Will have to check this. We use our GPS on our phone because we are unable to get a proper one at the moment, so this may have something to do with the off co-ordinates. We will check it as soon as we can get over to it. Also will replace the cache itself, it is possible that the hide wasn't as stable as we had initially thought to hold the cache. Thanks Colleda for letting us know.
I happened to come across this one while working on my GSAK file. Don't know how I missed its publishing. This was about 2200 tonight. As it hadn't yet been found, and there wasn't much happening on the idiot box, I thought I may as well go get it. After this mornings' episode with 'Pirate Bay' I checked the coordinates on Google Earth only to find that GZ was out in the water.
Anyhow, as I know the area very well, I thought I would have a shot at it using the hint. Got to the little park and started making my way down the path, checking it out as per the hint, 'till I got to the bottom of the little cliff. At this point my Garmin was showing GZ at 16m out in the water. Made my way back up and, almost at the top, I found an empty mint tin on the ground. It looked as though it had a magnetic strip attached. I tried placing it on the nearby steel fence but the magnet wouldn't hold. Then, on the ground I found a bent TB with nothing attached, as though its hitch hiker had been forcibly removed.
I'm thinking now that I have found a cache that has fallen from its hide and been muggled. But no log in sight, that I could see by torchlight.
No log to sign, no find.
Thanks Jakeobek.
