  1. NNNNOOOOOOOOOoooooooo....... Just my luck. I ordered a Black Nickle, a Green on Gold, a Red on Gold, a GREEN ON SILVER, and a RED ON SILVER. grrrrr... Man, just not my day . . . hell, not my week. Anyhow, thanks for the info brother, I'm sure you're as disappointed as I am. <political and totally off topic rant removed by moderator.> Looking forward to my coins when they're ready, please keep us posted. Peace, K
  2. YEAH BAYBEE, YEEEAAAAHHH!! The day is finally here!!! Just preordered Black Nickle, Green on Silver, Green on Gold, Red on Silver, and Red on Gold!!! BRILLIANT designs! Gorgeous stuff, friend! I'm sooo excited! Better snap these up fast, all, because if they sell anything like the NAWWAL coins, they'll be gone in a flash!! Thanks again, can't WAIT to see these "in the flesh"!!! And of course, I preordered one of each of the Journey coins a few weeks back when they went on presale!! w000t!! Peace, K
  3. Well good news, the official OK to mint some samples is in. 6-8 weeks presales will open (hopefully sooner) presales will be at SCAVOK.com. minting is by coinsandpins but I'll be selling these ones on my own and see how it goes for future projects AWESOME NEWS!!! Selling them from your own site this time....well then, I guess I'd better move my tent, 'eh? :lol: :lol Thanks for the info, and assuming you're going to keep us posted on this by Scavok Newsletter too, correct? PLEASE give us a heads-up via Newsletter too! Thanks again brother! Peace, K
  4. Almost as excited as Harm here! I will definitely send out a newsletter when photos are in and then when presales open as well. Almost being the key word there!! Man, the latest is just absolutely brilliant!! Looking forward to the newsletter announcements! I've already got my tent setup outside coinsandpins.com, just like those crazy b*@#@rds who camped out for the Wii and the PS3, so I'll be sure to be first in line with the presale action!! bwaahahah!! Great work man, as always! I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER DAY!!! Peace, K
  5. ROFL!! ahahahah!! Man, I'm STILL getting feedback from those and friends of those I gifted some NAWWAL coinage to, and there isn't a single person who I've showed mine off to who don't just "have to get one, they're GORGEOUS!!" I love the whole geocoin thing, and there are lots of great coins out there, but it is what it is, and brother, your designs and attention to details have me captivated and, in my opinion and no offense to others, are head and shoulders above the rest (there are a few that are near and dear to my heart from others though...Rainbow Bridge is VERY special, thanks dorkfish, and a few others i've forgotten the official names for) I absolutely love 'em, you've got some incredible skills and I'm stoked to have opportunity to enjoy these coins and share that joy with others. Looking forward to it friend (but, somehow, you already picked up on that! :) ) ahaha! Chat soon! Peace, K
  6. Hey All, If you haven't already checked 'em out, the Journey coin is up for presales!! Get your hands on 'em now!!! Man, I just CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CELTIC TREE OF LIFE ANOTHER DAY!!!! This is THE coin for me. Gorgeous design, details galore, the multi-level texturing and coloring....good LORD these are going to be stunning!!!! Just like the NAWWAL coin, this is going to be a real beauty and something you can be proud to own or gift to someone special. Thanks for all the hard work on these, and PLEASE let us all know (via newsletter for SURE!) when they're ready for presales!! Peace, K
  7. yea that danged tree is on its 6th die-art revamp now... I expect it to be finalized on monday (though I've expected that a few times now! ) I think I should update that thread again too... On my way! I've got to say, from what I've seen it's worth every second you've had to put into the revamp's. A very special coin that deserves all the attention you've put into it!! You know I'll be in on the preorder for those as well, I had a dream about 'em a few weeks ago!! What's up with THAT?!?!@#$ Take care! K
