5 More Nanos #5 Como, Western Australia, Australia

Couldn't find this one this morning...

GPS said I was all over it like a cheap suit but didn't come up with the booty.
Many hiding spots for a nano so I may have missed it but I did spend some on the job.
Maybe the owner or a previous finder can confirm its still at the published co-ords.

I'm not beaten I'm just postponing the find! Will be back with a friend and a different set of eyes!

Found by mark. Log full. Tftc. Ihn!

Another year has passed and am in the area again... so another try, for a third time lucky!
Thanks for the cache Mickeydv.

Sooo many spiders around

Took a while to find, but soon had in hand just as we were about to give up. Was difficult to extract!
TFTC

Good cache but easy find
TFTC

Nearly gave up

Took a little while to get this nano but got it in the end. Found with BlaKids TFTC

GPS's were leading us astray a bit at first. A bit more poking and searching and the cache was in hand. Thanks LouBla for your help. TFTC.

[:(!] Went for an evening of caching before going to square dancing, packed the car, unloaded the geobike and I was on my way, arrived at GZ and after several minutes of looking in all the wrong spots, I was just about to leave in frustration when I spot the likely spot and I was right, it took a while to retrieve it but finally I had the cache in hand. SL TFTC/TFTH

Strike two!!

found on bike ride with Dad...tftc

A good tricky hide. Had to use a tool to extract it.

Out on a caching run through South Perth and surrounds with The Machman.

Following the trusty list when we realised we were driving straight past this one. So I was allowed to stop and sign the log of this one as MM had found it previously.

TFTC Mickeydv

A clever and quick hide

Bbit hard at night

We had to fashion a special tool to extract this little blighter as it was just out of reach, but we got him out in the end. TFTC.

found under another name....tftc

After doing another MDV cache nearby I continued along to this cache. My initial search location turned out to be wrong and then I was disturbed by a muggle. I waited nonchalantly whilst having a drink and what should I spot but the nano. Once the muggle had moved on I moved in for a now easy find. TFTC.

Day 25 ...and for a moment there I thought I was going to have to start all over again...but third cache of the day lucky Relatively quick find after I stuck my fingers in all the wrong places. TFTC Mickeydv

Nice quick find. I love nanos.TFTC.

Found easily Tftc

Quick cache on the way home from the inlaws. TFTC.

After a busy week in Perth it was nice to see a cache near where I was staying and I thought I'd give it a go before I flew out. A short walk and when the GPS beeped I looked and for me the coords were spot on. Fat fingers are never good for these things but it was retrieved easily enough and returned to await its next finder.

TFTC

After failure at number 1, so a failure here was on the cards.

I rang the Micky help line who told me to look in the first spot I looked. I looked.

Nufin. Nufin.

I dared to put my finger in to where the red backs are. I bent my finger how it should not be bent..... and I could feel the pesky nano.

No way we would have got that. I replaced a little kinder.

OK, deserved of the nano rant. You know you want it.

Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who sells Nanos.

Thanks to Mickeydv and clear skies from TeamAstro.[/blue]

Big thanks to the owner give us more hint - finally find it via torch... SL. Thanks Mickeydv.

Because of the number of DNF's on this we knew we had to look for something nasty - it was!

Found after a ten minute search, luckily Mrs Blingg's finger could retreive it as I was likely to get mine stuck
TFTC

Felt we were in the right spot but couldn't find it. damn the Iphone GPS - kept pointing us somewhere different - have to get a decent GPS

Peeled off the pack at Kintail Rd to find It's all majestic. DNF and the area in which I was peering was far from majestic. Desperate to get to work and no time to find cache this afternoon...only other option Mickeydv's nano I'd been avoiding! Rode over the bridge near the scouts down Melville Pde. Ended up being a great decision since the nano was in my hand before the old chap desending the bridge could appear. Almost lost it, never to be found, but luckily it remagnetised before it rolled away. Took my shoes off to traverse the rocks to sign the log. As always, a kind stranger jogged over from the adjacent footpath within a minute of my bum hitting the railing. Gave a charming smile and said, "No, no, thanks, I'm fine." Couldn't come up with a decent excuse so didn't bother trying. It's so lucky nanos are easily disguised. Thanks for the cache Mickeydv.

Day 81... Just one...

Nicely hidden, another good use of a nano!

TFTC

A bit easier this time around. Good for us as only 200m from home. Tftc

replaced with CO's permission, old cache had gone in too deep, should be an easier find now
tftc

quick look on the way home just before dark but without success.

Only had time for a quick look, alas no luck. Hopefully i'm not blind.

After scratching my head and any other space that might contain one of these little sods I phoned a friend who told me where it was - where I had already looked... or more accurately, felt. So re-investigated, this time with a better tool to my fingers but found nothing.

Been back twice and still failed. Some help?

Been here twice and still can't find it

Took a bit to find this one

My fat fingers really didn't work too well here. SL TFTC Mick

Quick and easy find on a lightening Caching
trip to South Perth with the family.

TFTC.

Found this one whilst out Caching with my dad.

Probably the most accurate my gps has been in a long time, at 4m, but no dice with this one. Interesting to note how particular the description is about coords...sigh; just need to try harder next time

Found it on my way back home on the weekend. No pen on me so no log! Cheers from Canada! Go Canucks!

