+TeamEccs21 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Congrats to everyone who found one of these great looking coins. Since we were at the GeoCoin Midnight Madness event we went through our backpack with high hopes but without finding a turtle coin. Maybe next time. Quote Link to comment
+Degai Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Congats to MustangJoni, Toojin and The Moop Along for receiving those wonderful mystery turtle Geocoins. . .They couldn't have gone to a nicer group of people! Again. . .another kind and generous mystery coiner! Congrats to you for your wonderful design and generosity. And Kat. . .thanks for saving many of us the time and effort in finding out what the translation was on the back of the coin. BTW, do you ever sleep? Quote Link to comment
+AlliedOz Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Turtles, you have to be in awe of them, they are just so "Nature" there is nothing sharp and aggressive about them the way they move and just get on with it.. But then if you give them a chance... Below is a picture of my daughter at a touch pool in the Bali Safari park in Indonesia, about 30 seconds after this picture was taken there was a almighty wail that had staff running from all directions (it might have had something to do with the Piranha tank next to the turtle exhibit hehe) It seems she had been patting it and drew her hand a little too close to the head and he lent his head back and she was not quick enough to escape a "SNAP" it only just broke the skin but you would have thought she had lost a finger from the carry on hehe The staff were very good, and did everything you need to do considering the risks from some turtles and bacteria. Just thought I would share how we used to love turtles, Ok we still do as it gives us much joy to reminder her about it all the time. Much to her disgust. Great pic You should post that on the tsun FB page I like the pin on her hat too! More pics of the coins! Believe it or not I missed the Pin-->Turtle-->Geocaching connection, she has worn it for so long it is a part of her. Quote Link to comment
Firefly03 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Wow, sweet looking coin. Looks like I need to update the mystery coin spreadsheet. CONGRATS to all who have found this cute little coin. Quote Link to comment

+The Moop Along Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I just noticed that the front of the "shell" actually says something too. I think it reads Geo Honu. Anyone else see those words? TMA Quote Link to comment

+wolfslady Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 So funny I thought it said Geo Pond when I first looked at it. Nice to learn a new word today. I was hoping to see a picture of the green one (I heard right that one was green enamal right?) too. They both look great. I'm not sure which I like better. Quote Link to comment
chai_latte Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 We were down at the Midnight Madness Geocoin event earlier, and we found this coin slipped under our door. Has anybody seen anything like this? very cute - congrats!! Quote Link to comment

+anne.and.eli Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 As I sat around trading things at the Meet and Greet today before GCF, I picked up my box of traders. I only had a few types, so I was showing them what I had. I grabbed one of my Li'l Dreamer coins, and pulled it out of the box except..it was a geohonu!!!! I was so shocked!! It is the gold and green one, and it's so gorgeous!!! I immediately showed it off to Vanelle and we both proceeded to squee (there's no other word that really describes what we did other than that) over the coin. Thank you SO MUCH mystery coin person!!! It put a huge smile on my face!! Quote Link to comment

Hope the turtle will swimm to Amsterdam, he will meet here a lot of his friends. I love how the colors are so vivid in this coin.... maybe because I am very partial to green. The simple designs.... errr let me rephrase that.... the less intricate/ less ornate designs appeal to me the most. I just love the look. And the coin looks very smooth.... much like the look that sea glass gets over time. This is probably my favorite design for a shaped coin. Kudos to the mystery designer!

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 We got back to our room after the poker game at GCF this evening - and I couldn't find my purse, so tipped my whole bag out onto the bed. A Geo Honu turtle was right there among all my stuff!! Neither Kaz nor I have any idea how this cute little coin got there, or when even! It's gorgeous, and I would like to sincerely thank whoever the kind person was who gave it to me - your kindness is much appreciated and will certainly be a grand memory of the fantastic time we've had at GCF. Today has been amazing, in fact the past few days have been wonderful, so many friendly people and lots of coin and pathtag trading! Brilliant. And yes, I found my purse amongst all my stuff!