  8. Order placed!! W00T!!! Thanks my friend, beautiful coins, can't wait to get 'em!!! Now...the Celtic Tree of Life...
  9. I assure you I am as anxious as you are for this one!!! I. WILL. HAVE. THESE. Oh yes...I will.... Looking forward to another incredible coin, THIS time however, I WILL be in on the presales!! Oh yes...I will.... Keep up the incredible work!!! Peace, K
  10. Yea, I was told they were going to try for today, maybe later on I go to work soon, so I guess I'll see later tonight! Well, you go to work and don't worry about a thing, i'll be sure to keep an eye on it for you!!! Peace, K
  11. WOW!! Talk about cosmic timing!!!! I was sitting here, eating lunch and the thought crossed my mind, "I wonder if Roger has that Journey coin ready to go,it's been a long time since I hit the forums...let's see...?". What timing!!!!! No newsletter arrived yet brother, but I did go to the presales link and I don't see your item in the list. Coming later today? I'll be awaiting on pins and needles!! Take care, can't WAIT to get 'em!! Peace, K
  12. If you already own an iPod, you can really amp up your bang for the buck by purchasing - a Garmin 60GSx (or76GSx), which is an AWESOME GPS at an incredible price (check Amazon.com) - GSAK - $20 for a registered version that's it! There is functionality in GSAK to upload waypoints/caches etc to your iPod under the "notes" feature. It's absolutely flawless and I LOVE paperless caching now!! anyhow, my $0.02. Worked GREAT for me, and on the cheap I got a fantastic GPS and use my iPod's notes features too!
  13. Good LORD those are gorgeous!!! I don't know much about minting, how long it takes from this stage to the next, but I do know a gorgeous coin when I see it!! Any idea when you'll be taking orders on these?
  14. geez Rog, you're just BRILLIANT with these coin designs!!! I'm not going to offer any "changes" or suggestions because frankly I think you've got it under control and I absolutely love your work!! Seriously, I am SO dadgum (edit: the forum changed something I wrote here to "dadgum", so no, I'm not Jed Clampett!) excited for this Journey coin and your Celtic Tree of Life coins!!! Sack of cash.........for.....Scavok.....must.....get.....delivered coins....must....have....Journey coins....... must.....have.....SE versions......must..............have........sack of cash for Scavok ready to go.......getting..........heavier.....soooo heavy..... Brother, you are the MAN!! I can't WAIT to give you some REAL currency for your upcoming Geocoin currency!! Genius, brilliant, so talented!! Keep up the great work my friend. And, for the rest of you... I'M ALREADY CAMPING OUTSIDE HIS FRONT DOOR WAITING FOR THESE SO YOU CAN ALL JUST GO HOME NOW THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO SEE HERE!! AHAHAH!!! Peace all! K p.s. wonder if I type "God dadgum", if it'll change it to "God Dadgum"....hmmm... AHAHAH! Yep, it was "d-a-m-n" that triggered the swap. Odd, don't really think that's a "cuss" per se, but it's all good. A bit of forum fun this morning
  15. Heya Roger! Geez, I had a DREAM about this coin last night!! What the @#$#! is up with THAT?!? I simply can't wait any longer, can I just send you a bunch of cash and you can send me a sackfull of the coins when they arrive? In all seriousness (and the above was kind of serious in a goofy sort of way because I did have a dream about the coin), I'm so excited about this coin I think about it often. Although I think all the feedback is wonderful...brother, just do it like you're feelin' it!! The layers, the effects, I LIKE the sort of "business" in this particular coin because it's not just busy, it's intricate, it's very crucial and central to the Celtic theme, and it's all you and the style you're bringing to the coin. I know others also have varied feelings about the colors, seethrough, etc. I LOVED those colors on the Tengwar coin, and with all the thought and layering that goes into these, they just do it so well! As another said, the greens....man...with shiny gold and shiny silver...good LORD they've got such potential!! I'm tellin' ya man, the Tengwar coins are always the "last ones to come out" when I'm showin' off my coins, and without any fanfair, it's like the 4th of July with the "oooohs and aaaaahs". I can't wait for this coin brother!! Hey, one more very serious question, is your newsletter happening? I haven't received any yet, not that I'm complaining, but wanted to make sure that I'm not missing out. Is that the BEST way for me to stay on top of the release and getting in on the pre-release, etc? Sometimes I just don't make it out here to the forums as much as I'd like. Thanks again for all you do man!! K
  16. It will be in one color/finish, the different colors in the mockup are just to designate the levels of line height on the coin. On the multi symbol side, I made the symbols a lower level than the face so that possibly some version can have a transparent enamel that covers those patterns, but lets others not be covered (like the tengwar coins were). I'm glad you all are liking it, I haven't received any 'I hate it' emails yet I'm really happy to hear you're doing the multi-leveled approach leaving the option to do some of the transparent enamels. I found the Tengwar coin was stunning in both single metals, but equally (if not more in some respects) gorgeous and stunning with the different transparent colors too. Hoping you'll release these much like the Tengwar was, in different metals (oh PLEASE do a .925 silver and/or gold!!!) as well as some color options. I really enjoyed some of the colors on that Tengwar coin (the red and turquoise were favorites!!) as well as the single metals. Amazing work brother!! I'm SOOOOO looking forward to this coin!!!!!!! Peace, K
  17. Roger you're truly gifted, brother! Sent you an email, but have to say it out here too, I can tell just from the sketching already that this will be yet another "over the top" coin, stunning and filled with all the little details, incredible art, and balance that blew me away on your Tengwar coin. Way to raise the bar once again!! This will be another incredible coin, and being a Celtic theme, I'm already glassy-eyed waiting for the mintings!! Peace, K
  18. The nickel are gone already? Bummer. I have no idea where Geocoinfest is and unless it's in my backyard there's no way for me to attend anyhow. Ultimately, this means I can't buy the coins I'd like to buy. Oh well...
