I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.

Hi Metal-art

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards

#1889. I need a cache for my ongoing streak, and having recorded a DNF down by the river, I headed for this oldie at the Petone Football Club. Nice easy park and walk and grab - oh that all caches were this easy. Loved the hint.

Tftc Metal-art.

*Streak Day 49*

no people at all, easy find

True to his word, albeit probably taking longer than he anticipated, the Seagnoid replaced the cache this evening. Part of that reason would be the difficulty of being at GZ without anyone else also being there and wondering why anyone would be so interested in that location!

I came along to provide transport and to log 1 Trad for my day. So all is good to go again with this cache.

Thanks for setting it up.

Nope didn't find it

Feeling out of luck

23-Aug-21

After checkng out of my motel, I had some spare time before I had to head to the ferry for the trip to Picton. I managed to find a few caches along the way. As noted by other loggers the container needs some TLC or a replacement. Luckily the log was intact enough to sign. TFTC, Biggles.

I am supposed to find a size "other" puzzle but all the size other puzzles up in the Belmont hills are missing. I'm talking to the CO about that, but in the meantime I still need a size "other" and a puzzle cache.
So I found a puzzle cache and came here for the "other". Took a lot of hunting! The cache is squashed flat, but I was still able to extract the log. This explains why the bin will not properly latch shut, which also means that the rubbish collector dude may investigate and dispose of the cache,,, hmm. I have a lot of magnets - I'll replace it with a un-crushed version and move it so that the bin latches properly so that the rubbish collector dude will not try to find it. Hopefully tomorrow, assuming no crowds.
 
23-May-21
couldn’t find it unfortunately Smile
 
06-Apr-21
Perfect spot that had us guessing

Really cool spot
 
07-Mar-21
I had never been to this park before even though we have friends who live in Bracken Street. The park was in full swing this afternoon with a number of soccer games on. Senior men's league I think. Once I figured out where the cache would most likely be, I sat down on the grass and prentend to take a stone out of my shoe and as I looked there it was. So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in its spot all ready for the next geo-hunter. Thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. As I stood up I witnessed a great long range attempt on goal... so close! TFTC
 
07-Mar-21
Muggles everywhere

High muggle area, took some stealth manoeuvres

I have a 3 month sabbatical mostly traveling around the planet. My goal is to find and log 1000 caches. New Zealand is my 4th station traveling from south Christchurch to north Auckland, my first visit here, its far away. This is my sabbatical-cache #758, luckily no muggels around.

Found it the second time we came back and had to use car keys to pry it from its spot, super rusty container but thats probably because its been there since 2014 atleast!
 
28-Feb-20
The container looks as though it has been run over at some stage. Unlike the previous finders I found it easy to detach from its hiding spot. Thanks for the placement.

Straightforward find TFTC
 
19-Jan-20
Found. Rusted and broken.

Not a Football family, so good to come to a place that we wouldn't normally. Kids becoming too competitive to each find a cache so it's home time.

Love the way the cache fits in so well with the object it is attached to. A lot of work has gone into looking the way it is.
Only one person at the ground, a man wind bathing not far from GZ. Like sun bathing but in a strong NWer.
TFTC, cheers
