As there has been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it has been a number of months since the last owner note I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 28 days), just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Hey Inspicio,
Sorry everyone I've been away studying at Uni, I'm home for holidays and will get a chance to fix the cache within the week, ill keep everyone posted, haha just have to grab a new pack of mints so ill have the tin ready
Sorry that it has taken so long but as I said I havent been home.

As I suspected after re-checking it (again) it has been moved/ removed,
as this is a very busy location especially over summer I may not replace the eclipse mint container (cache) untill some of the tourists leave,
im assuming, as it was a newish looking container, that it ended up in a bin by a muggle...
Sorry Guys, D11, will replace as soon as it is reasonably safe to do so...

Been watching this one for a while,waiting for the right chance,now fairly optimistic after owner confirming it is there,but after a good search and phone a friend who found it we still came up or out empty handed.TFTC.darkath11

still here, due t public location have been keeping an eye on it, will go down tomorro to double check

We used the other co-ords in the logs. I suspect the original co-ords are done with the wrong datum - check you GPSr. Most have about 40-50 different datum and that will easily make the difference of about 100 meters.
We found the spot described, but no cache could we locate.
Thanks, Robmc.

I took my 7yo geo-nephew on his first geohunt and it turned out to be an epic fail. First the coordinates are way(!) off. They took us down a while different street, which is the 210m away from the cache that others mentioned.

So we tried the updated coords mentioned in the logs. We found the cache location but there was no cache there. Both of us crawled all the way to the end of the "house" but there was nothing but a lot of leaves and prickles.

I think that next time I'll take him to a cache I've already located because he was so upset and disappointed.

Did some homework on this one before we left. Had a look at the co-ords posted by the owner and loaded them into google earth. Then I realised where we would be searching.

Got to GZ and found the GC co-ords were out by 203m. I took a new reading at GZ and this is what I came up with

s29 06.717 E153 26.025

Hope these help

Found the cache and it looks like its been found by a muggle when you read the log. At least they put it back.

Thanks

Quick find once we worked out where to look. We read the other logs and clue to work this one out. I took co-ords today and got the same as Griffo. The log is almost full already. Im not sure how long this one will last though. Nice spot.
thanks for bringing us here.

Found, but co-ordinates are definitely out. The clue was a big help. TFTC

Thank goodness we were out with fellow geocachers today. Shockers read more clues than I did, so they got there first. I spent way too much time in the swamp. Don't go there! Thanks for a great new cache for the smaller people.

Grrr. Coordinates led us on a wild goose chase. Glad Shockers found cache by hunting around surf club following one of the comments. We were roughly 150 m off. Went back for another more successful look with their guidance but suggest others ignore coordinates until they are updated.

I set the coords when I put the cache down so on my devices it is correct. On one of my friends devices it put it 100yards further south so it devends on your gps device as to where you are placed, but it is at the surf club not actually in the scrub.

trying to get better coords, will officially update when i can but -29.111978,153.433784 according to google maps is where it is... will re-do coords with gps next time im down there.
-D11

Had no luck here, found that the water was to deep and very swampy.
We checked the coords twice which put us 50M into the scrub.
Cheers.

Found it with Siera King, good location

First to find with KnyazZhnets! Pretty easy, Definitely have to be small. Cheers
