What Was In Your Mailbox Today!

Recommended Posts

There was a box in my mailbox today (rather a card - that I had a box). It held the Mariners Astrolabe Geocoin. When the Navigational Coins came out, I started getting them for my son - he is more than pleased with this one. It is far more than a coin but a skillfully made, beautiful tool. In addition there was a Cache Angel geocoin - much cuter than I expected - wished I had gotten more than one of these little cuties.

 

Hope other folks who ordered this awesome tool have the same reaction - wow!

This week I received two New Zealand GPS society coins, a Brahean and a cute litlle kiwi coin that I ordered from New Zealand. The brahean and the little kiwi coins came together with a handy decryption card, muggle card and a fridge magnet that says 'you hide it, we find it'. Thanks Andy and Kathy! I wanted to take a photo of the magnet as well, but Fantasties keeps hiding it and I can't find it right now ;-) This morning it was still on the fridge....

 

I also traded some coins with Millieballon for a Wisconsin 2008 cow (I love it, it's going to travel soon...) and a Landsharkz Gecko (really nice colors!). Millieballon added a Beaver travel guide and a snowman pathtag as a gift. Thanks Millieballon ;)

I also got two ammoboxes (not in the mailbox, but by the mailman), as I'm planning to hide my first caches soon :-)

I'm glad the coin arrived... I also know what it's like to watch your dog get older...our first schnauzer died at age 15, and is missed. The two dogs pictured on the front of the coin, Logan (age 7) and Heineken (age 4...my rescue dog, but I'm not sure who rescued who,) are my constant companions. The original picture used for the coin, was copied from a charcoal of my dogs, done at "Camp Gone To The Dogs" and transferred to the coin by Personal Geocoins. I'm honored to have my coin in the hands of such a devoted Schnauzer owner!

It was a nice day today -- three mailers. : )

 

I got a Bodensee Winter BBQ coin

Also a "Geocoin Collecting" coin and one of Avroair's 08-08-08 event coins (black and yellow) (and an extra pin)

And the AE of the "Peace On Earth" suncatcher from Wicksworks (AND a pathtag, thank you so much!) -- beautiful, beautiful coin!

 

They were all purchases, mostly on eBay, and I've been waiting for them on pins & needles. They certainly make going to the post office fun!

Gatoulis has the matching #099 in the Moonraker edition...I chose for you 2 to have matching #'s beacuse you two came around the same time with virtually the same enthusiasm. ;)

 

Enjoy and glad it finally made it!

Thanks so much, nmartin!

It was a nice couple of days for me, mailwise*:

 

Yesterday: a blue and a red lobster (so that's how those flakes got on there...)

 

Today: A nice fat package from Germany with 2x Geoclub.de's 5 Jahre coins, 2x 2nd Bodensee Winter BBQ coins, a silver Raith Gras, 2x copper/silver Raith Gras coins, an extra Eureka coin (they are so cool), and 2x antique silver Ratisbona geocoins, which (hard to believe) are even more striking and lovely in person than the website conveys. Sepp & Bertha (and the folks over at geocoinshop.de) really do a fabulous job with their coins!

 

And having all these preciouses spread out on my desk enabled me to introduce a coworker to Geocaching, how cool is that?

 

*My husband is not so happy with my geocoin purchases. Not because of the price, no. It's because he buys airplane models and modeling supplies over the Internet, so when there's a yellow slip in our post office box he gets excited...and then it's geocoins. Or he looks up plaintively at me when I come home from work: "Anything for me?" "No..." I say sadly (but only semi-sadly), while lugging my sweet, sweet, shiny bounty.

When Mom came in from the mailbox she told me she thought I had some mail. Since I don't have thumbs and it was addressed to her anyway, I told her to open it up. Sure enought there was the coin I won in Lorca.nls cointest!! She also sent a wooden shoe sig item too--very cool. Mom told me she has a real wooden shoe from Holland (Michigan that is :P )but she won't show it to me. I think I'd have to taste it anyways.

 

Woof! Woof! and many puppy dog kisses to Anne and Corina and paws to Lorca and Error!!!!! :D:D

 

 

Mom just had to take my picture LOL

I got these in a trade with Laval K-9 :):):)

 

Ooohhhh2.jpg

 

Oh! Congratulations my friend!!! Beautyful coins! I like the doghouse one that has the dog inside! ;)

 

Is that a geocoin or a signature item? what about the other dog house?? :laughing:

Hi Nikos!

The doghouse coin with the dog inside is Laval K-9's personal, trackable coin and it is very cool! The other doghouse is their signature item, brand new and hand made :blink: I can't decide which I like the best :D
