  1. I have two Geocaching Across the Atlantic coins. One in what I call antique silver, the other in antique gold. I also know that I have a shiny silver William of Orange. Will look to see if I have others. Email me at MCSofSC@aol.com if you are interested. Thanks!

     

    Hi,

     

    I am collecting all geocoins made by "van Stoffelen" and am looking for a lot of coins to complete my collections. The coin i am after right now is the Frisia - Antique Copper Translucent Red/Green XLE.

     

    Please send me a PM if you can help me finding this coin or any other van Stoffelen geocoins on my seek list.

     

    Greetings,

  2. Looking in the mailbox Saturday morning for my daily dose of postcards and what did I spy?? A bubble mailer. Quick brain check... did I order any coins? .. oh heck! what will the husband say when he learns I've been spending money on coins again?... I don't THINK I ordered any coins. I quickly grabbed the bubble mailer and stuffed it in my purse. : ) Sitting in the back corner of a local restaurant, I tore open the package to find a Captain Hook Mystery Coin! Oh my goodness! What did I do to deserve this??? : ) I thank Captain Hook from the bottom of my heart for his coin. It came just in time to help me celebrate my 1000th find! I also have a band of pirate travelers who have been to the South Carolina Coast with me.. they will eventually have their own Geo Event and great send off. This coin just suits all of us to a tee. Thank you, thank you.. thank you.

     

    PS.. I will post some sort of picture shortly.

  5. Please print out the "mission" page from your geocoin's page to include with your coin. I always place my coin in a ziplock bag (snack size) along with the mission and the coin in it's flip. Lately, I have been handwriting a note to place inside the flip. The note states that the coin is owned and is meant to travel. I also write the tracking code on the note and tell finders to log their find. This may seem like I'm being obsessive compulsive, but coins go missing quickly and I'm trying to do as much as I can to ensure safe travels for my investment.

  6. I'm having a geo event on 1/22 GC2K29A. The event is "cache based", meaning everyone is to bring a cache to place on the door prize table. Hopefully, this will get more people to place caches for all of us to find. As an after thought, I'd like to find an ammo can coin and a magnetic key holder coin to add to the prize table. Any other "cache" coins are welcome too. I am willing to trade for the coins if you have them. My list isn't up to date so negotiations are in order.

     

    Only US coiners, please. I don't think time constraints will allow for an overseas trade.

     

    I can trade a Journey, a Pink Yime (second minting), Celtic Heart... to name a few. Thanks!

  7. I received this email on December 1, 2010. I appreciate the communication, but would still like to know when I can expect shipment of the coins I paid for on October 27, 2010. It is not good business to keep your pre-sale customers hanging like this.

    Hi,

     

    The geocoin Galo de Barcelos is in production. i'll give more details soon.

     

    Thank you,

    Nuno

  8. Got a couple of race coins in the mail today and will drop them off soon. Thanks!

     

    I received Mauison's coin the other day and dropped it in one of my caches. I was having a total brain freeze and didn't write down the tracking number as I thought it was my coin. Came home, read the forums and had a "doh!" moment. So, I disabled my cache and crossed my fingers that no one would go by the cache and grab the coin. Today, I set out on a caching adventure (mind you, I have been caring for a husband who just had total hip replacement surgery and a bedridden mother in law for 2 weeks now... plus the internet has been out and it's raining). I go by, grab Mauison's coin and head out for my first cache. A beautiful woodland setting way out in the country. Not where I would leave the coin, as it would sit there for a long time. I tripped over a vine, fell on my finger and broke it, I'm afraid. After a stop for a cup of Iced Tea and some a new router so I can connect to Geocaching.com, it began to rain. So, I'm home for now. I will drop Mauison's coin over the weekend in a cache along Myrtle Beach. There should be lots of cachers there this weekend from all over the world... great place to start a race!

  9. I received Chickahominy's coin last week and I plan to send it out before the holidays:)

     

    : ) Yayyy! I'm so excited! This is the first 'official' race I've participated in. Thanks to everyone for making it happen.

  10. My Pink Yimes arrived the other day. Love them! I don't purchase many coins these days.. only buying those that I absolutely have to have. I made a great decision here. Yimes coins are always special. Thank you and the elves who packaged them. I hope they are okay after the candy fueled packing marathon.

     

    No golden ticket here. Can't wait to see where they show up!

  11. Adding this reply from Eartha in case others have not read through the posts. Eartha, are you sure you don't mind doing this?

     

    I do currently have a list from one geocacher to mark about 50 in his area missing. I am getting to that soon. If you find one that is really missing, and not just gone for a few days, please feel free to send me a link to the TRACKABLE ITEM. That's all you need to send me, I don't need the cache name, unless it's one you had to research to find out, and I don't need you to fill in a lot of information, just the link, and that you confirmed somehow that it wasn't in the cache. I always check them to see how long they've been missing, and all I need is that one click link. Don't expect it immediately, but do know that it will be done. You know how it is when an email slips off your first page. You get back to it when you clean the inbox at the end of the day/week. :anitongue:

  12. <_< The drawing for The Great Train Race has been completed The winners will be notified shortly. The exciting thing that happened is we decided to make everyone that entered a winner. An additional (20) geocoins have been ordered and the race will now have (70) participants. Stay tuned for further instructions.

    What a generous thing to do! Thank you, Gary! I read the event page and wish I were close enough to attend. Moving travelers is one of my favorite things about geocaching. Your event will go a long way towards educating cachers on what to do with trackables. Thanks, again!
