A nice park and grab one. Thanks for the cache!

Quick find, tftc!

Cute hide. In town for the P!nk concert tomorrow so thought a little stroll before dinner would be nice. Tftc

Tftc

Gehschei came here in memory of Mosgiel Sheep. . TftC.

Nice cache container, TFTC. I needed a cache for dot day and I had a free hour so this one fitted the bill. Good to learn about Arthur’s Yarns too.

Cool cache container. TFTC

The doggo barking was a major distraction and we got nervous and noped out

On my way to visit a friend in hospital and getting some caches on the way. All good with the cache. Thanks

Our last one for today. Love the info in description and the beautiful house. The cache is awesome so a fav from us. Thanks for the cache grapea.

Cache checked, present and correct and new log added.

Today I was in Mosgiel again and so I went around more caches Greetings from the Czech Republic and Thanks For This Cache.
Díky za keš.

Quick find on a morning stroll - a nice hide - TFTC

Found a wee bit ago but didn’t log was bit soggy

Cool cache needs replaced

Co'ods had me a little way over from where we found the hide. Spotted the hide, I've always liked these ones until . . . .
The log book was loose with the pages showing it's age and many mugglings by newbies and those who follow. Found an open spot to throw some initials and should the cache owner be visiting their cache sometime, they are less likely to find any evidence of the doe eyed noob who banged over 100 Otago caches not signing logs including some town ones already confirmed missing. Neglecting to sign any of their logs expecting peeps to have pens and paper in their micros. A TikTok influencer caching on their phone ho ho hum getting sooo close to the Caversham WP. They already had their log for the premium only Mill Siding cache deleted. That bolt can't be reached from the car door.
Returned this cache as found, log pages furled around the stem. Tree cover is gone, providing what used to be a dry hide but makes the plaque easier to see. No 3D printed feature was found at the GZ. *Labyrinth 1st lantern bonus **50pt** next move on maze high fav **20pt** trad **145pt**.* TFTC

Perfect hiding it

Quick find. Interesting history. TFTC

Cache 1149 Quick find here though the dogs on the property will have given away my cover with their guard barking, quick find, cache container in good condition but new log book is required this one fell apart in my hands though is still singable T4TC

Quick find a nice wee sneaky one tftc

I had some time to fill in before my flight back home this morning. I filled this up by going for a walk along the Silver Stream and exploring a few areas of Mosgiel I haven't visited before.

TFTC

Had a few minutes before I had to jump on a plane back home. Dropped a friend off at home so just wondering around the area.

Quick find. I saw it front the rode as I drove up. TFTC

Woke up the nearby dog but otherwise ok. Log falling apart though.

Very quick find. What a great piece of history. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Log is very fragile.

Had to work out how to open! Nice cache

Very wet inside and very fragile but I could still sign it. A clever hid and a favourite point from me. TFTH

TFTC . Another find

Was aiming to do the other nearby cache by the CO as I thought there would be more cover in the lane. Unfortunately my height let me down on this occasion as the fence was not up to concealing me and was in full view of the neighbour’s window and someone inside. Ducking would look even worse so headed over to this one and made an easy find with all houses looking quiet. Clever hide but the logbook was a bit damp (but writable). Tftc

TFTC back at it after time away from Geos

On a three week trip to the lower South Island with tmann421 hunting caches.
Enjoyed the trip around and the challenge of the finds.

On a mission today to pick up the first seven new Wonders all. Before picking up the Grandies at 3pm
Achieved yah
Happy to have found Mount Everest on my travels

TFTC and bringing here.

Quick find; tftc

Actually spotted the cache site last night but wrong time to confirm with cars parking and a neighbour with a very open view tinkering in the garden. Changed tactics today and took the push chair for better cover and confirmed we had spotted the right item. Log book is quite damp and mouldy but still signs me. TFTC #344

Thanks for the cache

A nice little hide but not closed up completely so log a bit wet but still writable! TFTC

Final one after a long caching day. Thanks for the placement and a neat idea.

Dog kennel: check.
Yapping dogs: check.
Nosey neighbours: check.
CO gone the extra mile to provide an interesting hide: check.

Thank you for the cache

After some time re-printing and repairing this cache container it is back in action. New features in the vacinity include a dog kennel in the front yard of the property related to the cache and two new homes opposite looking directly onto the ground zero. Extra stealth required now.

Maintenance complete.

It has taken some time to review the design of the 3D printed container for this hide. Now reviewed, printed and strengthened. I am awaiting the glue to dry before replacing the cache in the next week or two.

In the meantime the new houses on the section opposite the cache location are nearing completion and look directly at the cache site. Should mean this cache will need more stealth than ever.

Cache should be in place and enabled by 4 October.

Many reports of a damp log so I have brought it in for maintenance.

Found. Log looks like 150 year old, needs maintenance.

