After 2 DNFs this morning I was pleased to find this clever one. Sunday morning in the rain is the perfect time to grab it -not a muggle in sight.
 
Replaced container, please put it back carefully
 
29-Oct-16
Couldn't find this one. Looked where we thought the clue meant, but nothing. Lucky no one was around as I felt a bit silly poking around there.
 
29-Oct-16
Had a good look around what we thought the clue was as the co-ords had us in some random place. Lucky it was after hours and no-one in the building. It has been sometime since it has been found and I think someone may have done what the clue said not to do.
 
25-Jul-16
Way small. In the black and orange. Just log book.
 
17-Jul-16
Wow what a tiny cache!

Quick park & grab. Awesome container. Struggled to get log out of cache, but then located a safety pin in the car first aid kit. SL. Busy little area this - even at night! TFTC!
 
10-Apr-16
Wahoo, found it!
 
09-Apr-16
Woo hoo found it and it was tiny
 
27-Jan-16
Probably the easiest find of the week, but then I had to work out how to get the log out of the cache! luckily a stray earing in the car became a makeshift tool. I have to admit - I was wondering where I was going to be walking to as I approached this cache!
 
17-Jan-16
Enlightening
 
17-Jan-16
Smile os so small
 
30-Dec-15
Either it was too dark for us, or we just couldn't find what was referred too in the hint to make this find. Maybe another time.
 
29-Nov-15
Funny lace for a cache but lucky for me it was mid Sunday afternoon and I made a quick find without seeing anyone around.
Cheers!
 
18-Oct-15
TFTC too easy
 
10-Oct-15
Took longer to find than it should!
 
03-Oct-15
Tftc tricky one
 
03-Oct-15
Tftc. Nice and easy!
 
This was a cold but quick dash after hours and keeps us on track for our school holiday mission. Cute container!
 
10-May-15
Visiting from Australia and while staying in Hamilton we decided to spend mothers day caching and exploring the area. This one was another quick park and grab. We like the cache container, we have done over 1000 caches and this is the first one exactly like that we have seen. Tftc.
 
19-Apr-15
A very small cache, glad we found it

Took longer than it should have but got there in the end
Thanks

My second day on a cache run to Taranaki together with Slieschke. Today the goal was to explore the Forgotten World Highway and to make our way back to Auckland. We decided to take a longer break in Hamilton to help celebrating its 150th birthday with fireworks and a Time Warp. No muggles around during the very late night hours. TFTC
 
22-Nov-14
Found caching with alpenmilch80 on day #3 of a 3 day road trip to the Taranaki.

Managed to locate the cache without too much troubles.

Thanks!
 
31-Oct-14
Found this a while ago and forgot to log it was a bit tricky with lots of muggles and thought we wouldn't be able to find it but we managed to succeed tftc
 
31-Oct-14
After reading the comments was afraid we wouldn't be able to get it out. But we managed it

Looking around where the coordinates state. Lucky for the hint!! Tftc
 
19-Sep-14

24-Aug-14
Coordinates were a bit out, but the hint ceratinly helped, as did a pen. Thanks for the hide.
 
12-Jul-14
Out and about with Gap (of Fap and Gap). We planned on a big round up of caches around Te Rapa... so we started off early. It rained as soon as we arrived in Hamilton, and never let up. I got so wet, I had to ask Gap to visit a second hand shop to get a warm, dry coat... All part of the adventure we had today.

It took the iPhone a little time to settle here. We figured where the cache was, but couldn't get at it. Gap pulled out some clever tools to extract this interesting cache container. TFTC.

29-Jun-14
I was sure I was looking in the right place but couldn't find it, I was standing on something slippery and wet which put me off hunting for longer
 
28-Jun-14
Found after reading hint, hand too big but pen helped, nice Saturday find.

5613. Went for a ride to Raglan today with NUFC. Did a couple of caches in town on the way. This was number 1. Went there last night but it was not there then. NUFC found the container straight away today. Put it back carefully. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris and NUFC.

29-Sep-12
Think I found this one??? - sneaky hide - TFTC
 
26-Aug-12
Cool one
 
18-Aug-12
The youngest nephew is always super excited about us visiting because that means geocaching. Planned out an afternoon of caches for us to find. Two nephews, four adults - always fun, but often not very inconspicuous.

Luckily the area was deserted on a Saturday afternoon. Initially misread the location a bit and ended up finding a security token, presumably for a nearby building. Oops. Put that back, re-read the location and made the proper find. Interesting container. TFTC.
 
29-Jul-12
Bit hung over today so thought I'd get some fresh air, #1 for the day
TFTC Smile

Easy find.
 
19-May-12
Lucky timing, we had just hopped back in the car when a worker drove in
 
18-May-12
Attempted a sneaky grab at the weekend and typically the only car in the whole industrial estate pulled up at the business just as we reached in. Explained what we were doing and geocaching and didn't seem bothered by it but might be worth a check later to see if still there. Apologies for getting muggled Sad
 
12-May-12
Easier than I was expecting, nice hide, TFTC
 
02-May-12
Quick find on my evening cache hunt. TFTC
