HUURRRAAAAYYYYY HUURRRAAAAYYYYY I Got Mine I Got Mime I Got My Bag of Brachs Indian Corn.
It is the ones with the chocolate on the bottom and they sure are gooooddddddd.
Now I can not wait to get the Geocoin.

I did not meen to put it so restrictive. I just meant when it shows up on a cahe page it states there is a TB there and I thought it would be nice with the cache movers geocoin attached to this coin it would then show up on the cache page as a geocoin. I also like how the California TB above looks.That would make it a travel bug and not a geocoin....
That's too restsrictive. I have an Alabama Geocoin that uses tracking from another site. They also track non coins using the same numbers. A geocoin is more than the tracking number though SOME coins that's the only thing that makes them a geocoin at all. True geocoins don't need a tracking number of any kind for a cacher to recognize it as a geocoin. Some coins need some help for cachers to make the geocoin connection.

I have no idea on the price but from what we know is it is 1.75 inches and .35mm thick with glowing ghost and what you see so far. This looks and sounds like a high Qaulity coin as normal with them.
My question/s is how high will the price go before we see it all?? and will it arrive prior to the 31st of Oct-08?
The ship date I can not answer for sure either but I was told I will get my order before Halloween.
from what i see the coin is going to be going up on cost more so you had better get one soon.

There is another scouting geocoin out there, it is the Cache to Eagle coin. You can still get them here:
Nice looking coin. I wish there was some Girlscout coins. I have found some Geocaching patches but no Geocoins.

Thank you for getting My name on there.I've added some more names. Thanks for pointing out my errors, please continue to do so!
Please also note, this is not final, there may be some tweaking to make names fit better when all is said and done.
I will be keeping a good eye on this to get some.Keep up the great work.

I was not thinking about info on the coin and that is a good point.That would make it a travel bug and not a geocoin.
Geocoins are Travel Bugs. Very well dressed TBs, but still TBs. I agree it would be nicer to have tracking numbers from coins, but those coins have their own unique identities whereas a TB has a clean slate. In the end we're really talking about sending a coin out traveling in caches and any tracking number can accomplish that
edit to add: The advantage of a TB tag also would be having all the pertinent information printed right on the tag. The military coin isn't going to tell you to log it online and would likely end up missing in very, very short order.
They could attach a liminated note to the coin and use the geocoin or they could attach the cache movers Geocoin but it only says this on it. Move This Traveler From cache To Cache ###### Track at Geocaching.com. The other side says, Cache movers. This would give it the cache movers Icon and you can clear the slate off and put what you want on the page and say what you want.
I used to be a firm believer in TB's but I love attaching items to the Cache movers Geocoin so It shows up as a Geocoin. I do agree that the TB's give more information on the tags.
I do also agree that he needs to attach something on it so it does not just have numbers that may not look normal and then end up being muggled. Also his coins would have to have track at Geocaching.com ingraved on them.
I would still like to know if you can Purchase Numbers 6 at a time from Groundspeak.????
Thanks for the great points fox-and-the-hound. This is what is nice about this forum is the input.
I know I am not always right and never will be.

This topic about the Mystery Halloween coin is been so much fun to read. Not to mention I got a bunch of candy corn and marshmellows in my Halloween Mission yesterday, ooh And I got pretzels too. hmmm....may have to experiement with something using all of these. My hubby wanted all the stuff already, will make him a snack and see what he thinks of it. He likes when I bake for him.
The Mystery coin is looking pretty cool, been trying to put peices together on how it is going to look. and not to mention I hope it does glow, those are our favorite kinds geocoins.
I hope it just the Geocoin that glows and not the things you are giving him to snack on.
HUMMM is there Glowing candy???

That would make it a travel bug and not a geocoin. I would ask to see if you could purchase tracking numbers from GC and I know they have to approve what you put them on and I am not sure if you can just buy six.
If you have to purchase and take numbers off another item i would do it off a Geocoin as they are just as cheap as TB's and it will show up as being a Geocoin not a TB and you can change the name on the geocoin to whatever you want but it would have the icon from the Geocoin you get. There is a Cache Movers Geocoin that has a chain like a tb and you could attach that to your coins.
you can get them for under 4 dollars each at this link GEOSWAG.COM
Good luck on this and It would be nice for me to know if there is a way to purchase 6 generic tracking numbers for Geocoins ???????????

