Logging old find on new profile xx

Have now replaced this muggled Cache with
"Chirping Chicken".

Attended with a new log, only to find it had been muggled,
Well, it hasn't done bad for a Nano in such a high muggle area
70 + visits.

Will disable, then replace ASAP.

See Previous log.
Has been muggled, so waiting a replacement.

Will attend very shortly with a new log !!!

Out today with kellyxley, her husband and our good mate Fiona. Mr whippy greeted three of us with open arms, so we let kellyxley do the leg work. Found with the clue. Log full and needs replacement - signed as d73 and kx in a tiny space we found. TFTC!.

TNLN, but dipping in my TB and GC for a visit.

GPS had me 6 metres out, but an easy find when we read the hint. TFTC

Finally!! Lots of muggles.
Log book is chockers! Signed under sno seekers.
TFTH

Nice hide, a few muggles around but we waited then got down to business.

Our second ever find

Did a quick fakie by pretending to be photographing the ducks whilst we were looking for it - a lot of muggles around today

As already stated below, log full could not sign.

TFTH

This cache needs new logbook

Liked this cache, found it after having a face off with a black swan this cache needs a new logbook good hide TFTC

Looked for a while & got very close but couldn't find cache. Very busy park. Beautiful day!

Not quite the container I was expecting but easily found once all the muggles moved on. TFTH.

Found this one with ease, Had a lovely picnic in the park and a short walk up and back the walk trails to other nearby caches, Thanks for a great day out.
We never had a writing stick with us so no physical log sorry!

TFTC

had to keep dodging muggles [:d]

On my caching tour with MickeyDV up north I found this little fellow quick.
TFTC and cheers from Germany.

Presented at Joondalup council and came down here in the drizzly rain. Fortunately an easy find because some muggles came by just after I grabbed it. Thanks.

Nice day for geo-caching and great hide.
2nd or 3rd time trying to find it, but we finally got it!!
Wouldn't have found it without encrypted hint!

Very easy find, especially for a machman cache! TFTC SL.

1st cache of the day.
Nice small nano.

Found it... in a gap in the hordes of picnic muggles on a fine public holiday.

The GPS has been out all day so I used the hint to get an idea where I should be, which was lucky, as some lady had come down to the waters edge to feed the birds right near the cache. Had to wait for her to move further along and the birds to leave before finding the cache.

Thanks for the cache.

Lots of muggles lurking around but eventually made the find.
TFTC

A few turtles were hanging around at the end of the jetty today! The water is so low. Geokid 1 found this one. TFTH

Had this one confused with the nearby Neil cache - had no luck until I reread the description and stopped looking for an ammo can! SL TFTH

Well done. What a great little cache. And little is the word. Found it reasonable quickly after a lovely walk around the park. And we got to meet a nice English family that have been visiting family and got stuck here in Perth thanks to the volcano eruption. Not that they were complaining. They are loving it.

Didnt sign the log.

Thanks

Great hide,

Geosk8er and The Voice found this one whilst doing some others in the area, be wary of attempting Neil's Front Yard at night, Giant spiders like to set up webs across the path.

Second attempt, fairly muggle free this time and no snakes. GeoPaul found it all on his own. Good work. Cheers.

Found the cache but the scroll log book is in desperate need of maintenance.
I took the last place on the log book and there is no more room, great spot and plenty of muggles. Thanks.

New Log added.

Mach

Beautiful spot. Welcomed by lots of birds and fortunately no snakes! Cache log is now full and requires replacement.

WanderingAus wandered by and made a very quick and easy GAFF 1 find. A not quite perfect placement made it very visible on the second pass under the structure. I tried to improve the hiding just a tad.

My find No 2226, TNLNSL.

Well, this was my second attempt and as I had 30min to kill before work (even though it only took two mins to find), was able to have a good look around. I was ecstatic when I found the cache, walked right past it on the previous attempt. As I was writing in the log, I saw a SNAKE. He decided to leave where he was then crawl right across my shoe. I told myself to stay still, let the 1.5 - 2 metre 'brown' snake (Duguite) go to where ever it was heading via my shoe. The snake didn't care about me at all and just went on it's merry way, so I finished writing in the log, replaced the cache, changed my undies and went to work.
I think it was just one of those exciting things that happen when caching. Don’t be deterred as this is an awesome place for a cache (and a picnic) so find the cache, just be cautious.

Went during business hours so not many muggles

found fairly quickly...but while I was signing log muggle turned up and started feeding ducks...so had to wait until I could replace thanks again Machman.

LOTS of muggles, I gave this a go but due to being a novice I missed this one. I'll have another look another day. Thanks for the cache

Great spot! Took a little while, but we got it.

Talk about MUGGLES
great spot nice easy find for micro cache
TFTH

Surprised myself by finding this one within about five minutes. This is our first nano and I've never seen anything so small. Lots of muggles but lots of ducks as well. I had a couple of TB's but had trouble getting them in. Ha ha. TFTH.

Even with the muggles, I had a quick look, but without luck. Some of the area is undergoing some repairs, and I reckon that stopped me from making the frind.

Thats my excuse anyway..........

Despite there being quite a number of muggles enjoying the birdlife I was able to retrieve the cache literally under their noses. Lovely area, there sure is a wealth of lovely parks around this lake. Thanks for the hunt, Machman.

Lovely park. Geokids were the ones to find it. Seems they came here with the Grandparents a few months ago ...

Yet another Machman mini-micro, gee I love these rainy week days. Had plenty of time to search every nook and cranny. Another great cache. thanks Machman. SL TFTH

great location

This was our third attempt to get this cache.

