[Wooden Nickel Trading]

Today I received a little package that included a hand painted nickel by tsunrisebey.

Thank you tsunrisebey, for this beautiful addition to my collection.

 

I'm glad it arrived! I got yours today also. Loved it Thanks!

 

Thank you also goes out to for items received today;

 

***slowdownracer....very nice!

 

***racer2814 and Texican Space Cowboy...makes me want to head to the nearest Craps table (I guess I hadn't realized that this was going to be two seperate cachers, so I'm going to send one more nickel your way.)

 

***Cross Road Nomads....very nice! Cute pouch.

 

***GC Hounds, got yours the other day, it was the 1st wooden nickel I have received. Very nice!

 

I have just painted up some more and will be sending the next group out on Monday.

 

Thank you all for the wonderful trades, they have given me some neat ideas. All the wooden nickels you received are numbered, only 100 will be made then I'll move onto another nature design.

 

Anyone else who would like to trade, feel free to contact me.

[Activation Code Clearing House]

Hello all,

I am hoping this topic gets pinned.

 

The purpose is to act as a repository of "How to Activate your Geocoin"

 

I know most folks ship instructions, but these get lost -- so here's a place to list your edition and instructions on how to get the Actication Codes.

 

(I'll leave it to other edition managers to post their links -- I thought of this because I just activated my Pennsylvania and San Francisco coins and this required visiting a few websites)

 

Hi,

I have been directed to this site by two vendors, geocoinclub and usa geocoin. I need help in retrieving activation codes for several coins. My granddaughter took all of my geocoins out of their sleeves and i don't know what Activation code goes with these coins.

Here is a list of the coins I need activation codes for or who to go to: (note: both the above said they did not have these coins)

Geocachers Serenity Geocoin tracking number begins with PCM

Geoswag Coin and Pin Club 2006 Christmas Snowflake Geocoin tracking number begins with CP6

Great Smoky Mountain Geoquest 2006 tracking number begins with GQ6

Georgia Gateway to the Appalachain Trail 2005 Geocoin tracking number is just 2 numbers

All Seasons Caching Summer Geocoin tracking number begins with PC6

All Seasons Caching Fall Geocoin tracking number begins with PCV

Triple Wisdom Geocoin tracking number begins with PCF

I Came I Saw I Found It Smiley Face Geocoin tracking number begins with PC8

 

I'm pretty new to this hobby and I've learned my lesson well! Now all my coins have identification cards with name, purchase date, tracking code, activation code, date activated and date released.

 

I sure hope you can help me. Please email me at bud_mccu@earthlink.net with any help you can provide.

Thanks again.

[Rocky Mountain Mega Event]

I'd be interested in attending, pretty close for me plus I've never attended an "event" before.

[Wooden Nickel Trading]

I have about 15 wooden nickels on hand that I would love to trade with others here. I would include a pic but they come out blurry (older dig. camera). I hand paint each one and they take about 15 minutes each to make. So consider it a surprise. If you send an email with your info. I'll send one out to you if you're interested. If there is enough interest, I'll work on painting some more.

I sure hope I jumped thru all the hoops right.

[Tips for Newbie who is having little success]

As a relatively new cacher myself, I found that reading the forums, gave me an advantage when I first started out. I didn't know about bison tubes, "evil" hides and special-made containers. If it wasn't for reading these forums, some of the caches I have found, would be DNF's.

 

If I don't find something within the first 5 minutes, I stand there and look around looking for clues that don't "fit", check my coords, read previous logs, decrypt hint, etc. Like most others said, ask myself "where would I hide it?"

 

Happy caching!

[Worth trying to mint?]

I'll give you my opinion. I personally like image #2 and #3. I think they would look nice on one coin, I would probably buy 2 or 3 if it was done that way but that is just me.
