Discerning Ditch Edgewater, Western Australia, Australia
By The Machman on 25-Aug-10. Waypoint GC2E2JA

had its day

Did not find

As previously mentioned, log was found in a slip of plastic in no container. Log is wet & full so was unable to sign. Log is still under said stone. Awaiting maintenance from owner....

Found a wet log book under a rock . Signed and replaced. Needs maintenance though

The jinta crew packed some food and fuelled up the car for a caching foray into the far north! It was a glorious day and we enjoyed our time up here.

The Machman - jinta29 found your cache Discerning Ditch on 23/08/2015 2:02 pm. This is my find #3608 and find #17 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Same as previous comment. Needs maintenance to return to original position, waterproofing and more log space to write on. Nevertheless a good cache and effort to place appreciated.thanks

Thank you! I don't think it is where it is meant to be, but I put it back where I found it. Log is quite damp, and is now full.

Found this one with my dad.

Out with bames2002 while the rest of the family was at Go Bananas. Grabbed a few munzees and caches.
Quick find of the log-less host. Soon found the log in its sleeve tucked away just below. TFTC.

Found it easy

Quick find after arriving at GZ. TFTC

thought this cache would of been in the obvious spot but it wasn't somehow stumbled across it in the dark sneaky one tftc

Geo M found this one nice and quick before the rain came down! TFTC

After eliminating the more obvious spots, I found the cache although the logbook has come away from the host. TFTC

I found it. I left my mark. I replaced it and I left. TFTC. Second attempt at this one, maybe because I was looking for something bigger. . Oh well, I got my smiley

Very quick find this morning as it was in the second place I checked. Looking at the cache, it is probably meant to placed elsewhere than where I found it though. Thank you for the hide The Machman.

Celebrating 15 Years of Geocaching today. TFTC!

I wasn't sure I was going to have win here after reading the last log. Arrived and started the hunt. I unwittingly found the log however disregarded it as rubbish. Kept the hunt going and spotted something after a 10 minute search. Noticed a few indication of where the log was then the penny dropped. Went back to the 'rubbish' and realised it was the log. TFTC.

Spotted this one out of the corner of my eye, sadly it was on the ground exposed so I have no idea as where its supposed to be hidden. Has been secured in a safe spot within the area I found it, its within accurate distance of the coordinates. Maintenamce required. TFTC!

Found exposed on the ground. Have emailed CO, as to where it was safely hidden within search area, until it has maintenance done.

Found with the Fabulous Panda, the 2nd visit here. Dont think its in the spot it is supposed to be but will message CO to check. TFTC ☺

Woo, 200. Clever cache for numero 200. TFTC

TFTC Machman. Maintenance is required. Cache has lost its stickiness.

I found it but why has it changed spots?

I returned to this spot today after bullyfam advised all was in order. Success! Obviously wasn't in any of the spots I checked previously. I do think this cache will need maintenance in the not too distant future as there is not much left keeping it in place. Also forgot to bring a writing implement, so I will need to return in the next few days to mark the log.
TFTC.

A good one again. May need a touch up soon.

Checked this cache after leaving work nearby today. Its all good and still in position.

Visited today but unfortunately DNF. I suspect this may have been muggled.

No find on this since October. I attempted today but no luck. I think I know where it should be but 'container' was empty.

Found it! Well, think we did... no logbook to be found?

Tftc

Tricky! Had us looking for a while! Tftc

Was looking for this one for quite a while this morn but wasn't in any of the obvious spots. Was about to give up but then had one more think and then 'ahh' there it was. Clever hide. tftc.

Quick park and grab as suggested, well sort of quick considering it's a Machman cache. Tftc

thanks to Olthomas for adding a log.

We weren't sure if it was that object. There was nothing under it.

Couldn't find

99.9% sure I found the cache but the logbook is gone. I've placed a fresh log in where I think it should be, and PMed Le Machman for confirmation before claiming the find.

Phew, The Machman confirms it was the cache and I didn't just put a logbook somewhere random. Should be good to go now. TFTC!

Tricky sticky. TFTH

Took us a while but found it in the end

Tftf. Ran into the CourageousClarkes whilst there. First time ive ran into other cachers

TFTC. Found TheCourageousClarkes while out and about! Always good to put faces to names! Clever hide as always!

Yay! Approached this geocache for our 3rd attempt & was aware of other geocachers. Met up with Social Harms and bbbadges thanks must go to them! Great to meet some geocachers esp those who have found ours previously (this morning). Thanks so much for this cache Machman! Very very sneaky indeed - I like

Here again - DNF - rains came. Stumped here?

Took us a little while found it in the end Tftc.

Clever. Remind me not to enter such tiny nooks.

Clever

Found on a quick outing from home, on a rainy Sunday afternoon...

Didn't - had good look. Found old iron bowl pictured. Seemed like it could have been the cache but it was empty?

Didn't find it.
Looked for this for a little while when I disturbed a snake that spooked me as much as the snake.
Will return in the winter to have another look.

Another good cache...clever..going nuts walking around that tree.

After meeting JacobsCrew at the last event, we decided to do a caching run together.
With a couple of emails, the location was decided.
So with an early start, we headed for Joondalup.
We had a great day, with a good variety of cache hides and managed to find most of them.
Thanks for the cache, The Machman.

