+Fianccetto Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm just going to make a massive leap/assumption based on some aspect of a coin and locality, throw in a few small extras and hope for the best! Quote Link to comment
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Don't worry if it's difficult to get a coin that the person is looking for.. some people have very specific hard to find want lists.. mainly because they have been collecting for so long! If you can find a type of coin that fits something that they enjoy outside of geocaching I'm sure they'll enjoy the mission you put together. :-) Remember it's about creativity so if you have to be creative and find something that isn't on their want list that's ok! I don't think anyone in this mission will be upset if you can't find a coin they need. Quote Link to comment
+Fianccetto Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm just going to make a massive leap/assumption based on some aspect of a coin and locality, throw in a few small extras and hope for the best! Thanks sheltiedoglover, am sure you are right! Just want to make sure I am sending stuff someone actually wants, or at least they can use or even good to swap! Read a bit more and ordered a coin I thought they might like, then actually managed to order one on the want list, so that's alright! It will still be a risky twist on an aspect of the coin while including the other bits and bobs though. Maybe I should adopt keewee's approach and think up something really wicked. (nah, too much like hard work! ) Quote Link to comment

+fuzziebear3 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well my first idea didn't work out, as I didn't win on eBay. So now I have another bid in for a different one, or I have a selection from my collection picked out if I happen to fail again. Quote Link to comment
+Fianccetto Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've been in a creative mood today and am quite pleased with the results. I could develop my idea further to make some cool signature items and something else which ties into the coin perfectly, but they wouldn't be ready for some time yet - maybe some weeks (I wouldn't be in control of when they would be ready, as I borrow equipment for this.) So Question 1...Is it OK to make someone else some signature items (when they don't have a say in the design) or is that considered to be bad geocaching etiquette in some way? I am fairly certain they will like the design, as it is based a bit on a small part of the one they use already. And Question 2...Is it OK to hold up sending my mission out, by a few (more) weeks, on top of overseas postage? Quote Link to comment

On point 2 - I would think it could wait a little bit ... but not too long. I guess it depends on how long it would really take. I think a lot of people are still getting things together for this mission, so it might not be too bad. But when you start seeing that everyone else is sending and starting to recieve, then it better be getting into the mail pretty quick at that point. Quote Link to comment
