Gave it another go today - same result. Hasn't been found since 7/11/2014 and has been racking up DNFs ever since. Time to bring in the reviewers - sorry guys.

As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Three adults had good look. Did not find it.

couldnt find this one in the area described by the hint.

We had a good look around but did not find today. Maybe the CO can check on this one.

3 sets of eyes looking for this one tonight after various other DNFs. We had no luck and we found the hint location no problems. Based on the D/T rating and cache size - this cache must have gone sorry. I think my peers need a little slap for not logging their DNFs also - cheers anyway nova. We're off to the next cache.

Its quite possibly gone with that many DNF's.

Thought this would be an easy find but no luck. Has it been muggled?

Hard find

Couldn't find anywhere

Seems to bo longer be there

Didn't seem to se it anywhere

Did not find, seems to not be there any more

I didn't like my chances here with all the dnf's but gave it a go anyway with no luck.

Expected a quick find but three of us couldn't find it. Should have checked the comments first. Hopefully it will be back soon.

Muggled I think

Dnf

Same as everyone else couldnt find it

Found the obvious place but nit the cache

Good to Go

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Couldn't find this one today

Could not find, two of us looking.

Could not find despite 3 of us looking.

Searched for this caching with alpenmilch80 on day #3 of a 3 day road trip to the Taranaki.

No luck on this one, we cut our losses and moved on.

What a great idea to get the kids at the school involved.

Early evening was a good time for this one.

Replaced Log and moved slightly

This cache may need Maintainence. Could you please check today's log by me. Cheers.

Found it, or think I did. Yellow bush is dying. Oversized cache was exposed. No log, but a paper saying $20 in gutter in kitchen area and deliver to this box! I logged my name on piece of paper. Hope this doesn't mean I owe $20.

A nice quick find for the ego kids. TFTC.

No school today but a few cars in the car park, quickly spotted however.

Easiest cache to find so far

Another nice day down south

Nice big cache, easy find on a Saturday afternoon.

4th time lucky, it was here this time, tftc

Quick find. Awesome to see geocaching getting into schools. Great stuff!!!

Good quick park and find. TFTC.

Dnf

Popped out today and replaced. everything ready to go again

Wow, searched the area on 3 separate occassions, could not find! It's either extremely well hidden or missing. Was really hoping to find it the third time round!

Looked like it would be easy to find..but so many mugged we couldn't have a proper Look!

Lots of muggles so hard to have a good luck but pretty sure it's not there.

Searched Saturday afternoon but couldn't spot it

nice find during the holidays no muggles

Very easy find today. The shrubbery appears to have very recently been trimmed and the cache can be seen from the path if you have keen geo trained eyes. I was tempted to move the container to try and conceal it better but decided to return it as I found it. TFTC.

Easily found! Stopped on the way back from town and introduced the in-laws to GeoCacheing with this one. TFTC

No problems finding this one, although much easier during the school holidays - on a sunday!

A nice easy one for the littlest geokid to push her finds up, tftc

After spending Christmas with family in Wellington, we made our way slowly North again, having explored New Plymouth we were now making the final stretch to Auckland, all the while collecting a few caches along the way. Great to see a Mega container in use, unfortunately it was already a little wet inside. TFTC

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Popped out and replaced the other day. Hopefully with the school holidays it will stick around longer

please check

2nd time here, this time with someone who has done this cache, neither of us could find it

We had a good look trying to find this one but we are pretty sure it is not there.Thanks all the same.

Searched for awhile but cache nowhere to be seen

Just dropping 'myself' off at this cache to give a starting point.

Tuesday morning 10.15, apart from the police car parked next to me, all is quiet, however, no cache??

Found it thanks.

Nice sized cache. Good to see other schools being introduced to geocaching. Our village has a College geocaching team where for 3 days we cruised the Waitomo area seeking geocaches, set up 1 cache and launched 2 TB's.

Nice easy lunch time find. Thanks!

Checked today and all is well

Had a pretty good look but no joy today.

DNF

After the DNF and having been a while since the cache was found, I thought it wouldn't hurt to pop in and see.

Was a little disappointed to find the cache was missing. Ducked home and grabbed another cache. Unfortunately its not as big as the original but still big enough for TB

Searched and searched on Christmas Night with grandchildren but we could not locate the cache no matter how hard we tried and we were loathe to give up so I'm thinkiing perhaps this one has been moved.

TFTC

What a great cache idea. Hope the kids are learning a lot and having fun with it! Dropped some TBs I recently brought back from Perth. TFTC!!!

Nice easy find on a beautiful sunny Hamilton day. Have taken 3 TB's and a Geocoin. There were not 8 TB's as stated. Very wheelchair friendly area - watch out for muggles though. TFTC.

Checked today and everything is ok. Also dripped of TB

# 398 Decided to do some evening caching and picked this area. TFTC

Good bold hide and large container. SL TFTC

Nice quick find...its exactly where it should be. tftc

Re did the camo on the cache and placed back in its shop. Suggest not hiding any TB for a week incase the cache gets Muggled. I will keep a close eye on it.

GZ has become to well known amongst the students and they are starting to muggle it. Have removed and will update camo and maybe even location. Will activate ASAP

How big is regular? Easy find. Tftc

picked up tb and dropped tb

WHAT A TERRIFIC BIG CACHE---GREAT TO SEE. WAS ABLE TO DROP 2 tb's.

TFTC!

Out for a mission with Z-masterNZ. #2 for the night.
TFTC

Largest cache we have found in Hamilton so far. Mr 7 soon had cache in hand. Left TB.

Figured a Sunday was a good day to find this cache and we were right, there was no one about. Love the idea behind this cache, kids need more problem solving and this is a great way to get them interested. TFTC

Wouldn't it be great if more schools got on board like this one, Go Melville Intermediate! t4tc

Dropped TB

dropped TB

On the way to Auckland to spend a few days before school starts. Night caching along the way.

Have been wanting to do this since I heard about it. An easy cache that the kids enjoyed finding. Left a pack of cards. TFTC.

Nice and quiet on this beautiful Saturday morning - did not expect to find a cache this size here TFTC

What a whopping great big cache!

Had whizzed past here before at the completely wrong time so were pleased to have clear grab today! TFTC!

Quick find good size container

Good timing as all Intermediate muggles in class!
Grand cache found quite easily, thank you!
Collected TB that has not been logged as being here as yet .... but will move it onwards!
TFTC!

A decent sized container at last!
+ a large marble and TB Take me to Perth.
