Our Dog Days of Summer package came while I was on vaca last week. I got back this week and no sooner was told I had to go on another Business Trip. I'm now home from that trip and getting all caught up on geocoin related items.

 

Our "not so secret" mission person was very generous! We got a Geocoin Forums v2 Silver coin and a number of sig items. Thanks so much. We love them all

I hope I'm posting this to the correct thread, because when I received the envelope, it had a dog on it!

 

I got some really cool stuff:

ND Benchmark Coin (I love Benchmark Coins!)

A Black Nickel Cacher Tag coin

A Toojin & Bart Wooden Nickel

A racer2814 Poker chip

A Bumble Button

A metal angel

And a Dorkfish Seahorse patch

And a beautiful little cloth bag with drawstrings. It is so pretty, it is pink with little butterflies on it!

 

I have no idea who my secret person is, but thank you so much! You really made my day!

Today was the PERFECT day to receive my mission package! I had to drive Dark Star to the eye doctor and sit around and wait while he had his eyes dilated. The mail came just before we left and I saved the package for the waiting room! First I found a notecard with buffalo on the front....well, after I read the nice note I realized they were bison. Bison Woman told me the reason she picked out each coin.

 

The first coin is the Canine Cachers Coin/2005 2nd Edition. This is the "dog" part of the mission. I LOVE silver coins with gold features, and I LOVE dogs! The second coin is a Team Sand Dollar coin. It is the "summer" part of the mission. I've never seen a coin like this, and I'm very happy to have it. Both coins are very beautiful, and I thank you very much! Along with the coins I received two of Bison Girl and Woman's signature item: a buffalo nickel and a North Dakota quarter.

 

 

 

 

The pictures don't do the coins justice! Thank you so much, Bison Woman!!!

[+lindsychris]

Our mission had quite a distrance to travel---it came from Sweden!!! We got a zodiac coin, a swedish flag sig item and a Sweden lanyard. Thanks so much!

 

[+Toojin]

And what an excellent package of goodies it was and is.

Scavok handmade coin (accounting for the major heavy package)

CoreynJoey Top 40 - The Lost Satellites -Ammo Can Guys Livin in a Micro World (Great song title!)

Dark Side of the Cache

CoreynJoey Geotag very classy yin yang dolphin design!

Totally awesome handmade (sculpey I think?) C dolphin J token !!! (I want to learn how to make this type of thing...)

 

Thanks so very much !!

Getting worried... I sent my mission almost 3 weeks ago to Canada and I haven't seen a sign that it's arrived yet. I'll give it another week and if it's still not arrived I'll put together another to send. I hate not being able to have delivery confirmation on international packages.

You can write down the International number listed on it.

It can be tracked that way.

 

I sent some a time or two and had the same concerns.

 

I asked my Postmaster how I could check it and that is what he told me to do.

 

They all arrived OK though.

[+LadyBee4T]

I had some snafus with two trades for this mission but I am now happy to say that my mission package was sent out in the last several days. Enjoy! Mission accomplished!

I'm glad you liked the stuff! Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was suffering through the dog days of summer in south Alabama. Dang, they have impressive humidity there.

[+Accordiongal]

Good evening, Received the last dog days of summer mission from a cacher in California. Only know his real name, not caching name. THanks David.

 

Received two geocaching coins- a Mouint Cachemore and a dog days of summer hot dog (how appropriate), two wooden nickels, and a uniques sig item, a Big D stamped penny. Along with various other items.

 

Thanks,

Woo hoo! Good things are worth waiting for.

 

 

My package arrived, and I received several pins, a nice sturdy bison tube (hmm... have to think of a good use for this one), and 2 geocoins. Best of all, one of them was LFD's latest coin, which I was wondering how I'd get since he's doing face-to-face trades. So, I'm a happy camper! Thankyou Tethys C!

Thanks very much Tokencollector. The whole family spent ages looking through all these. We've never seen the bus tokens before so they were a real novelty to receive! They are so cool - you do such a great job with the packages you put together!! And a GeoTag and GeoJellie to boot - two projects I was also involved in. Thank you very much for the mission - you have inspired me!

I am posting be-lated, since I am in the middle of moving everything else takes a backseat. I received a great package including a Yorkshire Dales National Park geocoin, a piggy bank geocoin and a Scaw Geotag. I don't have any of those coins, they have been activated and await the drill and tag so they can be released. My 5 year old grabbed the Scaw tokens right away to add to his "geocoin collection" Thanks so much Scaw!!

 

[+Solan109]

I was hoping to find a coin in the mailbox today, but no such luck - I hope it didn´t get lost and the sender just misscalculating the the time it takes to get here

[+Tank Hounds]

For those of you that haven't received your missions yet or haven't posted that you've received them, I am going to be sending out emails to check on the missions...don't dispair yet!

[+fox-and-the-hound]

Ours arrived about a week back, but I haven't been able to visit the forums in a while. Life caught up in a big way, but hopefully we'll be back on track soon. A big thanks to AccordionGal for her generous exchange! We love the coins and the cache THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

A "Bitten by the Geocachiing Bug" Bumble Button

THANK YOU!!!!!!

[+GeoSmurfz]

Just wanted to drop a note about this mission. I have received all four of mine. I didn't have a chance the last few weeks to even try to get them shipped out. I will have them out tomorrow. I am really sorry to the people that I have. There were issues with my wife that I had to take care of.

[+Tank Hounds]

Geosmurfz, hope all is well with your wife...it was good to hear from you...your email bounced back when I tried to email! Thanks for letting us know that the missions were on the way!

[+Tank Hounds]

It looks like I've heard from everyone but one person and everyone I've heard from has sent the mission..keep posting when you get them and I'll keep marking them off on my list! I'm impressed that almost everyone has already received their msisions! Thanks for all the hard work and it was great to see all the pictures!!

Mission # 2 received!! And all the way from New Zealand...

 

KeeWe sent a wonderful package...the first thing I found was a "Post Card" of a family BBQ with 2 dogs hiding behind a tree...the first dog (holding a bent spatula) is explaing to the other that "It's spring-hinged...he'll be dropping food left and right and we'll be living large..." Being "owned" by a 108lb Black Lab, this had me rofl...next came a cute litttle stuffed Kiwi...then a I love NZ flip flop magnet...then, a #26 KeeWee signature token with a neat pictorial card explaining the Kiwi bird to us ...and, for the grand finale...a New Zealand Fern coin!!! I have tried 3 times to buy this coin on ebay and was always outbid...I had given up all hope of ever having one...Thank you, Thank you, KeeWee...watch out for those Kiwi claws when night caching...lol

Well - I did owe you big time, so I had to make sure I did repay you.

 

I was quite worried that customs would get their hands on it and it would be delayed beyond what it was - but thankfully it looks like that didn't happen.
