No luck today. A hint might help as too many places for micro to hide and don't want to mess up plants.
Marking dnf. I think I found it but not 100% confident that is actually it. CO please confirm. I found the "handle" but there was nothing attached.
After lunch with T-Tech I stopped to collect a few caches.
Surprisingly I found a great parking spot, and had a leisurely wander around to GZ. I searched all over the place and couldn't find anything, so called in a PAF who directed me a little further away. Yep, that's a great spot to hide something and I can see how it was placed, but the CO might like to check on it. TFTC, Fitzengruben.

Same issues as previous finders here. Could use some TLC from the CO. No log to add my name to. Photo of what I assume is the cache available if needed.
I found what I believe to be the remnants of the cache. I checked through the logs and it fitted the description of a clever hide and original construction. I have a photo if the CO wants.
There was no log to sign.
Thanks Fitzengruben, let me know if you want a photo.

Pretty sure I found it; about 10 mtrs from GZ, a very damp log & watch them buses!T4TC
A unique spot for a well-crafted cache.
I looked in a few spots I probably shouldn’t’ve until I got more ‘long-term’ minded about the cache.
TFTC!

What a great cache! Definitely worth a FP. Sour_Lemom and I returned here after a previous DNF, and were hoping to find it today. Luck was on our side!! The GPS is out by a couple metres, but we took a hint in another log way to literally. We recollected, put our heads together, and the cache was quickly retrieved! Thanks for the great cache, log is a bit damp but still singable. TFTC!
TFTC. Awesome find. Tricky hide that is sure to seem pretty NORMAL. Good luck cachers!
Out with Brislions, finding a few caches. This was my third time here. I searched everywhere I had searched before, without luck. I was reading a few logs while Brislions made a PAF. Hmmmm.....seems the coords on this one are 9-10m out! Starting in an area about that distance from GZ, I was soon able to find the cache. We added our names tot he log, returned the cache as found, then continued on our way. TFTC
Out today with Selva Girls chasing caches for D/T grid and few other we Did a Adventure Lab with 5 waypoint
3 mystery, 2 Earthcache and 4 Traditional. We had a great day out. Had some help with some of these caches. We did walk this way and did walk that way but finally Selva Girls did find it. Yippee
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. TFTC *500* streak. *2977* Finds

We had no luck today even though we spent ages searching. We will definitely be coming back for another look!
Sneaky little spot made me wonder "that couldn't be it...." Thanks for the cache! - Wilbo
Well, this was an interesting one. The location is fully legit and the hide well constructed and placed and still it was one of those where before entering the GZ you get that "am I really going to go there?" feeling. But only those who play will win - so in I went. That is, after checking when the next buses are likely to whizz past, of course. Google Maps is good for that, too.
Following hints in earlier logs, I focused my search to a specific area. Nothing there but widening the area a little led me to see something that had this "what's that doing there looking like that?" scent to it. Checking it out revealed a container. What do you know...
The log sheet is a little damp but otherwise things are all good here. TFTC, Fitzengruben!

Headed south early to try and find a few caches before the big gaseous ball in the sky made outdoor activities unpleasant.
Hmm now there's a challenge. A tricky hide with dubious coords, buses zooming past, and a request to exercise discretion! Quite the ask. In the end I was able to accommodate and made the find. Clever hide

While my husband was playing golf I decided to take my bike here to check out the track. At gz I walked around in circles, then read some logs, then walked around in circles until I spotted this clever cache. Love it so much I'm going to give it a fp. Thanks for the taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy
An evening drive in the brand new work car tonight.
This was the easiest cache for me tonight, my gps was a few meters out but it caught my eye anyway.
Thank you for this cache

Out for a walk and decided to see if there were any caches around. Came across this little beauty. Points for the camouflage! Needed to expand the radius from the GZ just a little. No pen so didn’t mark the log, will have to come back for that. TFTC!
Looked for a little while with this one and just as the first droplet of h20 fell from the sky I spotted the cache, nice hide and tftc
On the hunt today on my quest to find enough caches to qualify for the latest Mystery at The Museum souvenirs. I had finished the hard work with the gems and was now accumulating the last tally of caches.
After finding a parking spot some distance away, a short stroll in the sunshine had me arriving at GZ for a search. Noting the recent DNFs I set about a thorough search of the area. I quickly spotted a possible hiding spot but no cache was revealed. A further search of other possible hides turned up nothing either. resorting to some previous logs indicated I needed to expand my search zone some distance, I just had to determine in which particular direction. Starting with a zigzag search I eventually settled on a more scientific approach. Beginning at the furthermost point possible on an arc of 180 degrees I circled around GZ before finally settling on a location of interest. A more detailed search turned up the well hidden cache.
While not requiring any fluro tape to find it, the magic number required for me was an offset of 9m from GZ.

