Poor Digger : #4 Mordi Gold series Mentone, Victoria, Australia
By Earthbound Chief on 05-Jan-14. Waypoint GC4WEQR

Retiring this series

Go down the path 12 steps from the top

Ended up being a quick find. It's so small. Replaced in a little hidey hole.

Found it with stewartjay & death303, it was a few more than a few steps down, although TFTC.

At this location for a model shoot I noticed this cache was 20 metres away. A quick duck away and the cache was found and logged.
Thanks Earthbound for the break
Regards

So tiny!!! Introduced two new cachers!!

Very windy so no muggles. Had trouble with extract then not losing log or bike but all good. Thanks

#1211 - 7.25pm
It was such a magnificent day that I couldn't resist bringing Emeylo and The Aqua Minion down to the beach this evening.
It was glorious; the stuff of postcards!
After we'd had our fill of sand, sea and sun, we headed back to the car via a mandatory cache. My coordinates had me scouring the wrong area, but a glance at the clue turned the search into a quick kill.
As I looked down towards the beach to ensure I wasn't being watched, I was momentarily transfixed by an incredible sunset. After taking some photos, I reached into my pocket only to find it empty.
No pen.
It was the first time in over 1200 finds that I was caught without a pen. I guess we all travel light at the beach...
I tried using a burnt stick and then some dirty rocks but all I managed was to faintly scrawl part of the date, "17/1..."
I popped down to the populated track at beach level to see if anyone had a pen I could use. The first hurdle was to get attention as most people here wear ear buds and are immersed in the world of their phone screen. And when I did get someone to listen I got a look I would have expected if I'd asked for a quill and a pot of ink; like what century are you from, man?!
A pen! Ha!
Needless to say, I didn't find a pen...
Lol.

Thanks Earthbound Chief for placing a cache at this fantastic location and for providing permission to log this cache despite my poor and penless predicament.
The Minis and I had a fantastic time here.

Tftc sl smallest one ive ever found wow ))

Looked very hard under plants and got to 1m on GPS but didnt find

Accompanied with Kangas11
Today it's beautiful day
The sea is calm
Got it
Thanks Earthbound Chief

Visited Mordialloc/Beaumaris for the day to do the caching day with crank1. Nice and found. Thanks Earthbound Chief for the Mordi Gold series.

Found it! Cool little cache, and a nice view to write the log. Cheers

Quick find yesterday with the kids. If geocaching is not exiting enough, its good to run the gauntlet and not get a parking ticket to see how you go. All good a win win to us, two cache, no ticket! Unlucking parking inspector!! TFTC Thanks Earthbound Chief

Wow this one had me guessing for some time. No muggles so I could have a good look. Ah then something took my eye. Actually hard to get too, so had to revert to my Geo tool kit. Log signed and back safe again.
Find # 1076

It has been a while since I last took my bike out to do some caching so when I had the opportunity today I jumped at it. The weather was a bit breezy with a chill too.

I spotted the cache and was able to retrieve it without any issue. TFTC.

Zoomed in on it quickly. Then the fun was getting it in my hand to sign. But got it. Tftc

Reasonably quick find - although retrieval proved a little difficult and required a little ingenuity. Anyway soon was able to sign the log and replace. Nice views. TFTC

Easy to find

A nice spot to sit and enjoy the view on a beautiful sunny day. Such a tiny one. TFTC.

After visiting a friend for the dress fitting for number one daughter I found I had a chance to check out some in the area. Parked the car (hoping not to get a ticket). Good timing Friday as there is hardly anyone about. Wonderful to walk along the beach front (I am from the bush). Loved the story about Digger and Aspen. Nice easy find
Thanks for the cache EarthboundChief

We thought we weren't going to spot this one-plus when loaded onto phone we were left with an old hint about umbrellas. Geomum spotted something not quite in place and Geodad was skeptical but we found it. Signed log, thanks!

Found it

Found it! Pen ran out of ink. Tftc.

