    How do you thwart "cheaters"?

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Plain and simple...Cheaters never win.Besides there are no set guidlines as to how to find a cache.Only guidlines as to placement.Ultimately there will always be geocachers who find shortcuts.I've done it myself.Not intentionally in most instances,but it happens.

    Personally i choose not to go after multi's and puzzle caches,only because they tend to be to drawn out to find just ONE cache.Unless of course,it's the only cache around to find or it's going to be enjoyable to find.It's a matter of perspective and personal preference.

    Never the less you will never thwart "cheaters".........Deal with it or find a new way to hide caches...

    I just lookin for some feedback on my new coin.When i came up with this idea,i wanted to put all my passion into one coin.Geocaching,airbrushing geocaches and micros(I Love Hiding Them!)

    I won't be taking any reservations until i get my photo samples.I should have those within the next couple of days or so.Here is my final artwork!!84224044-30c8-41f8-97d5-83f77c0365a5.jpg

    I will be minting 250 coins in SHINY Chrome and 100 coins in SHINY Gold.The Gold coins will be a Litmited edition.All coins will be G.C. Trackable w/Custom Icon.Each set of coins will be numbered 1-250 for chrome and 1-100 for gold.Frontside of the coin will be 3-D.The dimensions are 2 in. wide by 1.35 in. tall.The thickness will be 3.5 mm.I originally wanted a completely 3-d coin but accordining to Groundspeak thats not possible anymore.I guess it wouldn't be coin if it was 3-D right?

    I look forward to hearing feedback from my fellow Geocoin collectors!!

    Thanks!!!JIMBOBWE

    how do you activate these coins were do you find activation code?

    I'm surprised Groundspeak gave the ok as its not a "geocoin".

     

    Looks nice but Ive seen swag that looks just like it (Dont want them to go missing.

     

    It's amazing how much Groundspeak is wiling to bend their rules.A little less than a year ago when i was developing my Painting for Cache geotrackable item,I wanted the airbrush to be completely 3-d.In esessence a miniture airbrush.I suppose i should count my lucky stars let me do one side of it dimensional....Honestly,i would have to say that a coin is not a coin unless it's round. :laughing:

     

    They do look neat however.....

    I haven't been able to get out to any events so i had my 9yr. old daughter draw numbers out of a paint can.I figured it's been long over due to draw for these.The gold winner gets first dibs on choice of can....

     

    The winners are # 13 gold & 75 chrome

     

    Thanks everyone!!!!

    I'm wondering if our events will be too close with Toledo (JIMBOBWE) to be of benefit, wondering how far down you're going to hold yours Jim?? I had planned to host ours in Adrian (at the golf course). I could discuss this with my friends and see if we can come up with another location to use further up and away from Toledo??

     

    Let me know of your plans Jim...we'll see what we can get worked out!

     

    edit to add: MI has disappeared from your list. ;-)

     

    Yeah i thought about that,My original location was going to ge at Wildwood MetroPark.But i've been toying around with a couple locations in downtown Toledo.If i go with downtown,it would give me an opportunity to hide a bunch of urban caches before the event.Something to highlight the area.Kinda like the celebrate Detroit series.

    I'm not sure yet,but i know we can work it out. :rolleyes:
