I am trying to find someone on your side of the Atlantic to trade coins with. I have seen pictures of the UK coin and is very nice. I am interested in trying to get a few of them or any other type of coin from the UK or Europe. I have quite a few to trade from the US and Canada. I also personal coins from several cachers. If you are interested, or know someone that is, please write back.

NickPick Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 It doesn't look like commercial spam being sent to everyone. More like one user looking for someone in the UK to trade coins with. Perhaps a polite reply suggesting he post a message in the UK forum would be in order? Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Or forward his attention to me. Contact through my profile. Sorry you have been bothered with this Stonefisk. Quote Link to comment
+davy boy Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I've just had one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+aRRKS Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yep - we've had the same email. This is looking very much like spam Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Have you looked at his profile, he has 1041 finds, 33 hidden, loads of different Icons. It looks more like a genuine cacher who has sent the same email to several people in a hope to up his numbers and icons. I think the best course of action is to do The Hokesters suggestion. I personaly would have just sent back an email with NickPicks suggestion and not bothered with it being on here. I get an unbelieveable amount of emails from Americans asking for help in one way or another, if it is Geocaching orientated, or something that I have said on the forums or GC.com, then it is legitimate.

+Subarite Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I had one of these and replied to the guy... Andy. Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I had one. I don't collect coins so can't help him out though. I don't see any problem with what he has done. Quote Link to comment

+walkergeoff and wife Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I got one too, and suggested to him that he post something on the UK geocaching forum as being the best way of getting a worthwhile response. I hope that wasn't the wrong thing to do! Regards Geoff Quote Link to comment
