Can you do it WITH the keyword? I have no idea how to do it without it!

Well, my excitement was fufilled today by not one, but TWO parcels in the mail. My very first geocoins, I'm so excited! One was from 007BigD, and was his personal coin and a note. HOW COOL! I was so excited, but I had to be careful not to rip everything apart. The second package was from Dolfy, and I must say, you have outdone yourself. Inside I found a geocaching bracelet and patch, as well as a pathtag (woohoo, another hobby! ) and two geocoins, one being a personal and the other a geoswag grab bag coin! They are both amazing, and I love the guitar shape! I will post pictures later, when i'm not so worn out! Thank you guys soooo much!

Ok guys, I have been busy in the past few days so I haven't been on too much, but I have a request. Earlier in this thread, someone mentioned the "Tranquility" geocoins. I really want to know more about them, and where I can get them for this reason: The last few days have been discouraging. I was supposed to get a job as a Teller at a local credit union, but when they did my credit check, it came up as me having HORRIBLE credit. Apparently, I defaulted on a College loan when I was still in high school. I am 17, I shouldn't even HAVE a credit score, but someone apparently got a hold of my social number and used it. So, the job of my DREAMS, and I couldn't get it. And since I graduated high school a few weeks ago and I am going to try to go to college in the fall, I prolly wont be able to get loans due to that record. And then today, I got the worst news of it all. I had a doctor's appointment today, and they let me know that as of my most recent MRI, I have a noncancerous TUMOR in the pituitary gland of my brain. Although I know it isn't too much to worry about because it is treatable, it is scarier than I want to admit to any of my friends or family. The only thing I can look forward to this summer now is getting my geocoins in the mail from my newest friends. I want my collection of coins to be a story... a story of my life, beginning with this summer. I want to have something to remember how I overcame all of the obstacles that keep coming in my way, because I know that I will beat them. What better a way than my amazing new hobby? If anyone knows of any coins that could signify anything like this, or in general could help to keep me positive and motivate me (I am just pessimistic lately, and it bugs me), could you send me a link to a picture, or help me find someone who has it and is willing to let me buy it off of them, or trade ( I'm ebaying some other coins to use for trading and using this post as a break from my search! ) You can post on here, because I do check it often, PM me, or email me at <email address removed by moderator> . Thanks for reading so much, i know you all probably have better things that you could do with your time, but I appreciate your time and help!

Then why could I only find him in one of the pics. I'm thinking i need a refund! "We've updated our policy to state no refunds. Sorry for the inconvenience" Sheesh, well then I think I need to win this cointest to get my profits back. So, how much longer till we get some results?

That's definitely what I used too! Sheesh! Edit: To say wait, i bought mine for TWO DOLLARS! this is BULL!

Haha, I love that coin! Unfortunately, I am a smoker, but it makes me want it even more. Is there any where to purchase them?

I like!! What colors are you planning? And I like the words, they are insightful.

email sent, and this one is right

Can you invite me as well?

There is a list up in the nailed topics, it´s also a list of places you can create some coins... www.geocoinshop.de http://www.mygeocoin.de/ those are some that I have orderd from untill now... I dont know how to translate Euros to American dollars.

HEY! I'm one of those noobies... I've learned a lot in these forums, and you guys are great. Does anyone have a list compiled of places to buy coins? I want to find some to send to the wonderful people who got me hooked!

Aww sweet! That's awesome. What do the traquility coins look like, because I'm needing some of that in my life right now too! Long story short, a lot of things that were supposed to be amazing are falling apart, and not wanting to go back together.

Can you send a coin my way? I'm a noob, so i've heard about it but never done it.

Well, you're doing better than me! I'm working on getting my collection started, with the help of the frequent posters on this thread. I'm low on money, since the job I was supposed to be getting this week fell through (long story short... I'm only 17, but someone already stole my identity and I cant even get my credit report so i can claim the negatives as fraud, but that discussion is for a whole new kind forum ) SOOO now my goal is to see what talent I can find to do in return for people who give me coins. Any ideas?

If you dont win, let me know. I think I have an old travel bug that I could trade for a new geocoin if you want. I'm a noob, I want as many coins as I can get!

How can i get one of these? They are so amazing!

Congrats to all of the new winners! And Tschakko.... weren't you on here like 7 hours ago when I went to bed? Sheesh, and ya'll say IM addicted!

VERY important to stay organized from the beginning. I have a spreadsheet for just about everything... coins bought: price, date, provenience. then when I get them, they are highlighted Once you get the coins: tracking number and activation codes trades what you got for what and when and who addresses as those trades happen and for gifted coins so eventually you can repay... It can get pretty hectic eventually and keeping organized helps a lot. Now if I could just FIND my coins... Woot, practice using my document software! How many do you have?

Who won the fourth round?

Dang. Man, I have such a headache, but I can't go to sleep. Oh well, I can find out about more interesting stuff on here!
