+MO Outdoorfamily Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Now I see it, but the picture is not coming up.... Usually that means she doesn't have an image yet. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 One side is the regular Moun10Bike logo that you see on his coins. The other is a photo of Jon and his wife. This coin has a hanging loop, so it can be used as an ornament. A few people up here have recieved one in the mail, as a complete surprise. I'm not one of them. Quote Link to comment
+Cache-Hounds Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 is there anyway that Santa could be Moun10Bike? I was just looking at www.thecachingplace.com and under newest coins there is a Moun10Bike Christmas listed with no art work yet and I've never heard of Moun10Bike Christmas coins. Well that coin is different. The Mystery Christmas coin is also featured on the caching place. I guess it *could* be anybody at this point. But I know Moun10bike's Christmas coin is something else altogether. Ok I was just wondering since the Moun10Bike had not artwork tied to it yet. You can check Moun10bike's profile for a picture of the ornament... they're trackable, just like his coins. Very cool Quote Link to comment

+Ladycacher Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I thought about doing something for the people I trade with often or have dealt with in the forums in reference to geocoins. Quote Link to comment
+Hula Bum Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) Wahhhh, not fair, someone got 2 of the elusive coins on ebay! Editing: I should have said, there have been 5 sold and 2 went to the same person. Yes, I'm bitter! I hope Santa doesn't give two to any one person. Nobody's been THAT good!

+nielsenc Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I nearly stumbled into a freebie on ebay. Santa gave another one away at 7:00pm PST. There have been a total of 5 so far. Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) Wahhhh, not fair, someone got 2 of the elusive coins on ebay! Well that stinks that one person won 2 of the auctions. I think Santa should state in the listing that only 1 coin is available per eBay user ID in his listing. Edited December 11, 2005 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment

I was just looking at www.thecachingplace.com and under newest coins there is a Moun10Bike Christmas listed with no art work yet and I've never heard of Moun10Bike Christmas coins. Regardless I still believe in Santa and I've been a very good girl this year. Even rediscovered caching since I've been off work for a week :-) Go to Moun10Bikes profile and look at his "owned" travel bugs. You'll see over 600 next to his special icon. Check out the first 50 or so... Edited December 11, 2005 by pdxmarathonman Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Personally I hope we DON'T find out who it is. I chalk it up to Santa himself and am happy to leave it at that. Quote Link to comment

+Blind Avocado Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) I must apologize to everybody. I just did something completely bone-headed stupid. I found one on ebay at the 5 cent buy it now price and in my excitement and hurry to get the bid I put in a regular bid instead of the buy it now. I immediately emailed the seller to retract my bid and give it to the next lucky finder, but by then it was too late. Now the bidding is way up and I do not know how to fix it. I am So sorry to ruin this Christmas gift. Edited December 11, 2005 by Blind Avocado Quote Link to comment

If not then BA just helped Santa pay for the cost of minting those coins. Quote Link to comment

+Blind Avocado Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I have been in contact with Santa about my mistake. He is a very forgiving and kind person. What he wants to know is should he pull the auction or let it go and give the money to a local charity? Comments? Quote Link to comment

Yep, great idea. At least it's one of Santa's auctions and not someone who found or got one form ebay reselling it for personal gain. Santa will do the right thing with the proceeds.

+Ladycacher Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! I recieved a package in my mailbox today that was totaly unexpected. I looked at the return address and it said "Santa" and "North Pole". I started shake......then I started to dance......then I tore into the package like it was my first present ever! For what I seen was the greatest coin of all. I held it tight and looked it over (while my nieghbors stared at me). I had the warmest, happiest moment right then and there. I would like to THANK SANTA for thinking of me and showing me that I was a good Ladycacher this year! Quote Link to comment

So cachers, grab your units and hit the trail because... ...He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's been caching alright, Santa Claus is going caching! Texas Santa Ho...Ho...Ho...

+oldnavy59 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I cannt wait to see ST Nick on the hunt, mmmm wonder if he uses Garmin or Magellan or maybe just maybe Rudolph has a super GPSr inbedded in that Bright red nose to lead Santa to all those 5/5 caches i will be checking the logs and making a list and checking it twice to see if Santa has been naughty or nice to the Tri-State area of WV, KY & OH. I went out caching yesterday just to see if maybe he remembered us Merry Christmas to all and to all a great hunt Quote Link to comment
the federation Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Well it appears that since Lady Cacher was so good this year that I wasn't all that bad either since I recieved a similiar envelope in my mailbox too.