Checked this morning and all is good! I think some of you expect the cache to be nailed to a tree with fluro tape tied in a bow! if you haven't found it in 5 mins, keep looking or come back with more eyes! Enjoy
I wonder if you’d mind checking this is still there, please? Three DNFs in a row are a tad discouraging.
I’m starting to get a bit discouraged. I’ve checked this cache out on multiple occasions thinking I’ll figure it out eventually but nope, still striking out. Sadness
Very nice hide! Favourite point from me! Log is nice and dry. Coordinates were good for me. TFTC!
Is that a decoy? Found something that had me thinking the right way. A relatively quick find. TFTC.
After searching GZ, Mrs Krispy Kreme decided to go back through the logs for some hints, but just as she did I spotted the cache! Nice camo An FP from us. TFTC
So I chose not to continue trying to find this GZ and caution anyone else to maybe wait a couple of weeks before going. There’s a Bush Curlew pretty much nesting where the published GZ is. I almost stepped on her. She/he was so fricken stressed and pressed right down over her nest. And even though the cache is out by 10 m I think she/he will still be disturbed by proximity. The mate was nowhere to be seen but if he’d been here he would have been very agitated... especially if you brought a geo dog. Not sure if she/he has eggs or is just a resident... Will check back in a couple of days to check out the situation. Stay posted.
Found with goldielover and pooch while gathering information for another multi cache. Had problems here until checking logs. Finding we were in the wrong location by a few meters did not help. A quick change of location and soon found the cache.

Once reaching gz it only took 10 minutes of searching to find something out of the norm. Clever hide, tftc
We walked to this cache from the nearby park. When we read the past logs we realized we needed to relocated. Soon after we started searching we found the cache. Tftc
Out for a few hours caching with RoddyC, Patrol14 has just joined us as well. We strolled around to GZ from the previous cache & knew to search about 9m from the coords. Soon spotted a cleverly hidden cache.

We came across your cache, Fitzengruben, on a caching day with KerryMg. Patrol14 has joined us as KerryMG leaves for kid duties.
Nice hide here, though the coordinates are about ten or so meters away from GZ. Nice to wave to the bus drivers.
Log signed and cache replaced at 1:49 PM on August 23, 2018. TFTC.

Out for an afternoon caching with RoddyC and KerriMG. Found after using helpful coords from Crew 153. SL then returned as found.
Found on 23 August 2018. TFTC, Fitzengruben.

Hidden Creatures Find #81 - On the home straight now! Today I headed south of the city to explore the many bikeways by foot. After reading the previous logs that the cache was north, I went to GZ as per my iPhone GSP and then I headed 8-9m north. I spotted something straight away that looked out of place and it was the cache. It was very quiet today (Sunday) with very few buses and no muggles around. TFTC
Needing a Traditional find today for a certain Challenge, I was at St Matthews Holland Park and this seemed like the best option afterwards.
It’s been ages since I cached in this area, but I enjoyed the short stroll over and up. Fortunately I’d read some earlier logs and was happy that the Crew153 figures took me to within a couple of metres where I quickly spotted a familiar shape and was happy to liberate the log from within.
All good inside the cache so TFTC and visit to this pleasant area today.

After attending the Flash Mob Event I was returning home and decided to find a couple of caches.
Saturday morning meant that there were plenty of parks close to the area and I strolled over to look for the cache.
After 10 minutes of fruitless searching I widened the search area and spotted a likely hide about 10m away.
I have posted the coordinates that my GPS was showing at the cache hide.

Trying to fill the gaps in my Traditional calendar now but this one had me puzzled for a while so I PAF to get a clue. She said it was not at the co-ords, should have read that in previous logs. On with the search and finally discovered the clever cache about 9 mtrs north of where my GZ was stating I should look. Signature left and cache replaced where found. TFTC
I saw this one listed the other day but was preoccupied with important pigeon business so couldn't join in the FTF rush
At ground zero today I wasn't having much luck. I eventually went about 6 to 7 meters North of where my GPSr was telling me to look, and I spotted a likely looking culprit. Upon inspection sure enough it moved, and closer look proved it was the much sought geocache!
Nice camo job here. It is easy to miss, but fortunately for me I was able to make the find after about 20 minutes searching.
Log signing duties completed, and cache replaced back as I'd found it.
Thanks for the clever cache Fitzngruben, and have a favourite point for this one as well

When this cache was published we were too far away to participate in a FTF race so we put it on 'watch' to see how it would play out.
It seems lunch-time is cache-time around here & the race was on. LOL ...
Having a medical appointment this afternoon (close by) we arrived a little early, with a small window of opportunity, so decided to take a peek.
The compass was playing games so we relaxed on the grass, taking in the ambience, until it settled & pretty much pointed straight at GZ.
Moments later something just a little different was spotted & the cache was in hand.
Well that was a nice easy D3.5!
Shame our timing (& location) was out earlier. LOL ...
Made our mark & replaced as found, still on time for our appointment.

*FTF* @ 12:27pm with ChasingAdventures.
I headed out at lunchtime to grab this one. As I approached GZ, I saw Chasing Adventures already searching. She had found something weird which she showed me and we wondered if it could be the cache but, in the end, we both disregarded it. We continued searching and I shortly spotted something else worthy of investigation. When I grabbed it, it moved and it turned out to be the very cleverly disguised cache container. We signed our names and replaced as found. Thanks to the CO for this impromptu lunchtime adventure.
