At this point I am still on the beach looking for a more suitable vessel than the one that was offered yesterday.
I am sorry to hear the post was deleted. I know there is some animosity between them and KOTCT. I am not sure where it sprang from and I don't really care.  I will contact those on the forum whom I think might be interested. People I will never understand that's why I stick to coins.

All WE demand here is YOUR friendship and your return to YOUR forum and castle. No advertising income, few rules and regulations and the right to speak your peace on an equal basis. Make your trades FAIR and be honest. Chivalry at its finest! And, if you are looking for Gods I would suggest going to your favorite church on Sunday. We have none here!
Post counting means nothing here other than the fact they do look good to those who might like numbers. Even though they might look good our hour (time) counter says it all! Looks like I took my last two vacations here? Saved me a bunch of money staying home with you guys! Grin
Yes, we as a group have had opportunities to spend some money here TOGETHER on OUR quests. But no one is REQUIRED at any time to spend one red cent to remain an equal in this castle. The only thing we MUST do is pay for the forum, it's upkeep if needed and domain names (every two years) and we all know how we have done that! Donations, auctions, quest profits and pride in being a Knight or Knightess.
Our moderators have to be the most underworked moderators on the net! While we don't see eye to eye all the time our differences have probably made us stronger as it has opened our eyes to other possibilities.  That would go along with one of my favorite sayings, "A mind is like a parachute! It's not worth a damn until it's open!"
I know at times I might move slower than molasses in winter time but I do manage to get caught up once in a while!  Grin Thank you for being so patient with me!

I think the disagreement is with mom and dad and NO NO NO reconciliation with those two a__holes is possible since they only want to make money money money  Roll Eyes

Ok, this is what I came up with.   The Kelpie didn't really work out as I wanted to try and have a portrait in the design, and the resulting arrangement didn't leave much room.   I'm going to try something I've never done before on a coin, but I think it will work.   I'm planning to incorporate a "dot matrix" image directly into the engraving.   When engraved, the "dots" will be little depressions in the die face (raised on the struck medal).   When combined with polishing on the high points of the die (standard proof-like finish), the image will be revealed when the polished areas reflect dark (with raised dots frosted white).

I'm also expecting to put additional edge lettering on them.   There is a lot of room on the edge and I can use a large font.    Something like "In Memory of Gary Burke, 27 DEC 1942 - 18 MAR 2010".

All very good, love the design and the new dot matrix image sounds interesting.  I hope it works out for you (and us).

One thing I would point out is that the date of Gary's passing is March 18, not 16th.

All I can say is GO FOR IT Daniel! Nothing like being first at anything!  Wink This would absolutely be something to have, hold and cherish for a lifetime. What an honor it is to be a part of this medallion. If the dot matrix works it will put Daniels work on the same level as all the major mints of the world. I have only seen one country turn out such technology and that is the Netherlands. This truly is exciting!

Looking out across the beautiful ocean, the clouds in the sky and our Sir Gary will always be there as another friendship package has reached the beach. I really do like this!
