Description
The Table of periodic elements is a wealth of information.
The cache is not at the published co-ordinates. Solving the below will get you the right group multiplied by the period to be atomically correct. kind of...
From the SOUTH, NICKEL plus HYDROGEN gives a DEGREE of a LANTHANIDE (.) OXYGEN's Atomic Number next to YTTRIUM's atomic number could make sense...
This could become a bEAST if you double the atomic of TANTALUM to a DEGREE? COBALT’s Atomic (.) is easy to see, however without NITROGEN plus SODIUM there is ZERO

I started out very confident of what I should do to get the geochecker to agree with me. The results were ridiculous so thinking all I had to do was change one set of numbers I threw the result back into the geochecker. Nope! Check all my workings and I couldn't get anything different. Result? Resort to PAF, well it was really TAF, who kindly put me on the right track to obtain a green light.
Thanks Trimbletas for a not so elementary Elemental Mystery.

After a slight problem with the checker we had our solution confirmed. With a busy month ahead we decided that once this mornings committments were complete we would look for this cache this afternoon.
After susing out the track we decided to leave the replacement AWD at our normal parking spot and walk the final 500m. Although the wet areas were easily negotiated the steep clay sections had been recently cut out and were extremely slippery. The rain held off and we enjoyed the smell of wet gums on our way up.
At GZ we had little trouble locating the container in a spot we had visited previously. Container and contents were in excellent condition. We added our name to the log and took the required photo.
Thanks for this cache and the MMMM puzzle Trimbletas. Not much to see from the hide due to the very low cloud.

Up north and decided to head off today to locate the rest of the solved mmmm puzzles. This meant we travelled from Devonport to Railton to Smithton and down to Dismal swamp and back to Devonport with a few other detours in between. It was a lovely day to be out and about and Mrs W was pleased at Railton that Mr W made all the caches a driveby. We enjoyed solving the variety of puzzles so great to turn the solves into founds. Now off to Stanley. Deserves a favourite for the view. TFTP

Doing a few puzzles this morning and solved this one. Thanks for the puzzle fun.
Hi Trimbletas
What a great day
After a couple of false starts, due to the GPS not co-operating, finally headed in the right direction and managed to find all caches in the area
The hides were good and all are in good condition
This cache was Sainted at 1115 hours
No problem finding it
An interesting hide
Loved the "weight" hiding and holding the cache in place
Loved the scenery from the top of the hill
The 5th find for the day was enhanced by two Wedgies soaring above (See photos on GA27232)
Thanks for the fun and the hike
Cheers OldSaint

After solving this one earlier not long after it was published, i knew its exact location very well but had to wait until i finished work to be able to go find it.
as soon i finished work i headed straight to the location, where i found the cache tucked away. there being no logs in the logbook i will claim the FTF @ 4:30pm. Thanks for a great puzzle and a great hiding place. Photo attached to log for MMMM games.
