Its not my day, again nothing found

No good

I believe the Bogor was repainted and repaired recently. It might be the reason why people haven't been able to find it since December.

Lots of spider webs no cache.

No Way... my eyes wouldn't make it to find at late evening..
thanks

No luck for us today. Many spiderwebs made us reluctant to stick our hands in. Obvious??

Tftc easy find

Quick find. Our second as new residents of finley

Thanks for an easy find as these guns are not my favourite cache log signed club gardens beautifully kept . Thanks

A little too obvious for us today.
Next time...

Tftc log is full thank you for bringing us here

A quick and easy find as we cache our way around the area for a couple of days. Normally I don't like this type of hide at all, a micro or nano on an artillery piece or a train, but Geoturtle37 wanted a look and the cache was in hand surprisingly easily. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Apologies for the late log. TFTC

After spending QUITE a bit of time at the last cache, we were hoping for a quicker find here. I went to the most obvious spot first, but turned up nothing. After spending some time picking bindis out of my shoe while the guy across the road put his bin out, I went to some other spots but turned up nothing either. Finally I went back to the original spot I looked and found that I'd overlooked it then. Ah well, at least its done now. Thanks for the hide.

A long weekend and another trip with the geo 'rents and geobro'. What a cool way to spend Easter
Headed for Albury for 2 nights and then Bendigo for 1 night and we took each day as the caches came. A turn here, a turn there, a dirt track here and there and miles and miles of bitumen [^]
LOL, I've just seen one of geobro's cache logs and it reads very much like mine
Although he forgot to mention that he not so kindly shared his viral germs with geomum and I! [xx(]
Today I found 23 caches and had 3 DNFs

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

I said 'cool, a gun cache' and the boys said 'oh no!'
There is only so much metal and if you search thoroughly.... covering every millimetre of gun... you will find the cache!
Which we did and so we did

TNLN. SL. TFTC Blacklegend

A nice quick find - TFTC

We're off on a four day geofamily (Geodad: moneydork, Geomum:Tounga, Geosis: locus cache and geobro: ME) road trip adventure heading to Albury and Bendigo. A lot of miles were covered, many sights seen, lots of laughs, mirth and merriment during the trip. Oh, we found a few caches along the way as well.

A quick find while doing the rounds of the obvious spots.

Thanks for the cache Blacklegend.

Along with 4BakerBoyz we couldn't find it. From other logs it seems well hidden but didn't know how respectful it was to be pulling things off/open to find. Hopefully will try again next time we are in town

12597 caches found

Grabbed this one on our walk ... quickly found .... Walking around Australia for Prostate and Breast Cancers


took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache Blacklegend

Not having a water craft to go fetch Finally at Finley, we thought the chances of finding a micro on a Bofor might be easier pickings. Yep, found it on the second pass and thanks to the hint. SL at 4.10pm #3406 TFTC Blacklegend

Eeeaaasssyyy find

Found it

Cool find Ta

You just have to love a gun that gives up it's treasure without to much trouble. SL TFTC

We fairly liked this find. TFTC

Found with tips from gcpro.co.uk

☺TFTC was a good break off road for the little one

One look at the cache name gave me the shivers [:o]
So off I strolled on a Saturday morning around Finley towne.
Sure 'nuff the cache hiding location came into view.

As a caching connoisseur of micros on guns, I was struck by how well this particular bit of military has been restored !! [^]
And while this isn't the first wheel mounted Bofor I have searched for a cache, it is definitely the best restored

Well this cache could be in any of a thousand hidey holes
Thankfully it was not [:o]
First place I looked and there was the cache
Sorta makes up for all those other nastier caches on guns that I have or have not found over the years [^]

TFTC !!

Hi

High

A busy place at midday on a Wednesday. Spent about half an hour and then returned to the van and checked previous logs. Then went straight to it - which was ironic considering that was the first place we both looked. Just didn't check it thoroughly enough. Thanks.

Found after a short search. Usually we have trouble with this type. TFTC.

With Dallas

Someone has added some paper for the log, thanks so much for that. Up and running. NM attribute now removed.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat.

Making our way south to Melbourne now, it's amazing seeing all the other travellers heading north! Are we heading the wrong way

Currently staying at Apex Beach we headed out today to see what Finley and Tocumwal have to offer!

Geocaching takes us to some amazing places and your cache certainly helped with that.

On way to Brisbane for few days to celebrate my friend turns to 60th Birthday
When I arrive there oh no [xx(] hope I can make a quick but I did.
Found it
Thanks Blacklegend

Thanks for an easy find on a fine day in FinleyTFTC

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

I like it

Another one of the list

we have tried this one twice before. muggled both times. this morning was quiet so we made a quick find and sign. ttftc

Very muggly outside and in the RSL, luckily the considered placement and good hint made for a quick and stealthy find. First time I've seen one of these on wheels, I'd always though they were ship mounted only.

Many thanks.

Searched the obvious spots today, but no luck

Found with taurus1955 and B/dale bandits. This one had us looking for a while until we heard those magic words "Found it". A good hide. TFTC

Found with misschief18 and B/dale Bandits and Bentley TB on our way to the Qld Mega. A great place to visit and an excellent hiding spot.

TNLN

Well we don't normally found these types of caches but today we had our caching eyes on and come up trumps thanks for the hunt. onwards to the mega we go hi ho hi ho ho laaalaaa

Found by Mary & David at 1435. We found "A Nation's Defense" earlier, so now we have the pair. Your grandfather would have been proud of your research. Found this one, with some good luck, in the first place we looked. Our thanks to Blacklegend.

