Pumpin' (Taranaki) Moturoa, North Island, New Zealand
By Southern Augurs on 18-Dec-08. Waypoint GC1JZ4N

The build up of sand is making it harder and harder to place this cache.

Definitely gone.

Will check still in place.

Looked for some time for this one with no success. Tried under over, inside and out, but to no avail. Better luck next time if we get back to New Plymouth.

Looked high and low, but could not see it. Maybe when I am next in New Plymouth?

Nope what a dope

Found after a short search. Very hard to put log back in with the little bit of extra paper which is being used to supplement the log. TFTC !

Missed it 3 years ago and couldn't find it this time either.

hard find in the dark! tiny tiny cache! no more room in the log!!!

Very good Cache. After a long day Geo Caching for the first time ever with my Fav's the D'Ath clan. We decided to Head to the beach for Dinner and had a look at some near by Caches and this one was only a couple of feet away. Very sneaky Cache but very well done What a great last cache for a perfect day

finally, but it was sheer luck.After poking around where i thought it may be decided to look through sand and there it was just waiting to be found.Cleaned up and tried to sign log but no room ended up using small bit of thin bakeing paper which i was able to roll up and put into the centre of log roll. Sure is a small one TFTC

/////////LOG FULL/////// Not sure if its back exactly where it belongs as i found it in the sand

Tftc

No muggles, plenty of time to search, but no luck

Nimble fingers indeed! Found with help from logs.
TFTC. Jackie and Grant (Nelson)
Please note that our log entry filled the log up (new one needed)

876 - Third visit in four days! I was out with family again this morning and this time we were successful. A tricky wee hide and definitely hardest 1 I've ever found. I'm so glad to finally have found it as I was determined to find it before I headed home. TFTC. Log book is full.

Took a bit to find but was a good challenge

What a mission but finally success!! gotta look a lot harder than we thought. This was my third visit. thanks for the cache.

We spent 20 minutes here but didn't manage to turn up the wee cache. I hope it's still here. I'll be back
9/4/13 I came back this morning to have another luck but still no joy. What am I missing?

Finally found thanks to the nimble fingers of daughter number 1... And that is definitely the smallest cache we've seen so far... TFTC

Smallest cache i have ever seen and it was a clever hide and it was quite difficult to reach

Will Keep on trying.

Found with banjoboy2012. TFTC

second time lucky
smallest cache i have ever seen and it was quite difficult to reach

Boy that is one small cache. Found with ubdobe after a bit of searching. The cache Is no longer magnetised but is still easy to find.

This was the hardest difficulty 1 cache I've found so far.Need to be fairly supple to find this one I think. TFTC.

Had a good poke around... But alas... Could not find it

At last, we had a chance to re look and we found it. After several previous attempts. Thanks for some past advice from several fellow cachers. Is it supposed to have a magnet on it? If so, it has gone. TFTC

Had a quick look for this while doing the earthcache, but there were far too many people around because of a volleyball competition. Also, there was a lot of sand blown into the base of the pump so I wasn't sure if I would have to dig or not.

Will try again later.

ETA: Found it! Man, that is one tiny cache. It's rolling around a bit in its hiding place, I hope it doesn't get loose. The log sheet is nearly full, only a couple of spots left.

TFTC Found this one after a sail in the harbor.

That is the tiniest cache we've ever seen. Took us quite awhile to find but got there in the end. TFTC.

Seems to be too difficult... ;(

Swimming, kite flying and caching on the beach. What a great day. TFTC

A quick find following on from dinner at GUSTO, also much quieter without a lot the people about swimming and having fish n chips on the beach

TFTC

Wow, took a few goes at looking plus a little hint but we finally found it! Wasn't expecting it to be so small! Brilliant hide, tftc

Yep, it is still there, just a wee bit tricky to find

Hi, can anyone confirm this is still here? Been back a few times now and had a very good hunt about but still no luck. Thanks

Lots of muggles about today so couldn't look as much as needed! Will be back

Found with Davycrockpot on a extended weekend caching. Hard to look inconspicuous grabbing this one but got it between muggles. TFTC

Found on a weekend caching mission around Taranaki with Geco72. Pleased to have two people on the case with this one, one to see and the other to retreive. TFTC.

Quick find, TFTC

Had to come back for a second look when there was no-one around. TFTC

#1,120, Quick Find. TFTC

We have been here several times now, including twice today in the rain. Very frustrating.that we haven't been able to find it. Lots of sand built up around base and we have looked every where under.... and even under the over. A few months ago we found a small magnet but nothing else.HELP! Losing our confidence with this one...

Cache 2170
Here we had to be stealthy, because there was a car parked very close to the cache and the muggle was looking at us. So we were taking photos all over the place and found the cache too.
Thanks for the little one Quiri

Unattended in the evening. TFTC

Too many muggles yesterday for a good search so came back today for a proper look. A nice quick easy find this time. TFTC.

