    😛 Does “Opie the Mascot” have an aunt named Bea??? A dad named Andy, and a bumbling deputy friend who goes by the name of Barney??? Does Floyd the barber cut his hair??? 🙄

    There are specially designed bits for drilling through glass, you may want to try one of these on the enamel, then switch to a regular metal bit… If the enamel is on both sides of the coin, I would try drilling the enamel on each side first, then drill the metal… But It’s just a guess… I’ve purchased the glass bits at a local ACE hardware store…

    You may also want to consider a high speed DREMEL type tool, there are numerous types of bits made for these… I use a high speed (30,000 RPM) ROTO-ZIP tool with a carbide or diamond bit for intricate cuts in ceramic tile… There are quite a few options available out there…

    BRAVO!!!

    It seems to me that a few mobile devices with geocaching apps. would be much more reasonable than a full blown bomb squad call out and a better use of tax payer funds…

    A BIG Thank You to the Community Education Committee for being proactive this matter and trying to enlighten area law enforcement… THANK YOU ALL!!! But I gather that once the bomb squad is called the attitude becomes “blow it up, no matter what”… Am I correct???

    in reply to: Beverly (GC28), Cook Co, IL – deer hunting? #1938933

    I did this for my #300 milestone and used Google satellite imagery to locate proper parking ahead of my trip to avoid any hassles… But I had to return to the car for fresh GPSr batteries when it died 3/4 of the way to the cache, so much for preparedness…

    My daughter’s boyfriend just got a job at a pet store and he can’t get an employee discount on Peeves until he passes probation…

    in reply to: Yet another bomb scare… #1938283

    We shouldn’t paint all cops with the same brush, every department has its good and bad people, as referenced by ruaufo1 in his log for my now archived GC2G0Q1…

    in reply to: Pulling caches during hunting season #1938894

    J.D.

    I agree wholeheartedly with you that the number of irresponsible hunters is well less than 50% of the total, but even at 20%, or even 10%, it’s still too “many”… Maybe I misused the the word “many”, where the phrase “a lot of” would’ve sufficed… To me, it’s a waste of time to define the word “many”…

    I’m not trying to knock any responsible sportsman here… We all know that there are a lot of irresponsible cachers, fishermen, hunters, fowlers, cyclists, ATVr’s, campers, off-roaders, boaters, etc. that ruin things for others…

    All that I was trying to say was that we should try to respect the rights of others to enjoy the great out doors, but that there are “a lot of”, maybe not “many”, hunters that think they own the woods and fields for nine days because they carry a Remington 742, or a 12 Ga. Ithaca…

    Respectfully…

    p.s.
    Please don’t doubt that I know many hunters, both responsible and irresponsible…

    I’ve hunted with both types…

    It would be very sad if a Munter??? Mugter??? Huntle??? Ya’ll know what I mean, became suspicious of a cache and the bomb squad was called… Fireworks in November… Lol…

    Seriously… It’s too bad that we have to worry about “Professional Law Enforcement” blowin’ up caches in urban areas, maybe that’s to be expected in these times, but since geocaching began as a wilderness activity why must we also have to worry about fellow “Outdoorsmen” wrecking caches??? I use the term “Outdoorsmen” loosely because although we may cache outdoors year round, many of our fellow “Outdoorsmen” use gun season as an excuse to get away from the “ol lady” and party for one week out of fifty two… Notice… I said “Many”, not “Most” or “All”… Don’t want to overgeneralize do I???

    Greg…

    p.s. I’m also an occasional hunter, Green & Vilas counties, and my daughter is participating in her first gun season this year, Ashland Co.