Too wet to sign took photo TFTC needs replacing

Log after gems log. .mushy can't sign

Cache is wet, log unsignable. Picture attached for proof

Quick find cool cache gets a fave from us TFTC

Land din Dunedin, and stopped by Mosgiel to see what is there, on the way into town. Found caches instead. Cool little bit of history. No pen, so photo attached. Excellent camo too. TFTC, greetings from Auckland

Good hide log book is wet. TFTC #2043

A day trip to Dunedin on a training course. Now that the learning is over and I think a cache before the drive home .
So managed to sneak away from the others long enough to track this one down .
Log wet so did my best to find a dryer spot.
With log signed back just in time to head for home.
Log wet

A quick find after dinner in Mosgiel. Had some time after a busy weekend in Dunedin to find some geocaches in Mosgiel with Harlandia and K&G. Tftc

Lovely evening out with Uncle G and Granny R

Needed to go round the houses due to road works on main road. TFTC

Well hidden, thanks

We are on our summer holiday, just driving around exploring the South Island. We do not really have a destination in mind and we stay where ever we are when we run out of daylight or enthusiasm for moving around.
This was a nice quick and easy find, the log was a bit damp but still useable.
Thank you for placing the cache and thank you for the smiley

a quick find, but quite a few dogs getting excited. TFTC

TFTC now if only micros could be rolled this way

Found by lincoln and Cassidy

Well hidden. Nice old house

Well hidden. Had to be careful as someone watching in back flat was wondering what I was up too.

Very sneaky. TFTC

TFTC. quickly spotted.

Nice quick find nice to learn more dunedin history thftc

Ye

Very clever hide. Tftc

Sadly on our way back down to Dunedin after the Geo Fest Omaru 2017, and stopping in on some high favorite caches along the way with NZTravellers, KeyLev, and UncleSamNZ.

Arrived in Dunedin earlier than expected so headed down here to fill in time before the flight home.....the neighbors started to take an interest in what we were doing just as we were leaving.

Signed in as SEAC17 to save log book space.

TFTC.

Cool cache.

Greetings from an Auckland Cacher. Here with some of my crew for the “Almost Mega” event.

Day 4 of our trip. And heading back to the airport.

Sorry for the generic logs. Thanks for taking the time to place this cache.

All logs signed as “Team SEAC”

In the area for the geofest...after some FTF fun we decided to return to the original plan which was to head to Dunedin whilst stopping for some high favourited caches along the way...we were not disappointed!!

Stopped close by and saw exactly where the cache was. Had just signed and returned log when the neighbours came out....phew not sure if they are aware it is here....

Thanks for the cache.

Signed as SEAC 17 (South East Auckland Crew)

The last day of our geocaching adventure with team SEAC 17 in Oamaru for the Geofest. had a great time during the weekend and saw some great sights around Danseys Pass, through the lakes and the clay cliffs of Omarama and of course the funky Steam punk and historic buildings around Oamaru. Who knew this gem of an area was tucked away in the South Island!
On our way back to Dunedin today to catch our flight back to Auckland and decided to target highly favourited caches only as we had limited time.

A quick drive by in Mosgiel before heading to the airport. spotted the cache and then the neighbours came out looking a little suspicious! luckily we had signed the log and were heading for the car, hope they know about the cache! TFTC!

Awesome find

This is a nicely constructed cache and we found it during a walk to find somewhere to eat this evening - the cache was a quicker find than the place to eat,

First evening in New Zealand. Found on a wander around town whilst looking for somewhere to eat

Clever. Fooled me at first.

An evening meeting in Mosgiel was the opportunity to fill in one of those pesky mid-week dot days, and Arthur was the chosen one. Thankfully the locals were all inside with their curtains closed at this time of night, and Arthur was ferreted out. Interesting little bit of history tucked away.

Spotted a likely hiding place from the car & sure enough, came up trumps. Soon had the signed log back in place without any obvious attention from the locals - in spite of some children playing noisily over a nearby hedge. TFTC

Found on a chilly day! But sunny

Thanks tried to get this a few weeks ago but some one working out in the yard. No one around today and an easy find

Full log to come

found it

I spotted it but had to wait until a muggle walked past. So I was pretending to be rather interested in something on my phone. As soon as they were out of sight I got my hands on the logbook. Thanks

Quick find with Frame Family. Thanks. Great handy work here.

Easy park and grab, tftc!

Our appropriately disguised cachemobile meant that we fitted in nicely. Found with debsnz

A clever hide and one that fits in with it's surroundings very well. Found with AorakiSheep.

Finally found the time to reprint the parts of the 3D printed cache and reconstruct. Ready for action again.

Thanks to those cachers who alerted me to the problems with the cache container. Requires a new 3D print so might be out of action for a few weeks.

Got to be said that I wonder how gentle some cachers are with the cache containers. This one has been hammered.

Up and running again.

See Found log...it'd be a shame for this one to be washed out.
