  1. WOW- All great grabs for some great cachers... Anthus- you should have been expecting it- How could he resist No need to be jelous any more Dressel Dragons- You Got it! And Marky scored the same-WOOHOO Dorkfish- You absolutley deserve it - It was a great pleasure talking with you at the Mega event, you listened to all I had to say with content. Great chat, I am so pleased with your find- Ill bet you will be excited about this one for awhile now...I can just picture you squealing And Castleman another fine cacher I had the pleasure of meeting-WOW...and in California-Head North GSA...for the sake of me... There I asked Makes me want to go out and place a quickie just for the GSA... I placed one today but it is far from quick. But Im sure he can handle mine... They are not so bad... just off the beaten path a bit.... Maybe "If I place it he will come"...who knows- he travels very well. and he is just south of my neck of the woods!
  2. GOJAY-BEE Holy cow man- Ill bet you got pampered that night. That look will be burned into my head forever...thanks for sharing this, it makes me very greatfull I am not allergic to bees. Ill bet you were miserable!...I cant help but feel sorry. As for the coin - Awesome!...Im sure everyone can relate to this coin, whether it was during caching or not. I would definatley be in! Edited because I dont think you should change a thing- it would be cool with glowing eyes or the eyes and wings
  3. Wait till you do a secret mission... I am only a few trades deep myself, but what fun- It turns a average coin that you may like or look past into a prize that goes right into your trades page, or "special box"- and to get a coin that you wanted - makes it all the better. - Have fun and before long youll be diggin through your specials just to see who you can make happy, just like they are doin for you! Edited:due to too many youlls
  4. I must say Im in the discovery by effort category and mainly by moves. What i did find while I was at Geocoinfest, was all kinds of people writing down lists of the coins they see, and one guy had little buisness cards made with his rare coins and #'s (for discovery only) that he would hand out, with his book right there- I saw alot of people into this, so if it makes them happy and many were obviously enjoying it, then thats their game- Ill bet they got a hole gang of icons, and thats what they want...so people get to share and people get to discover-everyones happy!---I guess its Icon collecting and thats not so bad, puts a whole new swerve into it, I think it would be better if the viewed and moved could be seperated, and im sure the icon collectors would probably agree. I myself couldnt pass up logging Moun10bikes #001- I saw his whole collection and only logged this one coin from the event. Id probably log the V-2 #1 if we were to meet again. ...But these are just my thoughts and Im pretty Nuetral anyway.
  5. My Secret Leprechaun arrived!! and made me quite a happy leprechaun myself- I Got some goodies and am very happy with one in particular. THE JOE 6-PACK COIN-- (Didnt have)It was high on my list and got it from the Joe himself--YES! Jan. Geoswag club (FTF dance w/ pin)- (Didnt have) I didnt become a member till Feb. The Oakcoins-World is our playing field- (Didnt have) Very Nice Blues and Orange And to accompany the Joe 6-pack...The Last cache of the day-overflowing with suds Also was his Pennypacker personal Sigitem Button.....Great Leprachaun indeed, this was my 1st secret mission, I will definatley partake in the next It was really funny when I had my friend grab the mail while I went into the store, he handed me the package with a hole and a baggy hangin out...it was his little joke- Today was his B-day, and we cached and played some Disc golf. and I stashed my 8th cache. Gettin my package today made it all the better...Thanks PennyPacker
  6. Me and the Secret Agent went in Kahoots (Telepathically) today, I was Cydrivers Secret Leprechaun and the GSA was well... the Secret Agent- Somehow we managed to Double Team Cydriver and Im sure that made for good day! - How cool! -----Congrats Cydriver!.....Im sure you deserve it!
  7. Glad you liked your package-it was fun researching and putting it together- Im glad you didnt have the coins-This was my first secret mission- Sounds like I was agood Leprechaun- Just a little early
  8. I'd be happy for anything! (My previous geocupid sent me a coin and by chance was the first to pick it up out of a cache after I'd released it over 100 miles from either of our homes.) That is cool! its always funny how things work...for the Odds- They seem to happen quite often.
  9. Mission recieved and sent off today- I checked their list and had most of what I was planning on sending, I picked some coins they didnt list and included a few bonuses. I will be happy to recieve anything I get- I just made a want list on my profile- I have many of the later 06 and 07GCC and other commercial coins that have been avail. recently- so any personal or oddball coin will do- I will be happy just gettin to see whats inside!----This is fun!
