a field of rocks). But I was sure frustrated by it. After examining our caches the only hint that we've given that I think is really bad after following this thread was "Try everything" (expecting the find to be difficult, but not wanting people to give up TOO quickly)... However, because of that hint, a cacher went to Walmart, bought a ladder and checked high up in a tree... Made for a good log, but I have been considering revising that one since it ended up in a DNF for him as well as a ladder. As yet haven't come up with a clue that just didn't give it away (the container is nicely camoed for the area so we expected people to take a LITTLE time to find it) so I haven't changed it yet, but don't want people to rush out buying ladders either.

Yeah, I've seen the reference to Old Gentleman as well, and it may be more acurate, but he also seems to have some reference as the old man of the sea according to some other sources and definitions, which I thought might better fit HI. However, it seems that is little help thus far. Unless it is some veiled reference to a far off place, like NH, where the Old Man of the Mountain no longer resides, but I doubt it. Are a good deal of people spending time on this one? I'm curious because I've noticed little activity in this thread since I was here last. I would have figured someone would have claimed the gold bullion by now.

I've given a few useless hints, but only to puzzle caches where I wanted the difficulty to be *HARD*. However, I have seen these given as hints: 1) Cache is under some deadfall Of course I was searching for the stupid thing after a huge windstorm the week before... 2) Between a rock and a hard place This was used on a cache in a rock bed... ha ha... 3) Look for a fallen log Same thing as for #1. 4) Near a beech tree Which of the 100 beech trees is it near? Is it near any of the ones where my GPS is bouncing to zero? Fortunately I haven't DNF'd but two or three (of course I've only got 130+ under my belt). Most of the hides in the area are easy enough that hints aren't usually necessary. Especially when you're driving up to a lamppost or guard rail, or walking up to a nice out-of-place pile of sticks or leaves. But all of this is why I just started decoding the hints before I leave. Why would I want to decode this crap out on the trail? I understand people want to make it more difficult on themselves and that is fine, but as people say, if there is going to be so much chaff to decode, then I don't feel guilty decoding it before I go.

I think we have about that here. I don't know about a DEGREE in computers or cryptology, but many of them take quite an effort to solve. I find most of them fairly satisfying. I suppose the feeling is on par with what others feel when they actual find a cache, only about 10x more because you've managed to solve something else in addition. My wife doesn't find the extreme puzzles all that gratifying because she can't touch most of them, but she did manage to solve one based on a logic problem (you might have seen books containing those). I was pleased that she was able to solve it and she was ecstatic. But you know, we solve quite a few of these (I usually take the hard ones) and then wait weeks or even months to pick up the final cache. So I can't agree that the puzzles suck all the joy out of the game. We still pick up regular cache's, but for us most of those just feel like bumping up our stats. I can't say I know what it is like to have found your 1000th cache, or even your 100th yet, but somehow I think it will be less satisfying for us than solving a puzzle. And I can't argue with the people that "just want to get out there" but "yet another lamppost or dead log" don't give me any excitment. Now I must agree that after banging my head on a puzzle for a while and *NOT* solving it I do get frustrated. So sometimes I wonder at the number of level 4 difficulties that pop up. But I never lose the joy because of it. I usually just put it to the back of my mind until I can work on it again with a fresh perspective. But I can't say too much about difficulty because The Beholder's Eye is set to a level 4. I'm sure that a number of people have that one off their lists because of its difficulty though. I did see some of the other posts, particularly on creative hiding. Before I get bombed with replies about "creative hides" and so forth though for my above remarks, let me say that creative hiding takes *ALOT* of work and I can understand why people choose dead logs and lamp posts. A good hide needs a good deal of planning and choosing the right location. I've wanted to set up a pulley system in a tree for quite a while, but probably won't ever do it because its difficult enough getting me on a ladder (when I mean pulley system, I'm talking about something to take the cacher to the hide, not the other way round []) and I don't think I'll ever find the right tree unless I'm in the Redwood Forest somewhere. My final thought is that I saw Gaiterman posting here somewhere and I've got to say that the post seemed a little strange given that he posted the "Photo Finish" cache [], which I have yet to work out (still working it though).

Well, I FTF'd a cache that contained several dollar bills and a $10 lottery ticket. I didn't take the bills or the ticket, and opted for a plastic stegosaurus... Wasn't sure why there was money in the cache (other than "Where's George" dollars I've found before). Seemed risky. But now that I read this thread it clears things up.

I don't know if it's too hard to solve or not as I haven't really spent much time thinking about it. But the fact that you are getting questions about it DOES puzzle me because Nereus doesn't answer questions unless he's caught and changes shape to avoid being caught. Old Man of the Sea seems like a good place to start in Hawaii (as a nickname), but I don't know any Hawaiian legends relating to an "Old Man of the Sea"... Although the bay or lake next to your phony co-ords does sort of seem to resemble an old man if you use Google Maps to view it. He has sort of a long nose. Now it would be interesting if you had started a Nereus travel bug somewhere that kept changing caches to avoid being caught. I haven't checked that out though. It would have also been a cool play on words "Near us" or something like that. I won't be able to pick it up anyhow even if I am on the right trail (I doubt it, but maybe it will key in someone who is) because I won't get to Honolulu any time soon
