+Blind Avocado Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 My February geocoin club coin is not glowing in the dark, not even a little bit. I cannot see any glowing images surrounding the grave on the rear. Is anybody else's coin like this? Quote Link to comment
+ou8alizzard Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 it only glows under a black light Quote Link to comment
YemonYime Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) Possible reasons: A. They didn't smoosh up enough fireflies in that batch of enamel. B. They used depleted Uranium. C. You didn't shake it up hard enough. D. The person who does the shipping pocketed your real coin and said: "Hey, the guy goes by the name of 'Blind Avocado'. I'll just send him a blank slug and he'll never know the difference." Edited February 28, 2006 by YemonYime Quote Link to comment
+BenGeo'en Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 That's the best reply I've read in a long time.!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+BenGeo'en Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) I also got mine today and the first thing I did after reading this post was to see if mine glowed. Well it didn't and I'm not even blind, just can't see very well. But how would "That Person" know??? Edited February 28, 2006 by BenGeo'en Quote Link to comment

+Go JayBee Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Where do I get one of those portable blacklights? Quote Link to comment
+FluteFace Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The heyday of the black light is long past -- do they still sell them anywhere? Or am I just way out of touch? Quote Link to comment
+Blind Avocado Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Now I have to go find a black light, although I am betting on "D" of Yimes reply. Quote Link to comment
+RustyBeerCan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I got a blacklight pen from Wallgreens last summer for a couple bucks (in colorado) Works like a small flashlight on one end and writes in invisible ink on the other. Quote Link to comment
+PaHawkeye Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was starting to wonder where my coins where but it looks like some of you just got them. You could always take your new coins to this cache and could probably see them: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...bd-e47f50c6739c One of my favorite caches!! Quote Link to comment

ATMouse Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I got a cheepie black light at Radio Shack. Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 D. The person who does the shipping pocketed your real coin and said: "Hey, the guy goes by the name of 'Blind Avocado'. I'll just send him a blank slug and he'll never know the difference." Picking on the Blind huh??? Never fear Avocado, I've got your back! Had the same issues w/ the Feb coin then remembered it was visible under black light, which I don't have either. Quote Link to comment
+Lehigh Mafia Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Just checked our's out.. Works just great with the black light.. LM Quote Link to comment
Not So Lost Puppies Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 At our regional home center (Menards) they sell small black light plug ins for a couple bucks. Quote Link to comment
Jake - Team A.I. Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Try Petsmart in the carpet care area. I got mine when a couple of local cache hiders decided that using a blacklight would be the only way to find their caches. Quote Link to comment
+Cornerstone4 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Do a search for UV flashlights. There are a lot of LED UV flashlights. I have one of those and it works great. I had the coin and my light at the event on Sunday so everyone could see the coin. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm still chuckling......very funny. Smooshed fireflies, LOL! b, c and d too! Thanks for the laugh. Possible reasons: A.

Captain Chaoss Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Darn, I was gonna tell you that your coin is broke, and you should send it to me for "disposal". Everybody else had to go and ruin though. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Spencer's Gifts has blacklights. It there's one around you-all, it's gonna be in a mall. We get lotsa tiki stuff there, too. Quote Link to comment

This is the third week that notice has been up on their site. I'm still wondering how people have Feb coins when those of us that ordered Jan coins are still sitting here with nada. /rant Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 January Signal coins??? NO one has them... Trippy posted a note earlier on the forums that they received them today. No February coins eitiher.... If you are speaking of subscriber coins, that's a different ball game. They are shipped mid-month and in the order people signed up (I think). Quote Link to comment

Thought of one other reason but it is not nearly as funny as yours. - hey Blindadvocato did you put the batteries in the right way? The only place I know of that has black lights is the local roller rick. Better get them skates out of the attic. Quote Link to comment
+Blind Avocado Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) - hey Blindadvocato did you put the batteries in the right way? Actually I did not try the batteries. I thought it was solar powered. Edited March 4, 2006 by Blind Avocado Quote Link to comment
ElementalJay Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Bought my son a 2-foot blacklight at Lowes, although Home Depot has them too. They are usually in with the under-cabinet lighting. Quote Link to comment
