If you buy 12, I can buy the crate Hemi....I mean, we'll give you $5 off shipping PER coin!

1 coin in 11 pages. Geocoins just aren't the big thing up here, but hopefully that will soon change.

So how ya been? Do any caching lately? Hey man. Yeah, I've been out quite a bit lately, after coming out of a bit of a caching funk. Things are finally picking up around here, and new caches are popping up all the time these days. We get weather in the 70s, and the next thing you know, it's snowing again. Last week I went out against my better judgment while it was snowing, and the snow was as wet as I've seen it all year. By the time I got to the cache (just off a well established game trail), my jeans were soaked. [] Did I get FTF? Nope. Some other cachers who were planning on hiding a cache in the exact same spot a few days earlier came upon it before it was published and logged their finds while I was finding it myself. Therefore, I'm claiming FTFAOP (First To Find After Official Publishing). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/b_casteel/Project%20JEEP/Fun/04-22-06%20Clarks%20Fork%20Canyon/100_0768.jpg' alt='100_0768.jpg'>

(.) I'd complete the rest, but...

My .14... As with many other things in life, there is a respect issue here. With something such as the recent hot-button topic regarding a specific coin, anyone lucky enough to find one in a cache should simply abide by the owner's wishes who placed the cache. If it is not to be sold, have enough decency to respect this desire. If it is not to be traded, things get a bit iffy here, but the lucky finder should still follow the guidelines of the coin owner. Comparing a coin to say, a baseball card, the correlation can be made in preserving the 'integrity' of the coin, if only to increase personal emotional value, rather than one that makes it tough to sit on one's wallet. On the flipside, if you buy a car from someone, what's to stop you from chopping the top, putting aftermarket equipment on, or simply converting it to a chicken coop? Absolutely nothing.

While I would love to be the recipient of a Moun10bike coin, the fact of the matter is this: There is a larger market for rare coins, and a micro-market overall for Geocoins. The likelihood of getting a decent return on this coin down the road if it was flipped, is small. Given the status of these coins, I can understand why someone would want one, but paying such amounts is absolutely asinine. I could think of much better things to do with $2,175, and buying any geocoin for that amount doesn't seem to fit into any category I can fathom.

Works quite well on my iPaq rx1955

Things are going really well, so keep the interest alive! With each post and the increased thread views, I become more and more excited for the actual delivery.

You're welcome.

Wow. The LE are already showing sold out. Copper IS still availble though.

The coins are officially on sale.

Haha...try and figure out who it is, cancel their order and refund their money...an hour before the auction ends.

You're forgetting about daylight savings time and time zones... the sale is in about 2 hours and 45 minutes from now Crap, you're right. I completely forgot about that stuff, despite switching forward an hour just recently.

T-minus 2 hours for the west coasters.

Of course, I have some of that very same scenery near here, although I do have to travel a bit to see some of the better parts. They don't refer to this state at "The Last Best Place" for nothing.

Hey now...I see the hermit goes off the verbage wagon when he is away from home. I'm still all excited about my contest coin showing up in the mail yesterday.

Ouch. It's a bummer to live on the other side of the world that such a thing would affect you, but I envy where you live. It must be beautiful.

*rimshot*

Pre-orders were closed as of midnight on 4/18/06. Starting tomorrow, general ordering will begin, and both copper (regular) and silver (LE) coins are available. Get 'em while they're hot!

Bad sock! Back, back you go! (insert sound of whipping wet noodle here) OT: Nice coin - what happened to the Jackelope from previous designs? A collective opinion amongst several Arizona cachers that it had quickly worn out its welcome and was to be relegated back to 'myth' status.
