I don´t actually know it´s name, but I know it is an LE version. I love the wolfpack coins, they are currently my favourite coins, and this one was sent to me as part of a recent geocoin mission. If I find out i will message you

This is my first post as I am a new collector, and like a lot of other people I am on a limited budget. I keep seeing loads of coins that I would love to own but I have to restrain myself for now.... this is what I have collected in the last few weeks:

I think there needs to be some distinction here between Grammar/spelling/punctuation and text speak. I am not the best person at English, whether it be spelling, grammar or punctuation. I am also not the best at typing and sometimes make mistakes when I am using a keyboard that I would not make writing with a pen. However, most people reading one of my posts, no matter what age level, social background or even country they are from, will understand me... as long as they can read English of course. What I struggle with is text speak: I think it is lazy and pretty much incomprehensible. I am 39 years old and I am from England. When I see posts written in text speak I won't usually bother to try and decipher them. If the person is asking for help, and cannot be bothered to write in proper sentences then why should I bother to try and understand the question? When I used to work in a ten-pin bowling centre and we used to get job applications written in text speak we treated them in the same manner - they went in the bin. If you can't make an effort to get something you want then you are too lazy to waste time on. Text speak is not about a person's lack of understanding of the English language, that person has spent time and effort to learn text speak. I find if baffling so anyone that can learn it should find learning to write in English a breeze! Everyone makes mistakes, when writing or typing - that is forgiveable: but to consciously make a decision to use text speak instead is not in my opinion. The OP said that this was in response to people putting down a newbie on the board - maybe the newbie in question should have made a bit of an effort if they were asking for help on a forum where they were new and tried to make a good first impression???

oooh.sometimes I LOVE being wrong

I am a huge mini fan and I was quite excited when this was posted but I am not sure it exists.... I know a £5 classic mini coin was released by the Royal mint, but I have never heard of a geocoin..... I might think of getting one minted myself though

I'll be interested in this too,hopefully by then my list will have grown somewhat

this is a bit of a long shot, but you don't have any GeoSmurfz coins do you??

Like I said, it is a risk I am not willing to take, sorry. You may be completely genuine and I am sure that I will be kicking myself when the others send you trackables and they get logged in Antarctica, but I would not be willing to send any sort of valuables to someone I didn't know unless they were of good standing in the community. If you had 200 posts on here, or had logged a couple of hundred caches then I would not have so much of an issue. It has been known for people to join geocaching just to find trackables then go out and harvest them, it doesn't happen a lot, but it DOES happen. I just like to play it safe.....

Update!!! Finally sorted!! Yay!! I have just arrived at my mum's place in the UK and the package was here waiting for me, jammed packed with goodies Thanks so much to Gold Bug Girl for not giving up. I love everything in the package, thanks so much

Am I the only one who is nervous about this?? The OP has only discovered one cache and yet everyone seems fine with sending coins to them..... Am I missing something here?? sorry if this seems overly paranoid but I have had trackables go missing, both mine and those that I have moved on, and I am very wary of where I leave them because I count myself responsible until they have been moved on by someone else.... I did send a message to the OP asking why they only had only found one cache along with some other questions. The other questions were answered but no answer to the lack of cache finds... Sorry, a great idea in principle but I think I'll be passing on this....

I noticed this yesterday and did something today that made me think "I can post in that thread now" got another one lined up for tomorrow to that should make people smile.... I think this is a great idea!

I am still looking for a GeoSmurfz coin, if anyone spots one please let me know. I have had the nickname Smurf for 30 Years and I would love one of these coins

I have been in touch with goldbuggirl and we have agreed that the package should be resent to my mum who is in the UK. The post is much better there and I will be visiting in the next few weeks... what a palaver!!! lol

42 cacher, I sent an email to you earlier from my new email address, did you receive it? If not please message me via here with your address again and I will resend, it was sent weeks ago, so must have got lost. i will send with a signed for service this time so you will need to be in to receive it. Still hide - I have replied to your message

I have been travelling through asia for a few weeks and have not been able to get online. I am also having some problems with my emails. If anyone would like a Mijas costa edition please leave a message for me here and i will contact you with an alternative email address...

Hi Buka2, It was actually me who sent yours I thought you might have guessed when you got it as the pathtag is a Spanish one lol. I am glad that Vivian likes her gifts and thankful that it finally turned up! Hope your foot gets better soon Goldbuggirl - I'll reply to your email hun....

I am now in a similar position but slightly worse... I leave for China in two days and I do not have anyone house-sitting for me. I do have someone popping in but if I am not there the postie will leave a card - my passport will be needed to get the parcel from the post office and of course I will need my passport with me I will be away for 3 weeks and have no idea how long they keep post in Spain before taking action on it - I also have no idea what action they will take... eek!

I have received mine either but I am in Spain so I guess it may take a while...

Ooh some of those are really nice...can't wait to see them for real

Azure Sky - the coin arrived today - thank you so much It is a very nice coin, lovely design

My best so far is 17 in one day, but I've only been caching a short time, less than 6 months so there is time to build it up yet! I don't really think the numbers matter tbh, as long as you enjoy the hobby, that is the main thing...

Yay! thanks so much for the cointest, I'll send you my details now, cheers
