+intolerable Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 mightyzinn is on the verge of making his 100th find and I wanted to get him a coin to mark the occasion. I had planned to get a Coins and Pins achievement coin, but thought he might better enjoy a different coin, as the achievement coins are pretty fancy and he's 4 and not necessarily impressed by that :-) Was hoping I might get some suggestions for super cool coins all of your kids love to death. They don't have to be new coins, as I'll likely have to try and make a trade either way. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment

He sleeps with it pinned above his head (well besides his Jedi). What about ordering him his own pathtag???? Quote Link to comment

A pathtag of his own is a great idea... he loves browsing the pathtag gallery and checking them all out and would probably try and trade them all in a day... but that's *way* beyond what my wallet can handle presently :-) Quote Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I just recently ordered some Nerds V2 of my own and was able to tack on an order of 5 with Cinnabear's name on them in a color she would like with someone else. She doesn't know yet but i'm guessing she'll be pretty pleased I think something like that would make his day AND I can't really speak for her but she might like to trade one or two.... I am not sure if you can still tack on orders though. Good Luck and tell him Congratulations. Quote Link to comment
+GPX Navigators Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Does he like Dinos? The Medicine Hat Albertasaurus is a cool one for little dudes. Or perhaps the Pathtag Shepra. Pretty shiny and comes with its own Pathtag. He can put whatever tag he wants in there and then when he gets his own (one day) he can use the Sherpa to share with other people. Quote Link to comment
+GBOTS Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 There's the "Super Cacher" coin Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 If he really likes ammo can caches, you might consider one of those cammo ammo can coins at the geocoinstore or somethng along that line. Quote Link to comment
+intolerable Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions, they were all things he'd like and I appreciate it :-) I might do a Sherpa with the future promise of a pathtag... he'd love that as he could swap out the pathtags we have here and it would combine geocoins and pathtags (double fun for him!) Plus, it looks like his traveling Sherpa has gone missing anyways :-| Quote Link to comment
+wsgaskins Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Coins with spinners are always a big hit. older coins: South Pointing Compass GPS interactive spinner coin new coins: C&P navigation coin (don't recall the name) Quote Link to comment

I have a ROT13 dragon and he really likes that and I never let him play with it! As for the C&P nav coins... I would probably steal them from him ;-) Quote Link to comment
+Woodland Clan Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The Coo Coo for Caching coin is very cute. Quote Link to comment

+intolerable Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 The Coo Coo for Caching coin is very cute. Another great suggestion! I had not heard of this one and looked it up. mightyzinn happened to see the picture and was all begging me to buy it. If nothing else, this thread will result in adding to his already healthy seeking list ;-) Thanks! Quote Link to comment

YUP I have one to trade!!!! One of the very few coins I have. I tend to keep things instead of trading them.... This is a great reason to let one go. Quote Link to comment
+zazth Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thorne's fave is our working maze coin "Cached and Confused", It's a kids toy of a coin anyway. which ever coin you get the little one, I'm sure will be treasured just because it is from you. Quote Link to comment

Well, if you want to set me up with a BN... ;-) He can be pretty hands on with his coins and as his coins are his coins, I let him. I did buy him a binder today and he *really* liked that. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the maze to fit into the sleeve options we had with the pages I bought. Quote Link to comment
+Cheesy pigs Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Well if you want a beautifully made coin that the kid will play with for hours, you cant go past the South Pointing Chariot. My boy would give his right leg for one, but settles instead for stealing mine and hiding them in his underwear drawer. Quote Link to comment
+Woodland Clan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Mightyzinn's coin is on its way. I tucked our sig poker chip in there for you intolerable. I hope it makes it in time for his 100th find. We would love to see some photos if you can. Happy Caching!!! Quote Link to comment

Your coin went out yesterday. I'm sure I'll post a picture or two, ramble on and on like he made his 10,000 find rather 100, etc :-) And thanks for the sig poker chip... we love sig items!

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I would just be guessing, but I think one of the coins with Signal on it would be a favorite. Quote Link to comment
