DamhuisClan

I will get my wife to buy me some clay. Then I will start moulding a few sizes, and see what size the coins should be. Gauteng will be a micro coin, but we must make sure that Limpopo, oe Western Cape is not to big. Please add suggestions what you would like to see on the coins!!!

I can do that, but lets wait one week into August, so we get all the logs in for July.

Ill venture a guess with Italy.

Wow. That is a cool makro. I quickly came to read the forums, before a do some work, and its now an hour later.

A few people getting over the SWC hangover this morning: DamhuisClan, Wormgeocash, iNokia, Team Ginger, MnCo, Chrisbloem

I just got an email from my aunt, where they say the whole train schedule will be altered in the Netherlands to allow people to take trains to Amsterdam, to welcome their heroes on Tuesday morning. Way to go Oranje Supporters!

Yea. Last night was the final of the race. (Except for the TBs to make it to the finishing line/event)

If we may make the assumption that this is answered at 10H30 tonight (Sunday) The answer would be "Netherlands"! Hup Hup Holland!

Now that was an interesting one. ELO was first used for Chess (link) and then later adapted to other sports, where soccer is one of them (link)

Another thought on Wazat's idea, of the Free State. Mielies, and the cheetah. The enamel could be yellow, to denote the mielies, and then have a picture of the cheetah on it. Then two (or more) things could be denoted.

My first thought of symbols on the coins were much the same as Wasats. By I think we should maybe try and think along the lines of "geocaching" if that is possible? Then JHB might be micros? Durban puzzles, or hard to find caches? Not sure what symbols those would relate to. Let the creative juices flow....

I am interested in joining this venture. I think / speculate we would need 8 to 16 people to be interested in getting the first coin started, and hopefully use the income of the first set of coins to create the second set etc. Who else is interested in contributing financially? What would you, as a South African geocacher, like to see on each provinces coin?

Hi Gerhard Thanks for trying to get a few more 4x4s so we can come along. Much appreciated. I tried one of my 4x4 friends, but he said he has been there recently, and does not feel like doing it again. Pity. If it happens that we need to travel down in our car to the Underburg area, we have 5 seats open for others (We have 7 seater VW Sharan). We are thinking of leaving Friday afternoon, and sleep over at a B&B for Friday night, and then be fresh and ready Saturday morning. I also enquired from the 4x4 tour operator in the area, how much it would cost for a trip up the mountain, and a trip back down the next morning. At R800.00 I thought that was a little steep. Looking forward to see how this all works out. As a matter of interest, which non 4x4 cachers are interested? I know of: DamhuisClan: 2 Adults, and BruceTP : 1 Adult.

Hi Bruce. Looks like your message did not post. But I am in!

Jan Smuts? Where is that? What is that?

Has the event been published yet? Not all people reed the forums, so you would maybe get even more people that way. Edited to add: OK I see now it is published as: http://coord.info/GC2B8Y8

Sjoe, het was een goede game. "De Kaap was weer Hollands" gister avond. (Dit is een Afrikaans gezegde) Zondag is de final. Ik hoop dit is Nederland se jaar om het te winnen.

Oooh. What score would I predict? Tonight Holland 2-1 (1 - 0 to Holland at half time) When (or if) they play Germany, I think it will be as follows: (my heart says) 1-0 Holland (My head says) 2-1 Germany Nope not ruining the friendship. It is just a game... just like geocaching, and everyone has an opionion (Some stronger then others)

Wat denken jullie? Gaat Nederland de finale halen? Ik hoop het. Ik ben de enigste Nederlander op werk, en hebt elke dag wat Nederland speelt mijn Oranje jasje aan gedaan naar werk! Het zal reuze leuk zijn as Nederland wint! Hup! Hup! Holland!

3 Caches were archived in the last week: 1) Die Wynhuis - GC1ZD8M 2) Die Kaap is weer Hollands - GC20V8X 3) Come Josephine in your flying machine - GC22MEQ I think the week before there was 4.

Obviously I am rooting for Holland. But I think the Germans have a better chance of winning because of their younger team. If Holland gets through tonight, it is going to be a very tense final for me. Hup! Hup! Holland!!

DamhuisClan (and most likely Wildbirds) will be there as well. We hope to make a potjie with Wildbirds. (Just to clarify the above statement, "Wilbirds" in this case is not the ingredients)
