Having already received a terrific bump on the head elsewhere I decided to entrust the hunt for this cache to Mr. Squalid. He turned up with the goods after a short search. What a lovely old gun, TFTC.

Queenstown to Wanaka today via Cromwell. We grabbed a few caches on the way.We parked up the road and took a walk round the old town and popped over to this one. Aware of the many DNFs but had a look just in case. We did give this a thorough search as there was no one around and would concur that this has likely gone missing. Noting that there has been an OAR and an RAR that has not been acted on by the CO suggests this isn't going to get replaced - we'll add another RAR Tim and Viv - ddm

We are on our long-awaited journey around the world in 99 days. Second try after canceling in 2020.
Our third stop after Los Angeles and Hawaii is New Zealand. ????

This time was of course used to find some geocaches here.
Today we visited Cromwell and while that we were searching for the Traditional **Field Gun**

Thank to the Hints and the good coordinates the little box was found quickly!
After signing the logbook there is a new smile on our geocaching map! ??

At least we would like to take this opportunity to thank central otago hilton for creating and maintaining this Traditional.

Greetings from Nuermberg/Germany
