  1. Wow! Congratulations Yanagi, and well done TrinIzzyCar! I'd like to join in on the next round, please. List in my signature.
  2. Oh, very cute! Thanks for letting us know.
  3. In conjunction with the first Norwegian mega event, one of our most active geocachers created a side event with a geocoin. The event took place at an island in the Oslo fjord, and included a guided tour to the ruins of a monastery. The geocoin reflects this monastery. I found a few coins for sale on this Finnish webshop: http://www.kivenalla.fi/index.php?act=tuotecat&subcategory=12 I found pictures at Geocoinmanager: http://geocoinmanager.net/name/hovedoya Event page: http://www.coord.info/GC4VG3X
  4. I am sorry to be asking what might be a silly question, but... Is this a special version of the annual compass rose geocoin? Or is it a separate design?
  5. My mailbox has been quiet lately... But I did get to trade a couple of very nice coins at the first ever Mega event in Norway! Here are some coins from the event and some from my mailbox over the last few months:
  6. Nothing here, no geocoin in the mail for ages... But one day will have to be the next!
  7. My 36 coins are added! Some rare Norwegian geocoins in there (one of which was given to me by one of Santa's little helpers, on behalf of Santa... ). I'll try to add links within the next few days.
  8. I am still interested in finding a geocache near Beijing airport! I will have a visa for China, yes. It would be fun to meet up with another geocacher, but I'm also prepared to go out on my own. A find in China is worth a taxi ride, I suppose. I'll be spending the week elsewhere in China, but the geocache density is depressing... Beijing airport might be my best solution for a find in China.
  9. :wub: :wub: The forest is always with me! Somewhere in my shoes, trousers or hair, or perhaps a scar somewhere, because it's never long since I've been in the forest. May there never be any traces of me in the forest - but plenty of traces of the forest on me.
  10. I have got a black nickel XLE that I might be willing to trade. I might need some time to get a trade ready, as I've got some busy weeks coming up. Please check my trading list and email me if you are still interested.
  11. Visit the most popular virtual geocache on NZL, http://coord.info/GC2423: " Placed in one of the most beautiful locations in the North Island. You can drive all the way, but for most people, it's quite a journey..." It will teach you something about Maori mythology!
  12. Thanks for the cointest! 6 puzzle caches, 123 caches totally.
  13. Congratulations, TrinIzzyCar! Looking forwards to seeing your photo. I'd like to join for the next round, please. Geocoin trading list: http://coord.info/TB3WX49
  14. That is a correct guess. Search list mission goes overseas.
  15. Consider it a hint, if you'd like. Sorry about the image size, don't know how I can resize it!
  16. Consider it a hint, if you'd like.
  17. A LE round coin was selected, wrapped and delivered to the post office at the end of last week. Next waiting phase begins...
  18. Thanks for all the interesting entries! I would like to use a couple of them for future cointests. This one strikes me as very amusing: I picture that every participant would choose a coin from my trading list, that they would be interested in winning. Then they would compose a photo showing either themselves, something from nature, something in their house, etc (whatever matches the design) to try to illustrate the coin. Any digital editing would be forbidden - you can only use whatever you can take a photo of. I am not sure if the target coin should be mentioned, or if it should be up to the audience to guess... The problem is, how can we choose the most creative and/or most original entry? Is there a way to organize a vote in these forums?
  19. And the winner is.........: 16 Geocharmer81 week 1 Describe the scariest/spookiest place you've searched for a cache. Congratulations! You are free to pick any coin from my trading list: http://coord.info/TB3WX49

  21. Hi Freak_22! Thanks a lot for your information and initiative. I'll be there on August 23rd (9.40 to 14.35) and on August 29th (10.25 to 13.50). Do you think there is time to do anything?
  22. OK, entry period closed! Now I need your help... I found three wishes that I'll be able to fulfill. Which one should it be? A limited edition round coin? A coin with corners? Or a complex-shaped coin? First one to respond gets to choose who will be the next recipient of this mission.
  23. Does anyone else want to sign up for this second round? Last chance - I will make my decision in 48 hours from now!
  24. Haha that's my photo! Wait....I'm confused. My picture has 8 (not 7) horses. And you said there are 8 versions. Am I missing a version? You will be, once I can get my hands on that version A of yours... Sorry, I jsut can't count! I'm sure you have all of them. Unlike me...
