Toorak's Treasure (Canterbury) Sockburn, South Island, New Zealand
By shandom007 on 15-Sep-09. Waypoint GC1YP5B

As there's been no cache to find for months, 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.

Cache has been out for a long time. I suggest you archrive or replace

Coming down this weekend - anything happening here? Been out for a very long time.

Scream - printed this off a while a go and fogot to check before we set off

needs a check ?

same story for me

I managed to have a reasonable look but no joy.

Very exposed. Has a bit bit of a search, but quickly got muggled. Maybe more of a night cache?

J without K on a quick afternoon raid of the area whilst down in the south visiting rellie. Felt too exposed to undertake a careful search. Maybe another day.

Quick and easy find TFTC

Had a scratch. But really need to be here in the dark.

Darn - only our third cache of a six day marathon and it was a DNF. Plenty of potential assistance from a man, his dog, a mum and her kid still wasn't enough to make the find. A DNF for Team McWindeluneX7. Bother!

286. Woo-hoo and my first international DNF. Zsazsa7 made a friend and even he couldn't help us find it.

Attempting our third cache in NZ, we were descended upon by mothers with toddlers and a man with a dog. He seemed to know about geocaching but not where the cache was, so we left after a reasonable look around but no find, thanks.

nope could not find this today

A quick early evening walk to cache, other sie of town for us, picking up a trademe purchase.
TNLN

Can anyone confirm the cache is still there [?]

Another DNF to add to the list. Out with Old Boots & Rosie.

Didn't check logs before looking. Had a 5 min look and DNF

Can the owner of this cache please either check to see that the cache is there (and if it isn't then replace or archive it) or if it has been removed for maintenance then let us know?

Couldn't find this one, am the third in a row - has it been removed for maintenance, perhaps, as previous comments suggest that it needs some.

Unfortunately A second DNF for me. (mr_spider formally known as nzgeorgemoon)

Couldn't seem to find this one

A suprisingly quick find. Cache filled to the brim with water unfortunately, the lid is cracked. Still managed to make our mark in the logbook but maintenance urgently needed.
TFTC

With ADV swimming with water, like ADV said matince needed urgently.

Cache found completely full of water, seems to have a cracked lid.

This was so close to the window of the neighboring house so I didn't even bother poking around in the bush, which was starting to look well trampled.

TFTC! Great find. We enjoyed the playground aswell.

Had a quick look on the way home, but felt rather exposed and uncomfortable due to the neighbours right opposite, plus the people across the road. Might be a better spot along the back fence that is a bit more discreet.

No muggles around and a quick find.

Nice cache cheers.

We could not find it. Will try again another day.

Unfortunately, I didn't find this cache - perhaps its been muggled.

Muggle collecting rubbish from around GZ, right on it in fact.

i you think its hard because of the neighbours you should be dissapointed in yourself

The cache was alittle uncovered and I could see it from the grass, so moved it in a bit and covered it well - TNLN TFTH - Aslan*

After scratching around unsuccessfully for a while read previous log and decided to walk away. GZ was a bit close to neighbours outlook.

Sorry, we weren't impressed with the location. We assume it is somewhere in the badly battered bush, but we weren't able to find it, while searching surreptitiously, trying to avoid being seem by the neighbour working in his garden. Then a muggle and mother arrived to play, so we had to leave.

The old fella said some kids were playing with it....

nice spot but can be a bit hard with lots of muggles near by.

GZ was a little out for my gps, found after considering the most likely hiding places, TNLN TFTC

Found on a Saturday afternoon. The muggles who live nearby know about the cache and as I rolled up, they asked me if I was looking for it. GZ puts you into a flowerbed that is full of new flowers, but you don’t have to step on or over them to get to the cache which was a relief. Nice hide. Cheers!

TFTC, TNLN.

A nice easy find this afternoon after out waiting 2 muggles 1- large 1- small . I had just replaced the cache when another 2 small muggles appeared and proceeded to climb the trees. That was close lol.. TFTC. Cheers Bo

An easy find and we do so need these. Lets one appreciate the surroundings. Nice park. TNLN Thank you. No muggles at all

Quick find in a previously unknown park only a few kms from home.
TFTC.

#931 (3/7 on a trip round Chch). Been our closest to home for a while. Called in late morning and the park was deserted. Quick find. TFTC.

Found this one with Moneydork TFTC.

Done after dark. TFTC

No writing implement in the log, so I had to etch my name in the notebook cover with my car key Cheers Gav [4394]

I'll put a pen in it tomorrow morning, I tried to the other day, but it was being guarded by muggles

Easy find in a nice park.2nd for the day.

Had no trouble finding the cache Left a Blue Butterfly TN TFTC

Found cache during working hours so took a clipboard and pretended to be OFFICIAL!!

Second time lucky. A nearby neighbour looks after this area so please do not trample over it, it is not necessary. He knows about geocaching and is very friendly. TFTC

Nice quick find,as there were no muggles around today,took Flare TB. TFTC

A bit of a rummage around the place hopefully out of sight of any neighbours and finally came up with the goods. Dropped in Flare TB. Thanks.

Good camouflage but a reminder to everyone to be careful hunting in shrubs etc. There is damage already to the shrub involved and it may as well have a flashing light on top saying "Geocache in here". TFTC Cache is missing a pen-sorry we didn't have a spare. Took TB SILA Left USA Geocoin.

easy find thanks

Well done on your first cache. Hope to see more soon.

2866. Luckily the family group left as we pulled up in the car and the next group arrived as we were walking away! It was a quick find - it needs to be in a spot like this!

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Great cache. Nice hiding spot! Couldn't see it till it was right in front of me! Got wet searching around the hiding spot! (Cos it was raining) Nice work on the camo.

Published

How could I resist? So close to home. And I love dashing off for FTFs when I should be writing an essay.
Seems like a nice park (hard to tell in the dark) a new one for me. Didn't take too much searching to locate the cache. Nice work on the camo
A note to new placers: watch the container, it doesn't have waterproof seal and may be prone to damp (learnt that one the hard way!)
Other than that a great new cache. Thanks!
