How about blue?

Received our coin. What a beaut ! The pics are great, showing every detail, but it just so awesome to hold your own in your hand.

sent request for invoice.

Snoogans coins - Must have....please keep informed !!!

What the HEY !! I got gypped !!! This isn't a Joefrog coin, its a Joe forg'ery. Darn it. Yea, the links seem innocent, but once you clik a category, they offer porn links, gerbil links, toons, ( not bugs bunny either ) and shopping stuff.

Ah hahaaaa !! I got a Joe Forg coin today !!!! My victory dance in the middle of the road ina rainstorm was frank testimony to my glee. to anyone waiting on theirs, its a BEAUTIFUL thing. Just make sure you visit joefrog.org - NOT joefrog.com. BIG difference between the two.

I'm assuming the lack of a reply is a "No" . Thanks anyhow. Neat coin by the way.

Ok, I'm taking a big risk here - I haven't eve talked to my wife yet about getting a screw, but I'm willing to bet she'll like the idea so much she'll want one of her own. Please give me the Double Pleasure Screw. In other words, I'd like two. Thanks for finally offering a desperately needed service for us repressed geocachers.

I dont have a metal coin, would a set of my clay coins be worth one ? Chaoss coins on Fissurs website

Finally, an original thread ! Shoulda known Crimey would be the one to kick it out. I'll take a screw coin, an F'in coin, and if ya make one Criminal, a "Sofa King We Todd It" coin too please. What a classic that could be. Now that I've seen the pic of Sam Hill ( nother constipated lookin old white guy from long ago ) please explain what he did to have such an enduring phrase originate from him. Just what in the Sam Hill did Samuel Hill do ?

ALiens ?!?! No aliens here, move long please.....

What makes you think any of us Yanks would even DREAM of making fun of y'all fine corn fed suthen'rs ? Why, we's so worried bout gettin beat with a hose pipe, we wouldn't DARE ! My folks are livin in Maiden, North Carolina area. I hope to come down and see for myself some of the "unique" things I hear about the south. Anyways, wanna see aliens ? Watch the movie "Signs", then do a rural cache at night near a cornfield here in PA. Amazing what your mind can contrive.

I'm just starting the whole coin thing, so I would be interested in 2 please.

Does it have to be sent to you directly, or posted to this thread ? And do I have to actually FIND the cache ( the one I have in mind is proving elusive, DNF'ed once already), and is a night cache alright ? I might be able to borrow a kilt tonite, and get a pic qwik !

So am I correct in the understanding that you will simply sell some outright, and what then is the price of them ? Nice coin by the way.

I like to see whats hidden behind the curtain. Even as a little kid, when we were going somewhere, I wanted to see what was inside the tree-line, behind the store, over the hill - you get the picture. Caching has helped scratch that itch in my adult years. I like hiding and finding. I tend to spend A LOT of time exploring areas that harbor caches, rather than simply finding and splitting. This has led to a rather low find count, but a high satisfaction ratio. I sincerely believe that a cache is there to bring you to the area, and its up to the seeker to make the hunt enjoyable. If there isn't a cache in an area I'm interested in, I explore to see if I can hide one there. My new cache theory is, if the area isn't really interesting, then I need to make the hunt interesting. A crazy story line, a unique container, or some interesting history can make a plain walk an interesting experience. Hence, my hides take awhile to put out. More than one has been shelved because someone else has placed theirs too close to my prospective hiding spot first. unfortunately, the bugs usually prevent me from taking time to write much in the log book, so I try to make up for it in the online log. I hate the SL, TFTC logs on my caches, so I try to leave quality logs for others. Though I can't compare myself to Oregone's talent, I try to follow his example. ( Not imitate him, just learn from him ) I do my DNF's, try to trade fair, and not let others attitudes bother me. I'd like to say "Live & let live" is my motto, but I'm fallible. Occasionally, I get caught up in the controversies and arguments in the local cacher groups. I've not attended but one event due to my constricted schedule, but I enjoy the comraderie of the online banter amongst cachers.

