Moun10Bike Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I received an image of the prototype for my new geocoin design tonight from my supplier: The final coins may differ somewhat from what you see here (including metal color), but it should be close. There will be a special feature to the new coins (not seen in this image) that I hope will make them even more fun to obtain. I'll reveal that feature in a couple weeks when I get the final coins.

+RocketMan Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I hope that one of your new coins makes it down San Diego way. I was lucky to find one of your old coins down here. RM Quote Link to comment

+The Navigatorz Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) Moun10bike, I want to grab the first one released, so give me advanced notice of the following: Which cache it will be placed in, what date, and the exact time. I'll be waiting at the cache site when you arrive. But with my luck, you'll put it in a cache down in a deep crevace on top of Mt. Rainier.

+Captain Morgan Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I hope that one of your new coins makes it down San Diego way. I hope that any of your coins, either old or new, will find their way to Finland. So far the geocoins are extremely rare. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Looking good. I hope to find one. Quote Link to comment
Tenniskid Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I better get one of these, ill do almost anything (to extreme) to get one. I missed out on 3 of the origionals by minutes! Drats, ill be prayin ps, they are pretty (hansome, beautiful, etc...) Quote Link to comment
+runhills Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) WOW! Just what I need, another challenge to chase! They look great! Edited January 15, 2004 by runhills Quote Link to comment
+vds Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Too nice. I might have a work trip to NW Germany coming up around Feb-10 if you want me to move one to Europe for you. You could give me two, but in that event likely only one would successfully make it out of Washington :-) Quote Link to comment
+GEM's Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Love Wilhelm's quote regarding God's Creation! Great work Jon! Quote Link to comment
+Bull Moose Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Well, I have a new goal for summer: To get one of those bad boys. Quote Link to comment
+Pepper Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 M10B they are just beautiful! I too have now set a new goal for myself since I can no longer get any FTF because of that TIAG GIRL I can now focus on a M10B COIN! Pepper Quote Link to comment

I'll scale a mountain for one of those coins! Off trail even!! Well crap, if EGH is going after them we're all doomed. The next time we go hiking, I'm going to have to do a Tonya Harding on your knees to make it fair.... Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I'll scale a mountain for one of those coins I did climb a mountain for one of the originals! Of course, I left an Oregon Geocoin that was claimed by EGH himself. I'd do it again for an M10B II. Those are very nice Jon. Folks, don't forget when you take one of these coins that a used golf ball or a McToy is not an even trade Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks for the kind words on the design, everybody! I hope to make it worthwhile to find these coins. I also hope to be able to get some placed in more areas outside of the Northwest. Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Folks, don't forget when you take one of these coins that a used golf ball or a McToy is not an even trade Right now, I can't think of anything in my swag bag that would even come close to trading up! Maybe I could leave my car....that'd be close. Quote Link to comment
+Ish-n-Isha Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Your design is wonderful. Superior to your first one. Excellent. Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I should check in more often! WOW! Those are gorgous! Your going to lose a lot of those to finders keepers. (Me included). Are they trackable? Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Also love the quote!! Quote Link to comment
+GO West Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Nice! Any chance you'll leave one in an urban micro, say in downtown Seattle? Quote Link to comment
MarcusArelius Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Very nice Jon! Hey I think I know a way to make people volunteer for those WSGA positions. Quote Link to comment
+Happy Gillmore Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Jon, great coin! I have a really good cache on a great bike trail right by my house. I could help you place one there Quote Link to comment
+k7-wave Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I didn't think the originals would ever be equalled. But this new design is a cut above...magnificent! Something tells me my NW Forest Pass is going to get alot of use when it warms up, trying to get my hands on one! Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Are they trackable? The good news is that Jeremy offered to let me continue tracking them through the web site like they have always been! Cross your fingers that he still feels that way once they arrive! Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Any chance you'll leave one in an urban micro, say in downtown Seattle? Well, I tend to favor hikes and views, but if the urban micro blows my socks off, I just might! Quote Link to comment
FISUR Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Sweet! Did you use the same supplier as last time? Quote Link to comment
0800peter Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Great design !! At least a single one in Germany please. Send a mail to me and it would be a pleasure for me to place a geocoin in "ZEN and the art of geocaching" N48°48.0 E8°44.0 or any cache of your choice in south west germany. Quote Link to comment
+Turtletrax Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Jon - I blew the picture way up, and I saw what looks like some empty Keystone Light cans up there on Mt Roothan. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Sweet! Did you use the same supplier as last time? Thanks! Yep, I went with D & R Military Specialties again. I really like their customer service. Quote Link to comment

+pdxmarathonman Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I am guessing that if you looked at some old logs for The Contact Cache you'd get a pretty good idea of what Tungsten is talking about Quote Link to comment

Moun10Bike Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Still no coins yet - hopefully this week! Quote Link to comment
+George501949 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 No begging here, how much for one of those coins? LOL Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 George, you'll just have to be willing to climb a mountain (or wherever I've hidden one)! (Actually, I think putting up with me in your car during the entire Victoria Cache Machine probably entitles you to one! ) Quote Link to comment