Pretty muggly here today so had to be quick and discrete. Unfortunately came up empty. Cheers.

Quick easy find nice cold day so not many muggles

Great cache ! Took a few minutes to find but got it in the end. Loved the area.. Thanks..

Flying visit to New Plymouth. Pouring with rain, so choosing inside things to do.

Knocked off a Challenge at the Museum: got my nephew to 'plank' in the middle of the floor. From there, drove along the seashore and cache searched. This was the nearest.

Searched the structure, then spotted the nano on the sand. Log a little damp, but write-on-able. Magnet has failed, so no longer attractive. TFTC.

Might need attention. Magnet very weak. Jammed in place between two bolts below the structure.

Five of us looking but did not find. Great sport and lliked the history for the area.

Another that didn't find this one. We should have read the logs 1st. But an interesting area.

Down on all fours (or is that eights for the two of us combined?) all four sides, in the rain!
One weird passing glance by walking muggles! But zero caches found

Nice quick find in between heavy rain. Great location. TFTC.

Didn't find it today. Sid find a wee magnet. Maybe the cache has broken?

Had a good look but no success. I was in the dark and in a bit of a rush to get to "sweat as views" GCB848 and back to the centre of New Plymouth before work. I'll have to have another look on my next trip down from Auckland.

Finally got to log this one, brought a pen with us this time

No muggles about early this morning, took a bit of searching [8]

We made hard work of this one for some reason, but got there in the end. TFTC

Found on a dark, cold and rainy night. The weather has been perfect on other trip to New Plymouth but it really turned it on, I got drenched. TFTC Southernaugurs

Never come across one this small before

This location brought back memories as I am sure I stayed nearby for a summer holiday when I was primary school age. There were a few muggles about but I was able to complete my quest reasonably quickly by utilising some stealth.

Did not take too long to find after our ride along the Coastal Walkway. Thanks very much SouthernAugurs

65th find on my 65th birthday!

Finally came here and there was no one around. TFTC - TNLN

Found @ 2:55pm with hccatcher11415


With so many potential hiding spots, this one was found relatively quickly! Thanks Southern Augurs!

5th find for the day. So many hiding spots for this one, allrounder made the find pretty quickly considering.

TFTC

Finally got it after numerous attempts hampered by muggles. TFTC

Sneaky little nano hide. Didn't take too long to track it down though...
TFTC

Thought we were in the right place but just couldnt find it. A lot of people around as well.

#2667
A couple of nearby muggles glanced over when I was looking at the "Nodding Donkey" as they are called in USA. The cache was quickly found, and then it only tooka minute to sign the log and replace the cache before moving on. TFTC ds8300

Tiny! Good little hide spot that. Went out looking with johnyoung. Tried this one numerous times but never been able to search due to muggle infestation. Was blessedly light on the muggles today.

1st of 3 today
TFTC!

Nano??? Try super micro!!! Bloody good hide, never seen anything this small before!! Good hide.

second time in the area got it this time

We waited for a muggles dozing in his car before we closed in and started feeling all around for this one and after a few spells waiting for muggles to walk past we found it many thanks as we looked for about 15 minutes TFTC

Nice little cache. Thanks.

We thought this looked like a good place to view the port, and when we switched our GPSrs on, were delighted to find we were a mere 15m away from a cache!!
Didn't take long to track down - once we read the cache description properly and realised we were looking for a nano. Great place for a cache.
TFTC.

#2818. Good views from GZ, and an interesting object to eplore. TFTC.

Irritating little thing to find. Got it eventually, TFTC.

Quick find before heading off to The Bach for a spot of lunch. (Recommend the Eggs Benedict). TFTC

Found it after a bit of a hunt, TFTC.

Found this cache at the very beginning of the Coastal Walkway. Quick find, without the cache we probably wouldn't have noticed this place.

TFTC!!

Lady Pinguin

Found this cache while walking the Coastal Walkway. Nice location for a cache, otherwise we would have just walked past it.

TFTC!

Nice easy find tftc

nice easy find at dusk

Nice quick find and great views tftc

found this while avioding the ice creams

Got muggled out yesterday but was successfull today. We have a micro the same (Atawhenua) at home in Te Anau so I knew what I was looking for. TFTC.

Probably would have passed up if not for Geocaching! Thanks

Took us much longer to find then it should have, just as we were ready to give up we came up with the goods.

Tftc

Nice quick find TFTC

Tried to find this earlier tonight with no success but came back after completed a few others and got it quickly once I had waited for the keen photographer take photo 1001! It just doesn't make sense sometimes! TFTC #1881

I remember this spot as a kid, thanks for bringing me back.