Being school holidays we threw open the location for an activity over to our kids and a day along the beach, finishing up with some rock pooling at Rickett's Point, was decided upon. This was the second in the Mordi Gold series that we found. Certainly, a tricky one - previous logs, the hint, and a geoboy's small hand helped us find this cache. Happy to sign this. Lucky the wind didn't take it all the way down the coast! Thanks for the cache.

Great find and good little clues!!

On the way to Melbourne KISL and myself made a short break here on the beach. We found the little box fast but need several minutes till got it out from the hidden place...
TFTC, #Aus, Freak_22

Nice one!

After a notification came through that this one was back in play and needing a cache to keep my streak going I thought I might pop down and see whether I could put pen to paper.
Yes, I could but a warning you may lose some skin in the extraction of the container from the hide...

Walking by with the dog today and noticed this cache is missing again so it has been replaced by what I could find in the car. This is the third replacement for this cache in as many months! Apologies to all those who have sought it recently, I think someone is messing with my head. The council have replaced a lot of the signs recently so this could be my problem. So, I’ve moved the cache slightly but the co-ords have been updated using a phone on a cloudy day in the company of an impatient dog so I apologise for that too! I will make the clue quite specific.

Well there had to be one DNF to stop my roll and this was it.

I searched the various trees to one side of the path, consulted my GPS after coming up with nothing and then it was over to the other side of the path for a replication of the result.
Given the number of DNFs over what is now a four month period by a variety of finders who have a few finds under their belt and the D/T rating is fairly easy perhaps it is time that the CO confirmed the status of this cache?
I'm going to put a needs maintenance note on this one, if nothing else to prevent more destruction of the surrounding vegetation at GZ....

It's been four months since the last find, a number of DNFs have been logged by a number of finders on different days and the D/T rating reflects what ought to be a fairly easy find.
I think the CO ought to pop down and confirm the cache status. If nothing else it'll stop frustrated cachers from further destroying the vegetation at GZ rendering GZ incapable of hiding anything but an ant.
I don't like putting a needs maintenance note on any cache but I think it's warranted in this case....

Couldn't find it

Searched high and low even PAF but no cache

Another DNF today. Nooooooooooooooooooo
We even had help from jascat in the search and with a PAF. But after a good 20 minutes we came up empty handed.

Noóoooo

That was tricky

Done

Man, that took a lot longer than it should have. Great find and lovely views. TFTC

Found it pretty easily! The cache is no longer waterproof (the lid is broken off) and hence the log is wet and full.

My son found this one. Log book a bit wet.

Nice hide. TFTC MMMF

I don't know why I have not found this cache before today. But found I did. It should have been an easier find than it was but my GPS was taking me to the other side of the path. It was a pleasant evening and just sitting on the steps enjoying the breeze and coolness of the evening was lovely. The log seemed to be full and needs replacing. I did find a place to sign though. The lid of the container was also broken off and should be replaced. TFTC

Lovely view

Nice easy find tftc

Tftc quick and easy

Found. So much easier than the previous

First find of the day in our quest to reach 230 caches for Kat's 30th bday. Signed the log, nice spot. Clydekitty.

Thanks for the cache

Muttley! and I were in the area with some time to kill. This cache was a quick fimd after a short work from a nearby DNF. Thanks Earthbound Chief for the cache.

Nice and easy cache. Thank you for nice cache.

It was a nice day to be out and about with my boys, to enjoy the nice weather during a bit of a cache run today. We all had a great time visiting some cool locations and some parks, where the boys would have a play before heading off to the next location.
After a previous DNF I was happy to lay my hands on this cache in the series. Thanks for the hide.

Quick find using the hint. Not so much luck at the nearby #4. Have 2 of the 5 now. Thanks for the series.

Liked the hint!

Making my way to the Melbourne Mega. Collecting a few caches along the way.
A nice quick find here. Thanks for adding to the enjoying of this trip.

Log book full.

TFTC

Found on a midweek drive to the southern beaches. TFTC

TFTC!!

