  1. I will be there along with the GxProxySwag hauler to set up a booth. Planning to arrive early so I can do some local caching first.
  2. I would be interested in any of my Frozen Buns coins.Thanks
  3. I would be interested in any of my Frozen Buns coins.Thanks
  4. There are still a limited number of them available at http://shop.gxproxy.com/Geocoins-NEW_c16.htm Shipping is available to anywhere in the world. Beautiful coin...
  5. If you have any of my Frozen Buns coins I would love to buy them back
  6. For any coins that have gone AWOL you can get a Proxy Stunt Double with the code laser engraved on it for $3 at GxProxy.com as they sell minted coins with matching Proxy so you don't release the original coin so it will never go missing. I do know of one that returned after 4.5 years that resurfaced so I guess there is always hope.
  7. Make sure if you purchased one to contact GxProxy.com for the Proxy Stunt Double. They were at the event for $2 but a lot of cachers did not know where to go.
  8. You can get a trackabke at shop.GxProxy.com for only $4.49 and if it goes missing it will be remade for $1. http://shop.gxproxy.com/Venture-Tag-ClockWork-Traveler-VTAG0010.htm
  9. Still wish there was an Icon/Souvenir for Mexico...been asking for years
  10. Each coin comes with a matching Proxy Stunt Double. If you look at the green coin in the pictures - that is the coin you can send out while you keep the original in your possession. Keep an eye on our GxPROXY Facebook page as we run competitions frequently and you may be able to win one.
  11. Thanks heaps As you know I do love your work and died a little inside when I decided to not press the checkout button. As you can see in the previous post...if you would like to only pay the actual shipping please place your order using the "Print and Ca;;" feature. We will then email you with the actual cost of shipping and then you can decide. You won't be disappointed in this coin. After numerous molds being broken they have arrived and we are thrilled.
  12. We will be including Metal COin stands to make up the shipping difference on your order.
  13. What Chris is not showing is that the HEAD comes off to reveal the Tag under the arms. So this is actually a 3 piece coin with a matching Proxy Stunt Double
  14. Thanks heaps As you know I do love your work and died a little inside when I decided to not press the checkout button. Regarding the INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING. We have had to base the web store shipping costs on the heaviest bulky item which is the Mighty Mega. What we do is ask that anyone ordering coins or any item hit the Print and Call. We will receive an email and will weigh and send you the exact amount of the shipping cost. WE DO NOT Charge more than actual USPS costs. IF you pay in advance on the web store we add FREE PRODUCTS to make up the difference you over paid. Customs value is $20 as a rule and we will be happy to answer any emails regarding the shipping. Our GxPROXY.EU will have the coins as soon as we can ship some to John and will save you shipping costs as well.
  15. No, no, no!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND SENDING OUT BOTH PROXIES AT ONCE (unless paired together in strong fashion - steel cable, super-glued, etc.)!!! I said you have twice as many chances to keep your mission alive. ie: If you send out one proxy die and it goes missing, you can then always send out the other if the first has been missing a significant amount of time or been confirmed lost or destroyed in a way that it is unretrievable. Coin pairs with identical tracking codes have been around for a very long time. I have a Tools of the Trade coin pair that was produced back in 2004 or earlier so almost 10 years or so at this point. I have been told it was not the first to be produced this way, but I can not confirm that. I do have a few others made in pairs from 2005 moving forward as well. Coins are pretty much fancy TravelBugs with custom icons. They're still just travelers. I've seen a number of them attached to solid items for traveling (both TBs and coins) and released a few myself that way. Sometimes a traveling item loses the tag, but the item is so unique that the TB# is put on it and it continues to travel even without the tag. I've seen a LOT of this example. Some never even had the tag attached at all in fact. Coins can be attached to a traveler just like the tags can and achieve identical results. There are even coins with multiple tracking codes on a single coin! I have seen coins (non-trackable) attached to TB tags as well. There are also single hitchhiking items with dozens of trackable codes, coins and tags attached. I've seen a bunch of those, too. There's no one particular way that any traveling code has to be used as long as it complies with Groundspeak guidelines. I'll stick to my guns and say I prefer to see a single coin as the Official Event Coin. I don't want to have to show multiple coins in reference to a single event I enjoyed. It somehow seems to dilute the unique appeal of the genuine article when there's more than one. Call me old fashioned, but that's how I feel. If people (fest sub-committees) or individuals want to make more coins for side-events, invites to the next year's event, etc., that's fine by me. They each have their appeal and I support coins for those other events as well. GxProxy.com will be more than happy to make a Proxy Coin with the number off the dice so that you have an individual coin to send traveling. They are only $3.00 and can be replaced over and over so you do not even have to separate the dices... http://www.shop.gxproxy.com/Ready2Go-GxProxy-Coins-R2G00010.htm My link
  16. Most of the time when you don't see it on the front or back it will be on the edge and is even then sometimes hard to see. Check the inventory for the cache and see if it is listed.