The first time we had the dog with us and this is a no dog park. The second visit was on a beautiful sunny autumn day and every man AND HIS DOG was in that park, picnicking, running, playing ball, looking for little fishes, feeding the ducks and climbing all over the jetty, so we retreated back to our car without looking for the cache.

This time was a wet and stormy winters day and the Dockers were playing on the TV. Even so there we didn't have the place to ourselves. One man was feeding and chatting to the ducks, and he was not in a hurry so one of us engaged him in conversation while the other retrieved, signed and returned the cache, right under his nose.

Thanx for the fun Machman.

Found after walking around a bit.2nd one today.Not to many muggles today due to the weather

Found this one today, smallest one so far thanks

Yeah, finally logged it. Found it three months ago, but didn't have a pen with me...

Thanks for hiding!

Seeing the showers of rain this morning made me go - whoo hoo! I can pop down and have a look for Neil's Nut with less muggles (every time I have swung past to see if I could have a look for it the place has been packed - too much awesome weather!)... So I did and there was only one car parked in the carpark and just the wildlife hanging out near the cache. During another rain shower I had the cache in hand, signed the tiny log and popped it back, just as a few muggles were turning up. TFTC

Quick find - a very pretty location especially at sunset. Bruce fed the ducks and geese with some seed a visitor nearby provided. Thanks The Machman

I was going for this cache today, but there was no real chance to search for it. Waited for about 30 minutes but there was no chance to grab it without being seen by muggles. So I was going my way and tried a few of the other caches in the area... It's a hard nut on sunny weekends.

Accompanied with varuna for the day. We stayed there for our lunch... lovely warm day... found the nano - no problem. SL. Thanks The Machman for organising the cache and hunt.

Drop 2 x micro geocoin for Varuna.

Surprised that it was so easy to find a nano quickly after failed 2 attempts. Had a nice lunch in the beautiful sunny with Everlasting. Picked trackables up. Thanks for the fun and the cache.

Did this one with the grandchildren. They soon found,small as it is!!

Finally found it - can't believe we missed it so many times!!!!! Stands out like the proverbial when we finally located it.

Thanks for the cache, The Machman.

Easy find, first spot I looked at.....thankfully

TNLNSL TFTC

200th find - Woohoo!!!

Finding the cache was easy, getting the log out of the cache was more difficult.
TNLNSL TFTC

I swear I put in a good effort, but was unable to locate! Nudge every screw, every bolt, checked every crack... it's a tough nut to crack! Thanks for the hunt, if not the find

You refer to a generic image in your gallery but there doesn't appear to be one... perhaps that would help matters.

Just had an opportunity to revisit this one, after the feedback below and i am pleased to report it has not been Muggled (on this occasion), and is still in situ... awaiting a finder.... !!!

1830hr
Came back again to have another look after it has been replaced but if my suspicions are correct I think its gone again. We're fairly confident we're looking in the right spot (having spoken to a previous finder) and alas it's not there.
Will watch to see if it's our eyes - or muggles.
It was a lovely evening for a bike ride regardless - and judging by the number of others around at this time we are not alone in our support for Daylight Saving.
Thanks for getting us out and about, Machman

Just got home after spending a day caching, spent an hour searching this morning but with no luck. Just seen that it was muggled and replaced today. Must have missed you. We are setting off this evening to find it.

Sorry to say this has been "muggled", last seen end of January....

Anyway i have now replaced the cache, with an identical one, and have also copied over the log for all those that had previously visited the cache....

So as of today 22 Feb 09 we are back in business.....

Enjoy.

The Machman.

1450hr
Out and about doing a bit of caching on Valentine's Day - now how romantic is that!!! Ahhh - but with an ulterior motive!
Unfortunately this was a no find! There were a few muggles out and about but no one in the vicinity of the cache so we had the chance to have a good look but came up empty handed even with the hint.
Phoned a friend to make sure we were in the right spot and I fear this has been muggled. It may need to be checked out to see if that's the case or not. Hopefully not!
Thanks for bringing us here anyway, Machman.

Accompanied Everlasting for the day of caching, we spent the good 30mins searching high and low and yet unable to find it. Re-read the description and hint and still uable to find it. Was it muggled? We will come back and have another go at it. Thanks to The Machman for the challenge and fun.

Either we're just too hopeless to see it, or this one has definitely been muggled [B)]

[Australian Branch] They can be elusive these little things...a bit of determination later!! TFTH.

Searched all the nuts and places where a nano would stick to but came up empty, searched above and under and concentrated on the area in the hint.

Found where it should be, but too muggles to look in detail. Will try again later.

third nano this morning had to keep an eye out for muggles of which there were quite a few

tftc

2nd little find on circuit Thanks

We went to get this cache but we had the dog with us so we will return another day.

Muggle Central will need to go back when quieter got a sneaking suspicion I may need to resort to using the hint but we will see Very nice spot so I won't mind another visit

Found @ 1950hrs


Second visit a bit quieter this time at least I had some idea what I was looking for, still found it a bit tricky though but got there in the end. Took a beer with me so I would blend in with muggles,(non geowife was driving) very pleasant location should have had two beers TFTH Awesome

Stopped by here today after church, not very many people around really. Found the cache easily and signed the log. Thanks for the hunt!

Published

Found at 1845hrs. When we saw this had just been published we thought maybe we should leave it for someone else to find first, but these thoughts were shortlived so we jumped in the car and lead-footed it to the cache. Absolute muggle city! Fortunately most were intent on feeding or watching the abundant birdlife, so another couple of people with cameras going weren't likely to be noticed. Found the cache and signed the miniscule log without any problems. What a wonderful park and nature reserve this is. With all these people enjoying the evening outdoors we did wonder if many of them would be voting for daylight saving. Thanks Machman for a good cache in an area that's really worthwhile visiting.
