So many comments I could make but must resist...

Very cool On a different tack to you previous coins but I really like it

Hey 007BigD, Those e-mails are playing up again (keep on bouncin' back). Anyway hope you see this here, Got you parcel today, thanks heaps! there is some awesome stuff in there, I know the kids will be stoaked with their gifts too (It's Thomas' birthday next Thursday (our time). Hope to chat again soon if this e-mail problem comes right. Sorry everyone, back to the business of giving away coins

Ummmm... Sorry...

Congrats to all the winners so far Just so you have an idea of how much longer to go, the first box of my coins minted took just 4 days to arrive from Castleman! Here is some info on the Chatham Island Black Robin which was the bird to win the bonus coin

This sounds like it is going to be HUGE compared to events down here, don't even think we would have this sort of number of cachers in the whole country My guess = 777

There is still 2 coins to go; The XLE (random Draw) The Satin Silver (Last person to post before I post saying I have the coins in hand) Hey Ble68, better e-mail me your address so I can get the coin sent out after the comp. finishes

Yep!

Very interesting... Yes it has just been said twice. Congrats to Ble68 (covered all bases then realised exactly which one ) With the help of GSV I will just have to count the coins and flick you both one Correct answer "Black Robin" aka Chatham Island Robin

The bird is only found on the Island he was born on. In 1984 there was only 1 known breeding pair left.

Here's one dining out on his favorite dish... Car rubber

Here is my favorite Native bird, The KEA

Yep, It's in there. But you fogot to name it!

Thank you for that - this really has been one of the most educational threads in this forum! No problem, if ya gona' do it, do it right!

How To Prepare A Kiwi

Very cool Love the googly eyes

Beaut coin I guess 70 & 35

But a fine example none the less!

Questions: Has this bird been posted in this thread yet and is it a native New Zealand bird? Am I asking questions you'd rather not answer at this time? I gotta get to bed right now anyway. I'm stuffed. CF30 Perhaps but the bonus coin is from.... now...

WOOHOO! ! ! Winner number 2! And yes you were right, it was the number of cache finds I have There will be a Satin Gold Chelmo heading your way real soon, I hope you like it. Now for the BONUS Question for another Chelmo coin... I have a picture hanging in my hallway, originally I gave it to my Grandfateher as it holds a special significance to him. When he passed away my grandmother gave it back to me for safe keeping. Your mission should you choose to accept it. "Post a picture of the same bird" and include it's common name. I will check back after I have had my Roast Lamb for tea and see how you guys are getting on. Good Luck (The first correct poster will win the coin) Sorry keewee, you are excluded from this one since your Grandfather is mine.

No problem - take one male and one female and let them . . . Oh, that wasn't what you meant

There are some nice recipies coming out too. Anyone keen to try a hungi

Very good. And the bonus question coming up in about 4 hours relates to native birds
