  1. Anyone from Canada, receive there coin yet, I'm still waiting.

     

    Your posting is very timely. I just got three packages sent back to me that were all addressed to Canada. On them they had a sticker saying anything over 13 ounces has to go to the counter and deal directly with a postal employee. I have shipped to Canada before and this is the first time this has happened. Sorry about the delay, the three envelopes will be going out today.

  2. Wow it does look similar. They kinda took our badge idea from 2006. Well....more good looking coins for collectors and to travel the world is a good thing in my opinion. The artwork was inspired by a badge design from the Amtrak Railroad Police badge so both were taken from that design.

  3. The very popular Police Geocaching Squad is proud to present its 2009 version. We are expecting this from the mint in July.

     

    We are now taking preorders for this coin. We are minting 200 coins in 4 different finishes. 50 of Gold, 50 Nickel, 50 Antique Gold and 50 Antique Silver. The 2006 coin was so popular that it sold out quickly and recently this coin went for $56 on Ebay. This version is the Garmin Armed version. We are only shipping to the USA and Canada. The Gold version is available by itself or you can preorder the set of all four finishes.

  4. Well I killed my battery in one day yesterday but it is a new phone so I was "playing with it" all day. I had wifi on and was surfing, I had geocache navigator on at lunch and found two caches, I had load up a BBGPSGolf software and went 9 holes and it showed my distance to the green perfectly. As a result of this blackberry overdose day my battery was near dead when I got home. So to answer your question, I think the battery will last 2 to 3 days with normal infrequent operation. I am also not too happy that the Curve 8900 does not take the normal small usb charger so I have to buy new car adapters and wall adapters as well as make sure I do not lost this special usb cable! Come on, the best phone I have ever used and you could not use a standard adapter! I will check out cacheberry today.

  5. Just got my new Blackberry Curve 8900. I was not convinced you could geocache very well with a phone but it has worked great! I have found three geocaches with it so far. Yes it may take a little longer to acquire the sats and update your location but it works.

     

    I use Trimble's GeocacheNavigator software and it works wonderful.

     

    I was going to buy a Garmin Oregon but I think I am going to stick with the Blackberry for awhile as I can download cache locations on the fly right from the phone

  6. Thanks to all who submitted designs. I can pick a clear winner if you want but as it stands right now I would like to mint three of the designs.

     

    The two winners are surteb, E&Cplus3.

     

    Originally 20 coins went to the winner, but if you both can agree on 15 total coins each (you choose how many of which version) a total of 30 coins will go to the two winners

     

    The doll version, the Daruma version and the Austin version.

     

    Let me know your thoughts.

     

    I will mint one at a time, a limited amount on each coin.