I teamed up with The Drovers today to do a full day of geocaching today and we managed to put 71 smileys on our list today with a number DNFs on the way too. It was a pretty hot day today and that was going to be factor in the time we finish today. It was a fantastic day and I enjoyed the company of The Drovers. We all had turns in getting the finds and had a few periods of DNFs which made it tough going at times.Very sneeky here and Mr.Drovers was spot on with his find..TFTC

I tried looking for this one about a year ago. No luck on that day. I think it was one of my first attempts at finding a Machman cache. One year later, with more finding experience I found this within a couple of minutes. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, The Machman

This one is quite tricky! Didnt like the spider nests eeek tftc

Looked but couldn't find anything

found while Out with Dr.ibl ,Edwards 6027 and exodon2001

TFTC

Nice hide

TFTC

Found it on third attempt. TFTF.

Second attempt, got it this time! My GZ had me a few metres away but remembered a previous find from the master and success! Now to get the kids from gymnastics, hope they didn't mind me disappearing for a few minutes! Thanks Machman!

Tackled this one for the 9th day of August to get my souvenir. After a work out at the ECU gym, I headed around there with another local geocacher. She had already done this one, and didn't show me, but just reminded me of the name of the cache and who had placed it to make it an easy find.
TFTH.

Edited to change the date (again!)

Sorry, i couldn't find you!

GSAGC #625. 3rd time lucky Should've realised earlier that The Machman often resorts to this type of cache. TFTH.

The cache was closer to the ditch than we expected. Tftc.

Second visit and spotted within 30 seconds! TFTC.

Spent a good half hour looking for this one with no luck. Reading other comments, perhaps cache was blown away in strong winds earlier this week? Although knowing Machmans hides, there's a good chance I was staring at it and didn't realise. Live close by so will be back!

Approximately 1year later and over 100 caches, we returned to tackle this cache again. The recent couple of logs saying people found the cache gave us heart it was there.
A few minutes of searching and remembering the logs saying they had searched for 5 minutes before finding the cache was starting to fray nerves. A quick thought of other Machman caches had us thinking correctly and we too soon had the cache in hand.

TFTC

Our first cache of the day and a good start. Had a look round and found it within 5 mins.

TFTC

Urch was already up in Perth, so I jumped on a train and we met up at Stirling Station. From there we headed northwards. After our initial searchings proved fruitless, we reread past logs and searched again. Just when we thought it was long gone, there it was. We happily added our names to the log before returning the cache to its hiding spot. Thanks Machman

This one took a bit of seeking out. Searched high and low and then paid attention to where the title might suggest and found the log on the ground. Did some maintenance to hold it back in place, but a visit from the CO might be needed.
Thanks for the cache The Machman.

Not happy Machman. My second crack at this one but I'm still none the wiser. I note that a find hasn't been logged for over 2 months and that maintenance was recommended by previous finders. Also not sure what "other" means for size of cache [B)]

Sad face

Finally got around to finding cache closest to my work. Was a bit early so decided on a search before work. Nice hide. Refer to next log re condition of cache. Tftc

I recommend CO pays a visit during his next maintenance run. There isn't much holding cache in place. With winter approaching it could get blown away.

We had set the home co-ords after our adventurous day at the lake, and noticed this one close to the road as we drove along . I ventured to GZ solo, as master 3 was already asleep after all of his bike riding along the paths [xx(]. The obvious feature had me searching for a little while, but then i spotted something worth investigating ... oh look, a cache .. or a logless cache i should say . I looked down and spied the logbook on the ground, so after adding our name, i wedged it back up closer to its home.
TFTC The Machman

There wasn't much left holding it in pace when I found it. I had to be very careful not to break it it so I thought I'd recommend some maintenance.

BYOP as mentioned.

Quick ish find. Resident cockroaches keeping it company. Still dry despite looking a bit weathered. Tftc.

First cache after arriving from Victoria.
A quick find , but could use a bit of maintenance from the CO

TFTC

Quick outing for a cache fix!
Found no problems but may need a few repairs soon to keep log intact!
TFTC

Challenging find, great hide!

Quickest find of the day. Luckily I have completed Machman caches before otherwise I would still be looking. Another good cache Machman, TFTH.

well if you got me again but not for long I will be back

[:(!] Found this cache on our way to the IGD - Northern Get Together 2012 at Lake Joondalup, parked the geocar close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, after several minutes at GZ wondering around the tree we located the cache and we finally had it in hand. SL TFTC/TFTH

Returned and found.....many solved, many to go...signs of the times..

Not today...seems I solve one Machman puzzle only to be stumped by the next...but I do solve them..

Nice easy park and then a quick find..good one. Clever hide.
Thanks The Machman

Log replaced. All good here.

Another very sneaky Machman cache, this time taking a good 20 mins thanks to my gps playing tricks. SL TFTH!

Easy find .
Found with Basically Run!

TFTC
Lovely Cache.
Also saw a bobcat near the cache.
The animal one.

Just about to give up when I had a lightbulb moment and there it was!

I stopped for a quick look, but after a couple of minutes, started to get swooped by bees or wasps, so I didn't want to stick around. Will try another time.

I was meeting Meegs173 to attempt your Trivial Pursuit series. I could almost throw a ball from her bedroom window to GZ so had to detour to make this quick find. You may not be CO of the City of Joondalup but you're sure CO of "The Sneaky Cache Committee"! Thanks for the cache The Machman.

Teh Goast Ryder was here.

Ran out of daylight be back soon

Love it, cheers MM. Spent another 15mins looking for this one today, so satisfying when I found it haha.

Very clever! There is a log now. TFTF!

Good hide, but log missing.