Found with Fuzzej

A quick grab on a walk along the beach with Ryanofoz. Not too hard to find. TFTC

Quick search and cache found TFTC off to the final one!!

For some reason, GPS was dragging me in the direction of pretty much anything that wasn't the cache, so I have to mostly credit the hint for getting me there. Thanks Earthbound Chief!

#170

One more to go to finish the series! Tftc!

Exceptional part of the country, lovely bay views, nice easy find to start the day.. thanks..!!

#895 With Geo-daughter at dancing and geo-son needing driving hours, it meant there was just enough time between drop off and pickup to take care of this cache. Fairly quick find although phone had me facing the wrong direction. The sea was very calm. Still some hard currency contained TNLNSL. TFTC Earthbound Chief.

Again great area, can't believe this one isn't muggled, thanks for this cache. Sensational beach and a great break from work !!
6X THUMBS UP !!
Tftc

Almost sprung by muggles! The cache is 10 cents rich - I would have contributed to the Poor Digger too but only had the plastic variety in my possession. TFTC EBC and EB (nano)

Out on our first night time cache run. This was our first cache on what would be an epic night ending at 3am. Geowife found this one straight away. SL tftc

Found with the Geo Kids: MooseGirl7 and SonOfTheSimes

Thnx

Awesome, good colour!

Had just found a nearby cache and decided to walk a bit further on to get the next one, the last of the day. Thanks for the hide - caching is a good excuse to get out and enjoy the winter sunshine.

Out once again with the misses while getting a treasure off eBay tftc.

tftf I love this part of the world and so close to home a geo dog always loves a walk here too

Nice apot. Tftc

I found this cache today at 1:25pm as number 10 of 13 on our Bayside Bash in company of Cold Freeze. More gold and Cold Freeze struck it rich here. Thanks from D B-A.

Found it. Nice view! Geocaching us awesome

Find #1748. Found @ 21:40 with a muggle friend.

We were having dinner nearby and I was talking about caching and my Multi-March challenge. We tried to find a multi nearby but failed at the first waypoint. As a consolation, we found a couple of trads instead. This was the first.

A nice quick find in the obvious spot.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache Earthbound Chief.

Found while out cruising and caching TFTC our youngest found this one

Found after a quick run from school. Quite easy even though I didn't have my phone or a GPS. I am hoping to do some more in the series soon. TFTC Earthbound Chief!

#300 tftc

Nature Dragon and I decided to do a little walking along the foreshore here. It was a great day but a bit too hot if standing in the sun for too long. Found this golden cache along the way. TFTC.

Quick find on the way home from school. Great view! TFTC

My kayaking plans were canceled. So a walk along the coastal tracks was in order. And a few more caches along the way. Cheers for the hides.

We parked nearby and watched the sun set over the bay. There was a swimmer with a dog in the water but it was a bit cold and windy for me to join them. We wondered if the dog was named Aspen.
I went StopThief! but it was only a muggle, so I came here looking for Aspen instead.
Fossicked around for a few seconds and soon had enough treasure to put a smile on my face.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed the log.
Thanks for the cache and the series EB Nano.

Easy find

Perfect day to walk the dog here. Very few muggles about. TFTC.

Quick find whilst taking the geo dog for a walk! Logged it before the geo wife and kids could find it! Lol
TFTC
Cheers

Found on a morning run. Cache in good condition, thanks.

Quick find - neat story too. TFTC

TFTC

Found it with some mates, good clue

Sun is coming out

Did with my dad 2nd find

Did some caching with my son (Gherkin King) this afternoon. He really did well And found all 3 that we found.

Ethan found this one after I spotted the hint.

Thanks for the cache.

Great clue!

Out today with Sinornithosaurus doing some caching and riding and completing some caches in Parkdale and Mordialloc!! The weather was beautiful for a day of caching and we collected some great caches... We grabbed some Multis, Puzzles and of course some Traditionals!! Another cache in this series completed!! TFTC

I found it
