Geocache Bandit Mystery Geocoin


The Amigos

Recommended Posts

Well guys and gals.

 

I had an amazing surprise too. I have relocated from Africa to the Middle East - and went back to Joburg o0n a business trip. I collected my mail and BANG - there was a bandit geocoin included.

 

I don't know who to thank - but it is stunning.

 

To keep in the spirit of the coin - I passed it on to the next cacher I met up with - Cincol - who now has it in Qatar. So it travelled to South Africa - thyen to the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) and is now sitting in Qatar (Doha).

 

Thnak you for an amazing surprise and blessing. May you be blessed as you have blessed.

WOW what a terrific looking coin <_< I am amazed at how generous some people can be in spreading cheer around the world, although I certainly understand why such a coin would find its way into Write Shop Robert's mailbox! :ph34r:

 

I second that post.

 

I need to figure out how to get into the good graces of Mystery senders - but I guess that will remain a mystery for a while. Very cool looking coin.

Well, it is my day off and for once went out to meet the mailman so I could wish him a Happy Holidays. Much to my surprise He handed me a black mailer along with my mail. Just thought it was something I recently ordered. I looked, double looked and much to my surprise there was the Geo-Bandit's return address and a Geo-Bandit stamp (How Kool) . I let out a loud WOOO HOOO! I new what was inside. Ran in the house and nearly feel fell on the ice. I opened it up once inside and there it was. An amazing coin to say the least. Geo-Bandit you really do send smiles. :) Thank you so much! Have yourself a Happy Holidays where ever you are.

 

BTW I recieved #104 for those keeping track.

So I have been alittle bummed because I only have Christmas Eve and New Years Day off between now and the new year. It is cold (-1, WC -20) and snowy (30+ inches in December and more on the way). I check the mail and I see a black mailer among the bills and junk. I throw everything else aside and get the sissors. I open the mailer and out falls the Geo_Bandit coin. I am smiling from ear to ear. This is a great early present to recieve this time of year. Thank you Geo_Bandit for raising my spirits. Our coin is #60.

Hi,

Received one of these a few weeks ago.

I wasn't expecting this at all.

That was a huge surprised since I haven't post on the forum for a few months.

Thanks you very much the geo_bandit.

 

Congrats SecretChief for being roped! Now I know there is hope to be a receiver of that cool coin even in Canada :)

 

Merry Christmas to the Geocache Bandit and to everyone! :laughing:

My wife walked in after work today with that "look" on her face. "What coin did you buy now!!" Oh oh, think fast. Did I order a coin and forget to tell her? I don't think so. She says it's in a pretty cool package, all black with a custom stamp that says "GEO_BANDIT". "NO WAY!!", I say. "That's a mystery coin!!"

 

Thank you so much Geo Bandit for the awesome gift. I am now the proud owner of number 56 (green and yellow). What an awesome coin :laughing:

Wow! ALL of our mail for 2 weeks arrived today since we were visiting our daughter up in the COLD northeast for the holidays---New Hampshire. Several Christmas cards, junk mail, bills and a BLACK ENVELOPE! I knew what it meant since my other daughter (j2garnett) received one in the mail already. I am the happy recipient of a GeoBandit Mystery Coin!! Thank you. It will be added to my special collection of coins that have been given to me! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and have a safe caching 2009! #143

I was blessed with one of these beauties. I will get the number for you later. Just want to post and say a big THANK YOU to the sender

 

:) I'm so glad you scored one bluecherry, after having to get rid of some of your coin collection recently. The Geo_bandit is watching and has a good heart, well done.

Congrats to you DJ.J.ROCK on getting 'roped in'!!!

 

I too have been watching this thread and it looked as though the bandit stopped for a while and I thought maybe there were none left. I guess the bandit just took a little needed vacation and is now back at work making people smile and jump for joy!

When I walked out to my mailbox a few minutes ago, I wasn't expecting anything special to be sitting in it. So imagine my surprise when I feel a bubble envelope. I have been away from geocoins and the forums for months, so why would I possibly be receiving a geocoin? Wait, is this envelope black? Is that a cool custom stamp I see? It can't be! I've been roped in! I am now the proud owner of #211!

 

Thanks so much Geo_Bandit for this amazing coin! This surprise has really made my day! When I stopped reading this forum, this thread was only on it's second page! You are truly a very generous person! Congrats to everyone else has been roped in! Yeeehaw!

After a couple of hours freezing our arses off, but needing a quick caching fix this afternoon, we came home and grabbed the mail out of the box. I handed the pile to Nanette, but noticed an all-black bubble mailer in there. I took one look at it, the custom stamp, and the return address, and said "that's a mystery coin!" I opened it as soon as we got in from the cold, and thanks to G.Bandit of Sunnyvale, CA, we now have an awesome coin to add to our album (which should be arriving any day now). Thanks so much for this very, very neat collectible!

 

P.S. - It's # 099.

I wonder how the person mailing them is getting people's mailing addresses.

After tearing a muscle in my lower back earlier this week, then having my company car not start this morning and having to wake Johnslady56 at 5:30am to drive me to work, then having my network connection at work fail mutliple times today and having way too many unhappy customers I was not looking forward to whatever else was going to be thrown at me today.

 

Diana (Johnslady56) came to pick me up at work and brought the mail along with her. Mixed into everything I saw the corner of a shiny black mailer!!! Could it be?!?! Or is she just messing with me?!?!

 

I snatched the mailer from the stack and sure enough, the telltale Geo_Bandit stamp is affixed to the shiny black 'puffie'!!! I could barely contain myself, and had to open it right then and there!!! Diana didn't seem to know why I was so excited about this simple black puffie, until I showed her what it contained and then it hit her; WE had been blessed with a Geo-Bandit coin!!! And by WE I mean the both of us as it was addressed to us both...

 

I don't know how you do it Bandit, but you must have second sight. I had been having a rotten, terrible, painful week and then to finish it off with this gift, I just can't seem to find the words...

 

How can I thank someone for something as special as this, and for it to arrive at just the right time? I will have to think of someway to spread my happiness...

 

THANK YOU Geo-Bandit! For making my week end on such a fantastic note!!! This coin will forever remain in our collection. I guess we will have to find some way to share it, maybe alternate weeks, or odd and even days...

 

GeoBanditCoin.jpg

 

And for the record we received coin #175
