Still a few more for sell and many fo trades.

Please send me e-mail by my profile. Thanks

I'd love to send you an email as per your instructions, but I can't find an actual email address and writing to you through groudspeak will not allow me to add a subject line. So I'll send you a message that way anyway and hope for the best! Good point. I modified my original posting. Thanks.

Each year for the Halloween, I place a special cache in my area. I used Halloween 2004: The Lost Cacher as an inspiration for my first Geocoin. The coin is 1.75” with Black nickel finish. It is a limited edition of 100 with white letters and an ultra limited edition of 11 with red letters. Trackable at geocaching.com. Limit of 1 coin per cacher no exceptions. I will not mint an other run of this coin. It is your opportunity to get it right now. I have 35 coins with white letters for sell at $9 + shipping. Shipping fees: Canada: $1.75, USA $2.50, International $4.25. All prices are in US funds. Send me an e-mail with “Purchase Lost Cacher Coin” at the top of the message. Please include the following in the message: Name: Caching Name: Address: Paypal e-mail: I have 25 coins with white letters for trade. I want to trade them for your own personal coin only. Send me an e-mail with “Trade White Lost Cacher Coin” at the top of the message. The coins with red letters are for very special trades only. I currently have 5 available. I will only consider very limited edition coins or old and rare ones. Send me an e-mail with “Trade Red Lost Cacher Coin” at the top of the message. I will process the coins for sell and the trades of the White coins on a first come first serve basis. For the red coins trades I will wait a few days and take the best offers. I will do my best to ship the coins this weekend.

People like it. Each year I put up an Halloween cache: Halloween 2004: The Lost Cacher Halloween 2005: The Blair Road Witch. As a companion to these caches, I started to place caches based on well known haunting stories: Haunted Ottawa : the Bytown Museum Haunted Ottawa 2 Haunted Ottawa 3: Chateau Laurier Haunted Ottawa 4

I found a great location this morning. I will submit the cache today or tomorrow: Ottawa East Geo-Post. I used a cal 50 amo can. Inside the can I have a Lock&lock container for the postcards. They will stay nice and dry

I will try to find a good location on the East side of Ottawa, close to the 417, this weekend.

I just purchased one this morning. I hope more people will do it. Cool concept. Will see if mine will make it back to Ottawa

Received your tokens + postcard today. Looks very good . Thanks for the trade.

Are all the invoices out? I didn't received mine yet.

Interesting. Do you think that the offer is now greater than the demand? Is it too late to get a personal coin out? I just designed one and I am almost ready. I am starting to wonder if my timing is bad. JF&C

I think cost is also relative to where the coin comes from. I am interested to have a trackable coin and sell some of them so I can have a better price per unit. Looks like a production of 250 units gets the cost per coin at around $5.00 each. But as a Canadian I am at a disadvantage. When I will receive them I will have to pay 15% for the taxes. An Canada post rates are fairly high. For a parcel under 100 grams it cost $1.78 to ship to the US. And between 100 and 200 grams it is $3.00. Add PayPal fees and envelops and my cost for the coin with shipping is around $8.00 at a minimum.

Like you, I decided to cast my own coin. I fully understand the hard work necessary to produce it. Mine are not as pretty as yours. I think if you give me your last one, it will inspire me for my next one

I just completed the casting of my first signature tokens. They are the size of a quarter and made of lead free pewter.

Hi, Normally there are 2 Go and Get Em Events a year (spring and fall). A month before the event, the organisers post the details. If you receive a weekly notificaton of the new caches in the area, you will get all the info required. It is a lot of fun to attend and you will meet a lot of people on the trails and at the dinner on the Saturday night.

I am interested. Unfortunately, I am close to two gates: 400 miles from P4079 and 290 miles from P4271. If I am not able to join the network, I would be interested to set-up something similar across Canada.

Some finds on my cache; Halloween 2004: The Lost Cacher.

In Ottawa, Zartimus has the best ones. Have a look at his Attack of the Squirrels GCKFWZ []

I just released the TB “Canada EH!”, TBHPWE, in the “La Valencia Travel Bug Hotel (View #1)”, GCH4AE, San Diego. It has a special mission; to comeback home Ottawa, Ontario. The bug itself is a note pad for cachers to document its adventures. We will see how long it will take to come back. I know it is not the first bug with a similar mission. How successful the other ones have been?

Hello San Diego, I visited your sunny town last week. I only had the time to find a few caches. I took the opportunity to release my new TB “Canada EH!” TBHPWE in the cache “La Valencia Travel Bug Hotel (View #1)” GCH4AE. Its goal is to go back home to Ottawa, Ontario. It also has a logbook to document its trip. Hope it will start to get moving soon.

Hi, In Ottawa, the Green Belt is an other great place to hike and Geocache. You can go at: http://www.canadascapital.gc.ca/greenbelt/index_e.asp for information and free PDF maps. Have fun JF&C

In My area, Zartimus made The Voorhees Cache GCKYKY. That's a cool one.

Halloween is coming, come and visit my Halloween cache: GCKPA8 “Halloween 2004: The Lost Cacher”. At the same time, you may want to say hello to a lost droid that has been sighted in the area.

Moule, Congratulation for your FTF. I suggested long pants because there’s some poison ivy in the area. Thorin, Your brute force approach is possible, but it will take longer than using the GPS. There are a few multi-trunked trees in the area and the tall grass section is fairly large JF

Hi, My first cache, Ottawa River 1:Remic Rapids (GCKB4E) has been approved. Who will be the first to find?
