It came in the snail-mail!

[2oldfarts (the rockhounders)]

We received a surprise in the snail-mail last night.

 

 

 

 

It was well worth waiting for! This was the 2nd place winning Prize from the Benchmark Bingo Contest that Geo Trailblazer ran.

 

Thank you very much, Geo!

get rid of the picture quick....u left the tracking number on there.

 

It has not been activated and we don't plan on releasing it!!

 

Any guess how long it would last before it came up missing?

I would still remove it to be safe but that's up to you. Someone that has a similar coin could activate it on you. A lot of times the activation codes are all the same for certain coin series.

We received ours in the mail also.

 

It's really nice.

 

We're not putting ours in a cache either. It would get swiped really fast.

We have lesser ones that have gone missing.

 

THANKS GEO....very cool.

..about 2 days. That's how long it took mine to go missing. I of course ordered 2 so I'd have one for myself!

[AZcachemeister]

I received mine yesterday!

 

In the box with the coin was this strange benchmark disk thingy.

 

Anyone remember the movie 'Twins' starring Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger?

 

 

I'll not be letting that coin out of MY sight!

[+GEO*Trailblazer 1]

I can name all of you on that coin.

 

Lets see if anyone can guess who they are.

 

Top

Who is that atop????

Atop what?

 

Lets see who is the second from the top??

 

Who is that struggling up the mountain??

 

Who tore their pants??

 

And there are some others....you gotta help

 

And me I just stragglin behind.

 

I am glad you like them and I wish I could do more for everyone that was in the contest.

Intriguing to say the least.

 

We don't know on top of what, but we do know it is not "VEX".

 

We know whom it was that tore their pants and still kept on recovering those shiny disks.

 

But as to who the rest are, we are at a loss. Maybe AZ C at the top since he placed 1st? Then it would follow, the top down is how they placed in the contest? Just maybe?

 

Geo - you are special!

Top dog.lead man head geodisist.

My mentor Mr. DaveD is atop.

Holding up the GEOCAC project flag of the Good Ole USA.

 

In a modern sense it is the Washington Monument he is atop of.

 

Then It could be anyone who is on top of the World with this type of game we play.

 

Now come on you all can think of some old stories that have long passed that would make each one stand out.

A very good geocaching friend of mine gave me one of those coins in gold for my 40th birthday. He thought it perfect for me since I work in land surveying. I, too will never let it out of my sight.
