We dug but could not find it

Think the cache is gone, I will disable it for now and replace it soon hopefully.

This was our second DNF on this cache, so it might require a check from the CO.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

May have been muggled. Searched around coordinates and surrounding for a loooong time but didn’t find a thing.

Didn’t find, no where to be found

TFTC

This one seems to have been muggled

Nice easy one.

Easy find thanks, my son enjoyed retrieving it!

I went looking for about half an hour with no one around checked under every surface that I could and I didn’t find it, I could’ve just missed it though

Spent some time this afternoon at the playground. I twas really quiet, so we checked, and all good here: both cache and container are in perfect conditions !

Easy to find once got in the right spot. Couldn't work out where the metal was. Great cach

First ever find did it with the family was really fun

Quick find. No madness today, very quiet. Thanks to all cache owners for taking the time to place and maintain your caches. Team Broadbent (signed TB on micros). Find # 2171

Thank you for this cache, Benw2018.
Out caching with purdiepurdie on this gloomy winter’s day; we were driving across town and this was close to our route. Quick find.

TFTC. Out with KSI gathering happy faces and solving the mystery. Great fun,

Sneaky spot in plain view. Well done

Thanks for a great cache! Holiday fun!

I am currently down this way from Auckland for work and so I thought I would try to find a couple of caches while I was in the neighborhood. This one didn't take long to find. So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in it's spot all ready for the next hunter. Thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC

Found this one ages ago and forgot to log. TFTC.

This one took a bit of searching for because I didn't feel it on my first pass. Tried the other side, tried looking and just as I was about to give up I found it. Very pleased it was such a cold and foggy morning as it meant the playground was empty. TFTC # 13,962

Preferably needed some caches on todays calendar, so I went out for a drive with my 2.5 year old to see what we could find - mainly targetting new caches that were park n grabs since last time I had time to go caching - a long time ago!!!

This one was a pretty easy find. However there was another lady with a toddler on the playground also, and that toddler choose specifically GZ to play on.
My toddler didn't mind the fact that we needed to hang out here waiting for the other family to leave - she quite liked the playground! But it was over 20 mins til they started leaving! And I wanted to find 5 caches on this day!!!!! Eventually got there

TFTC!!

Nice find on a chilly Saturday winter night - thanks LGM

good description easy to find!

My friend and I found it. It was very fun to find.

Tftc! Great early on football morning

Great hiding.

Found this excellent hiding spot. 4.5.19

Nice find!

Found after much hunting around! Great hiding spot thank you

Pen was dead but good find. TFTC

Very clever!! TFTC

Good spot

Second visit to the playground, as the new container is in place. It was exactly where we were looking... Thank for replacing the container!

Ce géocacheur a signalé que la cache semble avoir disparu.

Went there today, it was gone so I replaced it. All good to go now.

We were at the playground, playing with our son, and did not turn our Geocaching App on. Two ladies cam and our geocaching eyes let us immediately what they were looking for... We looked for the cache with them for a while, but there was nothing to be found, in this playground, maybe someone stole the cache. We'll wait for someone else to find it or the owner to confirm it's here before giving it another try.

Had a great time hunting for this geocaching and it really got you to look hard in and out through the playground.

Found it. Awesome hiding spot and great first ever geocache find

Cool location!

A nice quick easy find here. Always a good thing when finding a cache in a children's playground! TFTC.

My first solo mission!

Really good hiding spot and took me about 5 minutes to find

We are in ChCh to collect some points for the current souvenir hunt: Cache Carnival. A very quick find here but it took much longer to extract the log from the container to sign it. The bag is much too large and the way it had been shoved down super tight made is very hard to get it out. Thanks for placing the cache for everyone's enjoyment

Found it first try!

TYFC. Nice fun evening find with kids in a nice wee playground.

Some muggles around so had to wait.
In the end deserved a smiley
Thanks

Found it!!

