4th Find for today!Thanks Sandfly tucker For this cache! Found on the 19/03/24@06:15:48 p.m..Nice cache Never seen a magnet like that before TFTC-SL#309
Finally! Ive been trying to get this one for a few years but it always seems to go missing when Im in the area. Quick find today, just where I always suspected it would be. That is a cool container! Thanks for replacing.
replaced with a flash container I found years ago at an abandoned cache site
Cache is missing. Logs are specific as to where it was none the less checked the rest of the structure and the ground around.
Came by to avenge this DNF only to get another. I just cant seem to spot it.
Cache 1432 Heading to Christchurch for a geocaching holiday this week where I’m targeting hidden days/months and a few D/T and to sign challenge caches. And as many virtuals as possible. This cache was a needed hidden month. It was almost dark, just a smidgon of light left I was hoping I could find this one in time, but it was a super easy find when I got to GZ as it was the most obvious spot and I didn’t need the light, this is a great hide spot love the sculpture, cache in good shape T4TC
A nice quick park and grab today, particularly with the recent "helpful" (or not) hint.
WTiger1717 made the find and I signed - on a wee school holiday caching outing.
A cool little sculpture.
Thanks for bringing us here

We spent a bit of time going over this thing head to tail. Not seeing or feeling it.
Not sure if I missed something - I did this at night but the gardens by the focus point had all been dug up so there’s a chance it went with that. Hopefully not and I’ll be back to grab this soon
Nice and easy for once. We seem to be chasing ‘Logan and Rob’ around the place today!
We were kind of confused at the start but we ended up finding it as a Group
Wet socks from walking round the park but it was a great easy find TFTC
Hadn't been here in years and used to know people on the other side of the tennis court so it was a shock to see a house built where there used to be a road! Think it's changed since KR found it 10 years ago. Tftc
Indiboo made the find here after I was about to abandon the search and try another area. Logbook very damp but managed to add our names.
Thanks for the cache, Sandfly tucker

Had a bit of a feel around with no joy. Got lower and had a peer in and there it was, bigger than I thought (but still a micro of course). TFTC Mrs sandfly tucker.
We are in Christchurch for a time over Christmas/New Year, and this morning I went out for about 90 minutes to find some caches while RG72 went for a walk with the dog.
I hadn’t thought about where to go, but off the cuff decided Aidanfield would be a good spot. There are a few caches around here on little walkways that looked accessible.
Pretty good success, the only two I could not find were puzzles without geocheckers, so will go back to the drawing board on those. Thanks all.

This is one of those that all makes sense when you get there! Really enjoyed the cache title. We decided on an end each and it was found before I had reached mine. TFTC Mrs Sandfly tucker # 15,326
I never complain about caches being too easy though of course as we approached, recognition of what the cache name was referring to was instant and that narrowed down the search area considerably. I was surprised to see how old this cache is. There's probably even more rust here than when the cache was placed .
Great start with the kids on Saddleback Green. 7 years living down the road and kids building huts around it and no idea it existed. Thanks
Quick find when I got to the location...my GPS map hasn't been updated for a while so thought there should be a road where there wasn't. Tftc
Had a lovely chat to the guy across the road who said exactly where it should be, and there it was. I just needed a longer arm.
The GPS was a bit off, but given the title of the cache there was only one place it could be. TFTC!
The CO contacted me since she has put on an original replacement. So I visited again and retrieved my temp replacement. Thanks to the CO

Was here weeks ago searching for the cache, DNF back then. The guy who lived across the street came out asked what I was doing and give me a instruction of where the cache was located. I did a detailed search but no luck.
Headed back today with cold raining and did another search, looked at all the possible places but still no good. (And the guy across the street didn't come out. Feels like a NPC in a RPG game and I'm the knight on a quest, but he's not in his house this time. )
Seeing another DNF in the log I believe the cache has been muggled. So I brought a new replacement cache and placed it to a spot very close to the original GZ. It's still matching the original description I believe.
Now it's a small size container with some spaces for swaps. I've also left some swaps in there too. Hope this new cache will stay away from mugglers.
PS. If any one came up with finding the original cache, in case I missed it (although I don't think so). Please restore the original one and put mine replacement aside, message me and I'll go retrieve it.
TFTC, cool place to hide.
