Mint Tin Revenge Turners Beach, Tasmania, Australia

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, TasCoders, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

Unfortunately an injury has made this one difficult to replace promptly. We do however expect to have this out this weekend, so would love a couple more days grace

This one has gone missing. Will be replaced soon.

Visiting from Melbourne after months and months of lockdown, visiting family and getting some fresh air. Today we decided to sit back, do some fishing and just breathe. Unfortunately the fish weren't interested in helping us out. A quick stop to find the nearby cache had us laughing as we searched. Lucky 13 for us. Tftc.

Very clever tftc

Great idea! Very funny

Today we travelled to the NW coast with whitewebbs collecting caches along the way and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in good condition, we finally found the co-ods in the last spot!

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Today is the start of a few big days of caching we have planned and we were out and about iwith Tassie Trekkers and stopped to locate this cache. I think we tried every tin! TFTC

Love this tftc

What a cache, this is by far my favourite.
It was a mix of infuriating rummaging and patience but we got the log book. The cache was an easy find, logbook retrieval was the hard part. Tftc
All the contents are safe and dry

Giving this one a favourite! Awesome cache. Thank you!

After a morning of house work, I decided i would go for a drive to get my L plate hours up. Managed to convince dad and we were off, with a de-tour to Bunnings of course. Overall I hid a multi and found 6 caches.

Just looking at the name had me shiver. Got there today and i couldn't find anything, nothing at all. Rang a friend only to find that the cache had been moved from when they found it so it was back to me. After looking for another 5 minutes finally a container, but its not a mint tin. Opened it up and I was instantly sadden, one by one we managed to find the log and log the cache.

Very well designed cache, TFTC. This is defiantly getting a fav point from me.

Didnt really get a good shot at this one. A muggle arrived shortly after me and wanted to engage in a long chat about the birds he thought I was trying to spot. In the end decided to move on to the next one and leave this for another day

No luck.

Found this one as well A very interesting cache,found logbook after six tins.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Found it great cach

Found after widening our search. Once spotted, it was easily retrieved. Took a few tries at finding the log book. Nice hide TFTC.

Found it!!
Awesome cache
Thanks!

I was surprised at how quickly I found this cache and the mint tins had their revenge on me. Thank you TasCoders for your interesting and unusual cache and the information you provided about the history of the area. Historical information such as this makes the caching experience more rewarding. .

Found it

A couple of days off from work and it seemed like a reasonable forecast, so I thought some time in the north west would be good with three aims. One get a break from work, two get a few puzzles that I need to claim a challenge cache in Hobart and finally get a few caches to get the wonders of the World Series done.

The drive up on Thursday was an indication of things to come. Regular showers and very cold. This continued right through the two days. At the end of each day my trousers, shows and socks where Completely saturated.

A few DNFs were had, mainly due to not wanting to search in the current shower more than anything else. Just over 100 finds for the two days, more on the first day less On the second.

Tftc.

Cruel .... love it.

??

Came out for a look in the dark
Did not find this time
Will try again in daylight

Accurate coords led to a quick find but signing the log took a tad longer.
Almost halfway before hitting the jackpot.
Very fiendish indeed and I've never hidden a mint tin either as they aren't waterproof and rust fairly quick.
Tftc...cheers ST.

We needed a find today to fill a gap on our caching calendar. This one was conveniently near where we needed to be so decided to tackle it. Once the GPS settled we made a quick find and hit the jackpot first try! We've seen a couple of other caches along this line and loved them each time. Thank you for the effort that went into this one

Pleased to have solved two Extra Puzzle caches soon after publication, so today with favourable weather our little geo trail today bagged us 7 for the morning. This is #4, and what a bizarre find. Spent a little while waiting for the gps to settle, and a little while searching for the current log to sign .......... as there are so many choices. Good for a chuckle this one ! TFTC TasCoders

No luck today

Thanks for the cache, TasCoders - the poor old (eclipse) mint tin can be much maligned in caching circles, but I think they have a place, as long as not over used, and used appropriately; and this hide is far from inappropriate. Speaking of caching circles, what what we did here for quite a while; until I realised that what I thought was the hint, was not a hint at all. So after way too long, I spotted it; and we were soon adding our names to the logsheet with a bit of luck and a minimum of fuss. I shall add a fav.
Cheers, EPs.

