its time

Great find. TYFC. Left nail

Nice hide.

This was the last cache attempted by Kiwideb and myself. Found by Kiwideb in a place I think I checked (but not well enough). Thanks for the cache.

We found this one

took the long way around to get there

tftc

Found in a hole that we had already looked in but not deep enough I usually don't like putting my hands in holes hope they don't fix this or cache may be inaccessible tftc on to the next one

A surprising hide location. I'm sure I'm not supposed to be starting with the repair kit, but took my piece of string and looking forward to finding the rest

First geocache find!
Found it after about 10 minutes.
Thanks.

Lovely renovated hall at Garfield. Have string, will find jewels, but it may take a while. TFTC.

We found this cache today at 4:35pm as the 15th of 18 on our 4x4-2 Bunyip Tour in company of Pprass. Almost 8 years since we last cached in Garfield. We took the obsure route to this one but being with Pprass, that is par for the course. Thanks from D & HA B-A.

Found at 4:37 PM GAFF5 in the company Rabbitto.
Found in the first spot that Dean looked in - happens sometimes! We saw the kit, but didn't take anything as we won't be finishing the series.
Thanks Bounty Trackers.

Another Monday night and another Demolition Crew cache run with the usual suspects being Trailrunning, Rebel Acts and Quasar3671. As always another great night, with lots of laughs and some great caches found as always. A warm and humid night was had by all. My thanks to all the CO's for their efforts in placing the caches we found. The run took us to the eastern areas of Melbourne, and a bit further than that. We were also lucky to find 3 FTF's for the night, all multi's, which was sensational.

Found pretty quick by TR. TFTC.

The Demolition Crew meet once again to cache in Melbourne tonight. We mainly concentrated in the Cranbourne area of Melbourne and i picked up 33 caches for the night with 3 FTF's. The boys were in fine form, and with the weather a little hotter in the afternoon we were happy it dropped lower during the late evening early morning. There were three places to look and I found it in the last one. Thanks.

Almost half way. We now have to find the last few of Aunt Pearls jewels to finish this wonderful series. TFTC

Geo Kiddy's can't get out of the car quick enough to find cache. TFTC

Found while out with Pau Pau & Co. TFTC

Found it. This was a difficult one to retrieve as it was in a high muggle zone but with a bit of stealth it was ours. SL TFTC.

Nearly missed this one as it had a little more cover than I guess it was given originally. TNLNSL and replaced the kit exactly as it was - including litter! Thanks.

In our travels on this series we have only retrieved 1 jewel and that was over 12 months ago and remained in the other geo-wagon so we decided to leave the repair kit as it was.
Our search of the likely places was not going very well until Bugbear uncovered the hidden cache where he had first looked.
Thanks for a great series.

Parked at the gate and walked the rest of the way in to GZ. What a great little group of facilities out here. The pool looked pretty enticing today with the sun beating down on us!! Found the repair kit and thought the scissors were so clever. Hadn't seen them before and wondered where we could get some. Went back up the road for coffee and found a bric'a'brac store open, and couldn't believe we found them selling a pair of these! Of course we bought them TFTC

TFTC.
HAVING A GREAT DAY FINDING THE SERIES

Took a minute for the GPS to settle. Picked up the necessary equipment. TFTC.

A quick pickup while on our way to Warragul.

So I am in the area because a friend of mine had a dream that there was buried treasure on her property in Garfield. As the owner of a metal detector I was called upon to find such treasure. Upon completing the scour of the land in question geo-son and I turned our attention to caching! This was within 200m of where we were so off we went. Found with geo-son, geo-son's best mate and geo-son's best mate sister. Was the most valuable thing we found all day!

After a quick discover in Bunyip still had 15 minutes up my sleeve as I went into Garfield so picked this up as well. Quick discovery grabbed some thread and was back on the road. TFTC

Found it & took the necessary to make the repairs.TFTC

Still raining picked up some thread. Not to hard to find. TFTC.

Found with dad. Back dating my logs now I have an account.

quick find on the way home great series

Nice easy find TFTC

Garfield wouldn't approve walking over the slushy grass..
We had fun with the gps, taking us the long way round! We're from outa town by a long way so not playing your game, just passing through the town as I am a Garfield fan. Thanks

Trying to catch up finds from months ago, apologies for the belated log.

Out on a caching outing with Coley_Babee.
Lucky for us, we were well hidden from view as we hunted for this cache as there was quite some activity nearby. Of course we'd already checked this spot earlier, but not properly enough.

Thanks Bounty Trackers for this cache.

I didn't attempt this one the last time I was in this area.. so this time it was a must do.

There was activity on the oval, but thankfully they paid no attention to us as we hunted for the cache.

Found it after a few minutes looking in all the wrong places.

