+kini_ont Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 i did pick this up over the weekend for the dog park...possibly a geocache container, definitely a place for the dogs to "go" when the park comes to be. ILYK Ah vintage ..... that was a good year Quote
+Nomesquad Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 That's very cool! Looking forward to a trade when your coins are ready Quote
+Doctor A Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 What a cool fire hydrant- it'll be great in the park! Quote
+drneal Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 i received a couple of e-mails asking about the coins...at least another 3 weeks...i'm sure the minter will inspect each coin for defects before shipping them to me. in the mean time, a teaser... ILYK Quote

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Beautiful! Please add me to the "desperately seeking" list. Quote
+drneal Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 i'm sorry to say that the remakes of the coins that i received yesterday, had some of the same problems as the first batch...the people i purchased the coins through have gone well out of their way to help in the manufacture of the coins, but the first group they talked with in china refused to return their e-mails concerning the coins, the 2nd company seems to have problems with enamaling. as such, if anyone knows of a manufacturer (i hear rumors of a group in germany,) that does not make use of the big 3 in china, please contact me. for those holding trades for me (this is why i chose not to start trading until the coins are in hand,) my apologies, but at this point i'm not sure when or if the coins will be made. ILYK Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Very sorry to hear this news. I wanted to trade at the Bash. It's a beautiful coin! Quote

+Degai Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Wow! I haven't been here in so long! I am so glad I got here to see your Kathy, too, geocoin. It's beautiful and your story makes it even more so! I cannot wait until you have them in hand. I am sure I don't have anything to trade with you now, but I would certainly like to have one. I am in the process of figuring out a new personal coin, so I hope you will save a trade for me when I get something to trade. Quote
+drneal Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 i received a note through my profile today concerning Kathy's Coin Too...i was very touched by the e-mail and wanted to share... Just a quick message - I posted a question on the Geocoin forum and then had a quick browse through other posts and ended up reading through the "Kathy's Coin Too" thread. I'm in no way a regular in the forum and don't know the back-story but was really touched by your work on the coin and the quotations. I'm not really religious, don't go to churches but do like to think there is something beyond this life and that it is somewhere we can share with our loved ones and that would definitely include my dogs, past and present! . samples of the coin will hopefully be on their way to me sometime around the end of september... ILYK Quote
+JoenGPS Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 samples of the coin will hopefully be on their way to me sometime around the end of september... We hope this round goes perfectly smooth for you... Quote