Sometimes it takes a while and then the right spot is found

22 February 2019 5:17 PM The playground was empty as I approached and managed to get my hand on the cache then suddenly kids everywhere... 9 of them. It was playground madness! The picnic on the other side of the park had finished! Spent quite awhile sitting against a tree until the coast was clear so I could replace the cache.

All quiet in the park today so soon had cache in hand. Thanks

Quick and easy given that there were no children playing there today. TFTC

Well hidden. It took me 2 goes to find it

Great hiding spot!

Really fun and good hiding

Good wee hunt, looked where it was a few times and still missed it haha, got there in the end TFTC

Couldnt see it anywhere, replaced today. All good now.

Might be gone, can someone confirm for me ? Wasnt under anything metal that I could find, first thought was under the tall slide but wasnt, maybe muggled or maybe I'm blind

Quite hard. But great experience

It was sorta easy just remember that it is magnetic!

Nice easy cache for 1 January 2019

While others of the clan headed to the Christmas service we got onto the christmas caching, getting in some exercise prior to enjoying the days festivities. This was a quick find on the morning jolly and all in good order.

A quick find with Tregearp whilst on a short walk on Christmas morning to grab a couple of 'Christmas Caches'.

Deserted at the GZ this morning. All in good order, signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Benw2018.

Gefunden mit petitemorue.

Found with cori1503.

Our second cache in New Zealand. Very nice hide. And a nice play stop for the kids on bike ride back from Margaret Mahy playground. TFTC!

Yet. Easy find between muggles

Out for a walk with my cousins dog Penny. She is now officially a geodog! First geocache for her! TFTC!

Out on a Mad Monday Mission. TG was my tour guide as I collected caches. It was a good night out and we had a good catch up.
Quick find.

Thanks for the cache Benw2018.

Found with new catchers mpllyhunters. TFTC

Found it

Nice and easy to find and nice hide

Nice

A deserted playground enabled us to make a quick easy find of this cache this morning. TFTC

A cold windswept afternoon was perfect for finding this cache. Have driven past a few times before and found the GZ occupied and kept driving. Today this was a quick easy find. Thanks for placing and maintaining the cache.

Fog was perfect cover

Nice easy find good spot for kid

Out for a walk after work, this was a quick find, Tftc!

Sneaky but easy - especially if no one else is around

Happy muggle juniors playing so backed off. Later.

Nice easy find after replacemant. Thanks. Awful weather today, just right for caching in a playground! TFTH

Thank you for cache. Good hide

Quick find.

found, very easy!! Should’ve brought a pen or pencil though!!

Doing a few caches around town, TFTC

Muggled already, I replaced the cache today. Hopefully it lasts longer this time.

Found today on a beautiful day. Nice and easy. TFTC #58

Nope. Doubt it's there.

Found with the owner BenW2018. TFTC!!!!!!

No children playing here today. TFTC.

All quiet in the Park today,and it was quickly found.Didn't slide down the Slide but was tempted.lol TFTH

As Master 3 had been stuck inside yesterday as he was a bit sick, we decided to head outside today as he felt better. Knew there was a playground here and a cache so it was a win/win. Thankfully the area was deserted so the cache was a quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Left Kaiapoi in brilliant sunshine to go cyclocaching from Redwood into the city but found that the sunshine ended at the Waimak. [xx(] Just as well I had extra cycling clothing layers in the cachemobile. Rode off down the railway cycleway in heavy , very wet fog and it wasn't long before I rode into a foggy Elmwood Park. With no muggles to cause me any delay the cache was quickly found and signed. That's 1 cache (of 3 required to bring my total finds for 7th August up into double figures) done I just need 2 more and then call it quits for the day. Thanks for the cache Benw2018, I look forward to finding more of your caches..

I arrived in town from Nelson for a couple of days work. As I had a bit of spare time before meeting up with colleagues, I went off to find a few caches. Misinterpreted the hint at first but let logic take over and found the cache after a short search. Last cache for me. Time to head to my hotel and get some work done. TFTC, Biggles.