Walked to and from GZ a number of times, always came back to the same spot. The two of us searched, attracted some muggle interest, explained concept to one who left very interested in geocaching. Looked for anything that looked like a nano. No luck this time

TFTC. A quick find while on a trip to Perth for work! Found with my geofriend Tik.

Yay finally found my first geocache! thx to help from my geeky buddy now I know what to look for!!

Found this one on our way back from another cache back to the car. Nice bridge or not but it is a realy good spot to have nice view across the river. Nice little cache, nearly misst it but still.... TFTC

This was my second cache ever and my first nano. I was on my way home from work without a pen so i couldn't fill out the log. An interesting hide. TFTC!

Nice hide let Gps settle to zero metres and stood and looked.
Thanks for this series very enjoyable.

Another one of those that we just need to trust the GPS and LOOK carefully. A good hide. TFTH

Woohoo I was very happy to find this one on my second attempt after spending a long time here searching on the first attempt quite some time ago. With a bit of inside information from a fellow cacher I was lucky to approach from the right angle this time, and found the hiding spot in the first place I looked - not a spot I had checked last time. A very clever hide! Took a bit of time to retrieve the cache, but I was soon back on my bike on the way home.

Thanks for the cache Mickey!

A sneaky little hide, found relatively quickly really. TFTC

Finding where it was turned out to be easy. Retrieving it was a bit more difficult!
TFTH

Ya! Our 300th find and very satisfying to finally get this one but admittedly on our second attempt. TFTC.

We parked a bit north of GZ today and walked to the cache. As I was walking I was noting how the structure was made and I discovered some hidey holes as I walked up to and past it. I wondered if there was some farther down and yup! that nasty nano was in the first place I looked. Probably a record time for one of your nanos!
TFTC

We had been here once before months ago for a look early one morning but the constant stream of muggles cut short our search. We received a hint from Mickey and today tried again in one of the places we had previously searched. The cache was ours within seconds and the log signed. It makes such a difference if you know where to look.

Found it on this beautiful day cycling around Perth.

No 5 Found at last! This has involved a long time searching over several weeks. I was encouraged to try again following the recent successful finds of this nano. TFTH MDV!!

Received a hint at a "mini-event" last weekend and came back again to have a look. dalel was right that a cache is often in the first place you think it is. TFTC!

I received a tip on the location of the cache and headed out there this afternoon. On initial inspection, I could not see anything, and wondered if it had been muggled. I headed off to find another nearby cache before returning to this one. On the way back I decided to use a piece of nanoverse technology to see if the cache was beyond visual range, and sure enough I managed to entice the little fella out of its hiding place - covered quite considerably in cobwebs. TFTC

Bloody nanos. Spawn of Satan. Burn down the nano factory and exterminate anyone who sells nanos.

Yeah, spawn of satan amidst spider central is not so good for the arachnophobe.

As I pulled up on my bicycle and pretended to be doing some road side maintenance, Miss Have-a-Chat came over concerned to see if there was something wrong. From her big window across the road she espies a strange assortment of people peering under the walkway. She was concerned that they were trying to help a stranded animal and offered to call the RSPCA. I gave her the short version of the game and she was happy no animal was in danger. Now she is concerned that I will lose points in "the Searching Game" due to her being a busy body and approaching me. So MickeyDV don't dock me any points OK. Or Miss Have-a-Chat will feel bad. When she finally returned to her big window I tried to continue with the search but after two sets of cyclists stopped to offer me help with my bike I gave up!!!

Had a pretty thorough search around, but finally had to admit defeat.

wot, 02keilj and I looked in all the obvious places for this one, but still didn't manage to find anything.
The light was fading, we were getting hungry, and I think the neighbours across the road were probably getting curious as to what we were doing, so we left this as a DNF.
We'll have to try again some other time.

It's always where you first think it is, you just need to look closer. TFTH

I wasn't dressed for geocaching today for we had gone out to a friends place and happened to be passing by when we decided to stop and have a quick look. I felt terribly conspicuous checking out gz dressed in a Jacket, carrying a handbag and wearing boots with heels ...... I had a surprise whe the Kat found it and so quickly too ..... for I had actually looked where the Kat had looked and didn't see a thing! Ah well, one doesn't have 9 eyes for nothing .............. Thanks Mickeydv for setting this one up. I can't wait to meet you one day, for you have caused me (and are still causing me) many sleepless nights .......................... I must stop looking at your puzzles at night and find something else to do ....... macrame might be less stressfull ......................... TFTC!!

Found it! I LOVE NANOS. It's great to find more on this side of town though this was the first and last find of the day A very sneaky hide. TFTH Mick!

*FTF* 14:45

After a morning in Rockingham and then lunch at home I noticed this series of caches had been published after I had left this morning so I ambled over to try and find them.

I spent some time earlier at this cache but saw that a shower was arrving and that a muggle owner opposite was taking a lot of interest in what I was doing so left to find #4. After finding that one I came back and quickly finished up searching and found the cache in the first place I had looked but missed seeing it the first time I was here.

Thanks for the cache.

Searched roughly 100 hiding spots and didn't find the cache
