Tricky little sucker.

Found this little one. TFTCLieb ' s Gruessli #12413

Searched ground lvl to no avail and with lots of strange looks lolDecided to check elsewhere before I headed off and found it. Great cache!

Out in the area to have a coffee & catchup with former work colleague. As I was early I found 2 nearby caches. After coffee decided to find a couple more caches as not in this area very often. Unfortunately the rain bomb hit but I was determined to get this little blighter. Grabbed it & back to car to sign then had to wait a while before replacing as someone was sitting in car nearby. Rain still heavy so decided to head for home. Tftc

CJ3 - tricky little thing

Found it

Oh, upstairs, now I know why I didn't find it last time. It's still tricky. Thanks, 3LG, for the hide

Kinda pushed into pursuing this one today. Ive noted the location and description before, and I keep putting it off because it sounds hard, plus its a busy area. However today Im in this exact neighbourhood with a little time to kill and no other caches to choose from, so in I go. Oh, that wasnt so hard after all! And isnt he cute! (see photo). I think a nano was the best option here. Thanks for this cache LB.

It was hard but if your struggling its in the handle

Em and I spent way longer than we'd like to admit, but once we had our hot little hands on it, we signed the log as "Em + HGT" and moved on. A good hide, TFTC.

Yeow I found it!!! TFTC! Was difficult and after I was about to walk away check elsewhere, I went back and looked in one more place I hadn't and bingo!!! Clever!

Found

EPIC

Climbed the wrong set of stairs initially, but the quick find here made up for that. TFTC

TFTF

Tftf thought it was bitten story

After an extensive search I had to PAF for the find which was just about the the only place I didnt check!Couldn't extract the log as it was jammed in extremely tight so took photo of cache and sent to CO as proof of find.Great hide but Ive had enough of the NaNOs!!

Tftc

A very RaeD find. TFTC

Fun

Great

Found with another Golden Dart Frog.

TFTC

I was hanging with Jimmy as we went out for breakfast and turns out we were 125 metres away from this cache!

We got to GZ and Jimmy made the find in under 20 seconds.

All is well here.

Thanks LìB for this cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3228 on the 28th of June 2023.


CITO's are a brilliant way to help keep our community area's clean. The Earth is our playing field and we need to protect it!

Always be sure to cache the "leave no trace" way!


**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

Omg that was so small keep an eye out for a gap... great hide!

Yay

Thanks to the activity notes and hint this was a quick find

Was on my way home from being up in the Coromandel Valley doing the Linear Park Walk series and I thought I’d stop by and have another crack at this one.
I’d been given a little more information from a previous finder, and believe it or not, I found the little bugger with my first feel.
After 2 previous DNF’s with this one it’s such a relief to turn this in to a oh yeah

And, now for the compulsory nano rant: "Nanos Bloody Nanos! Infuriating to find, infuriating to sign and infuriating to roll. Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who hides Nanos."

TFTC

Tftc...looked and felt lots of grey and silver and green... then got serious enough to find it..

First find for 2023! TFTC

On my way home from Christmas lunch in Marion and I thought it would be an ideal time to find this cache after a previous DNF
Well I was right about one thing and one thing only……it was an ideal time to look, absolutely no one about at all.
You guessed it, I once again failed to find this sneaky little thing
This is proving to be a nemesis cache

Hmmmm up or down? Very thankful it's only 2 levels to chose from. Once the appropriate altitude was determined the cache was quickly in hand. Getting the log book out was another effort but names were scrawled and cache rehidden. Tftc

Found with NiciDanielle. Lots of red boxes. Multi storey element added to the mix. Once in the right position with all that considered, find was easy. TFTC

Found it quickly once I worked out I needed to be higher above sea level! TFTC!

TFTC if you are wondering it’s on the second level

Is it up or is it down
I checked both and no joy

Went and had some lunch nearby, came over to the area to have a see what we can find. Nicely camo’d! TFTC.

Nice walk and find

Found during an afternoon walk around the neighbourhood. This is now one of my closest caches so it was great to get the smiley for it. Took a bit longer than I'd like to admit. I had the right idea, just couldn't see what was right in front of me! Tftc

Finally found it this time

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Today me, my dad and James0116 decided to attempt to finish my D/T grid!

Thank you for maintaining and placing this cache!

We really appreciate your effort!

Tftc - couldn’t get log out but took a photo to prove we found it!

TFTC! Great little hide

Sneaky cache!! Was fun finding this one Fav point for clever location.

I was in the area after dropping my son off at volleyball training. I had an hour to kill so a geocache was in order.

I did a bit of shopping and then went for the cache. A quick find thanks to the helpful hint.

The logbook is getting pretty full, but otherwise the cache is in great condition.

Thanks for the cache 3LG.

Found with Erine14 tftc! The last one I needed for the wonders challenge!

Found in the first place I felt but not the first time I did it haha Alysse found it in the end TFTC

Have seen smaller black ones. Good hide, found first try TFTC

Quick find

Easy find after a shop. Possibly equal in size to the smallest I've found so far. TFTC

Quick easy one, despite having to take my bike up the ramp. TFTC

Maybe the smallest cache we have found yet but found it netherless

Tftc

I have found it at last

Nice little hide. TFTC

Nice hide! All about perspective

TFTC from the Kayakviking!
A quick pick on a quiet area this morning. All depends on your perspective. Cheers

Found with Kayakviking. TFTC

Adelaide Trip Day 4. After a quiet first day in Adelaide, I headed out today for a afternoon of caching. I confined myself to between Unley road and Goodwood road, right down to Greenhill road. I have cached around this area before, and I am impressed at the number of caches in interesting spots that have become available since then. I found thee red boxes, but no nano cache. I will have to try harder.

