As there's been no cache to find for months, 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.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 14 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Had a good look but no luck as with the last few cachers.

Did not find might have gone walk abouts from muggles

Read hint followed this found rock under aggies no cache must have been muggled dnf

[email protected]

May hav been muggled

Had a good search where the hint pointed us, and couldn't find the container either. Possibly gone.

Coulden't find that one on our visit

Daughter super stoked!

A quick find thanks to a good clear hint. TFTC

Back again to log my trackable

The facebook call went out from Philip.Perry for another night time mission, Soon we had nailed down that we would hit Hamilton and TNXPro put up his hand to join again too. Awesome trip with 20 finds a couple of DNFS a Wherigo cache, Lettebox and even a couple of puzzles. Got back to Tauranga at 2am and was another awesome trip looking forward to the next one still have lots in Hamilton to do

Nice quick find here with a good hint and now off home, Enjoyed my night in Hamilton and still lots more to tick of over here so we will be back

On another improptu night mission with Kiwimikebop and Philip.Perry. Why Thursday night I will never know but I agreed anyway and we were off from Tauranga about 6pm. I had set a time limit of home by 1am, as I had a big day following at work. We headed over to Hamilton as a team, but with Philip doing the driving, the navigating the reading the descriptions and eating pizza (all at the same time) I could relax We hardly made a dent in the caches in Hamilton, but we certainly had fun and found a few good ones. Home by 2am - damn, work in a few hours.

A quick find. Lucky these plants arent aggies, as I am not a fan of them. This was our last one in Hamilton for this roadtrip. Time to hit the road. TFTC

Managed to gather a couple of guys from the BOP Geocaching Facebook page to commence a small assault on the Waikato. So together with KiwimikeBOP and TNXpro we left Tauranga around 7pm, head lamps in hand




This was our 21st stop. Cache found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a good hint.




Cheers novalightning

Quick find before people arrived for service. Interesting read. The bag was wet but cache dry. TFTC

Hey

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found it

Found it

Found it!

Was on other side to where we were looking, was alil wet bt not much

Easy find but rather wet

Nice easy find, got my son to find this one. He loved it. Tftf.

I've driven past this one a fair bit in the last 4 weeks when coming and going from the hospital. Today was the day I could stop and make a grab. Cache in good condition. Signed log, took nothing.
TFTC.

Found earlier this year. TFTC

#6630. Good day to explore a bit of Melville on Queen’s Birthday public holiday. GZ was all quiet when we visited. Found after a short search. The cache was in excellent condition. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.

A busy day for this cacher today. On my list of things to do;
Visit Smash Palace (Horpito) and try and get two wheels for my caravan. Find some caches with unique (unfound by me) minutes of Southern degrees; S37 00, S38 25 etc (for a Manawatu Challenge cache requiring 400 of the blighters), find a few solved puzzles placed by COs whose user names begin with C, Q or Z and finally (a late addition on the spur of the moment) find the second oldest cache in N Z before it gets moved/archived. Mostly managed to achieve some or all of that and headed North for a few days in Auckland with work.
Such a large container for such a busy place, hidden well though
Replaced as found and onwards I go

Out looking for caches today and found this one easily enough.

Out walking the dog with Raewyn. Thought we'd make a quick detour to see if we could make a night find. No problem, coordinates good and clue pretty much so put on (No rock as far as I could see in the dark)
Contents all good. Took nothing as I had nothing to replace.

Collected Alfredo the shark - our track able! We will take him to see his cousins in whangarei this weekend!

TFTC. with the help of Skittle93

TFTC Found with Ewilbur92

In town for work...and parked up in the centre of a few caches for my evening walk. I learnt something new today and managed to bed to my cache total at the same time. Tftc

TFTC

Lots of pretties!! Nice cache thanks

On our way from Waitomo Caves to Auckland we stopped here to drop off a trackable that wanted to go to Hamilton. This cache had enough space and was easy to find along the route.

Very quick find!

.

Checked and was all OK

Too busy

On a whim I went searching and found it! Such fun!

quick find with the help of the clue, TFTC

Good clue thanks

Quick find but no rock so a bit exposed. Hid it as well as possible

Yay. Got it. Thank you!

A day starting with picking up 52 close to Hamilton and then meandering down to National Park Village via Waitomo. Really enjoying this NI sojourn and managing to find a few caches too. Thanks.

Yay we got it this time! It's grown since last time. TFTC

Found caching with alpenmilch80 on day #3 of a 3 day road trip to the Taranaki.

Another quick find as we neared the city centre.

Thanks!

