+avroair Posted September 15, 2011 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
+Degai Posted September 15, 2011 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
+ElliPirelli Posted September 15, 2011 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
+Droo Posted September 15, 2011 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
+GoldBugGirl Posted September 15, 2011 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

+LionsLair Posted September 17, 2011 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
+avroair Posted September 17, 2011 Author 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... Yep. The skeletal pirate spins on the wheel.... or vice versa. Quote

+avroair Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 Had a great event! 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
+Degai Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I hope I'm not too late, I've been working on Boy Scout advancement stuff all day and decided to check here and look what I found. Email sent. Forgot to add, too cute!!! Edited September 27, 2011 by Degai Quote
+Ashallond Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 dangit avoir, I need you to move near me. You keep having these really neat events. Quote
+avroair Posted September 27, 2011 Author 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
+manu luq Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Me too! Cool coin! I should have a few available for trade if anyone is interested shoot me an email with a trader list. Thanks for the trade, will direct the rhumb of my pirates! Quote
+germanybert Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I would like one if there are any left. Email sent. Quote
