+NOSNOW Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Here is a quick coin test for an AC Hop Along Shadow Geocoin As many of you may know, Shadow likes to send out cards. He has just sent out his latest one. As you can see he has visions of some of the places that we visited on our trip to GCF 2011 EU. To win this coin, be the first person to name the 10 locations. You can name the city or the GC number of the cache that is nearby where the picture was taken. If by Sunday night (Oct 9) no one has named all 10 locations, the first entry with the most correct answers will win the coin. Any post with edits will be ineligible. One post per hour per nick name.

+NOSNOW Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 First hint: The picture with the country signs is not in Germany. This was a question from one of the recipient of the card. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 not sure at all... but I made a first list... with a hope.... Southwest England, Stonehenge (United Kingdom) Copenhagen (Denmark) Lucerne (Switzerland) Prage (Czech Republic) Vaduz, Liechtenstein (the cache 2 Brucker Cache) Eartern England, close to Peterborough (cache Wellingtonia) Como Italy? the lake? Luxemburg (the one and only cache GCA329)??? Voralberg (Austria) while I was searching... I saw one of your photos (if I remember well it was Shadow's friend...) holding some rocks.... I saw the rocks and they are cut strangly.. some look like... prehistoric tools! of course I do not know if they are or not... Quote Link to comment
+steben6 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Next guess (a couple of them are really wild guesses) Stonehenge, Amesbury, England GCA68D Copenhagen GCR5F6 Lucerne GC203EY Como GC1ZRM2 Limberg, Netherlands GC2YQRE Prague GC6F37 London GC4E4B Kiischpelt, Luxembourg GCA329 Vaduz, Liechtenstein GCQ1QE Vorarlberg, Austria GC12A1P Quote Link to comment

I saw the rocks and they are cut strangly.. some look like... prehistoric tools! of course I do not know if they are or not... Those were for GC26JK5, The River Thames - Rocks on the River Bed, a very neat earth cache in London. I don't think we had any that were tools, we just grabed random rocks, but that type of rock were used for tools. I would recomend doing that earth cache if you ever near by at the correct time. If your not there at the correct time, you may need scuba gear. Quote Link to comment
+Kameharem Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I will give it a go: 1. Vaduz - GCQ1QE 2. Copenhagen - GCR5F6 3. Prague - GC6F37 4. West Amesbury - GC1ANET 5. Lucerne - GC203EY 6. Limberg - GCZYQRE 7. Voralberg - GC12A1P 8. London - GC26JK5 9. Michelmersh - GC200C9 10. Petersborough - GC1DD46 Good luck to everyone and thanks for the cointest. k Quote Link to comment

If your not there at the correct time, you may need scuba gear. so the water is high or low... according to the time! Well... sometimes you can not recognize which were used as tools and which not.... I have seen photos but I can not say I can recognize them if I see any in a field...! Sometimes these are pieces that were cut from a bigger rock, while ancients were trying to make the tools... so they are not tools but the left overs... which are very interesting things for archeologists too! some look like Flintstones.. not the family! :laughing: I read once that arceologists found a road that was full of rock axes from the prehistoric times! people didn;t know what these were and used them to make the path... the road! huh!!! If I remember well... they found 3000 or 5000 axes made or rock! WOW! I hope you kept some of these rocks as souvenirs! Quote Link to comment

+NOSNOW Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 I thought this would be done, by now. But I guess a couple of the pictures do not give to much detail. Hint 2. We were at Lake Como, that is where Shadow's Friend took her fall. Shadow would not tease her by placing a picture of that on his card. Bonus hint. We had a great time in Petersburg! We visited and had a pint or two with The Klever Boys. We even did some caching, but Shadow did not include any pictures on his card. Quote Link to comment

+pingos Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Many thanks for the cointest. I had a lot of fun last weekend. The weather was very bad , so searches for caches inside was fun! Quote Link to comment

Thank you very much for this great coin. When my personal geocoin is ready I will organize my own cointest. Quote Link to comment
+Fianccetto Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 So cool that you were near Peterborough/Cambridge. Stephen and I met in the Air Force when I was stationed at Alconbury and he was stationed at Molesworth. We lived in Huntington. Loved it there! I met my husband (also a Steven) in Cambridge, and we were married there. I grew up near Peterborough ..and we lived in St Ives (near Huntingdon) for a while as well. Glad you enjoyed living in the area. Gatoulis - yes, they are flints in the picture. It is a very common rock of the area, in fact in a lot of East Anglia it is the only rock to be found. As such, flints were used there as cobble stones a lot for old pavements. Also they are used as decoration and building materials in churches from 11th century. (There are many examples in Norfolk with uncut round towers made with flint.) Later flints were cut (or "knapped") to show their glassy grey interior and used with transported dressed stones at the corners of square towers. Thanks for the cointest, No Snow, sorry I missed it! (I would have had no idea about those photos - it is interesting to find out about places in this way.) Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 the bunny coin came today.... thank you soooo much!!! what a lovely coin!!! and loved the bunny dasign and the carots! excellent coin!!! WOW!!! thank you my friend!!! Quote Link to comment
