+MustangJoni Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 LOL - I know a few people who could use that coin! Quote
ljay Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Thank you so much for making a coin just for me. i regularly wonder why i bother!!! Much to the amusement of the other attendees at a recent cache bash i spent almost an hour underneath a rhododendron (SP?) looking for a cache that was not under the rhododendron!!! The challenge to the cache was supposed to be managing it without getting your feet wet. i did eventually get it with the assistance of another caching team... i'm proud of the fact that i didn't get my feet wet on either of the visits to the cache sire tho. Order will be placed presently!! Thanks Ljay Quote
+TheWilkens Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 Thank you so much for making a coin just for me. i regularly wonder why i bother!!! Order will be placed presently!! Thanks Ljay Excellent, I think that should almost be the inept motto "Why do I even Bother" in Latin of course Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I think someone has been watching our caching methods......... Just glad we're entertaining enough to star on a coin! Quote
+TheWilkens Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 It's funny to see so many UK buyers of this coin. I'm originally from England and never knew the inept creed had spread so far We're already at 100 pre-orders so we've only got another 150 left before they're all gone! (oh no!.. or yay! depending on your point of view ) Quote
LoriDarlin Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Cute coin and oh so me...and now that I think about it...oh so mama cache...are you listening? you need one of these coins lol Quote
+Sparticus06 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) As much as I would love to get this one, because it definitely fits me to a T...I just cant do it right now. It is so sad. Maybe I will find one someday some where or I will have a coin to trade for one. Till then, I will just sit back and admire it from a distance. (Just realized, I love odd shape coins. Just round ones seem to bore me. Always gotta try and get the weird shapes...lol) BTW - great lookin coin. A keen idea. Edited July 2, 2008 by Sparticus06 Quote
+Taubin_ZL2TOY Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 That coin is TOTALLY me, there is one cache I have been to 6 times now that I can't find. And yes, it appears to be there, as others have found it with no problem Quote
+Degai Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 OMG! Your coin describes me to a "T"! Had to have it! Quote
+TheWilkens Posted July 5, 2008 Author Posted July 5, 2008 Well we only have 60 of these coins left for sale, we expect to ship them out in a little over two weeks time. I'm really surprised at how quickly they've been sold! Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 does anyone have an extra for trade??? that coin is so like us.........thanks Quote
+BIGJIMinCT Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Very nice coin MrWilkens, I ordered four of them and just wondered if you had an update as to how many are left? Quote
+TheWilkens Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 Very nice coin MrWilkens, I ordered four of them and just wondered if you had an update as to how many are left? Thanks Jim There are about 40 coins left. Quote
+yalehockeymom Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I can't wait to get mine too! Keith, do you know when you will be receiving them? I am gone most of the summer at the lake house. I may have to make arrangements to have it shipped elsewhere. I will keep watching for the update. Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 That's pretty funny! Have you tried to fit that in a hide-a-key type container yet? Love your signature line, too. I'm forwarding this thread to a friend who feels exactly the same way. Quote

+TheWilkens Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 our purchase site is currently down, looks like demand overwhelmed it . If you have been trying to order please be patient, I will post back here when the site is back up. Sorry for the inconvenience. Quote
+TheWilkens Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 Well, as soon as I posted that it looks as though the site is back up. Purchase away Quote

I posted on our local site and they've since ordered theirs Any chance you'll be doing trades in the future? Quote
+TheWilkens Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 The coins made it through customs (with a slight delay) and are now on their way to me, hopefully they'll arrive early next week and I'll mail them all out as soon as I receive them. We still have a few left for sale, but not many! Quote
+TheWilkens Posted July 20, 2008 Author Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) Coins have arrived and... Start shipping Monday! There are still a few left too. Edited July 20, 2008 by TheWilkens Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks again for keeping us in the loop information wise. Quote
+chancerider Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Wow! I'm glad this thread got bumped up. I was working at a large animal evacuation shelter when this thread was started and completely missed this coin. Yep, there's a cache I've been to 4... count 'em...4 times. I know the cache is there because others have found it. It runs about 50/50 for find/dnf. Placed an order a few minutes ago... I feel I've "earned" this coin . Quote
ljay Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 if there was ever any doubt that i deserved this coin i eradicated it on Wednesday! I visited Edinburgh for the day and got ZERO finds! I had the co-ords for about 10 Caches. Couple were mysteries and multis. So i started at Edinburgh Castle and made my way down the Royal mile collecting clues for 2 of the multi's. got the co-ords for one of the multis but didn't find the final. i was sure that i had got the co-ords wrong as one of the buildings was partially covered and wasn't sure i'd got the right info! got home and looked at the spoiler! i was there! Just couldn't find it! then went on to try 4 trads! didn't get one find! thankfully there was a DNF by another cacher on one of them! another i went with a pre signed log cos the last log said it was full! had extra hints from the owner cos i'd offered to replace the log and couldn't even get to look for the cache as the resident tramps were occupying the cache site!!! I'm bad but 0/5 is just embarrasing! Got some great pics tho if anyone wants a look! http://picasaweb.google.com/laurafalconer/Edinburgh?authkey=faa_q0_eVEs Can anyone beat my 0/5 in a day? Quote
+TheWilkens Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Coins were shipped out to the people that ordered them yesterday, however there is a problem at Oakcoins with the activation process. I cannot activate a coin I have here so something is up. Once I know it's fixed I'll update you. Thanks! Still have a few left BTW Quote
+TheWilkens Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 okay, now activation is up and running but the coin does not show up on Geocaching.com with a custom icon yet... anyone know if there is usually a lag with this sort of thing? Talk about inept Quote
mitneb Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 okay, now activation is up and running but the coin does not show up on Geocaching.com with a custom icon yet... anyone know if there is usually a lag with this sort of thing? Talk about inept Well, I got my coins from you last week. Very cool. Activated them today with no problem, and viewed one coin's home page, and it shows the smiley icon, so that seems to be working, too. Placed one coin in a new cache this morning in North Idaho, but will have to log the location later. No time now. Thanks for a fun experience. Quote
+TheWilkens Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 Well, we are almost sold out. We are down to 18 Inept Coins left! Quote
