Gopher Gold Modbury, South Australia, Australia
By Bob From Elsewhere on 06-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1TAMA

The search continues for a new location for Gopher Gold.
The pictured locations were checked and found to be occupied with existing caches.
Gopher Gold will be replaced elsewhere.
Fine Elsewhere

As stated earlier the area where the cache was hidden has been covered with mulch and is now too hard to find.
The cache will be relocated when a suitable location is found.

Bob attended our event and even placed this cache to be discovered whilst he is waiting for a more suitable place for the cache.


TFTCSL

Found at the event down at semaphor, thanks BFE for allowing for us to log it.

The location has been recently covered by 300mm of mulch increasing the difficulty to 10.
I had difficulty locating the cache under the mulch and found it on the third attempt.
The cache may have to be replaced in a new location.

A nice easy find!

Nabbed this one on the way home from some caching 'up north' (i.e. for the Allchins)!

Thanks Bob for the cache and another one to add to our tally.

TFTC,

TFTC. I don't know how many time we must have walked past this one in our pre-caching days! TNLNSL

NICE HIDE, NICE AND EASY
TFTC

Found tonight on a caching adventure with Jacqui&Steve.
Also found the sleeping rosella in a nearby tree stump.

Someone had let off a stink bomb in the cache, leaving it very unpleasant to deal with.
Jacqui cleaned it up and added a new bag for the log and returned it.

Mr&Mrs Fluffy

Thankyou for the cache, sadly it had been Vandalized with a fart bomb which didnt stink but made quite a mess.
After a good cleanup cache is ok again but for how long.
Mr Fluffy made a wonderful discovery, a lovely Rainbow Lorikeet in a hollowed out, ankle high stump nearby.
Regards,
Jacqui&Steve

A tad shtinky when we opened up TFTCSL

Yay! A cache that made a hundred finds Congradulations

Going for quick gold
From up the tree I spy it
And slap my forehead

Posting old logs to a new team.

TFTC!

Very clever. TNLN

Sent from my mobile device.

A nice quick find today after doing some shopping nearby.
Had to wait for some school kids to clear out before uncovering the cache.
Cheers BFE and happy caching.

Made A New Account Found It On My Old One TFTC

Very nice hide. Found it on the way to the library. TFTC

Didn't find it at night but did find a sleeping Rosella in the nearby tree stump down below ground level!

Found it TNLNSL TFTC

Busy place in the middle of the day, but a nice easy find. TNLN TFTC

Found after a few laps walking in circles.

Team Shrek4

Log book is full.

Was going to the library and then after i found this cache. TFTC

Found it during rain and hail. Great cache had to hang around in the rain longer than expected to avoid muggles. TNLN.

Looking at GZ from where I managed to park up the geo-ute I figured where the cache would be. Saying nothing I searched the area where I thought it would be, alas I was distracted by the sound of a voice saying "It is over here you drongo". Beaten again... Another good Bob cache, cheers Bob

Pulling up in the carpark with the Geo-ute, Nowhere2Bseen drove up to where he thought GZ was. Being almost 11pm there were not many muggles about at all, so that ensured an easy hunt around. Nowhere2Bseen headed off to where he thought it was... but I went my own way, and next thing I piped up 'its over here'... 5th and final find for me for the night.
Loved the location, and loved that the night ended up with me in the lead for finds.... maybe karma has a way of turning itself around. TFTC

Thanks Bob, fun find while in the area.Took Trixter pathtag,will find it a new home, left gold clip.Geokid did great job at tricking those muggles!

Quick find. Able to log without any issues
TFTC

Checked the log book has lots of blank pages but will replace it soon.

TFTC

log book is full needs replacing

Bit difficult to be subtle sitting right in front of a car park, and next to a busy main road, but in the end the gold was mine.

Log book is full needs replacing

I could have parked a whole lot closer than I did for this one but, it was a nice afternoon for a stroll... [^] At GZ I had to bide my time while a muggle move on in her car but once clear, I went for gold and struck it lucky...

Cheers Bob from Elsewhere.

The must be a connection somehow between this cache and the area that was used for orienteering today - there were a number of areas on the map that had been mined for gold.

Thanks Bob, a crafty hide that had me stumped for a few minutes.

clever hiding space, good night time cache. TNLN SL TFTC

DID NOT FIND ANY HIDDEN GOLD OR TRAVEL BUGS

HAD TO WAIT FOR CARS TO VACATE THE VICINITY BEFORE SEARCHING FOR CACHE

TFTC

TB Drop

Was a pretty easy find which is good for our first cache hunt, especially as it was about midnight and quite dark.

First find for The Pack!

Yay! After yesterday's solo attempts geoD finds one on his own! Took a little wandering until the iPhone got me in the right spot to see it.

Log is a little damp and it is getting hard to find somewhere to sign.

TNLN SL TFTH

Had to wait for a large group of elderly muggles to catch their bus and some council worker muggles to break for lunch but then it was easy enough to quickly find the cache, sign the log and leave before anyone noticed.

Clever little hide after we searched the other two objects, Like the cache name.

Eureka! Quick. find after the GPSr settled down! TNLNSL TFTC Bob

Ha!
Love all the gold!
TFTC

Last find today, thankyou for the cache.

Found at 3:00 PM. WOW! That's a big nugget. Hmmm! No it's not.
Oh well, it makes a good cache camo.
Clever hide, but be wary of muggles. Taking stones out of shoes and re-tying shoelaces will be very popular around GZ. LOL!
TFTC

Too many muggles enjoying lunch outside on a glorious autumn day to enable a decent look.

