  1. And tainted to me includes all the drama that went along with tranquility. There is no drama here, just delays from the mint. Sorry for the second post but in defense of my friend, he will come through, no doubt there. The coin is still just as beautiful as it always was.

  2. Please be patient, there are some hold ups at the mint and sometimes Jim's response is a delay because the mints response is delayed. I can assure you they are in production as I am his bff. I don't know the details of how the mint and him do their thing, but I know they are in production and the mint has been paid. I know that for a fact, so people give him so slack and hang in there. Hopefully he will know something soon, but you will not have to learn a lesson the hardway, he always makes good.

  3. Help! Today I brought a bunch of geocoins with me to work to share with some potential geocachers. These coins included coins my daughter and I have collected over the past couple of years...from GW VII in Bell Buckle to numerous coin challenges throughout the state of Oregon....to the GPS Maze Adventure in Redding, Ca. And many other beautiful coins that are most likely irreplacable. After work I decided to stop and grab a cache on the way home. Biggest mistake I ever made. I parked along with about 10 other cars and headed to cache...upon my return most of the cars had been broken into. Windows broke trunks opened, etc. Everything gone! Immediately I thought big deal they got muy lunch bag and some clothes I was donating to Goodwill....then it dawned on me.....at the bottom of my backpack....were the prized geocoins that my family and I had worked so hard to gather and collect. I wanted to just collapse....just had nothing to say...speechless...my heart just sank. geocaching has become pretty much our families life support and this collection has meant so much to us. To have someone who it means so little to steal this from us...is just devastating. I know there there are worse things that could have happened....but we are just floored by this. I made the police report, called local pawn shops....will report to insurance....but as a coin collector you can imagine how this must feel. Here's the kicker......all coins unactivated. UGH!!!!

     

    Please if anyone sees a large quantity of coins trying to be unloaded somewhere....eBay, Craiglist etc....we are located in the Eugene, Oregon area and the return (little hope) would mean the world to me, tobe4evr1 and my daughter, ukrainian princess. Please send us an email with any information or ideas.

     

    Thanks for letting me ramble.....but I thought if anyone would be a good listener it would be my geocaching family.

    Dude that so sucks... amazing what this world has come too and how the bad apples keep being able to affect us all. Could you post a specific list ? I watch ebay all the time and they register in my brain so it could help to watch for them... Also there are people that would like to be able to help if we can and even though they are not the coins that you and your wife and daughter won or collected together, people in this hobby try to stick together huh... how is your daughter? i bet she took this hard..Anyway ....sometimes the only thing that can make the sadness and yucky-pukie- angry-throw-something and scream feeling go away is the feeling that others care and understand.

  4. Good Jeremy Geocoin - LAST ONE

    Bad Jeremy Geocoin - LAST ONE

     

     

    Hi paula----

    i was wondering if we are allowed to buy the Jeremy coin from you since I thought only he was allowed to sell it? I would really love one, but only with his permission of course.. did you get that before you listed this one or may that come back to get us both :P

  5. If a traveler sat for 30 days then you might want to consider moving it along.

     

    Check to see if it has some special requirements that might limit who can pick it up or where it can go. If so you can let it sit longer.

    That's kind of where my mind was also. I appreciate your input. One of my geodudes has a hotel and his move great so I guess i could also dump them there :) Thanks again

  6. I thinks as long as you have not applied any silly TB trading rules to your cache page, you should be good. probably the only advertising you need is to drop some bugs in there yourself.

    Actually I have now edited my cahce because I had requested trade in and then out... which I did leave for the coins...but the bugs are meant for travel so I said take them and go... thanks for the point out...

    I think that my original statment applies for GeoCoins as well. I believe people who actualy release GeoCoins into the wild are wanting them to travel just like a TB.

    I completely agree although some of the fun with coins is discovering them and getting the icons and their presence... well that's my thrill :) Coins are much harder for me to go out and find to replenish also.. and with people not updating contents in caches when coins are "missing, just hit the missing button please!"... half of caches that say they have coins don't. We take alot of pics with our moving things so that the owner can see where they've been and that they spent some time at a daycare in Eugene, Oregon.

    Thanks for your input, I so appreciate the thinking :D

  8. If a travel bug hotel is in a good spot for the quick and easy exchange of travel bugs, then an empty hotel won't stay empty long. People are always looking for a convenient place to drop bugs off. The owner of a well-placed hotel should actually be pleased if the hotel is occasionally empty, since it shows that the hotel is serving its purpose: to get bugs moving quickly. And if a hotel does stay empty for long periods of time without the cache owner continually raiding other caches to re-stock it, then it's not a good place for a travel bug hotel. - the hermit crabs @ Dec 2 2005,

     

    I'll add that if the bugs sit a long time without moving then it's not a good place for a hotel either.

     

    So I am a spaz cause I have only had the cache going for 7 days today but how long is long sitting without moving ? I have had 3 or 4 thru to swap and plenty of visitor with coins and adding bugs. Currently there are at least 10 and I started with 4 or 5...so a cpl weeks ? Everyone that's came says it's a good spot so maybe a month and then I will have a better feel for how long?
