  1. I am sorry. I actually thought I posted a note last night.

     

    Icons are put up two days a week by Groundspeak. Sometimes we miss the date. Other times we are waiting on icon art from the artist. And yet other times we simply have to dream one up.

    I am sorry for the delay. I know there are a couple more that have been submitted. I am sure they will be up on Friday. Others are we are still waiting for the art.

     

    We appreciate your patience. I sounds like part of the issue was lack of communicational. I apologize for that and hope we will do better in the future. We really do appreciate our customers and want to be sure they are all happy.

     

    If it happens you do not get a response try the info@hogwildstuff.org. That will go to be and I will do the best I can.

  2. Received 3 copper w/red grips today, will have them with me at GW7 to trade. Looking forward to seeing some of you there, having some fun cache runs. Anyone have a black nickel or shiny silver geocoin fairy they want to get rid of?

     

    OH MY! Perhaps green is the new brown and Magenta is the new black in China? I am so sorry about this.

    I do not get the coins when they arrive and I did not know this was happening. It is Steve's Sabbath and we will not be able to answer this issue until Tomorrow.

     

    I just wanted you all to know I am now aware of it and not ignoring the situation.

     

    Thanks so much for your patience.

  3. Not in my mailbox but in person here at MOGA!! :blink:

    how absolutely adorable! how big are they?

    They are about 1.75 or 2 in long - not completely sure. I meant to have a coin or pathtag in the picture but I forgot in my excitement. :blink:

    The gun is 2 inches and the holster is roughly 1.75" I beleive.

  4. Hogwild Stuff is down due to a hardware break down on the server providers side. They are working on the issue and we will have us up and running soon.

    If you are trying to purchase coins or get codes, please keep checking the site.

     

    Thanks for everyones patience. The techinical age is wonderful until it fails us! :laughing:

  5. I really want the version that looks the best. I do understand having a special version for an event's committee or some such, but if it looks a bunch better, why not go for it for everyone?

     

    The last event coins we did for the ASPGB event, I wanted to do a glitter sky, but the mint would not do a full production run on it. I asked if it would be willing to do 15 or so. And they did and I had them made as gifts for the committee with one to sell as a fund-raiser.

     

    But if I could have had it done, the coin on the right would have been the coin we sold.

    It's a great looking coin, but I see what you mean and I agree. Why wouldn't the mint do a full run?

     

    I was thinking the same thing...If you can do 20 which is more work, I would think they could do 500.

  6. Well I have to start out by apologizing to the wonderful Grodan, for taking so long to open my box! Had I known how long it would take to get through all the wrapped goodies I would have started weeks ago! LOL!

    I was late getting my mission out and I refused to open my arrived mission until I got mine out of the house.

    Finally, I was able to open the box. My kids have been asking for a couple weeks how long I was waiting "to open that box from Sweden"

     

    WOW! It was one full box! All kinds of decorations of snowmen and Santa's! Swedish Chocolate! You can bet we are fighting over that! My daughter insisted on helping me open each goodie. It didn't take long before I noticed she had a little pile to open and I had none! LOL! She had a blast...Said it gave her great practice for the big day.

    I got so many great coins. The grodan frog, their cat, a big bean, a golden horn and geovan. Not to mention the cool pin and tag. Talk about spoiled!

    Thank you so much for great fun! Great gifts and precious time with my daughter!

  7. There is no perfect way to do it. If there was someone would have figured it out by now. LOL! You just do the best you can. Though at the times things happen we all vent and are frustrated I think once we calm ourselves down, we know that there is just only so much you can do.

    Guessing demand is not easy. Easy for us to tell you what to do.... we don't absorbe the loss!

  8.  

    I find it very disappointing that the coins are dismantling after being picked up by one or two cachers.

     

    This is the first we are hearing of the problem.... Hogwild Stuff will of course work with our customer to take care of this issue.

    My coin is in my purse and gets banged around daily and is doing fine. Hopefully it is just a small few that are having this issue.

  9. The chances of one coming to little nowhere'sville Illinois is pretty slim but I'll be watching just in case someone misses a turn and ends up here.

