    The Carpe Diem Mystery Coin

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I love surprises, I love mysteries and I love this coin. A wonderful gold bubble arrived in my mailbox. While crossing my fingers, I opened it to find coin #59. This is a great coin. THANK YOU SO MUCH

     

    Live every day to it's fullest.

    arnt they great :( ...surprizes :D ...and this coin :unsure:

    :tired: congrats David my friend!!!! :blink: It is a pretty coin for sure!!! ;)

     

    Can I ask some things about the photos?? that is in the first photo? A padlock? It is pretty!

     

    The second photo... Wooden grave stone??? It looks old but I can not see dates on it...

     

    something like a pipe is there coming out of the gound??

     

    I am wondering if it is a broken shovel or.. someone is trying to breath under it! :o

    LOL...if there was someone under that pipe, well...THEY SHOULDNT BE! :( lol

    The 1st pic was a bell, the site had chains surrounding it with these bells on it, also had marble cornerstones. This part of the cemetary is really old and yep, that is a wooden headstone, although I couldnt make the year on it.... neat place and there is a cache there that I havent found yet. We're actually headed there now :D

     

    Hope The Amigos and mrls1996 meet their fate with the reaper... for the sake of the Bell witch if nothing else! :unsure:

    I GOT SLASHED!!!! [:D] What was meant to be a slashing for a lack of caching turned into a prize to light up up my eyes...THE CACHE REAPER WAS MINE! [:)]

     

    Met up with the Cache Reaper at the stroke of noon, to duck and weave the slashes and what was left behind for me was this great prize!

    YEEEEEEEEEOW Holy Smokus!!!!!! I had only heard talk of the mysterious Gold Mailer goin around after Dorkfish got word from here Mamma...but it was untill I approached the PO box after a lengthy 4 days of unchecked mail when BAM...GOLD MAILER sittin in there just waiting for me!

     

    I snatched that thing outa there and decided I would not open it before I got back to my truck, I would not rabidly open that pretty gold mailer with my teeth before the next step was taken. Instead I showed it to my sweet EmmaGem and I think she got more from the gold mailer than even I did with the coin, BUT SHE WANTED IN! ;) she ripped every stamp and label off before we made it to the park where I told her we'll have to wait for Dorkfish, so she can see just as if it was her own she opened :) and we did :laughing:

     

    What wasnt to be expected was the fact that this beautiful coin not only sent to me, but marked for life with the number 007!!!! YEAH BABY!.......

     

    Carpe Diem! Loved it..........One REALLY cool Mystery coin! Thank you so much....I actually took some pics, but im logging this from The Dorkfishes computer so ill do my best to get em up, but you know me... Maybe next week, right :D:(

    FINALLY MY OWN COIN!

    OK...Just heard back from the mint! The shortage on coin stock hit harder than in previous years and was made aware that the mint WILL NOT have the coins finished till beg-mid of may! :sad: THOSE GUYS I TELL YA!!! :D:D

     

    Technical difficulties have rendered an extreme back log on all coins...I think we are gonna have to work on die re-sizing aswell, hence the possibilities for the middle of the month! :D

     

    Just needed to drop in to tell ya the hold up for all of you eagerly awaiting your most beautiful April Fools coins that have not arrived yet...Dont worry~ "Its in the bank" B):D

     

    Just building the suspense :D

     

    B)

     

    edit to add: This status update brought to you live via the Mendocino County Library! :D

    Thanks again all and its great fun every year, just wish I could tend to the thread a little closer... TommyTrojan won the 3rd wheel edition by default :)

     

    The mint is a little slower than last year, the coins will be made this week and hopefully sent out by Monday the 12th. I got married for April Fools, (at least as far as facebook goes) so my time is no longer my time B)

     

    Ill try to actually get pics of them before they go out this time and ill let ya all know when they ship...Thanks for being hardcore Wolfslady...ill ensure you are a happy wolfslady [:D]

    Toojin

    Gatoulis

    and EdDakota :anicute:

     

    OH and in my haste i failed to realize that an ending time of 7:00 would indicate 8 coins by starting it all off @ 12:00 PT, LOL

     

    SO... I guess the "3rd wheel edition" will be given away @ 7:00 PT~ theres always been an extra anyway, you get a few rejects along the way of the involved and complicated minting process :laughing:

     

    thanks for playin...

    Hey hey Hey...what do we have here! Decided to pop in here for the annual Wolf Cointest! Only this year I dont have time for the him-ha of yankin yer chain or pullin your leg, so lets get right down to it!

     

    7- 2010 edition wolf coins trackable just like last years

     

    1 every hour on the hour just like last years... only this time we'll have to go by forum post rather than by email. So the first Forum post to ring in on the new hour will win that hours coin. We'll start at 12:00 and end at 7:00 PM pacific time.

     

    The winner of the coin should be obvious to everyone and the winning post of every hour will PM me their addy.

     

    I appologize for the lack of attention throughout the cointest, but I currently have no internet and have 3 minutes remaining of my 15 minute session at the library! <_<

     

    Hope everyone has a great April Fools...maybe ill be able to get one over ya better next year! ;)

     

    SO....you got 8 minutes till the first coin goes and 6 other attempts for anyone who may actually want one these beauties! OH MAN just wait till you see it in person :laughing:

     

    Till next Time~ CACHE HARD and CACHE ON!

    Deactivating a coin

    in Trackables

    Posted · Edited by 007BigD

    I have two personal coins that I activated as soon as I got them because I thought it was the thing to do. Now I have a chance to enter an unactivated coin into a contest but I don't own any. Can I deactivate one of the ones I have? Is it possible? Just curious.

    Guiderchachi

     

    No. The only time Groundspeak has ever unactivated a coin is if it was an incorrect tracking code entered by accident.

    Hmmm... I have one of those ;) Never knew GS would do that, just been awaiting its owner to try to activate it, LOL check it....right here http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1065081

     

    If all you need is a unactivated geocoin to enter the cointest and thats what your wantin to do, I gots one for ya. tell me where it goes and get in on the cointest :mad: or you can often get em for less than 10.00 at many of the coin sites.

    This is Bizarre! ~ cuz not only did I release a coin to venture to Tsun back in April, but I also JUST 5 minutes ago sent a link of the coin to her! and I never read this thead!!! :) The coin never moved from the cache till September, but I just got a note on it, that it will be in MT soon :shocked: Heres the linky: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...b4-851e57e759ca

     

    The item attached was made by 2 travelers upon see'ing a cache for the 1st time!...a cache that had not been seen for YEARS and mistakenly found after being archived in 05 :huh: It sat in that cache unactivated till another cacher came along for FTF (on a tribute cache) and swooped it up :laughing: I guess i forgot to even activate it! LOL

     

    Heres a link to the cache that was found after not being found since 05! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...=y&decrypt= where the coin started. and the tribute cache is GC1R25N :laughing:

    Why are Geocoins usually beautiful, and pathtags not?

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I want to do a pathtag still... Its a personal token that costs 1/15 the cost of minting a coin! Its personal :P Though it is no geocoin, thats for sure <_<

     

    I like em... there are some great ones too. You will always have more detail with a geocoin, but thats not limiting the beauty thats possible in creating a really nice Pathtag either.

     

    Its a way for you to create a personal token, most of all reletively inexpensively :)
