What Was In Your Mailbox Today!


Cornerstone4

Recommended Posts

After waiting for 34 days, yes that's right 34 days from the USA to Australia! It' must have come via a cruise ship that had a few stops on the way. The 5 coins below arrived in the mail today. :D

 

We had all but given up hope of ever seeing these purchased coins from a fellow forum member, to the point that both parties had declared they were lost and went 50/50 in the misfortune.

 

But good news today :D and now we have a new benchmark for postage USA-AUS before we start to worry. :)

 

It took 3 months to secure a Tengwar, from the moment I discovered geocoins I have been trying to get my hands on one, and now it takes pride of place in my collection. :D

We received a beautiful metal token from Geo.Error. This is so stunning and we cannot Thank You Enough for this special coinament. Thank You for making us smile? You do such lovely work, did you by chance paint it by hand? You are very talented. This will be treasured for a lifetime. We took some pictures to show you how beautiful this token really is. We tried taking pictures of our two dogs but it was hard to get them to stay still.

Bill and Valerie, I have to say I am in love with Mouse. I normally don't go for really fluffy dogs but this dog is so cute and has amazing facial expressions. She is adorable.

We love her so much, we adopted her 2 Christmas ago, she was abused. She took to us right away. We love her so much, and glad she is got a nice home with us.

 

Thank You

 

Barry and Valarie

Good day at the mailbox today! I received me set of Compass Rose coins from Cache Addict along with a pendant and the Year of the Ox coins (which look FANTASTIC!!!). Also received a Lady luck from a trade with SweetLife. They (SweetLife) also threw a snowball at me, I guess that is payback for tossing them at others. Luckily with the heatwave (temps have been in the high 70's for the past week) we've been having it had melted somewhat so it didn't hurt much. Thanks for the trade Barry & Val!!!

Received my first ever geocoins today. One for me and one for my exchange partner for the Family Mission. Don"t want to show a pic. I want them to be surprised when he opens the package.

 

Hooray!

 

Congratulations! I still remember the first package I received -- hard to believe it was only a year ago!

I got one of these from opalsns today in my mailbox! Its my first 'physical' coin (I have two in Todie's Wild Ride! but they are in the US jumping from cache to cache). I didn't realise they are so heavy!

Thank you so much! She also sent me one of those awesome bottle cap magnets too- will have pride of place on our magnetic noticeboard!

 

:bad::lol:

 

Miracle of miracles, it only took 9 days to get here to Cyprus (and we don't get post at the weekends!) That flew! Our record is 4 months for one item of post from the USA to here so I am doubly surprised- the last parcels we received took 4 weeks!

A real surprise in my mailbox today from the Pingos:

 

birthday.jpg

 

There are many coins around, but his one is a fine addition to our collection.

We are trying to make a Zoo, but have also other interests and one of them is the USA. So uncle Cacher really fits in.

It is also appropriate because we like to make others enthousiast for caching.

 

I'm happy i found this forum on geocoins and the many good people I've encountered so far.

I'm trying to find the best place to ask this question... and the "mailbox" thread seems to be the best please to start - please feel free to redirect me if I'm 'out of bounds' here. :-)

 

I want to 'surprise' someone that has been very helpful to me recently with a little token of my appreciation, but I'm new to this actually so, - how are you guys exchanging address, etc. without 'letting the cat out of the bag' so to speak?

 

Thanks, Sav

:( Well I'm a newbie. I've entered my first Mission, The Family Mission. I didn't even have a coin to trade, but I really learned a lot looking for that special coin for my mystery partner. Most important, I've been reading so many of your comments......"what did you get in the mail today" is one of my favorite. The long and short is, you're such a wonderful group of people and I'm really glad I'm getting to know the community more.

 

THANKS.

It's been a long dry spell here, not a bubbler in sight for days and days on end....so sad! Yesterday though, KAboom brought the mail in and what did I spy....a BUBBLER??? I was soooo excited!

 

Unfortunately for me, but lucky for the participants of the Todie's Wild Ride, the bubbler was from a mystery coiner, and was for the Todie's Wild Ride prize bin!! WOW!!! THANKS my diving friend, you are a truly awesome and generous soul!! Another prize for the TWR, a special one at that, one lucky participant will be very happy!!

 

AND WOW, BigD, CONGRATS!!! I would LOVE one of those awesome coins, I am so happy for you and that beauty of a youngster!!