     

    A GREAT LOOKING COIN

     

    I was so wrong - I RETRIEVED THE COIN from Castle on the River (GC1CWYW)

     

    The coin had been dropped and then picked up by someone but never recorded.

     

    After not finding the coin in this cache and it having not been retrieved, I was extremely disappointed that I missed my chance to see this coin. But since it had been several days and no one had retrieved it, I sent out a few e-mails and located the coin. Sure enough, it had been picked up by a little cacher as a swag. I got an email back that “The Mommy” was going to return it to the cache. So I met her in the parking lot Saturday morning as she returned the coin. In order to give them a chance to retrieve the coin and collect the icon, I waited 24 hours to record the find.

     

    I HAVE THE COIN. It is fantastic. One of the pins holding the globe is broken but still this is truly an amazing coin. I never really dreamed that I would even get to see one but now I have it. I was so afraid that it had been so close and then lost. This is such an AWESOME coin even in 2 parts.

     

    I will be hanging onto it for a while to show it off to anyone that wants to discover it. THANKS for sending them into the wild.

     

    WOW! I find this troubling. That "little cacher" should have bee allowed to keep that coin. I hope you told them that it was an option. I would hate to think you just stole candy from a baby.

  10. The Nutcracker Ballet is on of the greatest Christmas traditions. It is timeless music and a timeless story. This coin was conceived by The World’s Worst Cacher and turned into reality by Jamie of www.madhattersneverland.com. The coin is a very tall 2 inches.

    Find them at Hogwild Stuff While supplies last.

  11. I really, really, REALLY don't think that Eartha did anything less than honest.

     

    If you look at the thread you see that this is a new cacher and that there is a TB number listed. The biggest possibility is that the cacher put in the actual coin number instead of the TB number.

     

    It's beginning to feel a bit like a witch hunt, ya'll.

    :rolleyes: Witch hunt :anibad: - I hardly think so. I used to be paranoid, now I'm sure everyone thinks I am :laughing:

     

    In my experience when logs get edited, particularly someone other than the creator of a log, the reason is given. In this case it was not and gives just cause to wonder exactly what had been edited. Eartha has given a perfectly understandable explanation - had a wee note been added to the log to say that this was edited to remove the tracking number the question would never have come up.

     

    Now back to checking Team DeLorme's trackables list to see where these beauties are popping up, witch is the only hunting going on here :ph34r:

     

    I guess the best thing to do in the future is to check out the thread to see if there are answers to our pondering and questions. If there is one, like in this case.

    I (like many others ) do not state why a log was edited when I do that. It would just bring attention to my terrible typing and spelling skills!

     

    It appears to me the best way to get one of these coins is to go the DeLorme Earthmate Demo's. They seem to be going to all the big outdoor recreation stores. They are great people and love to meet you.

    Perhaps you can say "Are you glad to see me? Or is that eartha in your pocket?" :anibad:

    Melissa, I have never met you! How did you know? I got a Posion Ivy at a geobreakfast in winter! I am still trying to figure that one out!

    You are the worlds worst cacher??? The one that came to Rhodes island in Greece???? :)

    I am asking because I think a geocacher with that codename came in a cache very close to my house (In the cache in Monte smith...in the Antennas...) and left a Hogwildstuff pin which is now in my hands!!! I couldn't find any info about this pin (it is gold in color, round and as a design has the seal of Hogwildstuff)!!!!

     

    You are probably not this geocacher, but what a coincidence!!!! :D

     

    BTW...I love your T-shirt! :(

     

    I am a imposter. This is the real Worlds worst cacher.

    My oldest was hellbent on being Elmo, despite being about 5 years older than most Elmo-enthusiasts. My youngest was slated to be Cookie Monster, but when JoAnn's didn't have any blue fur, we switched gears and he became a cookie! Oh, and the deal was that "The Bunny" gets all the Heath Bars... :rolleyes:

     

    Love the jug of milk. Nice touch.

     

    What kind of bunny are you, with ONLY two kids? :)
