avroair Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 So I have been working on two coins with Chris Mackey (Fox and the Hound) for a little under a year. The first is for an event, with an extra version being sold on geoswag. Presentin, the Idylwood Pirate Spinner! Trackable: Yes Unique Icon: Yes Spins: Heck Yes! The coin is based on two dies with a ship's wheel forming the base and the skeletal pirate providing the spinning component! Deatailing only Mackey can provide! Quote Link to comment

+Degai Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Wow! This is a beautiful design and I would love to add this coin to my collection. It is totally awesome! Besides, I have a weakness for pirate things. Quote Link to comment
+ElliPirelli Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Some say, I have a faible for so called 'girls coins'. Well, this is a real boy coin. And one of the few must haves of boy coins for sure! Whoa, what a beauty! I'll hope to get my hands on one of those! Quote Link to comment

+Droo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Shoot, I may have to come out of geocoin retirement for this one. Wait, it's only available at the event... phew, that was close, my retirement is safe. Quote Link to comment
+GoldBugGirl Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Shoot, I may have to come out of geocoin retirement for this one. Wait, it's only available at the event... phew, that was close, my retirement is safe. No such luck, Droo: ,,,,The first is for an event, with an extra version being sold on geoswag. With Avroair & Mackey teaming up, I don't think anyone's retirement or even Christmas fund is safe--we'll be lucky to get our utility bills paid! Quote Link to comment

+LionsLair Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 What's the spinning part? I'm not positive and only taking a guess here, but it looks like the ships wheel spins behind the pirate image... or vice versa... Quote Link to comment

I have some extra Pirate Spinner event coins (about a handful), if anyone is interested, I am doing something slightly different and selling them with a trackable pirate bear (trackable coin + trackable bear) for $25.00 shipped. The proceeds will help pay the remainder of the costs for my event. The coin: The trackable pirate bear and tag: The whole crew: If interested email me: Name: Address: email: Bear color choices 1st, 2nd, 3rd (if I don't have enough of a color then I will provide you with the second or third choice), if you don't care then state that. Colors available: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple First come, first served. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) dangit avoir, I need you to move near me. You keep having these really neat events. I already moved across country! Thanks to those who ordered, still have a few left. Here's some event pics: We had a pirate ferry, taking attendees to two 5-star caches in the middle of the lake: Young crew members strolling in a ship! Coins, tags and bears... and a message in a bottle craft travel bug. Event page Next year we are working on having the event a true 5 star terrain --- on board two battling pirate ships (the ones they used in Pirates movie)! Maybe during the Groundspeak block party weekend or near then. Edited September 27, 2011 by avroair Quote Link to comment
