+TheAlabamaRambler Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Somehow during the very active trading day at GeocoinFest I let my 2004 Alabama Geocachers Association (AGA) coin #AGA00001 get away from me! I had my collection and my trade coins next to each other on a table so someone could easily have mistaken it for a trade coin I suppose. This coin is trackable on Travelertags.com but no one has logged it. If you find this coin please return it to me! This is #1 of the first coin minted by the AGA and travels in my coin collection to be logged at events. I hope that it can be recovered! Thanks!

avroair Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I hope it's recovered, have you posted a note on the event page? Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 I hope it's recovered, have you posted a note on the event page? I did. I am sure it will show up. I have great faith in geocachers! Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) When I saw your table, Ed, I thought you to be the most trusting fellow to have all those coins scattered like that. When others were holding theirs closely you just had yours out there for all to see, touch and handle. It would be terrible if someone took advantage. Hopefully it was a simple mistake and your coin will turn up again. Edited February 22, 2007 by Droo Quote Link to comment

+islander1988 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Really hope it turns up! Hopefully if someone mistakenly traded for it they'll see your post and drop you a line. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well you didn't trade with me, Ed I am sorry for the loss and also hope the current holder contacts you. Quote Link to comment
+Fluttershy Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I watched the YouTube video at the Coinfest, and I was looking at the tables... wondering why I hardly saw any coins spread out. I'm sorry that your coin was lost. I hope it turns up. You have a great attitude about it however, and I'm glad you have faith in Geocachers. So do I. Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Good luck. I hope it returns home to you. Quote Link to comment
+0R0B0RUS Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Let's keep popping this up to the top so that the right person sees it! It was a great pleasure to meet you at Coinfest. Quote Link to comment
+dhenninger Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Checked the coin I got from you in trade, but it was one of the new 2006 AL coins Quote Link to comment
+Nero Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I really do hope it was a simple mistake and it turns up. It would be sad to think that a fellow cacher would be dishonest and steal coins. Quote Link to comment
+Hula Bum Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I really do hope it was a simple mistake and it turns up. It would be sad to think that a fellow cacher would be dishonest and steal coins. Sadly, if people will steal them out of caches I guess there is no reason they wouldn't steal them off a table too (although that's a lot more brazen). I really hope that it turns up and is just a mistake. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 It will show up eventually! No, I don't for a minute believe it was intentional. I put my collection out at every event and walk away to socialize and visit and never have a problem. I usually have one bag with activated collectables in it and another with unactivated trade coins and tell folks to trade for what they like out of the trade bag. Easy to get something confused like that. I couldn't enjoy events the way I do if I couldn't do that - geocachers rock! Quote Link to comment
+chancerider Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Sorry to hear that your coin is missing.... I hope it's just a simple mistake and that your coin is returned to you quickly. Quote Link to comment
+0R0B0RUS Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hey Ed - I posted links to this thread on both the GeoCoinFest and THEGBA forums - I hope it helps. Quote Link to comment

+Rattlingcrew Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I missed the event, but I hope your coin shows up! I hope you had a great time otherwise.... Glen Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Let's bump this up again. I enjoyed trading with you at the MWGB and sure hope this coin turns up!! Quote Link to comment
+wavector Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 bumpity bump It was a real pleasure meeting you at the GeocoinFest Ed and I want to thank you for everything. I hope that this coin turns up, I can't imagine that someone would try and keep this coin, we know where it belongs, with you. I am still down here in California with the family and I imagine there are others who have yet to return home so don't give up. If we keep this thread up your coin will show up. Quote Link to comment
+501_Gang Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Any luck yet Ed? (I didn't attend but as a collector I hope your coin returns soon) See ya in TN on the 31st of March! Quote Link to comment
+007BigD Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I will check mine tonight- I believe we traded coin for coin in person, and certainly think I would have noticed a #1 coin... But Ill certainly check-Good Luck Quote Link to comment
Jake - Team A.I. Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey Ed, We traded after the event, but I know for certain that the coin I got from you certainly wasn't an Alabama. Since you were one of the last people I talked ot at the event I'll double check my traders box just to be extra sure. I really hope it turns up. It was really a pleasure to meet you at the event.

ParentsofSAM Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I look through all the the trades that the girls made and did not see the coin. I knew they had traded with you. Hopefully the person will read this soon and get it back to you. Quote Link to comment

+hikin' nut Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Good luck in finding your coin. You could also try e-mailing or calling in to podcacher. Maybe they could make a quick shout out for you. Quote Link to comment

+Fluttershy Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Ed, Perhaps this isn't exactly a great idea, but I see you posted your Phone number... but, if you posted an address in the thread... maybe it would help. If someone does find it in their collection, it might be too embarrassing for them to come forward. This gives a chance for it to be returned anonymously. Unfortunately, this is a rare #1 coin, which can't be replaced. I really hope, it finds it's way back to you. Quote Link to comment
