Yay very cool seeing our first coin

Nice and easy, dropped off GC.

Easy enough find, but had to have a friendly chat to police, caching confirmed my alibi so could carry on.

The rain lifted and we decided to get out of the house and go for a ride... Ended up in Hamilton. How convenient...

Our iPhone gps swung about a bit and took ages to settle down. In the meantime, we did a circuit of the bush and headed out by the railway. This excursion must have interested an inquisitive gentleman, who followed us out to the tracks. We turned to leave and returned to the car. When the coast was clear, the gps miraculously played ball and we quickly spotted the cache beneath some interesting camouflage. TFTC.

Easy tftc!

12.25pm - Found without to much hassle. SLTFTC

Tftc nice find on a sunny Sunday

TFTC, good size!

Thanks

Great hide. Thanks.

A slightly odd place to be fossicking around, and it took a little time with no description or hint and a well-hidden cache. TFTC.

A quick and easy find after school with the boys and a muggle friend while out delivering fundraising goodies to friends. Love the bark from the trees. Minnie was taken as we have a big Disney fan in our house. She even had a bath when she got home. TFTC

I am begining to think having Friday off is a good caching day - nice and quiet and no muggles! Cache quickly spotted - love these trees - the bark is amazing!! TFTC

Nice hide, glad I didn't do this on a hockey day, lovely and quiet here today

Excellent tree position. Have fun everyone

Got lucky & a quick find, left some trades, TFTC

Well hidden. Went for a walk with Kiwis69

Nice sized cache. The surrounding material was interesting...felt like writing more. TFTC

You would never be short of material if the log was full here. Thanks

Games on today, but we dodged the muggles to get this one. TFTC

It was hard and was very camo

Yay found it. Also found a travel bug tag but no bug.

was a bit tricky due to a game on but dident see to many muggles found a tag off a travel bug in here but the travel bug its self gone

A late night find this was TFTC
took TB

Found it early on a foggy morning. TFTC

Easy find while in town for a hospital visit.out TB
In TB Aotearoa

Sunday afternoon a great time to get some city caches tftc

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

Found it. After a very hot game of hockey

348 I was hoping for a short corner but ending up being a long corner with all the traffic.

While I was searching I was looking at all the tree bark that had fallen around the place and was thinking how weird it was that it is soft like wet cardboard, then I grabbed a random piece of it as I was thinking this and the geocache was right underneath! what are the chances?

I signed the log and it appeared the person who signed it before me was a time traveler, date said 6th may 2014

Really enjoyed finding this one, thanks

There certainly were a lot of Sticks At The Ready today, a full car park and lots of players and spectators enjoying the game, TFTC.

Found it despite no description or hint. Tftc

After a quick win decided there was time to spare before heading home. A nice big cache. Thanks

Had to widen the search then soon found...TFTC

apparently 1.30am isn't ideal to find this, upset over losing my pen I thought cleaning up 'nufrat park' would be ideal to cheer me up.. this wasn't the cache I thought I'd have problems with! will return...

A nice quick find by the biggest geokid, tftc

Thanks for the fun!

Quick find, glad to see these containers released into the wild. Swagged up, took the poppy (clever swag for this week) and left a TB.

With B& H

Nice one thanks

Nice hide

A nice find on my way through the area

Tftc

This was a good hide, loved the location, but unfortunately someone had taken the cache and dumped it into a ditch, so I put it into a tree and covered it up.

Didn't need hints good find

on a quick visit to the Hamilton area, tftc

Handy find for a dot day and cache all good.
TFTC

After the hockey time to get the sticks out.TFTC

Finally,a decent sized cache. Stick with it to find the cache.tftc

Nice little find. I haven't been here since I played for my high school team. Thanks

Enjoying a day out and about in the Waikato sunshine turning boxes into smilies. Nice to see good use made of the MEGA containers TFTC.

Nice quick find. TFTC

Another good find while in the area. SL TFTC

Found after our summer hockey game. GPS wasn't being very friendly until it woke up a few minutes later and showed me the correct GZ. TFTC.

Out and about for a drive and grabbing some caches on the way. Thanks.

Needed to dodge "Mr leaf blower man" to find this one. Worked out Ok and cache found OK. Who's been to the Mega cache then? Nice container! TFTC.

Nice Cache. Easy find

Nice hide, love the paper trees, tftc

Picked up after hockey training.

Found it with my kids. Nice and easy. TFTC, 1x TB dropped off.

Quick find tonight with geo-hound after a walk around the lake. Will save the other one for another day due to muggle parked very close. TFTC. Great to know there's a larger one here if I end up with a large TB.

Had to walk to work this morning, so made a short detour to find this well hidden cache. Thanks very much nufrat

Was pleased to see a few new caches popping up as it must mean that its "Cache breading season" as the weather makes it more conducive to a spot of caching.
Great Coords that were spot on.
While I was there it looked like the "Pigeon Pluckers Club' was in full swing

TFTC

An easy find, with spot on co-ords

Saw this new cache on the radar, so wandered over for a find. The good waypoint made it pretty easy.

Noted a Lego character TB, so grabbed as our leggo-mad grandson will enjoy meeting it..

Quick find in the dark. TFTC

No trouble finding this one co-ords very accurate. TFTC

Published

Published while I was in town running an errand. A dilemma. Complete the task which will take 10 min or race for the cache. Took option 1 and ended up with a 2TF. Such is life
There was a very suspicious scooter and Legacy car parked up next to GZ but no sign of the occupants?
Many thanks

A very creditable 3rd to find at 1955. Already had a ftf today so i was happy.
Less than a km from home too.
I was on another FTF hunt at the time

Had the choice of dealing with a tantrumming child or rushing out to grab this one. So guess what I chose. Just bet Nufrat there as she came down to watch/laugh at finders. We must of been wearing camo, hence why Zorgon couldn't see us. We saw you Pleased to get FTF as I did have a slow trip to the cache. Dropped off TB

congratulations 11hpg11 for FTF
to Zorgon, it isnt always the cache that is camo lol, and yes we did see you
