    Power Saw

    buhhhh dum buhhhh dum buh dum buh dum buhdumbuhdumbuhdumbuhdum
  3. Ya I'm thinking a proxy is the least bad solution. They still go missing but depending on how you do it you can just print off a new one and go again. Best I've seen is the image of the coin on a poker chip, it had good weight, looked good and if it went missing it's easily replacable. Nothing compared to having the real thing out there but I've given that up too after so many of mine went into other peoples collections.

    Power Saw

    Well before you can get your hands on them I'm going to have to get my hands on them first ! We've talked to a couple online shops about selling these but nothing concrete yet. For now if you're interested send me a message and when they arrive I will make up a paypal invoice and we can do it that way! The #s break up like this 100 RE Shiny Nickel 38 LE Shiny Gold 12 AE ????? - you may be wondering well what is the AE plating and enamel etc... the answer is I don't know. this could actually be a Ninja Edition rather than an AE as I got the design house to make this a surprise for me. The only stipulation was "Not solid 24ct gold w/ Swarovski crystal eyes because I'm too poor for that". Right now we will be keeping some aside for locals and those who come down to do the trails but I will have a good hunk for online if it's needed. A maximum of 8 AE will be sold as the rest are give away's/keepers and I will only be able to sell 2 right away. RE $15, LE $20, AE $25 - all + shipping. $ is in CAD Shipping: The amount it costs to ship is the amount I will charge you. The cost to ship without a tracking # can be anywhere from $2-$6 (depending on size and destination obviously). Shipping with a tracking code within canada is about as much as an RE & to the US and Int is about as much as an AE. This means unless you specifically ask for one I will not be shipping with a tracking number. All procedes go back into maintaining these trails and for further coins. Thanks for the interest!

    Power Saw

    I just got word that the first coin I've been involved in designing is finished production! Background: In 2010 a group of us local cachers in Medicine Hat got together and set up a yearly weekend full of events and called it Southern Alberta Weekend or SAW. In 2012 a small faction of this group put it upon themselves to create a power trail series in an attempt to further attract other cachers to our city and called themselves Power Saw. A few months ago I got together with this group and we discussed making a coin. Using an idea originally given to me by wavector and the pathtag they have been making for the past couple years we finally came along this blueprint. It is 2" by 3mm thick fully shaped so it looks like it could fit in and function with a miniature chop saw. It depicts their power saw mascot on the one side and the 3 main trails and their respective starting coordinates on the other. Of course fully trackable on geocaching.com with it's own icon! Sorry had to express my jubilance somewhere and the happy dance just wasn't doing it today!
  6. email sent. hopefully it went through as work internet is not great. i mean i wasn't looking at geocoins at work?!

  11. Dear Easter Bunny, Whatever you hide for me I will name it George, and I will hug it and pet it and squeeze it, and pat it and pet it and rub it and caress it and... ok this may have gone a bit out of the PG rating. in short. I'm good with anything. If you wish to get me something I don't have, all coins I own are activated. Thanks Easter Bunny you're the best!

  20. my wife and I went to Tahiti, bora bora, moorea for our honeymoon and got traditionally done tattoos there. they mean tons to us and i'm currently in discussions for designs with them on a personal coin for us to give out. I've been busy the last few weeks so it's kind of stalled for now but am super excited for it. I can let you know when they're done if you like
