  1. Is this kind of artwork going to be good enough or do we 'real' artwork? I think I'll increase my quantity to 50.
  2. Thanks for the chuckle... I'm in for a few of the Geocide coins (seriously) AND the Forum Ghost coin.
  3. Been kinda lazy on the posting here lately, but here goes: A couple of Tuit's - nice A bunch of Geo 40's from trades, still waiting on a few more. Team Alamo's 1-2, both finishes Ham coins - I gotta have those Pirate coin Geocachingdragon N.U.T.S. A couple of Jailbreaks Kootenay Pirates 2 sets of Pink Scout Knives 2 Alberta Wild Roses Crakes Roses GPS Interactive Red Cross Great Smoky Mountain National Park All In One coin with my name engraved on it... forgot I even ordered this one! I'm sure I've left something out.
  4. I received my Secret Leprechaun package today and it was a pretty full load. I got: 1. Alberta Rose coin, on my wish list. 2. Team Alamo 1-2 coin, on my wish list. 3. Free Die Side coin. 4. A GeoSmurfz trackable sig item. 5. SeabeckTribe sig item. 6. Slowdownracer sig item. All very cool items. Thank you very much Secret Leprechaun for all the goodies!!!!
  5. Trade made. Looking to trade a Pink Scout Knife for a Red Scout knife, similar finishes.
  6. I think this looks even better than the first version. If you're gonna throw on that last line, you might want to make it say, "Tag, You're It!".
  7. I'm looking for any of the GeocoinFest Poker Challenge Marker coins. Trade lists in sig line.
  8. I still have 2 of the 'Free Die Side' coins if anybody is interested.
  9. I'd like to get in also, hopefully it's not too late, I've been away all weekend.
  10. Many thanks to all for the kind comments. The USA / ROW despatching should be under way now. Obviously, it's going to be a little while before they start arriving at the more far-flung outposts (such as the U.S. ). Note to those who've received their coins today: if you're trying to get the activation code using the coin's web page: sorry, but I won't get chance to update it for a few hours and until then it won't work... Note to those who haven't paid yet: I'll send you a reminder e-mail next week: not to hurry you, but just to make sure you know that I haven't received your payment (in case you thought you'd sent it). HH If there's a waiting list or something similar, I'd like to be on it.
  11. The GSA travels through California again. I actually clocked out in the middle of the day to go grab this coin before it was too late. It's been fun reading this thread, following the GSA and crossing my fingers. Didn't really expect to find one though. I am so jazzed... Here's the log. Here's the proof: Here's the GSA coin next to the Joe coin I left behind Thanks GSA, this was very special.
  12. Caught an episode of How It's Made last week regarding Lapel Pins. Since most of the minters appear to make pins also, I assumed the coin making process must be similar. The finished product was pretty much a coin, with a post sticking out of the back. Perhaps one of the minters/brokers can jump in and verify if the process is similar. Either way, it was a very interesting episode that coin collectors might want to catch. How It's Made - Lapel Pins
  13. I have an extra Pink Scout Knife set coming and would like to trade it for a Red Scout knife set. I also have one of the FREE Die coins from Oakcoins that I'll trade for one of the finished products that comes from it.
  14. Very interesting thread... both sides seem to have legitimate points, although one side has seemingly been temporarily squelched. What I don't get is... I thought the cache description page was a description of the cache's location according to the one person that knows the most about the cache's location? All of the info on the page is either history, fluff, filler, hints (whether in the hint 'section' or not), DIVERSION, entertainment, etc. The entire point of the cache page is to reveal a certain amount of unknown information to the cache-seeker. The amount of information revealed is the discretion of the cache-hider, NOT any particular cache-type seeker. If the cache-hider decides that a certain attribute will add to whatever scheme he had in mind for revealing, informing, or even confusing the cache-seeker, what right does another cache-seeker have for spoiling the original intent? Why not just have a designated person (the cache reviewer ) visit every cache and leave a detailed log of where every cache can be found, despite what the cache-hider may have intended in his cache description page? What... an attribute might get the attention of a cache-seeker that looks for a particular type of cache and then finds that even HE may have been deceived by a portion of the cache location page (the attribute area) that he deemed as gospel... no deception allowed there? I may have missed the 'no b.s. here' warning in the attribute description area. Don't like the way a cache-hider operates... use the ignore feature. Not every cache-seeker is gonna want to have every part of the cache page sanitized... not even the scuba guys... some cachers enjoy the aspects of the game that are not so visible. Let them decide. In my opinion, the entire cache page (except the coordinates and map - and sometimes even those) is part of the game. I'm sure you've noticed that even the 'by line' under the cache title can be manipulated. The only reason for the cache description page is to make up for the error we get from our GPS receivers. Unfortunately, some see the attributes as hard and fast 'facts' on the cache page... I don't. I've been to hundreds of caches that have the 'snake' attribute... but I've never seen one while caching. If I'm a snake freak (no offense intended) should I be upset if I didn't see one, even if I was prepared for it? Should I start a 'Not really any snakes here' bookmark? I've seen many caches with the '24 hour' attribute, never thought about actually verifying it though. My favorite types of caches are the ones hidden in the SoCal desert where an off road vehicle is required. I wouldn't even consider attempting these caches on foot. Just because a cache might have the 'off road' attribute (which gets my attention), I certainly would not pack up the quads and attempt to find it. There are many areas in the SoCal deserts where I can be tooling along a wash, looking for a cache, and BLAM, I get a sign telling me that my quad is no longer welcome in this wash, I need a street legal vehicle to continue. Huh... in this sandy, then rocky, then narrow wash? It would be nice if the cache description warned me about the street legal thing, and some do, but I never thought about making a bookmark and adding it to SOMEONE ELSE'S cache page to 'fix' his cache description. To avoid this I have to do my homework and identify where I'm going to be able to go. I've never even thought about lobbying for a 'green sticker vehicle' attribute and then policing its use. To the OP, don't get me wrong, I understand your point, but I think a little due diligence is all that's needed, not a bookmark that is gonna screw-up the formating on MY (I do understand the limitations of MY in regards to ownership on someone else's website) cache page that I may have spent hours on only to have it thrown out of whack because of some extra bookmark 'info' that I never anticipated. This goes for the entire bookmark system, the FTF bookmarks included (which I find EXTREMELY annoying). I'd be all for a cache-owners option to display the bookmarks or not. Like others stated before me, I have NEVER searched for a particular attribute before caching, but I can see why someone would. My only caveat would be that the cache-seeker keep in mind that this is primarily a game of deception... the caches are called 'hides', usually 'camoed', for a reason. To me the deception starts at the top of the cache page and often times includes the logs, when the cache-finders play along. We're all in on it.
  15. 1. Participating 2. Received Name Packaged up and ready to go.
  16. It worked just fine when I clicked on it.
  17. I personally like the May Day thing because May is my last name. I remember in school we had those celebrations (never knew why, really) where kids would circle around a May Pole with ribbons and stuff and kinda weave a pattern down the pole as they went around the outside in opposite directions. Naturally, I got teased because my last name was the same as the 'holiday', but I looked at it like the day was named after me!
  18. Received my coins this morning. All previous trades and purchases will go out today or tomorrow. I still have about 15 left for trading (any kind of trade, Geo 40 or not) if anyone is interested. Thanks Allie!!!!
  19. I'd like to trade for one. My trading lists are below.
