  2. That is why I decided to sell some of my new coins on ebay, bedore everyone else got them and started selling them on ebay. Windrose
  3. This FAQ should answer all of your questions. Welcome to the obsession. Windrose
  4. I'd like to trade also, sending email. Windrose
  5. I'll go in on a 3rd with you! I'll go in on a 3rd with you also. Windrose
  6. That's great. Congratulations everyone. Windrose
  7. The XXLE was Numbered 001 so that they could be sold as a set ...UH Yeh...a set I figured the GSA could have 2 #196's...so he can do it, but I cant? Its the back! Cause Im a Fraud! all my coins will be 001 to make everyone feel special! You can choose any of the 4 reasons I listed- whatever best fits the occasion in your book! I like answer #1 (sold as a set) -- yeah that's it. Excellent idea for a coin. I missed the pre-order but sure hope I can get in on your 2008 version. Windrose P.S. please put me on the wait list if you have one.

    Design Cost

    Some charge a set price, some do it for a few coins made from their design. Some do it for free (as part of making your coin). Check the pinned topics at the top of the forum. You will find the answers to all of your "getting my own coin made" questions there. Windrose
  9. Hey - How come both coins have the same serial number? Are they all numbered 001? Windrose
  10. Thanks, I always bring a book to read when we're at McD's (but we usually don't stay 4 hours either). I left the coin locked in the car - for fear that I might loose it again . Windrose
  11. Thanks, I should have them in another week or two. Windrose
  12. I did !!. And kept checking my pocket the whole time to make sure it was still there, too. Windrose
  13. Well the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and all is right with the world. In other words we found the coin!! Boy was that a weight off my mind (and Angel was eggstatic ). We all searched the trail back to the cache. Scuffing up the leaves and poking around in the muddy puddles with no luck. When we got to where the logs were (about 20 feet off the trail) we spent a long time searching the area. I even made Angel help me move the logs so we could see if it had fallen down in them. We ended up spending about an hour and a half searching, and finally found it partially buried under some leaves between the trail and the pile of logs. Everyone was so glad when we found it. I think they were even happier than when they found it the first time. Then we had to go eat at Micky D's and play for several hours. You see I bribed them when we left to look for the coin by telling them that if they looked until we found it (or I was ready to give up ) , I would take them to McD's for lunch and let them play (stay) as long as they wanted to, whether we found the coin or not -- the key phrase being "until I was ready to give up" -- which wasn't going to happen until dark . Boy did they milk that for all it was worth, we were at McD's for over 4 hours. But it was worth it. I want to thank everyone for the good luck wishes, and everyone who offered to send the kids a coin, especially glennk721 -- it was such a nice gesture. and was very much appreciated. I always knew this group was a great bunch of people, and you keep proving it over and over. Thanks again everyone. Windrose
  14. Yes she's done that too (lost the swag on the way back to the car). In fact, they've all done that a time or two. Hopefully this will be a lession for all of the Bug Crew (and me) to be alittle more careful. Windrose
  15. I'll have to ask around to see if anyone I know locally has a metal detector. Thanks for the offer of sending yours, but I don't think it'll come to that. Windrose
  16. That's worth a try too. The trail has a couple of very muddy, boggy spots (not to mention the creek we had to jump to get to the cache) and the way things go - it's probably buried under the mud or in the creek. I do have one more place to look ( the pile of logs). Windrose
  17. Yes, we checked all of her pockets, and I even had her take off her shoes (in case it had dropped on the side & she didn't notice). Windrose
  18. Yes she was pretty upset about it, but I told her it's o.k. It was an accident, and that these things happen. And mostly it was my fault because I should have held onto the coin until we got back to the car. Yes, I agree, Glennk721 is a very nice guy, and it's really nice that he's willing to do that for the kids, but I hate to think of him giving up his Egg coin. we're heading out in a few minutes to look for it. I've been thinking about it and I remember Angel and Noah climbing all over a big pile of logs while I was still signing the logbook. I didn't think of it yesterday, but we're going to check there, maybe it fell down into the pile while they were climbing. Windrose
  19. Thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't feel right taking another coin. We had our chance at one (and even got to hold it for awhile). Maybe we'll find it tomorrow. Windrose
  20. Now that's an idea. I wish I had one. It's a quarter mile from where we parked to the cache, so that's alot of looking. I don't think we'll find it, but I want to give it one more try. It probably fell in the creek we jumped over or is at the bottom of one of the boggy, muddy spots. Well at least we found one and had it for a little while. ((But it'll be a long time before the kids get to carry ANYTHING. Windrose
  21. Well to paraphrase Dickens – it was the best of days, it was the worst of days. The best of days because we found an Easter Egg Geocoin (yea!!). The worst of days because of how it ended. The Bug Crew and I were all gathered around the computer, deciding where we’re going to go “treasure hunting” tomorrow, when my email dings, and I see that the Easter Geocoin Bunny has logged a nearby cache. We had been planning on finding this cache soon, but the description of very muddy trails had been putting us off. Here’s my log (you’ll soon see why it was the worst of days). ----------------------------- We’ve been planning on finding this cache soon and were just waiting for the trails to dry up a little, but when I saw the log that the Easter Geocoin Bunny had been there I decided there was no time like the present. So into the car and off to the cache we go. No other cars were there when we arrived and I thought , wow, this is great. We might actually get the coin. What an adventure, I hardly know where to begin. The trails were O.K. except for two bad spots (very muddy and boggy). Everyone got wet feet and Pupcake the geo-dog had to be carried over them. Then everyone needed help going that last 10 feet, but we found the cache. Nice hide. Opened it up and – THERE IT WAS – an Easter Geocoin !!! The kids were so excited. They absolutely loved the coin. I left one of my dream catcher coins, and (since the cache was alittle empty) I also left a small puzzle, a carabineer, and a bracelet. Put the cache back where it belonged, covered it up and headed back down the trail. Now for the sad news, I let Angel (Miss Grasshopper) hold onto the coin on the way back to the cache. BIG MISTAKE. She’s eleven so I thought she’d be o.k. with it. But – we get to the car and no coin. Just great. So we go back to the cache checking the ground every step of the way, no coin. Check the area around the cache, check inside the cache (just in case), no coin. By now the kids are pretty upset (and I’m not very happy myself), back to the car again, checking the ground all the way, still no coin. By now it’s getting pretty dark so we just headed home. So there’s an Easter Egg coin out there on the trail somewhere, but I imagine the coin is down in the mud or the creek we jumped. It was a really nice coin, and at least we got some pics of it before it was lost. I think we’ll go back tomorrow and look for it some more. ----------------------------- So tomorrow, instead of going caching, we're going back and try one more time to find the coin. It's probably buried deep in the mud and a hundred years from now, an archeologist will find it and say "What the heck is this and what's it doing here?" I'm still upset about it, but it's my own fault. I should have taken it away from her until we got back to the car. Here's the whole Bug Crew on the way to the cache. Here's a pic of Cricket, Spider Boy, and June Bug with the coin (oh and Pupcake the geodog). Windrose
  22. If it is fishy -- it'll really be smelling by the 1st . Windrose