Find # 1841

I was out once again with my caching partner in crime, sedgwickDave and again headed for Gembrook. Our main aim today was to finish Black Snake Valley High Puzzle cache, but also to find a few before hand and a few after before the promised rain arrived.

I was trying to find some more in this series, but only managed to find this one today before the heavens opened up and it was time to head home.

Thanks to Bounty Trackers for the cache.

Finding this cache was fairly easy but retrieving it proved more difficult. Managed in the end and off to the next. TFTC. Kems

A quick find after travelling from Melb for the day for a surveying job in Bunyip. A deserted GZ made for an easy find. Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache. Regards, 38degsouth.

Getting closer to finding all of Aunt Pearl's missing jewels, I stopped off at a deserted GZ today. Initially missed it in the first spot I tried, but found it on the next sweep. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC!

Found by Bob at 1145

Number three - and another nice, quick find after my TomTom directed me to the back entrance to the Hall. The nearby swimming pool was deserted today - I guess everyone's had enough water over the last few days!

TNLN

Thanks once more Bounty Trackers

Thanks again! Yay

Here is me with jewels I want to keep them

Found @1436 #1141
Another Aunt Pearl's cache now completed the 2nd found so far. Wasn't sure if I would be able to do this one without drawing attention to me, but found there was plently of cover at GZ from the swimming pool near by. It was rather hot today and the sound of splashing water was quite temping. TFTC Bounty Trackers

Yawn, getting tired but still have some energy to get a few more; Found by TeamMorno (Hazey1 + Saulman1010) TFTC.

Team Morno (Mornington), Consisting today of Hazey1 and myself out and about on a kid free weekend, today a trip to Yarragon's progressive garage sale and grab a few caches on the way. Heading back West now on our way home, nighttime caching!
NGrabbed what we needed and we were quickly off into the dark.
TFTC

7th find of the day, and 3243rd total find at 12:08

We (sort of) retraced Aunties journey but unfortunately some of her baubles must have been found by other seekers.

The repair kit came in really handy, but for those of us that need optical enhancements, the thread is really difficult to manipulte.


Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Bounty Trackers for the cache

Found by The Empire @ 4:50pm
Find number 14 of 16 in the cold, windy 'summer' weather. Took a little while to work out the style of this one, thanks for the cache to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS. I cut myself some bead string and now have a dodgy necklace forming in the console of my car!
- M

We quickly found the repair kit, and cut ourselves a length of string. We had only gathered two of the gems so far, so will post a completed picture once we have the all. TFTC and bringing us to Garfield, where we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the bakery. T: string L: pathtag

Checked all ok

Enjoy this series get to go around enjoy the country side. S4pphire found this one after going back to the car to get a glove just in case of spiders [:-)]

GPS has me walking around in circles before I just searched a likely spot. Found it with the help of a geo-glove. (I don't mind spiders as long as I can see them).
Took a length of thread and replaced cache on a muggle free day.

01-01 3rd find of the day at 13:43 and 1360th find in total.
Difficult to find till we stumbled upon the meaning of the hint.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks Bounty Trackers for the caching fun!

{Sent from a mobile mind, not a mobile device.}*** +

woo hoo, only two more jewels and we can restring them.

Busy with bowlers today but still not to hard to retrieve.

Good hide and great clue!

A clever idea and a lot of fun. We won't get this series finished this time, so won't take the jewels or thread, but enjoying anyway

I had today mostly to myself after getting duties done early, I had planned it this way as my car was in for a warranty repair.. I put a few km on the loan car and had a ball too.. This was the first of quite a few on a very round about trip from Boronia back to Ferntree Gully via everywhere else I could think of.. Thanks for the cache.. find #1879

Managed to walk the long way round but once I got to GZ I found it in first place I looked. Then a short walk back to the car via a gate I hadn't noticed before! TFTC

Found by Mary & David at 1110. Going well. Now we're working on that necklace. Our thanks once more to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS.

I managed to find a long way into this one but no matter. The cache was in the first place that I looked, the second time that I looked there!

This was to be our 7th Bounty Trackers cache on our "We are not doing any caches this weekend becuase it is our Wedding Anniversary" weekend. Thanks for helping out and we will be back to do some more soon seeing as this road is one of our favourite roads. We were not sure of what to do here seeing as we only had two jewels, but we figured you did not want a photo of them, so we logged the cache and we will send you a photo when we have the rest. Cheers

Found 16:05, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS.

Another quick easy find on a beautiful day

Easy Find - Lots of Muggels

People were busy at the hall.

Found with Kmace after some wandering around.

Found today with Irontoad. Thought we wouldn't find this one but finally found it with a bit of perseverance we found it - when we looked again in the second place we had supposedly looked.

TFTC The Bounty Trackers - I look forward to completing this series.

