String of DNF logs since last find 3 years ago....C.O. seems currently inactive, .....maybe the best thing here would be to archive this puppy?
Thanks.
Thanks.
A real quick sneaky search in the dead of night on my way home - but no find yet..
We're still here in NZ although our trips end is drawing closer. Day 19 and we headed from Greymouth to Akaroa via Rangiora.
Gave this one a go as we have found a few at home like this, but the unit this is outside of was occupied today so we were being watched continuously, Gave up after a cursory search of the obvious spots.

This was meant to be a quick p&g but didnt end up being that at all. The Queen and geoD had an unsuccessful look.
Only 2 of us went to try for this cache & unfortunately for one a shower was more important. After a couple of minutes the pin was pulled so although we looked but not thoroughly, it is a DNF for us here as well. Thanks anyway Jake The Muss.
Had a good look but didn't find it. Might be worth the owner checking to see if it's still in place. Cheers.
Quite a tricky one. looked on 18th with no luck, came back today for another try.
Nice quiet day today. Nobody about.
Didn't mean that I could find it, so Ms M had to come on over and located it relatively quickly.

After a DNF on our 1st visit two years ago. My hopes were high to find it this time as I was in the company of previous finders.
After about 10 minutes searching decided to move on, maybe next time. Thanks anyway

A quick find on my 2nd attempt. TY. Gosh there are a lot of caches that contain the word muggles!
A cache by any other name is still a cache. My PQ has this down as a 5 star find. Thought this one might take a while but it didn’t in the end. SL TFTC
Finally got it when I searched at nighttime. It should be very easy... but when muggles are watching it seems harder!
#1586 (13/15 on a second day on the Coast). Lots of hiding places, but we found the cache quite quickly. TFTC.
We were a bit worried when we first saw this 5 star rated location, but it turned out to be a quick easy find. TFTC
(402) This is where I use to stay each time I was over the coast for work.. Nice place to stay, Nice cache also.. TFTC, SL.
A nice quick find with no muggles around due to the rain.You would probably feel a bit dodgy retreiving this cache if there was anyone in the unit behind the cache. Cheers Bo
Was sitting in the Recreation Hotel yesterday afternoon having a quiet drink with an old friend. Had only just finished telling him about Geocaching and that there was a cache across the road when along comes a couple of people to have a look for it. I think it was fellow Nelson cacher Kiwi Explorer. Anyway we went and found it ourselves today - the log is full. TFTC
I have searched unsuccessfully for this one before and left pretty frustrated but today I walked up and instantly found it - go figure. TFTC.
GZ was very familiar as I'm pretty sure this is my second attempt at this cache. Failed last time. Luckily today Kiwi Explorer was on hand to help with the search and find. TFTC, Biggles.
Night caching with Ramadonis. Didnt have a great torch but found with direction from gracie7. TFTC
Couldn't see it in the dark and didn't have a torch while our South Aussie Vets Tennis Tour were playing the Greymouth Vets on the nearby courts. Found it in daylight the following morning. Thanks Greymouth for your hospitality. We are now home after 16 wonderful days in your country. (28th)
Second time and still no luck Maybe we shouldnt be trying to look during the day while people are looking at us weirdly!
Second visit to this one - last time it was dark and there were several patrons outside the establishment over the road so I moved on. Today was a very quick find - saw it straight away. TFTC #1076
Very challenging with muggles in open hotel rooms only meters away this evening. TFTC
with being new years we did the middle of the night approach once all buildings had closed in the area found with ribsc thanks
We had just checked into our hotel and was about to go out for a quick hour raid on Greymouth when we noticed there was a cache outside the place we were staying at.. Very nice hotel except the mater bed was in the lounge and the bedroom contained the smaller beds.. Anyways we enjoyed our stay here and can definitely recommend the place to anyone...
Found but was just an easy find. Why did you lead us here? Not spectacular. Not interesting either
Had a couple of young uns along this time - provided enough distraction to enable me to find it without looking like a dodgy old man!
In recent times I have found two “nano caches†this being the second. I was delighted to find this one very quickly and proceeded to log my visit on the annoyingly tiny log book. I nearly had heart failure thinking I had lost the cache container before realising that when I had placed it in my pocket for safe keeping the little blighter had attached itself to my car keys.

Was driving along the road and spotting this guy on the GPS . Quick grab, although unsure as to the reason for the cache. Not to worry ! Thanks ! Spark_ie from Ireland
Took ages to find but hadn't noticed it was literally where the co-ordinates said it would be! Spot on! TFTH. Cheers, ClownyCacher
Looked at the right angle and I found it in short order. Nice new log sheet for me to sign. TFTC.
We managed to put our initials and the date on the log. This is one of those finds, where you have been here many times and looked in the same spot many times, and now all of a sudden it is right there, where you have looked many times before. Interesting.
Quick find while on our way south on a whitebaiting trip.This would have to be the smallest cache i have found.TFTC
Quick find. Needs urgent maintenance as the log is full and has no room for any more names.
Hmmm! Looks almost like private property to me. However, the hide was well done, though I don't really like those nanocaches unless you have a spot where only one that small will fit in. They are very hard to get out, sign and roll up again. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1187)
Just too hard for a dodgey looking character like me to search without someone calling the cops!

Mr didn't like looking in such a public place so our search was short and we came away empty handed.
An easy find on a bit of a caching raid in Greymouth today. Thank for placing caches - it makes these raids more fun!
Found this after a slight undodgy looking hunt Container is fine as is the thread, the paper may just need folding in half. TFTC
Found this one quickly on our way home from the supermarket.
Make sure the log is rolled up tight and gets put into the top part first -- makes it easier to put the container back together again!!!!! The container already will not shut completely due to probably having been cross-threaded at some point.
