+Ladycacher Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) I was searching the coin sites this morning looking for up coming coins and found this one: FGA Coin I am wanting to know if this is Floridas State coin. It also says trackable with it's own icon. Edited February 18, 2006 by Ladycacher Quote Link to comment

+Ladycacher Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Awesome! Thanks! I love the gator on the back! Quote Link to comment
+Big JohnP Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 If it's the State coin, I'll be watching for a few. Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Me too, however after spending what I did this morning on a new GPS, coins are going to the back burner for a few weeks. Quote Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ummm...if you got a new GPS over coins you are banned from the Geocoin Forums and are not an addict! You must have gone to a GAA meeting last night and they filled you head full of crap!! Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ummm...if you got a new GPS over coins you are banned from the Geocoin Forums and are not an addict! You must have gone to a GAA meeting last night and they filled you head full of crap!! Given the conditions of the three GPS I have, I had to do something... Meri-Gold can't see the screen, Meridian Green - no mapping, and battery contacts suck, Etrex something or other takes forever to get lock... Jumped at the chance to get a 60CS (no i don't want the CSx) on a good deal.... Coin addict...no you're right, I'm trying to cut back. I've entered the recovery program. I am Jennifer and I am addicted to Geocoins.... Making steps to curb what I buy. Quote Link to comment
+The_Proffens Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I've entered the recovery program. I've been told that I need to enter something along those lines too. MAybe I will see you at meetings Coins look cool too. We would be interested Quote Link to comment

+ChileHead Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Cool ... some of my favorite caches were in Florida. But then again, when I'm in Florida I'm on vacation, so I would have been happy with a lamppost as well! :-) Looking forward to the coin ... hopefully it won't be difficult to get.

It just showed up in my "Previous Orders" list on the site, so it looks like it'll be okay. Weird that there's still a second set in my shopping cart. I emailed them to be sure but it looks like it will be okay. Quote Link to comment