I was glad this hide was not at the front of the building as the little children playing on the oval might have been frightened by the hangover monster that was haunting my geo buddy lol. Things were on the up, (upchuck that is) and we were off again to the next hide. Thanks TBT for your efforts.

Found TFTC

#674 3rd of 9 on a trip SE of Melb taking advantage of a beautiful day (every day is a good day for caching but some, like today, are just better than others!). Regards to Aunt Pearl - I doubt we'll have time to find all of them for her. Thanks THE BOUNTY TRACKERS.

Now to pit them back to gather again

found with Hearse068 had to be quiet as we could hear muggles inside the building talking. Made a quick find got what we needed SL and moved on . TFTC

Found on a day out with Gonefishen07, we had to be quiet as there was lots of Muggles in this hall and we did not want to explain what we were doing. SL TFTC

Beautiful sunny day for caching.
Found another one missing jewel
TFTC

We are still trying to find a cache a day for as long as we can so we are picking this series off slowly. An early start today had me here before work and the area was deserted . Aunt Pearl sure got around that night, she must have been having a great night.
Unfortunately I did not have my glasses with me and could not read the date properly on the phone and I think I put 26th not the 28th in the log book.
Thanks for another in this series showing us halls we did not know existed.

Headed out for a night cache run along the Princes Hwy to find some of the new caches along the route. Found this one while on the way back home. Fourth of the jewel finds for the night. Found the cache and cut a length of string. Will be able to string them all together soon. TFTC.

Found with GeoHolzy sl tftc

Found with Geo Gemzy sl tft string

Caching day
Found it
TFTC

Once Dad figured out on a way in things became a bit easier. A quick find after that, with all the eyes that were looking...Walenators, Wiley Clan and Earthbound Control! TFTC

This was the third cache of 14 finds on a days, while out caching with my new caching partner Crazy! Nat Girl. We picked up our string and the decided we better head to Waragul as the bird sale we thought was on started at 11. My thanks to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS for the cache.

Three in a row for me, Rebel acts better lift his game hehe.

Found with the Earthbound Team and Wileyclan on a massive caching day. Thanks The Bounty Trackers. TFTH...SL....TNLN

Today we had a bit of an assault on the area going with a team comprising of walenators, wileyclan and Earthbound Chief, which ended up being quite long and fruitful!

After a few false starts as to how to enter the area for this one, we arrived at ground zero to find that it was getting colder out. Wandering around we narrowed our search area to some likely spots and had soon decided that the cache was not in any of them. A closer inspection revealed that we were being affected by hypothermia and we soon had a repair kit for Aunt Pearls' jewels in hand.

Thanks for the cache and the series The Bounty Trackers


Cheers

Line obtained.

God i get nervy retrieving these ever since i picked up that frog.... plenty of string left, log book bag damaged tho.

Found in our mad dash around the local caches with the Walenators and Wiley clan. TFTC

realised our mistake when we got here!! the last one was meant to be a diamond not a repair kit, we only got string and not diamonds at the last one!!!!

Thanks, found with De Ja Vu. As we pulled up we saw Aunt Pearl (an old lady with her dog) and we waited for her leave. Soon after she left, we had cache in hand.
TFTC Took string

Found the missing jewels with GeO_LIGHTLY and hopefully threaded correctly for Aunt Pearl. Will email photo for your approval. Wasn't sure if we should share our photo yet. Thanks Bounty Trackers, we enjoyed this cache series.

Nearly got blown away today, It was very windy. I had to run after the bag and intro sheet when XD1 didnt hang on to them tight enough. Phew.. Not sure why I got the job of running, lol, but I caught them both. Thanks for the cache.

Found on a windy Sunday with Nom234. Interesting series! T4TC

Found while out and about with Slink1 and the Beavers. TFTC SL

Quick find while out the Beavers and Dunko TFTC SL

Found on caching run with
Slink1 & Dunko, SL,TFTC

Found @ 5:37pm, find # 902.
We notice that Aunt Pearl was having trouble locating her jewels so we thought we would give her a hand locating them.
We drove past this one earlier in the day but could not get in as there was a footy game happening, so off we went to find so more jewels.
On the way home we stopped by again and this time we could make our way to GZ with no problems and after a short search we had the repair kit in our hands now we can put Aunt Pearl's jewels back the way they were before the night of a few too many shandies.
Thanks to THE BOUNTY TRACKERS for this cache and series.

*FTF* My eighth FTF for the day. Having been in Sale when this series got published it put me in the perfect spot to chase it. I enjoyed collecting the stones along the way. I had to pass this one up when I drove past first time since there was a car parked near GZ. This time there was no car and it was dark. I did not want to try to find the start of the repair kit string since I am sure I have some at home. I still feel there is some other purpose to all these beeds. TFTC