  19. Just had a chance to run this iPod solution and it is amazing! Thanks for the GREAT tip Gamakite!! I find something new and cool nearly everytime I use GSAK. Registered it because it simply does everything I need. It seems like everytime I need to do something new or more complex with geocaching, the solution is in GSAK, and it's always straightforward and works perfectly. This solution with the macro is absolutely perfect, paperless caching with a 76CSx and an iPod video! SWEET! Thanks again!
  20. SWEET!! Thanks SO much for bringing this topic up, and for all the responses, though the GSAK Macro for Ipod is KILLER!! I can't wait to get home and try it out!! I love my 76GSx and have been debating getting on of these newer Garmins to replace it (it's only a few months old but I'm also sick to death of printing all this crap to take with me) in favor of the paperless caching. THIS solution is PERFECT!! I'm so excited, thanks again and can't wait to weigh back in and let you know how it worked!!! Oh yeah, on an off-topic sort of note, but noteworthy anyhow, for those with an iPod, windows, and who want an AWESOME itunes replacement with so many improvements I can't even begin to list 'em all, look into Anapod Explorer, google it. I bought it a few years back when I first got my 80G iPod Video, bought it sight unseen to replace itunes. Best $20 I spent for my iPod, and I bet you will too. I've turned so many folks onto this program they should send me dividend checks, but the reality is that anyone who sees it typically buys it because let's face it, iTunes sucks outloud for windows users. Peace, and thanks again to all for this awesome, AWESOME, life-changing (ok, maybe not life changing, but paper saving for SURE thread!!!) K
  21. WOW!!!!!!!!! I just received my coins today. GOOD LORD these are BRILLIANT!! The amazing detail on this coin is stunning!! I just love it!! Small details like the tiny blue "moons" in each feather of the peacock...I could go on and on. Fabulous coins, I'm SO glad I got in on these when I did! I'm fairly n00b to the whole geocaching thing, but I've really liked the geocoins that I've purchased so far and these are right up there with the best of them as well as having special meaning for me being an Irish lad
  22. Absolutely STUNNING coin!!! These are very special to me as my roots are in Ireland. I really love the time and effort you took to put so much history and meaning into these! I only wish my father were still around to see these, he'd be raisin' a pint to celebrate 'em with me! What a great coin, and I'm VERY proud to own these!!! Job well done my friend from o'er the pond!! Thanks again, Kevin
  23. I hope you're having an awesome vacation, which means in fact if you ARE, then you won't see this until you get back because GOOD vacations don't include checking email or forum threads!! (at least in my world!!). I received the coins yesterday and they are absolutely gorgeous!!! For the Beatles fans like myself they hold a special meaning for me, and as I wrote in my email to you, I really appreciate the clever integration of "(I'll) Follow The Sun" to Geocaching.com too, another of my very favorite Beatles tunes!! And if that wasn't intentional (I can't imagine it wasn't), then it had to be the work of George or John looking down from Rock & Roll Heaven and smiling some insipration into your design!! Fabulous coins, and thank you so much for them as well as the great communication off the forums!! So glad to get my hands on these! Take care and thanks again!! Kevin