  10. I found a bowling ball in a creek a few turns from a cache- I thought about making it a TB, but it was only a funny thought.----I did take it and I do have some extra Tags...so maybe youll see another post by me soon
  11. I have replaced a TB that was Bug Knapped and torched - It belonged to our belated Bikedog, it was his only TB and I found the exact Bug item and sanded the #'s off a new TB tag (it must be the Version 2 tags that are etched and I used a Roloc wheel-its a light sander) But I used the reference # when I stamped it in with # stamps- I was new too- I have a new one in the works now- I studied the only 2 pics of the Bug and pretty much guessed the last 3 #'s as for I could not see them, but I got it. The tag is covered till it reaches its destination to be released-then ill have to send this new tag. You must use the # that was on the tag otherwise people will not be able to log it by just the reference #. So check out the pics in the gallery and see if you can see it or actually I think the # will be next to it in your inventory if it is logged to you. It will probably be easier if you do go get a tag made- I contacted Groundspeak on a blank tag and then the tracking #- they could not help me with either. And the tools I used you would have to buy- but I already had them. really its just the metal stamps and some sort of way to remove the etched #'s- I chose to do this so it would look like Bikedogs Original. If you cannot contact them I would use any tag- they probably dropped out of the game if they havent responded for awhile----Check their profile and see when they were last active, but dont stress on it...At least you didnt loose a WHITE JEEP...GULP...Yep- I did, and Im doin the same for it...Just cant seem to find the right size jeep, I ordered a 1:27 but its still too big. This is the 1st I spoke of this and I felt so bad-I drove over 75 miles to look for it and not to be found. ----There - Ive confesed my sins I feel better now Hope this helps
  12. Looked through all my trades and its not with me- I hope it turns up!
  13. Email sent- This is my 1st coin exchange---
  14. I will check mine tonight- I believe we traded coin for coin in person, and certainly think I would have noticed a #1 coin... But Ill certainly check-Good Luck
  15. I made 4 coins for Geocoinfest and handed them all out before I took pics of them. I used a shiny Mardigras coin, then i masked it with Auto grade masking tape. Drew out a design, cut it out with an exacto knife, primered the coin, painted the coin, then I removed the masking tape leaving the image I cut out and put a epoxy resin coating over the top. I then repeated this for the other side after it cured. It was a long process but they turned out well I thought. I think Im gonna make some more for FTF prizes
  16. Well it looks like im the 1st to chime in- The event was great, it didnt take me too long to figure out that I MUST GET A COIN MADE All those cool coins and all I needed was my own. Everyone was so nice and I did get a pile of coins. I got to meet Moun10Bike and chatted for just a few minutes...And I got to view the very 1st Moun10Bike coin-VERY COOL. Everyone smiled and were so easy to talk to just like good friends. The raffle went on and on with lots of lucky folks and all the freebies were great(I GOT A ROCK!), I forgot who won the jar, but she was practically shakin. I handmade 5 coins just for this and people really liked them- the only problem was I didnt take any pics of them and handed them out before I realized it-I saw one on the guys trading table . I made a special one for Cornerstone4 for all his hard work and i think he liked it. I also went for one of his caches and ended up with a DNF . later I found out that I did find it-just didnt know it was there...Lets just say i took the lid off-does that count?-Ha I didnt think I would get lucky, but despite my lack of prereg. I still got a goody bag at the end, they had about 5 and I managed to be there at the right time. This was my 1st event and I drove about 600 Mi in my 82 Jetta Diesel, It took me all over the hills of Bikedogs stomping grounds and beyond- I absolutely loved it- I could see all of San Diego. Im sittin outside of the Ramada using their wireless and gonna find some more for tomorrow before the Mega Event. For my 1st events i sure did choose some duzys-EH? For those of you that missed out-Wish you could have been there and for those who couldnt come due to the weather- , what a bummer...and I thought my trip down was horrible-It really was, the gods were oddly against my favor in every way possible-but thats a whole other story. Hope you get a little idea of how a few things went, but to sum it up---It was great- a room full of Geocoin Junkeys gettin the fix of a lifetime! Edited - It looks like a few have posted since I read the page-Hey Im a slow typer
  17. Does anyone know if there will be something like a Pre-Register waiting list, for those of us who decided long ago that it wouldnt be possible for us to go, and then 1 week before the event decide that there is no way to pass this up? I went to pre reg last week and it was to late. I would really like to get in on the Pre Reg if I could...will there be a waiting list?- I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE JUST REGISTERED! I hope all who are in the midst of the bad weather make it safely- I just got to drive my 82 Diesel jetta from Nor Cal and hope I make it!- Just put in a new Axle yesterday and a new starter today- A few more things and Im ready!- This will be my very 1st Event cache ever, and hope I get a chance to get the event coin.