  17. Thank you Avroair, well said. We spent 6 months at GxPROXY dot com to make sure we had a Proxy Disk (coin) that can be used in 2 ways One to replace a missing Geocoin as it belongs to the owner forever and is a "Member" of the family. We also use them for those who would like to make a custom coin but can't afford to make a 100 of them. Since there is no minimum a person can have just one made like the Valedictorian coin made for a new graduate. I agree that one of the best things about Geocaching is being able to play the game in which ever way a person is able. Some are about numbers, others the challenge, others the memories and on and on. I just love to find trackables in the caches such as the days when I first started caching 7 years ago but realize not everyone has a "Parent" teaching them the proper way to handle trackables by moving them and not keeping them. With some having the tracking info on the edge they are even more likely to be kept as it is not clearly written that it is a trackable. Took me over 5 minutes of looking before I realized one coin I found was engraved on the edge. In time new cachers will not even realize there was a time before Proxy Coins.
  18. Thanks to everyone who has ordered their set of coins. This is just a FYI that the inventory is getting really low now so any who wish to have the 2nd coin of THE FOREST Series please check them out. We will have them at COG Spring Fling 9 in Ontario this weekend for those who hate the high postage rates to ship coins to Canada. Let me know if you are not able to attend and I can still get them into the Canadians post before I leave back to the USA.
  19. With this new Chris Mackey designed geocoin, GxProxy.com is highlighting the mysterious Dryads and how closely their duties and love of nature’s treasures closely reflects those of women geocachers. Stories have been told for thousands of years of both the beguiling beauty and mischievous dangers of the Dryads. These reclusive woodland nymphs were the guardians of nature and individually tied to locations of beauty as remarkable as themselves. As always, we’ve provided a matching Proxy traveler in your purchase so you can enjoy this latest addition to your collection and still get a new hitchhiker out traveling! A Full Color Brochure tells the full story of this beautiful work of art dedicated to these woodland guardians as well as showing all the fine details and layers of this beautiful Geocoin! Available at http://www.shop.gxproxy.com/Geocoins-NEW_c16.htm in Shiny Gold, Shiny Silver and Shiny Copper each Geocoin comes with a Brochure with the art enlarged in order to show all the details and layers. The mystery, history and story of this creature discovered in the research is also told by Chris Mackey. These are already selling quickly so check them out and save $5 on a full set while they last.
  20. You can have custom Laser Engraved Colored Aluminum Disks in 1.25 or 1.75 circle or dog tags engraved at GxPROXY.com. There is no minimum and you can have a photograph, trackable etc. Just a FYI in case you decide to try something other than wood.
  21. Yep, we do them at Shop.gxproxy.com ( you can choose the new size) and your local sign shop could also do them for you.
  22. GxPROXY makes one with a qrcode that can be scanned in a parking lot but with the largest decal being 4" x 24" can also be loggeed by a person who see it on the highway. I have been "discovered" on the highway a number of times on the way to and from events.
  23. GxPROXY.com - go into the Marketplace - makes Made in USA trackables and Proxy Stunt Doubles for ALL trackables. You can contact them.
  24. You can get QR style travel bugs from a company called Cache Advance, they are on facebook. They are also a registered seller for Groundspeak. You can also get them from GxPROXY.com they just announced a new "Clocklworks" tag on FB for $4. And they can replaced over and over for a $1.00 Also a Registered seller for Groundspeak.
