Need a geocoin placed in North Carolina -- help!

[+jennyams]

Hello everyone -

 

My boys (ages 6 and 4) and I are new geocachers. We launched our first coin, Albany Boys Gingerbread Boy, in May, and shortly thereafter it disappeared at GW5 . I've given it a month to reappear, but I am now losing hope. Since my boys are very young and anxiously awaiting word of this coin, I have decided to launch another Gingerbread Man to continue the first one's travels. I am, however, in upstate NY with no plans to visit NC in the next few weeks.

 

Is there a NC geocacher who might be willing to place the coin in a NC cache if I sent it down to you? They just know it is in North Carolina, so any cache will do! I just ordered it, so it will be another week or so before I would send it. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks!

We are just south of Charlotte, so we could place it in the Charlotte area.

I can place it in western NC if you want it there.

I'm exactly in between Charlotte and Asheville and would be glad to place it as well!

I'm in between the Triad (Greensboro closest/High Point/W-S) and the Triangle (Chapel Hill closest/Durham/Raleigh). GSO, HP, or CH are close to me if you would like me to place it in one of those cities. Just let me know. _c3_ in B-Town

I live right in Raleigh (home of GW5) and if you want, I can place the coin in a cache less than 6.5miles away from where GW5 was held. If you have me place the coin, I can probably drop it off the day it arrives, as I have 4 large caches that I can walk to from my house. E-mail me if you would like me to help.

Are you sure that it is missing?

 

I do know at least one person that has not logged the TB/coins they picked up from GW5. (no not us) So you may want to give it more time before releasing a copy.

Thanks everyone! You all are terrific.

 

I will give it another week or so to see if the coin resurfaces before sending on my copy (it arrived today -- maybe I jumped the gun!). It's good to know there might be someone out there intending to log their coins who hasn't done so. If it doesn't turn up, I think I will take wwflover13 up on the kind offer to release it near GW5.

Don't lose faith yet. My one and only coin was placed in a cache (not at GW5). A cacher visited the cache and did not mention the coin. A few days later another person visited it and said there was no coin. I waited a month and contacted the person I thought might have the coin. His response: "Yes, I have it. I will log it when I have the time".

My hubby, girls and I are in eastern NC and we wouldn't mind placing it. Just let us know.

Thanks again everyone for your offers of help and your faith that the first may turn up. I have sent the replacement down to wwflover13 so it can be placed near the place it disappeared. Feel free to help it move around!

 

Happy caching.