  18. I got an old mini Jack and the beanstalk book- it was about 1" and had the story and pictures. I also got a wrench magnet that said "I cant wrench myself away from you".....And all the Signature items- I love em!
  19. LOL Thats what I was just going to ask about. With all this hoopla we really have no proof that it even happened. The owner of the cache has only one hide and and no finds but yet he/she registered on July 06, 2006. Somethings not clicking here. sock puppet acct. , I saw that as soon as the original post was made. Mmmm, the rum n cokes are going great with the popcorn tonite. I DECLARE SHENANNIGANS Wheres officer Brady Sorry-its a South Park thing and I couldnt resist- But I did email the guy- lets see if he responds
  20. I like anything out of the ordinary, I got a mini Jack and the Beanstock book with pics- it was only 1.5 inches and very old. Compasses and glowsticks are cool. Anything hand made - I got a silly little ball maze, but on the back was writin by a little kid, the Date placed and the cache name and his name-I liked it! Old keychains, pins or magnets are neat to see too. I also like signature items, foreign coins and money or anything that may be a souvinier from a place (like G.G. Bridge smashed penny or coin purse or somethin). Ive got a Vintage electric shaver and a horseshoe in one of my caches.
  21. Just think about it- It was his 1st cache, It was a pipe with 2 caps to hold the log, I dont see a wick or a detinating device- The logs prior to the incident stated it looked like a bomb- Its hanging in a tree at the Cache coordinates by a coat hanger. I think there was a little over reaction here- I think it could have been resolved with contact with the owner- Think how he feels- He has just placed his 1st cache- (I know- despite him finding any) and now he's goin down for Bomb threats or terrorist activity- Do you think it was meant to mock a bomb? or a spern of the moment dash to find any container and place his 1st cache so people could find it-he didnt even seal it. These are just my thoughts on it- I kinda feel sorry for the guy.
  22. When they get off the back burner- I want one ! But I think you should leave the state symbol-I Like It! Maybe do the writing in black so its easier too read or at least on the gold. I like the sun, but am fond of the compass sign- I know there is a lot of compass coins, but it looks good and fits the occasion. Maybe instead of "Micro geocoin" you could call it the Cali Micro geocoin, or the Micro Cali coin. Just some thoughts, but I do like the state symbol on there. - Hope this helps
  23. Well I just started caching in November 06- To date ive got 7 hides and 47 finds , Ive got mostly all the local caches and look for caches wherever I go. I have to venture from here for more finds, My last find was 2 days ago along with my last hide- (Which was found this morning ).... BUT Since my intro to geocoins, Ive went a little nuts, my last count on my geocoins was a wapping 213 Ive added about 20 since then, so you can say im a little bit OBSESSED with both. I really like thinking on my next cache, and the whole Bikedog Memorial cache that I was workin on really got me goin, also iffy isolated caches that are claimed DNF's with no finds for 2+ years have got me lookin forward to many adventures. All though im always thinkin of cool coin ideas and fondling my coins- The coins are not what keep me up at night---Its the caches!
  24. I got 2 of the 5 packs - I will definatley try to work somethin out with someone- Thats only 3- 5 packs so far that got listed here, so unless they only had a very few of the 5 packs- they all got grabbed and nobody cared to brag. But with only 1 post saying they got a 5 pack that leaves me wonderin how many they had or did someone swipe em all- Gees it was only a couple of hours. The only reason I got the 5er was the glow but I will fork one of them over if there is a way---------------If any one else is willing who got a little too excited, I know at least 2 so far that would appreciate it edited cause-OOPS there are 3 that would love some love
  25. AH-MAN- Im a Dough-head- It is the coin that is posted in the above threads- Boy I didnt know that it was only a intro thing. Sorry for any false hope, But- It really doesnt hurt to ask them, they have the means- Maybe you could sweet talk them a little.
