  1. I think it's cute! If i were to find it I would trade for it and put it with my other sig items that i have collected... i possibly could put it on my caching bag as well if i had a key ring with me
  2. If I am out by myself or with other adults I just trade for sig items. When I'm out with my daughter then we trade anything. We are thinking about putting a baggie with some string and a bead. Then in other caches leave just a bead so that the little kids can make a caching necklace as they find caches. Not sure on this yet but an idea we are kicking around.
  3. I walked the Susan G Komen 3 day this year in Dallas and WOW what an experience. I love this coin and sent an email about it. Totally going to help you get to all of the events this year. I can't imagine the commitment it will take but what a great year of life changing events! Congrats on thinking of this wonderful way to bring your two loves together!
  4. thanks for the tips i was having problems with my compass leading me to the waymarks i have put in for multis as well..... so now i have changed the compass theme and will try it tomorrow thanks again
  5. i have a blackberry curve.... have geocaching navigator on it... also like cacheberry
  6. my laptop is the same way.. no serial..... the generic worked fine for the etrex legend i had =)
  7. add louisianna and mississppi to the list of caches at rest stops =)
  8. I have the 400t and love it =) im not sure what the price on it now is tho...... just my 2 cents
  9. i have been toying with the idea of getting a detector for my 8 year old... she loves to go caching but really gets left out when we cache in bigger groups.. this, i think, would be something fun she could all on her own while we are out caching =)
  10. bittsen..... wanna come leave some here around me those are great!!!!!
  11. i like that fimo nickel very cute!!!!! the only recommendation i have for people leaving sig items make sure your names are on them so we know they are a sig item..... the person that said they leave flower seeds... make sure they are in baggies so the packet doesnt get wet =) i am also looking into pathtags but don't have the funds to be able to do them yet... hopefully soon =)
  12. ad5smith.... i was just looking around online to see if there was a site where you could swap sig items but no luck..... where are you from are you close to me? im in texas?
  13. i collect any and all sig items i find normally lol.... i leave mine in all caches that are big enough... if you would enjoy finding it go ahead with it
  14. I live a sig item in any case that is big enough its a piece of acrylic cut into TMF looks kinda like a cookie cutter.... i collect sig items =) love them =)
  15. these are great!! thanks for posting these pictures really makes you wonder how some of the trees and items got together and how they stayed that long without being moved, stolen, or broken down by the weather =)
  16. i also love sig items..... i take them when i find them and leave them in any cache that i can find =) the more unique and personable the better....
  17. this thread is awesome!! i have found a few sig items and love love love sig items... thats what i hope for at every cache i find =) yall keep up the good work.... im in the process of getting a sig item made but its not going to be this cool lol
  18. Did you dream-log them as DNFs? If not then you should do that tonight while you are sleeping. i know i am a newbie but when i went to watch avatar in 3d with my hubby for new years eve and during most of the movie i kept telling myself..... if a cache was there it would def be a 5/5... ohhhh that would be a good place lol and yes i know i have it bad lol
  19. I don't think many people have an issue with McToys per se. I think a new one in it's original wrapper makes a nice trade item. It's the dirty, broken ones that look like someone found it under his car seat that many find annoying. Yeah - ditto that - as long as there's still lots of room to repack the cache well, they are fine. My teens still like to trade for them. I cache with my 8 year old daughter and she is super happy to see a mctoy or similar in there.. missing pieces or not because we don't eat out much and very rarely at fast food so its something new...she will play with the toy for a week or so and then put it back in her swag bag to trade at another cache! Let her have what fun she can with 'em. Playing is serious business for kids. But if they are broken or missing parts just toss 'em out when she is done with 'em. oh yea if they are missing pieces or broken or cruddy by the time she is done they dont go back in the swag bag
  20. have to put my 2 cents in on this subject My 8 year always goes with me caching...... on weekends its normally just her and I but when we go out on weekdays either during school hours or after my 2 year daughter is with me..... i have had more looks being out on the rare occasion that im by myself then when i have one of the girls with me. When you have the kiddos you can go walking through the woods, down trails, down back road alleys or whatever and most people will be under the impression that you are just out for a walk with you child.... just smile or wave and act like you know what you are doing and where you are going. but on that note do use discretion.. stay with some easier bigger containers as well as watching where you and he are going (i know this is common sense but just have to put this in) my 8 year is pretty good about watching for holes, dips, and drop offs but obviously i have to watch where the lil one is going and what she is doing... we dont do any of the creek bank caches when she is with us and the like..... take him and have fun is my opinion better then him sitting in the house watching tv all day =)
  21. my mom makes them in tennessee and a lot get sent overseas... you can see hers here she custom makes them in 3 different styles as well as lots of different colors. Her prices are a lot better than that site lol
  22. my 8 year old daughter caches with me and loves it... she doesnt care what we find as long as we are out and about .... if i make the find before her i "keep looking" until she makes some of the finds =)
