+gardengorilla Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) After a long time in the dreaming and a surprisingly short time in the making, thanks to Helen and Chris at Landsharkz, I am pleased and excited to announce my very first personal...Gardengorilla Goes Bush The coin has a definite Australian flair, with a nod to Aboriginal Dreamtime art. It tells the story of some of my caching experiences in Australia. Size: 45mm x 3.0mm thickness. Colours: 5 + 13. Printing 2+1. Trackable at geocaching.com stamped on coin edge. Qty: 250 pcs total. Icon 50 antique copper 50 polished nickel 38 black nickel 12 raised black nickel and recessed polished nickel It is set to ship (fingers crossed) from Hong Kong to me on August 10...Wish me luck! I will be doing trades of personals...all those personals that are trade only that I have missed out on! And I will of course be selling some, not sure of the pricing yet and if I have to adjust my paypal account in order to do this. A Landsharkz only version is also being made so stay tuned!

+Tethys C Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 hummm i was just play'n a vampire game it looks like the spiders that were killing me! Spiders - Okay. Ticks - Bernice, those had better not be ticks on your coin. I HATE ticks. Would rather meet a bear on the trail than a tick. Nasty little things. Later mate. Quote Link to comment

+CUTT4 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Congrats on the coin! Although I am more likely to do an "interesting dance" should I see a tick (city girl learning to love the wilderness and all ... and I am doing better, I don't scream anymore. I now do the get it off me, get it off me dance in a calm and rational manner ) I believe I can make an exception by oooooing and awwwwing over this one. I look forward to seeing the entire coin.
