As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

I found location and a chiseled out rock but no cache

Nothing.

Has gone for sure

Found concrete corner but no cache

6 months no find, owner not online for 5 months, time to go?

On a day out caching along the coast with Butchie Bum, stunning weather and area, enjoyed caching along here, unfortunately we were unable to find this cache, found the hidey hole but no cache

Found a corner of concrete and 2 rocks but no cache. Does the new fence affect this find at all?

The drizzling rain and a near by muggle made the search for this one some what less than extensive. Tried looking at where the hint suggested as well as where recent logs say it should be, to no avail. Appears to have had significant landscaping done on the north side of the path not so long ago.
TFTH

Not where hint says. Maybe cache creep.

Yay! But has moved from original spot. Is now under two rocks close to corner of concrete (:

This was here a year or go, but seems to have been removed from its hiding spot.

I looked under the corner before and after the hint, I think it has been taken

Awesome

This one was found by Alice Lunar as I was fixated on the wrong area, possibly because the co-ords are out or the cache has creeped. She just walked up and went here! Decided to drop off a Travel Bug who wants to see the way people exercise around the world. Give it some love and move it on. TFTC #177

was a interesting find, concentrated on the wrong place but found it eventually TFTC

Found it year before but construction workers might have taken it away when they didn't know what it was

arrrr, looks like there is a new security fence erected? and men if uniforms waloking around. Can it still be publicly accessed for street?

Tftc

Found quickly
Tflc

Nice quick one here tftc

No 2 of the Easter weekend on devonport TFTC

We almost gave up, but not before reading the clue one last time. Turned around to go back, a very quick look in a different place and there it was! TFTC

WE FOUND IT! YEAH SENIORS. Thanks for hiding it! Xxx

Had a fun bike ride to find it

Hard to hide your activities from muggles here. Better search at night. Thanks.

Awesome cache

#2573.
#15 in NZ.

We greeted a marine defender as he walked past gz and then we quickly retrieved the container. TFTC!

We learned from our mistake the previous day in trying to find a parking spot in this busy city. This time we parked our camper in a motor parked and jumped on a bus to the city. From there we caught the ferry to Devonport and spent the whole day in the lovely city, exploring it by foot.

A big thank you to all the geocache owners for being our “tour guides” in New Zealand while we are on our short holiday visit to this extraordinarily beautiful country! We traveled the North Island in our little camper van and we came across minimal damaged caches and we only had very few DNF’s.

"Groete" all the way from South Africa!

Saw a wedding on the way lovely find

Found this one quickly walking around devonport with Passport11. Off to a great day in Auckland. Regards from San Carlos, California and TFTC!!

This was a quick find for the voucher while we were out exploring Devonport. TFTC

First time to this street in ages... The whole museum building has disappeared! Tftc.

The first cache today for us in Devonport.

Found while out exploring Devonport with SATONZ1999. Saw the interesting GeoCoin and have retrieved the trackable to move to a new location.

Spending a couple of hours caching around Devonport on a very lovely summer afternoon. Thanks skatelong.

Found it. No geocoin so hope someone has it. Left track able.

Nice easy find while visiting Devonport. Visited the naval museum on an earlier trip - definitely worth a visit. TFTC.

Interesting spot. Cool area. Love the canon nearby tftc

Cool spot, needs anew log this one is all full up. Tftc!

Second in my devonport series. Great hiding place, nice gates opposite, not sure about navy guards watching us lol.

Nice quick easy find, left TB took T-Rex. TFTC

An easy found! TFTC!!!!!

First cache of the day with MisterAnthony and the geohounds. A lovely stroll, and it was sniffed out quickly! TFTC

The logbook was full, so I left a little piece of paper for a few other cachers. A new logbook will be required soon though.

TFTC, a pleasant walk around town. dropped TB

My first visit to NZ. So I brought a nice Geocoin with me. Devenport is also a nice little town so i thought it's the right time to let the coin go it's own way.

Thx for the cache at a special location. Greetings from Switzerland.

This was found together with the kids AHougaard and KHougaard

After the three events today, we went to beautiful Devonport to visit and old colleague I worked with abroad. We did a little geocaching along the way.

This was an easy find!

Thanks a lot for the cache

I found it together with my mother (Aaquist) and sister (KHougaard

Thanks for the cache

I found this together with my mother (Aaaquist) and brother (AHougaard).

Thanks for the cache

Found in a quiet lane with no-one around. Thanks for showing me around Devonport!

Went for the obvious but GPS was on the mark this time! Kids lived it. Euro coin out and replaced with a gogo.

Our gps did they is close but the hint helped.... Tftc
By the way log book is very full so hard to find space to write...

A quick find on our way back to our accommodation at the end of our loooong caching day. TFTC.

Had a bit of a drive around the area where we are staying during the Mega event and found ourselves here....right near a cache! It was quickly located and we were off in search of dinner. TFTC

Interesting wee spot. I'd never been so close to the Naval Base before. TFTC

Quick find at GZ thanks to the hint!
The Geocoin isn't here.
IN: euro coin
OUT: plastic soldier

Out and about with the Mini Future Finder caching in Devonport this afternoon. Parked up nearby and made a super quick find in the obvious spot. Log-book is getting full, though I found a space towards the front. Cheers for the cache placement.

A little bit of inventive parking and the cache was soon in hand TFTC

Our one and only cache we got while in Auckland. Nice and easy, quiet evening. TFTC

We headed to the wrong spot at first, thoroughly confusing a gardener muggle nearby. Had a rethink and soon made the find. Admired the big naval gun turret nearby. TFTC!

Tftc

Found nice n quick with the the three musketeers

Good quick park and find. Cache in good order. TFTC.

Nice quick find on my Devonport mission thanks !

45.000 km around the world with stops in Dubai, Bangkok, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Thank you for placing the cache at this place.

It was at this moment that our GPS decided to die (despite thinking we did charge it last night!) and the smartphones weren't co-operating, so we searched around for suitable hint items in order to locate the cache. Firstly, we were miles off, but then we soon got the smartphones to co-operate and then had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache! Lots of goodies in here! Dropped off a TB.

Yay!! A great cache and a great location for it.
Log book needs replacing, was VERY full

out for the dayy in devonport. took me a while to realise how to get it out. nice collection tftc. running out of space in log book:)

I was convinced it was where it wasn't, but f course it was!

I found it!!! it was my first cache!!! it was hidden very well there were some very cool stuff in there
and I can't wait to find my next cache!!!

it took a while but in the end we found it, it was very tricky we were almost about to give up on searching for it,and it was my first geocache!!!

Thanks

Sean's first Cache

Fairly easy to find

Les PeARL sont passes par la.

Nice location. Took a friend for her first ever cache and she loved the experience.
Got a strange look from a navy person walking past but didn't get asked about it so all good

Clever hiding spot! The old museum is currently being demolished but don't worry, you can still easily get the cache. TNLN

Quick find. TFTC

Nice easy one

Super easy find using the hint! 14/365. TFTC

TFTC!

Managed to complete the paperwork after having to wait for a couple of cheerful muggles to move along. TFTC
