Did find a shirt, pair of socks, shoes, and bottles of various sizes but unfortunately no cache or remnants of one.
We found it! Woohoo after looking once before we actually found the cache this time. Unfortunately the container was open and a spider (or some type of bug) had laid eggs amongst the tightly rolled logbook. Even with tweezers we were unable to pull out the paper - it has dried and we couldn't remove it nor the eggs/bugs. Will send a photo of the container to the CO to verify our find. Cool container which deserves a tick.
Found with dakotacats on Christmas morning. Photo of cache sent to CO to verify our find. The container wasn't attached to anything and with the cap off, the logbook was stuck in place and there was a bug of some description which had laid eggs amongst the paper. Ewwww.
Tried to find it on two separate trips to Warrington, again I couldn't find it. I think it has been lost at sea.
I went twice around the HeeBee, and then made cross sectional forays from top to bottom and bottom to top. No joy.

Another cache found in the rain with tmann421 on a fun geocaching trip away.
Thanks for encouraging us to visit this area - good drive around.

Another good find while in the area with Just-Lookin.
Weather was against us today with heavy rain showers.
Talk about windy as well here today - We found this cache after a bit of a search
THE LOG IS SUPER FULL had to stamp over an old faint name TFTC

Wasn't immediately apparent but realising I needed to standup and open my eyes!! Soon had it in hand. Tftc
A wee bit of a look around for this cool cache soon had in hand ! Needs new log tftc
A great little find while the tide was in. Very very disappointed what the backpackers left behind this morning! TFTC
Found while on a mission in the local area - in fact, it was the meeting point for gadget169, sirbennis, Hevic and myself. I did the bulk of the looking but it turned out not to need much as the cache was rather distinctive - a useful little bit of fun though. Cheers!
Second time I've been here. First time I didn't have tweezers with me. Made sure I did today. Thanks

Nice sunny day, lots of people out gathering shellfish on the beach. Soon found, great container. TFTC
What a great place for a cache. The sun was out the water was so flat it was reflecting everything in sight. The cache was an easy find so TFTC
After getting the one on the end of the spit I grabbed the tweezers from the car and came back for this one Luckily the muggles didn't hang around long.
Do like the containers (have one like this too).
Container in good condition. Log is almost full.

We had to take a close look at the zero point .

I was here just over two years ago when daywalk found it. Although I knew what the container looked like I had forgotten the size and it had migrated to the other side of the object where is had seeked refuged. Nevertheless P&Vee spotted it first. We were with KiwiChris and others.
Although some in the group of Wednesday Walkers had already found this one, it still took some time as the bush has grown and the container has taken note of the CO's comments and moved a bit. Anyway with several pairs of eyes it did not elude us for too long, so the logbook was duly signed and we moved on to the next one.

Nice morning today to go exploring! We were surprised by the number of freedom campers on the way, I never realised what a popular place this was! GPS took us away from all the sleeping muggles to a very nice spot, where we could search in peace - and we did need a bit of time before spotting it!!! Very cool hide!! The container was open, and the logbook rather stuck after repeatedly going through rain and shine I guess. Tunfisk managed to get it out and we signed, and I did my best to close the lid, but its lips have been twisted out in places, so not sure if/how long it will hold shut. The paper should be able to withstand some moisture though! TFTC!!

Found with docndi today , a great hide and had us all searching. Cache container was on the ground so we reattached as we thought it should be! Log damp but still able to be written on. TFTC
Not far from 9th Day of Christmas, cunningly hidden. We see that we will need to have a cache-kit with handy things like tweezers, spare pen, and bug spray! Ha ha TFTC.
A clever container in a fitting place, a busy place today, found the cache but had real trouble trying to extract the log so returnrd to the ute for tweezers and still could not extract the log so made a mark and the waited for walker muggles to move on before replacing the cache.
Thanks

Our first cache in the new year! Hee Bee found quickly and Jee Bee also was located in no time on this wonderful summer's day. TFTC
This one took us longer than it should. Good hide, and yes, it seems to have a friend now. Plenty of trash there too, but sadly we didn't have a container with us for removal.
Walking with daywalk you always get the benefit of geocaching experience. She'd anticipated the cache container, but still I found it a surprise and lots of fun. Thanks for this cache.
Walking past so time to pounce on this one. But extricating the log was almost impossible - who's got tweezers? Caching assistant Caro had some in her Swiss army knife! Ended up as a group dissection tutorial by caching assistant Vicky. It was a very cheerful group of walkers wandering onward, thanks stegan.
Found at 12:58:00 p.m. on 3/08/2014.
A nicely worked cache - quickly grabbed but didn't have the equipment for the nearby EarthCache - I'll be back.

A short diversion on our journey south today rewarded but finding Hee Bee Jee Bees. TFTC
Great afternoon caching in the Dunedin Area, have not cached down here a about 6 months, still have heaps to do.
Thanks Bitsprayer.
Thanks Bitsprayer.
A return visit, this time with suitable impliments of destruction ! Mother Duck did the honours and I struggled with the paper log... or was it plastic ? No matter, a nice challenge.
Even with tweezers we couldn't get the log out so like Woody we took a photo as evidence of finding. Looks like the critter has found a friend to keep it company.
With no wind and the sun out, it was a beautiful day to be on the beach today. While waiting for some horse riding muggles to pass we grabbed the info. for the nearby earthcache. Once the horses had past, we spent a good 5 minutes trying to get the log for this out. The horse riding muggles were spotted in the distance returning so we took a photo of the hide and hope this is sufficient for us to log.
A good find with a twist. Loved it. Tweezers very helpful, thanks for the hint.
Found the cache OK but despite having a Swiss Army knife set of tweezers and a multitool with needle nose pliers I was unable to extract the log.
I took a photo as proof of the find and I'll leave it up to the CO if that's good enough.

FTF on a nice, straightforward cache. Would recommend taking tweezers to make extracting the log sheet easier, especially as you need to leave the cache itself in situ and just take the log out. The log sheet reads "Clue: followed by a letter of the alphabet". Are we to collect this info for a later cache? Nothing about it on the page. Pleasant ride out to the cache, adding a bit more to global warming in the process TFTC.
I thought I was in for a bit of a walk to this one but I drove right to it. Took a moment to figure out the hint, and then a short search. Tweezers are a necessity, and a piece of wire to re-roll the log around might be useful too. Thanks.
