+Lydford Locators Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Congratulations to you both - we didn't have a phone call today so guess we didn't win anything. Quote
+Pieman Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) £500 Superbreak holiday vouchers for me! I also thought an email headed "Congratulations" was spam. Edited October 16, 2008 by Pieman Quote
+mollyjak Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 It will be let go Stuey Just we are still having problems with coins/TBs being 'swapped' and imitations being put out in their place. Eclectic Penguin posted quite a lot about it before. Now 2 of our coins have gone and replaced one with a bit of stone and the other with a rectangle of metal. Only luck and a good cacher who returned one of them to me has brought this to light!!! There was a LONG note attached to the coin which is VERY creepy as there is info on it which is personal to me ( and some totally made up) but enough actual info to show they know me/us from the S Wales cachers and consequently is a bit frightening!!!! I picked up 8 coins in our recent meet and NONE of them will be placed in caches close by but will place them further away to try to keep them safe. As well as 3 of our caches having gone within the last few months - may be coincidence but still expensive Thanks for the good wishes Quote

+currykev Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) Congratulations to Mollyjak, lgxkls and Pieman too. Although I'm a little surprised I won nout.

Especially as I collected at least 25% of the coins within the M25. EDIT: apologies.after a recount it was only 22% I guess rule 5 may have worked. I wonder how many within the M25 went without Well done to the winners.. The coins where free as where the prizes. In fact a good heads up to Garmin.. Well done and thanks from the UK Caching community. Quote