Found with AlbyDangles on Day Five of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey Or Bust" tour; as Covid-19 cancelled the Kempsey Mega event this weekend.
Our last full day in the area, targeted Forth to Paloona today and now heading for North Motton.

Hello TasCoders thank you for the cache

After a lengthy search EeePees found the contain and it didn't take too long after that to find and sign the logbook.

Today was the fifth day of a road trip with EeePees and a nice sunny day it was.

Found on Monday, 06 July 2020 at 1628

**TFTC**

My geocaching mojo may have left me over the COVID-19 lock-down.

No luck with this one today.

Thanks for the cache.

Oohhh your evil, mint tin revenge indeed. We thought this should be easy till we open the container and found the special note.
Nevertheless its smiley for us and a fav for you

Mint tin revenge indeed!

Great little first find

I have seen lots of these sorts of caches, but it’s not as evil as one in Penola SA, that’s horrible. Hence why I guess it’s D5, managed ti find this on the 2bd mint tin

Today around lunch time I made the decision to head to the North west to find a few caches and clean up a lot of the new puzzles around the area.
With the rain looming it seemed to hold off for the remainder of the day.
Overall 42 caches found and 3 DNFs.

Thanks for the cache

Out for a drive with the family lead to finding 4 caches on a Long weekend. Yes I got the Hubby to come and find some....So proud of him! Easy find then the fun started I was excited to see some paper when I opened the first on thinking how lucky I was, Oh no not so lucky! Hubby found it in the second last one! Thanks TasCoders for placing this one.

Awesome find for our first

found this today on our way back to Burnie from a medical apt further along the coast. WOW totally love it. Fav from us

Cache reinstated along with the opening of parks.

Disabled due to corona virus and in response to parks being closed. Cache will be reinstated once the risk has reduced.

Cache has been moved 20m further down the track

Someone camping close by, will come back

The cache has been temporarily moved further along the track. New coordinates are:

The tent at the previous location is empty (and full of water) so must have been abandoned for a few days at least. Will check in on this site in a week or two & maybe relocate back if it’s clear.

Hi TasCoders
This cache was a very interesting find
An erect tent right on GZ and toilet paper scattered near the tent entrance made me wonder if I should continue the search
BUT I did!!!
Found the cache and was lucky with the log
It was signed and Sainted at 1205 hours as my last find for the day
TFTC and cheers

I initially saw the hype for this cache and wondered what it was all about.
Upon finding the cache with little difficulty (thanks to good coordinates and the hint), I worked out what all the talk was about.

All I can say is, thanks for placing the cache near a picnic table, and yeah, that was annoying.

So, this cache has earned a favourite point from me, after quite an effort...

It was with a mixture of horror and amusement that we saw the publishing of this cache.
For 12 months now we have had a few friends saving their mint tins for a cache exactly the same as this one!!!! We finally got to 35 containers and last week bought a large sistema to put them in [half price at Woolies]. Mr Beetle finished painting the container the day this one was published
And the most ironic thing is that we were also going to call ours mint tin revenge!!!!
We will still put it out but will have to change the name or perhaps call it mint tin revenge 2.
We have a horror of mint tins and their inappropriate log books. Then you get the cachers who put swaps in them, then you get the ones in zip lock bags that are way too big. All in all it is very rare to find a good mint tin cache!!!
Today we were caching at Port Sorrell but detoured this way on the way home to see how you tackled this cache. Slightly different to what we have done but basically the same principle. I guess great minds think alike!!!
Number 12 was successful for us today.
Did pass some muggles almost at GZ when I was leaving. Perhaps they were the other caching group that found this one today.
Thanks and of course I will have to give this one a favourite point.

Well played TasCoders . Very sneaky. TFTC

{FTF} ok that was just mean lol.
I was grooming animals for a show on the weekend when I saw the newly published caches come up. So wasn’t sure wether to fining the grooming or go for the FTF so the pigs can go dirty on the table.
Really enjoyed this one so I’ve given you a favourite point.
Thanks Tas Coders for the hide it was fun to do.

After visiting a friend in Turners Beach, we went to look for this cache. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a regular container. Given the title, we had a shrewd suspicion about the contents and our guess was correct. As a complete fluke, the first place we looked had the logbook (got a Lotto ticket on the way home - not a special one, just the regular one). After signing the logbook (congratulations Merilyn on your FTF) we checked the other possibilities - no more logbooks were found but the rest were well presented to force lookers to check every place. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks TasCoders for a very well presented cache.
