  1. I love it. Hopefully someone will have an extra one for trade?
  2. this is a great translation site and easy to use: Multi Language Translation Site i have found that short concise sentences will better convey your message. it sure does come in handy for me, add it to your favorites! Send me an email with what you want to ask him and I can translate it for you.
  3. Why would you not go to the Groundspeak store itself to purchase these?
  4. Eric, I guess I am still around --- Now and then at least Still enjoy the more colorful comments, when they come around. I guess facebook and/or Twitter have taken the role of the forums for some of the old timers / regulars I know, in trading comments and thoughts.
  5. Love it. I would use nickel. Goes well with the black and white of the Panda.
  6. Sehr interessante Geocoin. Very nice, looking forward to the development of this coin. Hope the price will be affordable here in the US with shipping from Europe.
  7. A very nice addition to the BCGA coins. Very nice design.
  8. You've got to be kidding. Actually, you're probably not and that is the sad part. Cache Owner = Hide a cache for others to find Cache Finder = Use the information presented to find the cache Going back to the beginning, it's really as simple as that. Apart from your rude sarcasm, from which was unnecessary, I was talking about common sense and etiquette. It used to not be simple of hide the cache, find the cache, or at least it was before people felt they had a right to do whatever the heck they wanted to do. Here's my example: Cache Owner = Hide a multi Cache Finder = Find the stages of the multi until final stage is found Not Cache Owner = Hide a multi Cache Finder = Bypass stages to quickly find the cache and move on to the next cache real fast Or another Cache Owner = Set up and hide a mystery cache Cache Finder = Figure out the ACTUAL puzzle or complete the requirements to find mystery cache Not Cache Finder = Ask someone who already found the cache and ask them for the answer, or bypass a few requirements to get to the final stage faster. Will you go to jail for bypassing stages? No, of course not. Might some owners find it rude? Sure might! If the only important thing was to find the cache, then traditional caches would be the only cache out there. Multis, Mysteries, and others were created for a reason. I don't think Allanon is disagreeing with you in that. Multis and Mysteries are definitely part of the fun, I don't think anyone has questioned those. And I agree, bypassing the first stages to find the final based on someone elses notes is not part of the original caching etiquette! But adding some strange requirements to be able to get the signe logbook "approved" is beyond the original spirit.
  9. You've got to be kidding. Actually, you're probably not and that is the sad part. Cache Owner = Hide a cache for others to find Cache Finder = Use the information presented to find the cache Going back to the beginning, it's really as simple as that. Agreed 100%! --------- Plain and simple like that! I always thought that the search for the cache was the fun. At least that is what it used to be (and still is for me and my family and team) -- a (family) fun activity. Hope these new rules will help to get us back to this stage of caching.
  10. Which of the vendors actually have been changing their company names (and not just their personal caching names)? Edit: Let me re-phrase that: What are their "new" names?
  11. email sent Edit: Took some of the "fluff" out.
  12. These coins are activated under the "Fallen Heroes" account and are not transferable/adoptable. Here is a little excerpt from they sellers webpage quote: "THESE COINS ARE PRE-ACTIVATED AND CAN NOT BE ADOPTED. THEY ARE ALL 'OWNED' BY A SPECIAL ACCOUNT SETUP ESPECIALLY FOR THESE COINS!! ". endquote
  13. Looking for a 2007 British Columbia Trader list is in signature. Thanks Trade made.
  14. You did well, and the comments on the coin page from the owner are more than out of line. Thanks for the effort you put in. I wish I had that kind of commitment for some of my coins out there.
  15. Well I wish I had been into geocaching in 1989, when I spent two weeks on a geology excursion from Univ. Hamburg traveling all the way up to Scourie More. Wonderful country you have there and even more so, very friendly people. I enjoyed my trip very much, actually had my very first salmon on that trip. Lovely coin as well. Maybe one day I will make it back over to Scottland.
  16. Well, If I would have been into Geocaching in 1994 (oops it wasn't quite invented back then) I would have definitely found this cache as we went early in the morning to Lake Matheson to view the reflection of the mountains in the mirror like lake. In fact I took some pictures of this spot, however on 35 mm slides (and I yet have to find a way to easily transfer these slides to digital images). So my vote as to where you should go is Lake Side Retreat (West Coast) GC18886. A beautiful spot, especially if you go when before the morning breeze sets in or during an exceptionally calm day. If you feel like a walk on the beach, you should continue down Gillespies Road and drive down to Gillespies Beach and visit the fur seals colony. But be aware of the bulls, they are a bit territorial and protective, and faster than you expect on land. P.S. Happy Waitangi Day to you. I spent that day in 2003 in Christchurch. Very nice celebration indeed.
  17. Very nice design!! (I especially like the black nickel version). E-mail sent.
  18. If anyone is still looking for one of these 2008 Kiwi coins, I have a couple extra ones.
  19. In my opinion the geocoin is rare because this geocoin is the Official Portuguese Geocoin 2008, an choice of the Portuguese Geocaching Community! This geocoin is unique and tell the story of the most popular traditional Portuguese music "Fado"., and the guitar represent an Portuguese and made traditional guitar with 12 cords (the sound of this guitar is unique). All this elements are represented in the geocoin, an unique geocoin and representative of the Portuguese culture. I'm Portuguese and this is my opinion about this geocoin! If you know the music "Fado" you understand the geocoin and you no way is rare!! First, I invite you to listen to the genre "Faro" tu fully understand the concept of this geocoin. I think there are quite a few other "rare" coins out there, and a lot of them have a particular meaning, but I doubt that any of them are asking a 3 for 1 trade for it. We do not doubt that this is a great coin, just your elevated trade request is the matter of these comments.
  20. I am putting a couple of my personal LE Family Matters coins up for online trade. I have these two finishes are for personal trade only or for cache drops. If you are interested please send me an email with offers via my oshndoc at gmail dot com account. Thanks. I do have a seeking list in my signature, but if you think you have something I don't have and really must have which is not in the list, ---- I might just listen. On the other hand, please do not be upset if I don't go for your trade offer. Here ya go. Polished Gold Satin Nickel LE Satin Black Nickel and Satin Nickel LE
  21. Looking for a Garmin Oregon coin. Will trade multiple coins for it. Thank You.
  22. Sarah, I don't think I will be seeing 12:00 am CDT. Too much action and adventures with children. All worn out already. Happy New Year to you, and everyone else reading the forums these days.
  23. I have a 2008 New Zealand GPS Society for trade. Also have a few of my personal "Family Matters" coins in trade-only editions (polished gold/ satin nickel and black nickel / satin nickel) I might let go for the right offer . Please email no PM's as I rarely check the PM folder.
  24. Our third and last kids mission arrived finally today. :) More later, Christmas preps are in full swing. Thank you already in advance. Merry Christmas to our mission partners and to everyone else.