My second day on a cache run to Taranaki together with Slieschke. Today the goal was to explore the Forgotten World Highway and to make our way back to Auckland. We decided to take a longer break in Hamilton to help celebrating its 150th birthday with fireworks and a Time Warp. Found save in its hidding place. TFTC

We found this today, our favourite one out of 7

YaY my first cache!!!! TFTC

I trouble finding this as it had been opened and all the bits and pieces were tossed round a different part of the aggies. I gathered them all up (I hope) while trying not to look suspicious and tucked it back in but the lid didn't want to seal tightly. Muggles everywhere.

Yay !!! Found this while in Hamilton for couple of days ....

A fun one to find.

Waiting on pizza so this one had to be found.

9.45pm ... Don't let anyone convince you that this is an addiction. It is just DEDICATION!

Almost forgot to log this cache. Found it after parking at the shops nearby and finding Dracula's Drop and Up up and Away caches. This one wasn't too far off so walked past my car to here. Took a bit of searching about bit it was good to find a good sized cache too. TFTC, Biggles.

Very cool .

Wasn't quite sure to expect here but a quick straight forward find as it turned out.
TFTC

Yay quick find had to wait for muggles to move

Nice easy one on the way past

Not too hard to find but luckily i had the kids with me to get it out.

Girls love it!

Easy to find GZ but when you second guess the hint makes finding abit longer.
T4tc

Thanks for the cache and info - I think the older we get the more we realise that this can affect us all. I remembered to read hint, locate my left or right and trust the CO - and yes look a bit harder - and yes - there was the cache a bit further to reach but definitely with the hint item TFTC

Been here once before and coouldnt find it. Friends said they had been there and so alot wiser and think the cache had been replaced. Thanks for the cache

Tftc

Good to find this one after a previous DNF. Certainly not the easiest cache to reach unless you are of a similar physique to Robert Wadlow (see the Guinness Book of World Records)!! TFTC

Started in the wrong spot but soon on track. TFTC.

Tftc. Nice easy find...not too many muggles around today. Handy having junior scoobydoo....perfect excuse to stop and rest on the steps! Although, I do wonder how this cache tied in with the theme? Perhaps, as previous log mentions, something might be missing?? Cache just contained log and some dreamworks cards?

Tftc nice park n grab

Lid was off and there wasn't much inside apart from the log which was still dry and countdown cards so I dunno if stuff had fallen out or it just wasn't in there to begin with

Easy find dropped off TB

#100 for me. Great cache, loved the size of the container. My nana had one of these bags. Left TB. TFTC

A nice one ! Thanks. My first day geocaching.

Muggle alert - HIGH.

this cache gave me a headache, the premise on which this item is located is frequented by muggles young and old, 24/7. may be due to the fact that the local bus top is situated a few metres away. i thought i was caught, but i did the old, "dropped my phone around here somewhere" turns out these muggles were covert cachers. loving it.

I bit tricky my 5 year old nephew really liked it

not so much traffic today so no problem. TFTC

I parked down the road and strolled casually over to the cache. It was a quick grab and sign between traffic bursts and I was on my way again. Thanks for the information and the cache

had trouble spotting the little bugger, got it eventually though, TFTC

Just because there are DNFs doesn't mean a cache has been muggled. This cache had experienced 'cache creep'. That is where a geocacher find a cache and does not rehide it correctly. The cache was approximately 2m from where I hid it. It is now back where it should be but was never muggled!!

Saw the DNFs and as I was up at the hospital on Monday evening I swung by on my way home. Container there. Didnot retrieve but assume all in order. I struggled with co-ordinates originally but widened my search.

Forgot to look at the logs before checking this cache, but this DNF should let people know that this cache has been muggled.

Tried to go for a quick hunt with my partner. Unfortunately we didn't find it. From what we've read it's quite an easy find, so maybe someone moved/took it?

Have to admit - this one eluded me today. Will be back again

256 Sunday Muggles but enough time to find sign and replace between.

10.35am. Almost a drive by.
Thank you. David.

Easy find on a beautiful Hamilton DAy. TFTC.

Easy find. Found with big butts in a can and racey tracey 123. TFTC.

Found with big butts in can and keeleythecacher. TFTC.

After cycling over to Melville to do some laps in the pool, I grabbed this caching on the way back. An easy find.

nice drive by find tftc

Don't forget your marbles!

Nice and quick as we headed back to our accommodation for the night. TFTC

Easy find, safe and sound with its new log book. A nice easy drive-by cache. Thanks.

A quick find by the kiddos, tftc

replaced today in the same spot. It is just a trad cache at the moment will see if it sticks around before replacing with the original

ISAG and did not find this

Gave up together with renelm and Difool