If its off the beaten path at all, I always have a couple light sources with me, because I usually don't get out till late afternoon/early evening anyhow. A pack of glowsticks, an LED headlamp, and a Pelican Sabre-light are in my swag bag. Even for short hikes, a bottle of water in my bag, and more in my vehicle. Compass, small first aid kit, and usually an ebnergy bar.

You post a request to the locals for caches near the hospital you have to visit for tests. You tell your boss your appointment to see the cardiologist is earlier than it really is so you can find some caches BEFORE your appointment as well as after. You walk a half mile through a drain pipe for a micro after visiting the cardiologist. Pray for Daylight

Like many cachers, I've read and loved the logs of Oregone. However, I see he has been deleting his old logs. Being from the east coast, I don't have the joy of seeing his current write-ups either. The last saga I had seen was him being anesthesitized repeatedly after being stabbed when about to introduce the girls to Soapy boy/Rinsy boy. Hoping someone has copied the logs, or can at least fill me in on the story, and let me know of newer Oregone adventures. Thanks.

That was a good one. LOL. It would make a great Saturday Night Live skit. "Look mommy, we must be a hundred miles from civilization !!! " From off screen, " actually little girl, about 38.4." Camera pans to David Spade sitting there with his earphone headset, and a laptop.

LOL ! Man, I appreciate that comment. Northwestern Pa is the same way. Heres hoping that we get a nice, mild, LONG fall !!!

Nice 1st post Mommy-T ! Congrats to Tom.

Well Mopar, honestly, how many times are you encountering muggers in the woods that you need to maintain the element of surprise over ? I would think in all honesty, the greater likelihood of needing a fire arm would be against an animal. So, lets say you ACTUALLY have to pull on an animal, how much time is lost getting to your concealed carry ? QUOTE: In most places you must pass a criminal and mental health check as well as show proof of training, so very few real morons legally carry a gun. I'm in a relatively small city here. I work in a factory LOADED with morons. The really freaky ones ? They have guns in their cars " cause theres a lotta crazy people out there, ya know ?" Again, I'm not against gun ownership, but I don't believe one little bit that the system keeps the guns from the idiots. And I LOVE this one: "They also tend to take the time to be proficient, and most private citizens who regularly carry a gun practice far more then your average police officer." Yep, them paper targets you line up on, breath a couple times nice and easy, and slowly squeeze the trigger at are great for preparing to take on the attackers we are evidently going to encounter. You cannot convince me that average Joe is gonna have what it takes to decisively come out on top if by some strange freak chance you wind up against the wall while caching. By the time you drop your GPS, pull your gun, and decide you REALLY have to shoot someone, the individual has realized its now them or you for sure. They've got the element of surprise on you. You are already behind the power curve. THEY have initiated this encounter, so they have already thought this through. You are playing catch up. Oh yea, and for the heck of it, if I'm caching in Alaska, I'm gonna be loaded for bear.

Lets see, airbags, seatbelts, etc. = passive safety devices. Fire alarm, pretty harmless, especially in an idiots hands, and a first aid kit ? Come on Mopar, I've heard some piss-poor pro-gun speeches, but you're REALLY reaching here. Alright, just for the record, theres a 12 gauge riot shotgun, a semi auto with two 25 round clips, and a scoped rifle sitting in my upstairs. I quit hunting after the retards from out of town were shooting past me at deer in the side yard of a home, but I still shoot for fun. NOT anti-gun, or anti-hunting by sensible folks. But advocating a gun for most people is a great way of reducing the moron population of the earth, not the criminals, in my arrogant opinion. Most people aren't going to take the time to become proficient enough to be able to save themselves when the moment arises. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from carrying if you feel its necessary, but don't let someone convince you to get a gun through fear mongering. The drug fields ? If it comes to a gun fight, they arent playing fair. Your pistol and couple of clips is laughable when they are throwing down at you with sawed off shotguns and semi or full auto from rifles. They aren't gonna be popping at you with snub nose pistols folks. Face the reality. Most fields are protected by booby traps anyway. If it is guarded by two leggers, they know you're there WAY too soon for you to get the drop on them.
