firefighter8097 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 So i know there is a wants thread for coins but i figured i could get more people’s attention this way. I have decided to ask my girlfriend to marry me! I have seen a coin that has two people kissing on it and says “will you marry me?” Geocaching and hiking are some of our favorite activities, and this summer we will be making a trip out to, what we would both call, our favorite spot on earth. It’s a short hike out to a beautiful cove. So the idea is to place that coin in a new cache with a few other items (like maybe a ring ) and have her find it. That’s my story and my hope is that someone knows the whereabouts of such a coin. It doesn’t have to be new, it can have history and it would be left to journey on its way. If you have any leads please let me know. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Are you sure it was a geocoin? I've never seen one like that. It sounds like something that would have limited appeal and would make more sense as a commercial/commemorative coin from a business. Quote Link to comment

+Red Otter Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I know this isn't the one you are talking about. But, here's a link to an engravable coin at Geocoinshop.de that might work: Link to coin... Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) It exists...even has an icon! There's actually a few in this cache (GCNW0R) and it looks like Stoke made it. Unfortunately it doesn't look like he's logged in since mid last year but maybe he will answer an email from you. Good luck and hope this helps! Edited May 19, 2009 by jho135 Quote Link to comment

There were a few in that cache and i e-mailed each person that had picked one up. I hope someone still has one and is willing to let it travel. Quote Link to comment
+cache_in_hand Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 There is also a "Love and Loyalty" geocoin you might consider as an alternative if you cannot find the one you are seeking. Quote Link to comment
+GeoLobo Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Yes, there is a geocoin (or at least there was an idea to make one) called "Will you marry me!" Which has the following icon. http://www.geocaching.com/images/wpttypes/1514.gif Not sure if the coin is completed yet or not. I have no additional information other than the name and icon in my database. Maybe you can email GC.com and tell them you are interested in finding the coin designer and getting one of these coins. Explain your situation to them and they may divulge who this person is. Good Luck! Edited May 19, 2009 by GeoLobo Quote Link to comment
+larry739 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 What a cool story. Please keep us posted. Quote Link to comment
firefighter8097 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 So... I sent out two e-mails to folks who have had the coins in their possession and they both still have the coins! One has offered to send the coin to me and the other is in WA State with me so I might have a chance to hunt for it! Thanks for the help so far and I will keep you posted with updates. The trip to WA coast and our favorite spot is planned for mid Sept. Quote Link to comment
firefighter8097 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 BUMP Still looking for the coin. Anyone...please... Quote Link to comment
LoriDarlin Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I was thinking you were looking for the NOLEFAN9399 & Kimby J "just married" geocoin. Maybe if you contact him thru gc.com he would either trade you (he is trading them) or might sell one to you... to view this coin go to www.cointracking.com and in the search bar type in JUST MARRIED and the pic will pop up. Good luck and that is sweet you are so romantic towards your sweetie Quote Link to comment

+gardengorilla Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 How exciting! I am watching this thread. I wish you all the luck. Do you know there is a podcacher episode about marriage proposals, etc. I think it may have been a Valentines day episode. It may be of some interest to you.... Quote Link to comment
firefighter8097 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 just an update, i have the coin, i have a ring, and some other things...now i just have to wait for our vacation trip to ask, clock is ticking with less than 2 months to go. Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Congrats! Glad to see you finally got your hands on one of those coins! Quote Link to comment

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 It exists...even has an icon! There's actually a few in this cache (GCNW0R) and it looks like Stoke made it. Unfortunately it doesn't look like he's logged in since mid last year but maybe he will answer an email from you. Good luck and hope this helps! I might venture a guess that he has made a new, joint account, and is still out there somewhere? Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 No Updates??? The OP joined in May 09, and his last visit to the website was in Aug. 09. My guess is the new bride doesn't go geocaching, and is keeping him busy with other stuff. Quote Link to comment
