  1. Introducing the arrival of my personal coin!

    This coin took a long time to produce and is my first effort at coin producing.

     

    The rooster goes hand in hand with my Geo Nickname, Chickahominy. The Chickahominy is a river in Virginia near Williamsburg, named after a local Indian tribe, the Chickahominy. Chickahominy means people of the burnt corn. I have spent a good bit of time in Williamsburg and had the childhood nickname of Pocahontas. My daughter and geocaching buddy, Laura (PV=nRT) went to college at William and Mary. The two of us went on a dream trip of mine to see Tasha Tudor in Vermont. Guess what? She had an indoor rooster named Chickahominy! With that, the name came full circle. I love roosters, don't you?

     

    Gold 30 made Trading for personals only.

    Copper 35 made This one is really my favorite. :rolleyes:

    Silver 35 made

     

    Trackable at Geocaching.com with its own icon; a gold rooster inside a red circle. The coin is 3D and is 3.5mm thick. Each coin has 4 red gemstones. (Yes four, not 5. The flower arranger in me did that ;) )

    I will be contacting those people who pre-traded me and who I "owe" a coin to. If you have a personal and are interested in trading, please email me. Once I get these shipped, I will offer some of the coins for sale. Hopefully by next week. Thanks for your interest!

  2. And the people bowed and prayed

    To the Goddess Yime had made

    And the sign flashed out Steelers

    to all the geocoin dealers.

    And they were sold to the people

    that could make it out to the event

    It was heaven sent.

    And whispered in the sounds of citrus

     

    Love the poem!

    Way to go Opal!

  5. I hope Heather gets feeling better. It's no fun to be sick on these special days. :(

     

    Here's a joke for Heather. It's my daughter's favorite Halloween joke.

     

    How did the ghost get the Kleenex to dance?

     

    He put a little boogie in it!

    The Czech coin is very pretty. All the silver in the middle makes it look really "blinged" out (Lil Wayne was the first to use that phrase, did y'all know that?). LOL! Anyway, beautiful coin, great trade. :blink:

  8. A great coin week for me with an awesome Birthday Mission From UFGatoGirl,

    and a couple of Gingerbread men for XMas,

    AND

    A Very Special Coin came in the mail escorted by a couple of Beautiful Flute players and some cool Sig chips and Wooden Nickels :blink: ...

    Thank You Friend !!!!!!!

    Great coins! Is that a Nutella Spirit Dweller?

  9. I like crabs. I'm not gonna lie. The more I look at the few I have, the more I think I would truly benefit from having more crabs.

     

    If you would like to rid yourself of some crabs in a trade, I am seeking the following:

    "Ready to Eat" (Red / BN)

    Annapolis Midshipmen Navy (Blue / Gold)

    Annapolis Plebe Navy (White / Gold)

    Chesapeake Bay (Blue-Black / Gold)

    Crab Nebula (Rose Glow / BN)

    Delaware Bay (Blue-Black / Satin Gold)

     

    See my trading list in sig line, and thanks in advance for helping me get more crabs.

     

    Specifically, Blue Crabs.

     

    Thank you for making me smile. :blink::blink::blink:

  10. Thanks LadyBee, for rescuing me. LOL! I'm trying to keep better coinotations, but I'm swimming in coins these days and can't keep up with them!

  11. Help! :signalviolin: I have been sooo distracted lately that I can't keep up with myself. Did I trade someone for 2 Michigan 999 coins? I have two that look like Michigan's, and I remember trading... I think. LOL! I unpackaged them Saturday in a hurry as I was on my way to a local event. I took all my 999 coins to show at the table whilst explaining the art of caching to muggles. I can't figure out which state these coins are from. Thanks for the help.

     

    Color me: confused

  12. " ... world, world... his world, her world.. he's leaving.. on the midnight train to Georgia.... he'd rather live in her world, than live without her in his.... "

     

    Okay, so that song is in my head this morning ;)

     

    The 52 Mission #2 has been mailed out! It very well could be going through Georgia on it's way to its next stop. Wooo Wooo! It should reach it's destination in a few days. Watch out for it!!

  13. Yayyy! 52 Pickup, The Mission arrived at my home this week. Thank you FScout! She included two beautiful coins: A Signal that I did not have and a Crake's Wildflower. I didn't have it either and have really desired it. Thank you so much. Oh! The card I wanted is still available! Yay for me!

     

    Now, to decide who to send it to and which coins to include. It will go out later this week. <_< Are there any peeps overseas who want it? I wonder........

     

    Thank you to Patty for taking care of the record keeping and organizing for the mission. :anibad:

  14. I went shopping today and came across such a nice and suitable thing to send with this mission, I just had to buy it. Hmm can´t wait to get the mission so I can send this out.

    Thanks for doing this fun mission.