We were looking in the wrong spot for a second or two, before Mr Wibble spotted a likely spot and uncovered some great camo. Love your work.

TFTC, Took TB

Found gold nuggets and cache good hidden.There bit muggles this area. Placed t/bugs.T.N.S.L.

T.F.T.C

Once again the geo child found it apparently hes the one with the 'thinking brain', but still had fun looking. thanks

Found with J from team j@m! Faiy easy one, tftc!

This was my first one for today and my first one in Adelaide. It was not to difficult to find and a very good start for my short cachingtour on my way back from Tea Tree Plaza. TFTC othi

No muggles around at the time, so had to find it in a hurray. Luckily I did and had it signed and on my way without any problems with muggles. Never realised there was gold so close to North East Rd. TFTC

We enjoyed a nice family breakfast across the road and then wandered over for a Golden find, SL TFTC Dipped GC as it has not been up this way before

Ha d to wait for a few muggles walking by. Quick grab and back in place before more muggles came by. Thanks

Went to find this cache at 2100. Great location. Good night cache if u want to avoid muggles. A poor lady was stranded in the car park in the dark because her battery died. So I was able to give her a push start and send her home. I feel like a good sammaritan now. Cache bonus I guess.

As a semi regular at the library, our visits will not be the same knowing there is gold in them thar parks.
Would be worried about muggle discovery in high traffic area.
TNLN. TFTC.

No muggles around late at night made this an easy find. TFTC

Find# 620
2nd find of the day.
Took: Nothing / Left: Nothing
First evening of serious caching for 2010.
Another enjoyable evening caching with AdrianMc.
We spied the Gold and we gophered it and won a similie.
Quite appropriate given that the Vancouver Winter Olympics were on.
Thanks for the cache Bob From Elsewhere!
Jardry

Nice touch, that gold rock! TNLN. TFTC.

Found between muggles. Thanks Bob

Gotta log a DNF for this one.... Searched all around GZ and only come up with some toy animals and a biro on the ground in the area... Wondering if this may have been muggled or we are just plain blind... There was also a lot of muggles who were being rather persistant in the area which made it hard to look... TFTC...

Out caching with Geograndkids, down from N.T. on xmas holidays. An easy find and the kids loved it. T.F.T.C.

hmmmmmmmmmmm wish it was real! hahahah tnln tftc

10th of 44 finds

Found at 10:02 which would be about the time a school holiday activity was starting at the library because there were cars everywhere.
TFTC

On a caching adventure with TBG. After a short walk from a nearby car park, we started to look here. cars everywhere, no problems for GK1. Thanks.

Clever Hiding spot. TFTC

Revisit to drop off the Foodie Bowl TB.

Had to be careful dodging the muggles. Got there after a few interuptions and a lot of perseverence. Thanks for the cache!

Found this one with Strats and AussieTeddie just before we left for a Motorcycle Ride to Birdwood

Found with a couple of mates. TFTC.

Second go and I found it. TFTC

Find 09 of 50 in a two day caching run around Adelaide.
It sure was warm but I loved tracking down caches.
Thanks for providing fun in my Holidays.

Clever loved it

found it 2nd time round. first find with future geowife by my side. she was very excited. tftc took bus tb left chicken.

The Noodler found the cache. Left TB.

No rainbows today, and there won't be any for a while according to the weather forecast. But the pot of gold was definitely there. Not too many muggles to worry about at this time of night, but I bet this area gets busy during the day.

TNLN - Thanks Bob!

At last an ultimate driveby and another clever and bold hide.
Liked it a lot on a day where it is almost too hot to cache.
Thanks

Definitely in plain view this one. Probably looked odd to passing motorists. Easy find nonetheless. TFTC

Out caching with Wessarah. Clever hide in an open area. Left key ring. TFTC

An easy find on a quick visit to local library.
Lovely park but had to watch for cars and muggles..

Found on a hot day while caching with Acts2youthgroup. Found quickly thankfully and a bit of fun there too. After this we went straight to the nearby servo for cold drinks.

This was cache # 36 of 65 for the day, in the company of Alansee on our five day long weekend Adelaide caching Bonanza. I sat on top of GZ for the find, I sure wish it was real. My thanks to Bob From Elsewhere for the cache.

Last find for the afternoon. Not many muggles around to deter finding & returning.

Found late at night with a GPS
Gold doesn't look like gold late at night with a hi power torch shining onto it
But once I felt the gold I knew I hit jackpot
Thanks Bob from elsewhere

Found on the Keeping Ahead Tour 2009
Last night find out with Skippy.
I checked there and found nothing, then Skippy finds it after I said there was nothing there:.
Thanks

nice easy find good location, no gophers today

Nice one...another quality bob job. Found during the Bay to Birdwood, Loads of people around, but stopping at the GZ to watch the passing cars was the perfect ruse while all the muggs were kerbisde looking the other way!
TFTC, no swaps but took the tb to move on.
Maux, Minimaux, Missy Maux and Old Man Maux.

I checked this cache out on GC and decided that we are probably not up for it yet. Then our team navigator decided to choose this one while driving around (it was on our list just in case The GPS took us right on top of it, but it still took our youngest member to find it with us parents stumped. The cache has some very nice items. Left TB, took nothing. TFTC

Dropped "Rescue the Green Dolphin!" into cache.

Presenting at the council offices here, so I just wandered outside to grab this one. Pretty brazen location. But fairly well hidden. TNLN. Thanks.

Dropped by to pick up the Mini TB to take to Melbourne next week.
