+DJ.J.ROCK Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 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. 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 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. ahhh ohhhhh ahhhh--a colored tengwar,,your very lucky- that is my top saught after coin and i do belive many others too,take good care of her!!

+sweetlife Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 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. Mouse: 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 Quote Link to comment

JohnMac56 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 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!!!

BoatBird Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 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! 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! Quote Link to comment

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.