Thanks.
**Albida**

lots of clues from past logs but no luck

Excellent Nano

Really had to think about this one. Finally took a different perspective on it to find it.

Pretty tricky, but the geokids worked together to find it, which was lucky because I was close to giving up. TFTC

Came past this one the way home from the event near by this morning, this was my third time here and a PAF was used and the cache was quickly found today ,tricky trick tricky. TFTC

Golden poison frog is back in action!

Thanks BratKat for being so prompt, cache available again

It is with much sadness that I say I have found this cache ... I am ashamed to admit that once I found it I promptly lost the lid to the nano. Yes, I am that worst of fools. I do have some nanos at home to replace it: Ms 3LG please put a hold on this one and I will ensure it is done as soon as I can. The logbook is safe and sound.

Out of action waiting on a replacement

TFTC Great placement and a good trick to.

Visiting Adelaide for a few days and lucky enough to be driven around the Unley area by a local cacher and this was one of today’s finds TFTC Chingola from Guernsey

Very easy find with the guidance of Dr Owl TFTC

Ah, the old poison dart frog on a big red box trick! Out early this morning to get a muggle free run at this nemesis. My last two visits had resulted in the dart frog eluding my net, despite thoroughly searching. Last visit I even accidentally sprung the door ajar by my enthusiastic investigations, soz for that. Did some Google Maps study last night and something obvious occurred to me. I learnt something from Freddo's Hello (GC2ZJET) that was cunningly employed here for a happy result. This mornings search for the tiny red damn little sodding darn nano was finally fruitful. No PAFs or CO contact, just repeated visits til the little blighter was found. This confounding nano was pretty much invisible to the eye and fell to the ground when running my fingers around. You certainly didn't empty the can when painting this little fellow 3LG. A nemesis off my list, see, a ripping smiley on my playing board where a teasing green amongst a sea of yellow once was, and another nano conquered. This one was hours of fun 3LG.

nice cache found with phoenixflare

Apparently one needs to look even harder than one did before. My cache sense was right and wrong. Right in terms of the elevation, wrong in terms of the need for maintenance. After the CO had dutifully used the assistance of others, confirming all was well, a second visit to the golden poison dart frog yielded a better result than the first time around. Time definitely spent looking for this blighter... Could it have been better spent? Maybe. Maybe not. At the end of the day, the hunt was fun (third time around...) and with my elder son in tow, it was victory this time. Thanks 3LG for the cache. I'll spare the "dang nano" slap talk as I have too many out in the wild myself! Replaced as found.

Found with scooter11
After a little hint from a previous finder managed to get our hands on the treasure.
Thanks 3LG

TFTC

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Didn’t locate. CO should check

No smiley today

It was a wet morning, but that did not stop us. Out with an Owl, Snake and a Starfish attempting a number of DNF,'s. This was on my DNF list.
It took longer to get the log out than it did to find it. Tftc

Again

Ahh this felt like a nemesis cache for me as this was my local shops, and tried to have a look here/there when I could. Tried to take hints from previous logs to not look too low, but during my initial searches, I couldn't see anything around the pipework. Sigh

Today I was looking around for that darn nano trying to cross out this DNF from my list. Another 5-10 min of looking, and just as I was going to start scanning through historical logs, it hit me. Don't you just love having those waves of inspiration! Had to look some more, and then there it was. Bloody nano! Couldn't retrieve the log, so placed back in its spot.

Argh nanos! Their frustration lies in the search, and even then when found, the difficulty in logging and rolling. Best characterised as that annoying friend that hangs with your bestie!

Visited today. Didn't bother searching, as there are way too many muggles. Will return at a more strategic time.

Found

Thanks we so enjoyed this one Cheers TFTC

Email2 sorry I didn't sign Log as I couldn't get it out

Out and about caching near this area and decided to get this cache. It took a bit to find as I just missed it the first time I looked and felt in the location it was hidden. TFTC.

I searched high and low. Then round and round. Composed a dnf log. Then thought 'hey what the heck, give it one more try'. And what do you know said the very tiny tiny poisonous frog? Found the little rascal. TFTC

Fresh log sheet

Cache # 1497.

What a lovely Saturday morning! I & J and little Immy went to an ice-cream shop in Malvern. On our way back home, we had a short shop near this cache, and managed to find the cache.

This was the second attempt. The first try was about one year ago. Failed, although I thought I searched everywhere, even opened the thing which I do not need to open (I haven't check hint, otherwise I won't do so).

Then at one of the geocaching events, I asked CO about this cache, and was given an extra hint, which was very helpful.

So today, I found the cache fairly easy.

Log sheet is full. I found a tiny gap to write the date and team name on it.

This is little Immy's first traditional cache found~~~

Thanks for the cache, 3LG.

Balmy weather + free lunchour + bike in the city = geocaching! Jumped on the pushy and rode out to this one after reading a few notes to get clues. Went straight to a likely spot and found it within seconds. Jackpot. Felt very lucky as this was a tiny one. Too small to write in log though. Good hide.

found it with snap happy and getnicked. last time I was looking at the wrong " spot ". This time found without to much problem.
