  1. OMG! I am a bit late in reporting this VERY exciting event! I went to my mailbox and there I found a package... Yep, I knew for sure it was one of those fancy advertisements... After all, I haven't been logged into the forums for a while (so it couldn't be a coin). I opened the sweet silver package and THERE IT WAS!!! My heart started racing! as I logged into the forum to say THANK YOU!!

     

     

    I have only had my WORK computer lately - so I have not been loggin' into the forum, but I am SO VERY thrilled to get this BEAUTIFUL coin!! The mistery coin givers are so VERY awesome and cool... thanks for thinking of me and bringing me a GREAT smile and a GREAT week!!

  3. Grrrrr.... it's time to be a rebel!!

     

    This coin thread has inspired me to release a bunch of new coins in town tomorrow - the real metal ones! Ha!

     

    I hope one day they make it Germany and you can discover them or move them in your travels.

     

    Wish them well - here they go!

     

    Landsharkz,

     

    I'm with you on being a rebel! My goal will be to drop 25 new coins before the end of summer! Maybe a few will make it to Germany!!

  4. I currently have 28 geocoins missing (although I think I am being overly optimistic that a few that I haven't marked missing are still traveling)...

     

     

    They averaged 2306 miles before going missing

     

     

    Of the missing coins, 14 of them did not log any miles :blink:

     

    I guess it's time for me to start dropping more coins in caches!! :P

  5. In the past, I have stored my coins using several methods. I currently store them in books... Here's a few pics...

    I didn't want to drag them all out, but this gives you a good idea of how I store them. If I have a coin that is larger than the coin size - I use an exacto knife to modify the coin space. I have started ordering individual pages and building books - so I and have more control of the individual pages.

     

     

    I really think that over time, I will release most of the coins into the wild.

  6. 1. Participating - YES!!

     

    2. Received Name - YES!!

     

    3. Mission Complete - Feb 8, 2009 (YES)

     

    4. Cupid Arrived! - YES!!

     

    I received my package on Friday - but would not allow myself to open it until I sent my mission on its way. So I went to the post office today to mail off my mission, and rushed back home to open the surprise package. The package was AWESOME!! I would like to thank my secret Cupid – who really did their homework!! The picture does not do justice for what I felt when opening the package.

     

    The card was delightful; the Mrs. Fields chocolates will have me running to the gym at least three times this week (but it won't keep me from eating each of them)… There were a dozen chocolate roses (actually a baker's dozen – both pink and red). There was a card that wished me "Sweet Valentine Wishes" – along with a Storage Container (maybe I need to go an actually hide and maintain a cache)… There was also a hook with at compass attached – so I will always know which direction I'm heading.

     

    There were some Sweethearts candy hearts – and a coin that matched. That was awesome! I really can't get over that coin and the box of candy hearts – and how they matched… OK, so I've eaten half of the candy hearts, and three of the chocolate roses are not longer around – but I just couldn't resist J

     

    There was also a "UR#1" coin, it's a shaped coin – in the shape of a balloon, that I've never seen before. It's awesome! But the most striking thing that I received was the copper wired angle complete with a red halo. I put it in my cache bag – to see if it helps watch over me.

     

    I hope everybody's mission goes as well as mine. I couldn't ask for a better or more successful mission. Thank you SO MUCH to my secret Cupid!

    As you may know, France has great Sauvignon Blanc wines from Sancerre, the Loire Valley, and Pouily-Fume... but since Marlborough started exporting their fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc, they have been arguably the best in the world. The “best of the best” of these wonderful Sauvignon Blanc, IMHO, is Cloudy Bay. So, I would like you to do this cache ( GCNNDG ) then, it you like, you can go over to the nearby Cloudy Bay vineyards tasting room to taste one of Marlborough’s finest wines. :laughing:

  8. I haven't been in the forums much since I started taking a class three nights a week. So I was shocked when I went to my mailbox - there it was... heehaw!!! I decided to take a break from studying and check my mail, and saw a black bubbler among the bills... I remember seeing something about a mystery coin and a black bubbler… my heart started racing!... Could it be?

     

    I saw the calling card, then I saw the coin - AWESOME!! (OK, I missed the stamp - until I started reading through the forum posts and had to go back and look!)... Thank you Geo Bandit! I really needed the break from studying and finding this great coin really brightened my day!! I can’t seem to get rid of this silly smile on my face! Thanks so much!

     

    AND Congrats to all of the coin receivers (and fellow Libras)!!

  9. I have 87 travelers - 14 have come up missing so far, but I suspect that I have a few more missing, that I just haven't noticed.

     

    I depend on. - and appreciate cachers letting me know if my geocoin is not in the cache. If a cacher contacts me - letting me know the status of my coin (i.e. I haven't been caching in a while, still have your coin) - I make sure I email them back - letting them know that "I know the coin is in good hands - and it's no hurry to get the coin moving again" - 9 times out of 10, the coin moves immediately.

     

    I still have at least 30+ more coins I would like to release, but I am a bit distracted with a new class that I started – so I won’t be able to do as much geocaching (or forum) activities as I would like – until the end of the year.

     

    Sometimes I imagine releasing my entire collection, with the exception of my special trades. I love the daily emails I get letting me know about my coins adventures and travels. I find myself seeking out the “online translators” – because my coins have found themselves traveling all around the world – and I receive logs in many languages. I look forward to receiving the logs – and will continue sending coins out to travel.

     

    Life is good…
