Think this has been muggled. The magnetic area has been painted recently because of graffiti, so maybe it has been removed.

Searched for this one last weekend, but apart from meeting 2 church boys on bikes, still couldn't find it! On the trip home, we discussed what we'd all seen and voila! we got it but it was too late to turn around and check it out. Completed this one tonight. Cunning! TFTC

Sorry for the late log.
This was one very clever cache indeed. Usually I am not a fan of Micros, but when they are well constructed and concealed like this, then they are well worth while.
This was the last for the 10.10.10 day for us & a great way to finish the day off!
TFTC
Cheers

A Taxi was parked there, but left just as we approached the cache.
Thanks, Robmc.

Seen lots of hides like this one this week but they are always good
and manage to fool muggles no doubt.
TFTC Glyn. Didn't realise your influence extended all the way up here!

Awsome Cache!

Did a walk by in the morning, to confirm where I thought it was. Very out in the open and lots of muggles going to school. Waited till mid morning and visited again. I put on my Hi-Vis Vest which, believe it or not, helped me blend in and look less suspicious! Very satisfying find! Very Happy

On a mission to reach 1200 cache finds before the year's end - we need 128 caches in 4 days. We have arrived in Whangarei to clean up the town, and this is the first cache on our list! A nice straight-forward find for us, as we have come across these hides before. Not too many muggles around yet, so a quick retrieval. Thanks.
