+Woyi and Waya Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Just wanted to show off our new geocoin. I'm fairly new to geocaching and geocoin collecting but am quickly becoming addicted to both! Geocoins in general are so unique and beautiful that I sometimes find myself perusing the forums or websites that sell them just to marvel at the diversity and the artwork. I've come across and moved lots of coins in caches, but these will be the first coins in my personal collection. My boyfriend drew the design himself and originally gave it to me engraved on a necklace as a Christmas present. Its a symbol that represents both of us (hes the wolf and I'm the phoenix). We went with laser engraved coins because they were cheaper and we didn't have to order as many to start (we only got 20). We'll probably have some nicer coins minted in the future using this design or some variation of it. For now I'm just excited to have these coins and I'm ready to start sending them on their travels through the world. Quote
+Woyi and Waya Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you like them Quote
+gardengorilla Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 That is a great personal, congratulations! Quote
sawlog21 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Very nice indeed. My wife would really appreciate something like that. Who made it for you? if you don't mind sharing. Very unique btw. Quote
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Nice job. My first personal travelers were from the same place. I didn't go with the custom design though. I think you'll be very happy with the travels of such a coin. They're not as likely to be stolen. I put each ov mine on a tiny little baggie before sending them loose. Quote
+Mar-elendili Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Your coin design is really great! Of course, I am biased since my couple is also a wolf/bird couple (but I'm the wolf and he's the sparrowhawk!). Our wedding rings (of my own creation) feature the two symbols as well. So yeah, great coin! I wish you plenty of success in life and in geocaching. And I'm looking forward your next designs! Quote
+luckycharmer Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 CONGRATULATIONS - a great looking coin. Quote
+fuzziebear3 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Nice coin, neat idea. I didn't know other couples had this notion ... I am a dophin and he is an eagle ... we soar together, me in the water and him in the air. Quote
+Tha Saint Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Nice looking design. Like Robert, I also had some personal travelers made from the same place last year & were happy with them. I also think they will travel well.. Congrats Quote
+Woyi and Waya Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) Thanks for compliments, I'm glad we got such positive response . It's really neat to see other couples with such lovely themes in their relationships. I wish you all the best! We activated one yesterday and we'll be sending it into the wild some time this weekend. What do you think of its goal? http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TB3FY12 Edited March 23, 2010 by woyiandwaya Quote

+Woyi and Waya Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Oh wow! That's so touching. What a beautiful way to remember her. I'm so very sorry for your loss but I am truly moved by your lovely memorial to her. I hope I am in the area someday so that I can stop by and see it for myself. Quote
sawlog21 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 AM i missing where you had these made? I'm a noobie and think the other half may like something like this to keep her involved. Thanks and sorry if I missed it, just can't find the answer. Quote
+Woyi and Waya Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 i sent you the link via email Quote

I will have to grab that one the next time I'm up that way. Was it a big wedding? Quote
+TwoSox Trekkers Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Gorgeous coins! Would you mind sending me the link as well? We've been toying with getting coins made for months but haven't really gotten serious until recently. Quote
+Woyi and Waya Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 Nice! would love to trade for one. Sure I'd be happy to trade. Please note, they aren't minted coins (they are laser engraved) and they are thinner than regular coins. But if you'd like one just send me an email Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 That's a beautiful design! You should be very proud. I'd love to trade personals if you're still open to trades, too. Nicely done Quote
+wolfslady Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Very nice. I have been thinking about doing a coin that would be engraved only. Would you mind sharing the co that did it with me too. Do you know if they do shapes? Thank you for sharing your design. Quote
