+J10fly Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Ok so I was sticking my hand in a tree over the summer reaching in for a cache when low and behold...that's not the cache! After bugging me (hehe) for a quite a while I thought this coin might be a cute idea. Let me know what you think. I was thinking of the hive front being 3D with the hole recessed and the eyes just glaring at you! Jayman11 Quote
+UOTrackers Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I was thinking of the hive front being 3D with the hole recessed and the eyes just glaring at you! Jayman11 COOL! Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Now that is cute and has "everything" to do with geocaching. Quote
+fairyhoney Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I can relate to this coin, only I was swarmed by Yellow jackets or wasps not knowing they were there IN the ground!! I'm sure it would sell. I'd diffinately want several!!!! Quote
+AtwellFamily Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Now that is cute and has "everything" to do with geocaching. I agree but think you should add something like "Bee -Ware that may not be a cache your putting your hand in!" Quote

I agree but think you should add something like "Bee -Ware that may not be a cache your putting your hand in!" You hit it on the money, I've been brainstorming for that exact part. I could not get something to come out of my head not sounding cheesy. For example: BEE-Ware You're Caching In Dangerous Territory Something to that effect. Jayman11 Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I think we all get the idea without saying it. Quote
+3doxies Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Yep, been there, done that - ouch! Great-looking coin! Quote
+Go JayBee Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I read this post, and all I could think about was this: Now that is "extreme" caching... Quote
+The Moop Along Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I read this post, and all I could think about was this: Now that is "extreme" caching... Yikes! Who the heck is that guy? hehehhe Quote

+The 4 F's Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) Really cute coin!!! And I like Atwell Family's suggestion about the saying on the coin. I'd buy a few! Edited March 3, 2007 by The 4 F's Quote
YemonYime Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I read this post, and all I could think about was this: Now that is "extreme" caching... Yikes! Who the heck is that guy? hehehhe Yeah, but you should see the other guy... Quote
+cache agent Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I read this post, and all I could think about was this: Now that is "extreme" caching... I recognize him!!!!! he's on hazards of caching coin!!!! Its one of my favs! (sorry it really happened didn't know it was a true picture) CA Quote
+chancerider Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Great idea and design! Out caching one day, I reached up under some bleachers... I know, bad idea. After getting stung over a dozen times, I retreated to our truck to make use of the bee-sting stuff I carry. Oh, and the "dear husband"???? he kept right on looking for the cache, found it, brought it to me to sign the log! Now that's a great caching companion! Oh, and I'd "need" a couple of these Quote

+S&G.Davison Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Great coin - what about the eyes on the front glaring out to glow ? Sue Quote
+007BigD Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) GOJAY-BEE Holy cow man- Ill bet you got pampered that night. That look will be burned into my head forever...thanks for sharing this, it makes me very greatfull I am not allergic to bees. Ill bet you were miserable!...I cant help but feel sorry. As for the coin - Awesome!...Im sure everyone can relate to this coin, whether it was during caching or not. I would definatley be in! Edited because I dont think you should change a thing- it would be cool with glowing eyes or the eyes and wings Edited March 3, 2007 by 007BigD Quote
+Pepper Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I read this post, and all I could think about was this: Now that is "extreme" caching... The above picture looks remotly familar to this nice feller I ran into while playing poker at the geopoker 2007 in Cali. Go is that really you? Wow pour thang. Oh I almost forgot about the coin...kinda cute. Pepper Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I can relate to this coin! I got stung by something while reaching into a tree to find a place to hide a cache. I think that both myself and my dog got stung! There wasn't a huge swarm or anything and I only got stung once (arm swelled up rather nicely...) but something definatly drove us away from that tree - at a run! I'd buy a couple of these.

+Fluttershy Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Wow, Jaybee! Sorry about the Bee Stings!!! Is that a Ty Caterpillar TB on your Hat??? Now, how CREATIVE is that? Great stuff, GO! Quote
+Fluttershy Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Nice Design, Jayman! What kind of enamel will you use? I love hard enamel lately, but this would be great with a Soft enamel, I think... to give the honeycomb a lot of texture. Whatever you decide, it's certain to come out Great! Quote
+J10fly Posted March 3, 2007 Author Posted March 3, 2007 Great coin - what about the eyes on the front glaring out to glow ? Sue Yup, that was what I was thinking on that one! Jayman11 Quote

After receiving my samples of my Mail Jeep coins I have a better understanding now of the enamels and such.....I was thinking 3D front with the soft enamel hole, the back soft enamel so it gives the honeycomb some depth.

+steel city babes Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 really cool coin, I like that it relates to caching. I have yet to be stung but I am early in my caching career (170finds) so who knows... Did I mention I would buy a few. Steel City Babes Quote
+larry739 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 This one brings back memories. Bad ones. But I like the coin. Quote
+CachingCoins Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 And I haven't done enough caching to run into this problem. I will now be more aware! I'll have to buy a couple of these coins to remind me! Quote
+J10fly Posted March 3, 2007 Author Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks all! So what do you think....add a saying to it or send it off as is? Simple but to the point! Jayman11 Quote
+JoenGPS Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Simple and to the point....we like it!! ..(Great meeting on the trail & caching with you too!) Quote

+J10fly Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Mint work is in the works right now. Will post it as soon as it gets back to me! Thanks for all the wonderful comments from everyone! Dont forget if you are not on my email list already, shoot me an email to get on there for updates on future coins I am designing and special auctions! (jay.man11@verizon.net) Jayman11 Quote
+Rattlingcrew Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I have some honeybee experience and more wasp experience. Our last caching encounter with the yellow jackets had a 13 year old and a ten year old running around in circles screaming about how bad it hurt. When the two boys finally came back to the car for a little medication, they were laughing about screaming like a girl. I missed the angry little pests somehow. I need a couple of these, actually three, one for me and one for each of the girls... Glen Quote
+J10fly Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 OMG! I love how this one is coming! I just got the mint pics back! Check them out: Jayman11 Quote
+J10fly Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Just oked it to get the samples made and see what metals I'm gonna do! Will update with those photos when they're available! Dont forget to email me if you want to be on my update list for this and other coins I'm designing! Jayman11 Quote
+chancerider Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 It looks GREAT! Can't wait to get a couple. Quote
+Go JayBee Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I just have to get one of these coins...if anyone is buying extras to trade...please keep me in mind. Quote
+pocketpupsnet Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I think it is cool to have some safety reminders in our caches... Sometimes we take this hobby/sport for granted and get to comfortable we won't get hurt. Your coin spreads a great message. I heard on a podcast that a family was attacked by killer bees while geocaching. Although the family got out alright. the family pet's leash wrapped around the bicycle and the dog did not make it.

+J10fly Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 OMG that's horrible. At least the family made it ok. Jayman11 Quote