TFTC

Tftc added some more paper

Nice bright colored bisonand in an easy spot log full

New log needed

Good hide spot and signed the log. Thanks Blacklegend

Only logging as a DNF as when I arrived to go inside for dinner, there were too many muggles to give it a good go. When I came out, I just went back to my accommodation.....so maybe next time.

Thanks anyway....

A quick find on a wet morning. TFTC

Hi all. Aware of the needs maintenance, will fix it next time i'm down that way... Cheers, BL.

Needs new log.

Staying at the Finley showgrounds so we went for a walk around and found this cache - quite an easy one thankfully, as we usually avoid guns and tanks! TFTC

Work was taking me to Finley today - a little way out of my normal area, so I was able to grab a few drive-by's on the way through.

Thanks to the descriptive cache page I had the find in hand in a jiffy.

It's been ages since I found a Blacklegend cache - I hope life's treating you well mate.

TFTC!

Day 2 camped at Finley, and we headed out to pick up a few caches in the area.

This was an easy find, as the area was muggle free.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Blacklegend, for us and others to find.

Day sixteen of my holidays, travelling from Hay to Bright, picking some caches along the way to break the journey. Found most, but missed a couple. I generally struggle to find micros on these sorts of machinery, but today it was a nice quick find.

My thanks to Blacklegend for the cache.

Quick find. I love these old weapons but was glad it wasn't a hard find as some others have been. Tftc

Mr. Lost Wanderer loves a good tank cache so we couldn't pass through town without stopping for this one. Luckily there weren't any muggles around and only a couple of passing cars. Thanks for the hide BlackLegend.

Nice easy start today. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad carer Lis Brown on a journey from Shepparton Vic to Geelong Vic then Coolah and Port Stephens in NSW and back to Shepparton before going to Tasmania.

MEGS FIRST FIND

Murray July 2014. A long weekend trip down to the Murray to explore and get some great caching dome. I was able to visit some great spots and get some very interesting caches on this trip. Thanks.

After circling the gun a few times trying to work out where the obvious spot might be, I set to finding the cache. After about 15 minutes of searching all the obvious spots, or what I thought might be obvious, I was able to do the little excited found it cache dance:-) yeah for me !!! SL TFTC

I said to MrG "where's an obvious spot". He said "right there". Looking from a female point of view, there's no obvious spots on something like this, but he was right. And so were you it seems. TFTC Blacklegend.

# 4338 Found and logged at 2:01:00 PM
One of 5 caches for the day on my way through to Oz Megga at Murrey Bridge
Thanks for the cache Blacklegend
lgoody

Too many muggles.

2877. I always get a little nervous when I see these things, but happy to say today the container was secured within a couple of minutes.
TFTC.

Despite a decent look we failed to find this cache.
We were here at 19:39hrs on 14/10/2013

Thanks anyway Blacklegend

We are getting good at these gun caches, found in under 30 seconds..TFTC

Found with O319. TFTC

Although we spent quite some time searching and searching this cache stayed elusive to us today - perhaps we will have more luck when we return next and try again!
TFTC Blacklegend and we are sorry to say it was not an obvious spot fo us this morning

Found with paddyjak, TFTC

Quick find, kept an eye on a couple of muggles, quick grab, signed and replaced TFTC

Well played

Great hide. Its a tricky one at dinner time. Tftc

Freezing cold day with an amazing amount of passing traffic, but managed to find and sign this hopefully unobserved. TFTC Blacklegend

Searched high and low but this one wasn't for us today.

Found on our way north from Melbourne in the Riverina. TFTCaches all COs involved for making our trip so much more challenging.

We'd all felt around in the place where the cache was eventually found but missed it several times. Luckily I found it eventually.

# 3103. Robmc, chewinprickles and I were heading over the border for some caching today. It was a somewhat frustrating day with a few DNF's along the way.

Still in Finley but about to start heading for Tocumwal very shortly. We do not like these sneaky hides on big bits of machinery and we couldn't believe it when chewin emerged with the bison after we had all felt several times in the same spot. TFTC

Bettyboo, Chewinprickles and I slipped over the border for a few quick caches today.
Found in the first place we looked! Unfortunately, we had all looked there twice before Chewin came up with the goods!
Thanks, Robmc.

Found on way to Adelaide for work/holiday. Definitely still there. An interesting piece of history & a popular spot nearby. TFTC

Still there, TFTC

Searched with two other geo buddies, no luck today at this one

I searched and searched, but didn't find it. Oh well, it was the perfect place to leave a Bookcrossing book, "Gallipli".

Thanks

Found in second spot we looked.

Cache and log in good condition.

TFTH

Another quick find. Left dad to sign the log while mum and i posed for photos

35th one on the second day of our road trip to Geelong

goe-husband had it in seconds
but we have found a couple of others in the exact same place

love these guns
my Grandad was a Gunner

2nd for the day while travelling over for Christmas TFTC.

Took longer than than it should have here but I got it after poking around in every possible place, at least 3 times.
TFTC

A lot of Muggles around at lunch time but we were able to retrieve the
cache ok.
SL TFTC Blacklegend

An amazing example of these wonderful old guns.

Found at 3:31 PM GAFF3. When I put my hand in for the first time, I though that I had touched something slimy, so I pulled out quick. It was not after checking that spot for the 3rd time that "the slimy thing" rolled out a bit and we could see what it was
This is a good example of this type of gun.
Thanks Blacklegend

heading home from Cobar, next time we will stop at the rsl for lunch I think. Thanks.

First find of the day with Chaplain Mike. SL TFTC!

Found with Smart Sassy Siren, find number 1 for the day on way home from Finley to Melbourne (114)

Quick easy find on our caching tour around Finley. Few muggles around.