This is looking great so far.
Keep up the great work.

Of course can only stand to eat a couple of pieces at a time
I'm a candy corn freak!!
I absolutely love them!!
In fact, I was munching on a pile of them when the idea for this coin came to mind!!
That sweet sugary taste can be pretty overwelming though, after about a half a bag!!
I also love Caramels!
A few weeks ago I found a bag of "Brach's Milk Maid Caramel Candy Corn". I thought "HEAVEN!"
EEEEK!! Now those things have a definate sugar overload!! 5-6 pieces and even "I" have to stop eating them.
That's the reason I knew the exact name of them. I read the bag because I haven't eaten them all just yet.
Anyone for a PEEPS Ghost?
D-man
Look at this: Brach's Milk Maid CHOCOLATE Caramel Candy Corn
To keep this post on topic, looks like glow-in-the-dark ghosts to me.
Thats it I have had enough of this candy stuff and it is making me hungry for some.
Now I am going to have to go and get some.
But i will not buy to much so i can save some money to buy more of these Mystery Halloween Geocoins.
They are starting to look better and better.

River Cacher would love to be on there.

I thought I found 2 in 1 day to join LOL

Denver, Colorado
Dallas, Texas
Huntsville, Alabama
Salt Lake City, Utah
What's the weather like in each of these areas in October?
There were 7 other cities who decided to wait until next year.
Are you considering other mega events that have been or will be in some of these areas? I mean, Huntsville is only a couple of hours from next year's GeoWoodstock. Should that area "get" two mega events in the same year? Also, GeoWoodstock was in Texas last year, so you have a similar issue with the Dallas bid. Why not "share the wealth" and put this mega event somewhere else to give more people the chance to attend one?
I did like the video approach to Salt Lake's bid, but of course I have to be partial to Denver's overall bid - there is a lot to do here!
This is a great point.
I would love to see the larger events spread around more.

You better hurry before the price goes up.

This is my email I recieved back from Amy today.
Mike
I believe that he also gave me his address for the coins, we had many, many requests so they are all going out at a bit of a different rate as we are able to get them off. Hopefully they will all ship by the end of the week to their addy's and will begin to show up for everyone.
However, if you have his last name handy I can look it up quickly. The secretaries have sorted them by last name, not by request date so that they could work with them easier.
Amy
If you would like I could respond with your last name?
To make sure you are on the list or you can make sure you ask Amy via your last name.
I would hope that everyone else does not contact her to see if there last name is on there.
Please let GeoError find out about HER'S and not flood Amy with emails. Thank You and Good Luck on getting a Coin.
I got e-mail too
Your coin will be on the way shortly. The mail will be coming airmail I assume so to the Netherlands and other non US locals it will take a little longer. Let everyone know we are working as fast as we can :-)
So everything is oke, thanks River cacher for take care for me.
Not a problem, I am always ready and willing to help out a Geo Friend

I have been caching for several years and when I started everyone was so into the number of finds and it drove me crazy.
I made the choice to find a cache and enjoy the area and not just run off to the next cache.
If I did take a TB or the cache had issues I would log the find and post notes.
I hate when all caching trips are GO GO GO for the numbers.
I decided years ago the numbers do not matter.
I do log DNF's to make sure the owners can check on there cache.
I have several hundred finds in the last few months that have not been logged.
I do now realize it has been causing some issues as some have been not found for awhile and when i do pocket quarries the same caches show up I have found.
I do not see why cachers would get upset with others for not logging there finds as many of people out there do not have the time to go through and log there finds or just do not care like me.
When I hide caches I do not expect the cachers to log there finds if they choose not to and there should not be any rules that say they have to.
My hides are my hides and it is up to me to check on them and maintain them and I should not expect others to take care of them for me or to report issues. I have several hundred caches hidden and I make sure I place them in areas that I go to.
I have had some that have not been logged for a long time but when I check on them there is logs in the books and it makes me happy to see that Cachers are finding them and having a great time with the sport.
I have found caches in several states that I have not logged and I am sad to see this offends other Cachers.
One of these days I may change my ways but until then I will be out enjoying and having a GREAT time geocaching.
Sorry if I have ever offended anyone.

Wow that is amazing. Can anything be done?
-
I just sent out some nice emails to them and asked about Geo.Error getting a coin so I hope they look into it.
I would also like to see Him send another email to make sure he gets one and see what the reply is.
Good luck
