[4th International Math Trade]

Whoo Hoo!!!

 

My first coin has arrived! I don't know what kind of super fast nuclear teleportation mailing system Mauison uses, but he gets the coins to you FAST! My ICache V2 coin from Mauison was in my mailbox today when I got home. Here's a pic...

 

 

Thanks for the great coin, Mauison.

If anyone is reeeaaaally that interested in the loops, I can email you the raw data.

 

I am reeeaaaally interested! I would love to see the raw data.

Thanks for setting up the trade and running it. Everything worked great for me!

Plenty of time was given for people to put together their want lists. I'm worried that if they didn't find the time to submit their want lists, or even send a quick email explaining their situation, that they might also have trouble finding the time to pack up their coins and ship them to the trade recipients.

(and I stayed away from variables as that was just doing my head in )

 

I took the opposite approach and used variables for everything, including single coins, to make my want list easier for me to read and check. I'm still worried about it and hope I didn't make any big mistakes, but I've sent in my want list.

It appears that I accidentally put "The Cache Ace" on twice. I have only one & they are all the same so even if I had two I couldn't list 'em both. Can you fix that? Thanks!

If removing one of the Cache Ace coins would cause renumbering problems you could always just not list any "wanted" trade coins for one of your Cache Ace coins. That way, one of them would definately not be traded and it would be the same as if that coin was removed from the spreadsheet. Just a suggestion....

Thanks for posting the pictures of your coins Jackalgirl. You're offering some really nice coins, but until you posted the pictures I didn't know what some of them were. Looks like I'll be expanding my want list.

[The Devil Made Me Do It Mystery Coin]

After spliting up from ModelCitizen and the Cache Run after the event . I Spent the night with some fellow cachers and the next morning we went out on a cache run close to their house and the second cache I went to and I opened that ammo box lid and it was shining up from on top of the log book ! I was totally surprised after seeing ModelCitizens coin the day before ! I do not know who you are but I thank you very much . it will always be in my collection !!

 

Way to go, WoodDuck! I'm so glad you got one. I was actually thinking about sending you the one I found. You know I was just kidding about the trouble we had at the Mo Zelle cache. Now that you have one, mine will just go into a random cache for someone else to find and enjoy.

[The Devil Made Me Do It Mystery Coin]

So, I'll bite... want to sell it?

 

Sorry, but I wouldn't dream of profiting by selling this coin that didn't cost me anything and was put out by some unknown, generous cacher, regardless what the enclosed card says. I'll just enjoy it for a little while then place it in a cache somewhere without logging that it is in there, just like the mystery person did. On my group's cache run we actually found two of these coins in local caches, so it looks like there will be quite a few of them out there. Hopefully you can find one, trade for one, or buy one.

Thanks for the great coin photos, E&Cplus3.

 

Yesterday I was out on an all-day caching run with a large group before an event and found a new mystery geocoin in a local cache with the phrase "The Devil Made Me Do It" and a devil's face on the front, and an ebay logo and several excuses on the back. The card enclosed with the coin calls the coin "The Geocoin Devil" and says the finder can keep it, trade it, sell it, or do with as you like.

 

I took a good picture of the front and back of the coin and now plan to turn it loose again for someone else to enjoy. It's a really large, thick, heavy coin with bright colors and glitter. Great looking coin!

 

Blue skies and happy caching!

I've searched the geocoin forum extensively for information about this coin but haven't found anything posted here. Has anyone heard of this coin before?

Great photos of great coins, Tadpole! I'll have to go in and look at all of them when I have some more time. As for now, I'm on a roll! I've got another geocoin photographed and ready to head out traveling in the geoworld. Be looking for my geocoins in a cache in your area. I'm trying to spread them around pretty well. As always, I'll be releasing the actual, original geocoins.

 

Here's my United We Cache geocoin...

And the silver...

 

[Post your geocoin photos here]

It's been a while, but I'm getting ready to send a couple more geocoins out to travel. This time it is a bronze and a silver Astrolabe geocoin by CRake.

 

The Astrolabe geocoin holds the distinction of being the first geocoin in orbit, since one of them flew with Dr. Stan Love on shuttle mission STS-122. My two Astrolabe geocoins haven't gone any higher than 15,000 feet. That was when I took them skydiving with me.

[Geocoins - Do many go MIA?]

If you'd like, I would be happy to send a coin out for my Todie's Wild Ride cointest. You can name it (with the Todie's Wild Ride prefix of course) and give it a secondary mission (main mission to be raising bike awareness). I'll activate and adopt the coin to you then release it when you have it ready!

 

Thanks so much for the kind offer! That's really VERY nice of you. However, I have so many coins traveling and a huge backlog of coins I plan on sending out to travel, perhaps it would be better to adopt the coins out to someone else that doesn't have a lot of coins or is just getting started in the hobby. Thanks again for the offer though!

 

Blue skies and happy caching!

I've seen this done before, but it's still merely a copy in a coin's "clothing". It's almost like a museum putting the real artwork in a safe while displaying a rendition...no matter how good the rendition is, it's not the real thing!

 

It's your coin, you can choose as you please!

 

I know you said "It's almost like a museum putting the real artwork in a safe while displaying a rendition", but just to be clear, I'm not putting the real artwork in a safe.

I sent the actual, real "artwork" out to travel. It hardly traveled at all before going missing for over a year.

 

So far, none of my original coins that went missing for a year have turned up again. Some have been missing for over two years.
