Looks like the cache is gone yet again. Time to archive.

The CO has suggested that we can log this as found (after providing photo evidence) and that they will be carrying our maintenance in the near future. Thank you HeMaLuDy .

Not having much luck today. Two out of two DNF’s. What we did find was looks to be one part of a magnetic container. As we are unsure of what the original looks like - can’t confirm this is it - but definitely the remnants of some sort of cache. Will log owner maintenance just in case and send photos through to the CO.

As per log

Somewhere around here could not find due to GPS swinging around.

Best one yet! Super small and incredibly well disguised!

????

A bit of free time whilst my partner was in the mall. Some AdLab stages and this traditional….

I certainly had the right idea but it took a good while to spot the little bugger.

Thanks HeMaLuDy

Had a short break at lunchtime in the area, so had a 20 min look, no luck. Very busy, so will be back another time!

This was one of the first ever that I tried to find all those months back with leiusandkyla. Oh how I have evolved as a Cacher lol back then I wouldn't have been looking for something so small

A good 45 or so mins to find in between trying to be stealth and my kūri making her a new friend in the security guard patrolling the mall area ️ love these size finds! Happy belated 50th for 6 years ago Mr NZT! Looking forward to see what they hide for your 60th

Buzzybb & I were doing the Ad lab at night & there was no one around so we were able to have a good look. Buzzybb found it, I was at the wrong hint item. Log was damaged so she had trouble getting it back in. Sneaky but definitely still here. Tftc

We did the Ad lab tonight, so as we were so close thought we would try and find this one. Luckily it was nice and quiet which meant we could have a good look around. A sneaky hide, but definitely still there. Log completely messed up so v difficult getting back in, but did our best. Tftc

Looked everywhere and anywhere possible! DNF checked each chair thoroughly and the area! Might need to see if it's still there?! Found a lolly though. Still there

Didn’t find it - but do recommend the person who put it there check if it still there.

HAHA

DNF

Searched every place available and DNF

Didn’t take too long to track this one down.
Travelled up from Dunedin for my first Mega event and wanting to sign off some geotour caches as well in Auckland and Northland.
Thanks for the cache, HeMaLuDy

Couldn’t find this one today, might need to check it’s still here? Disorderly couple forced early departure from search ️

Couldnt find this one. Looks like someone has been there and removed multiple screws. We found these scattered all over the ground. Might want to check the cache is still there in case it's been taken.

TFTC! ️

Looked at the wrong seat first but once I realised which one I found it quickly

Found it still good. Tftc! ??

Found killed some time before a movie tftc!

Cache is fine

It’s raining today so not too many people by gz which helps a lot. TFTC

Second time today trying this one only coz its local to my home. New to hunting and so after i failed at this one earlier on in the day & decided to try afew others did i realise how small they can really be. Came back and found so easily. Tftc

2nd day at trying to get this one, even with a bit of rain i was able to find the sneaky little bugger, tftc

Fairly busy here today but the guy on the nearest seat was concentrating on his fone so all good. Nabbed while doing the AL. Tftc

A nice quick find thanks. Reasonably quiet at GZ was helpful.

Ms_KR and I are on our annual pilgrimage to Auckland for our family Christmas. Today we Started the trip home. Please excuse the generic logs, there have been a few finds and they get muddled up sometimes.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Log was well and truly jammed in. Found ok, but not so friendly guy sat down in the next seat, and was watching me. I felt uncomfortable, so did something That I've never had to do before - take cache with me to replace on my way back home.

Cache is back. On same chair, with with a bit of cache creep due to someone else now being nearby.

Found with toby84

TFTC having 5hrs to kill went 4 a walk around Westfield

Nice a quiet here today well out doing the Adventure cache for a small amount of exercise. All good here with the cache

Nice easy find while in area doing the newish Adventure Lab.

Maybe options of where to look!

Although visually I found it very quickly.

Thanks you!

Cool place
Just out on an adventure with dad and this was here

Wow out an oboist doing the marriage adventure and stopped off here for a normal cashe. TFTC

Couldn’t find?

Took a bit of hunting but eventually found it, it is very small tftc

Glad to rectify the dnf from last year. Found relatively easy after dodging the pile of vomit right at the GZ. Some undesireables lurking around

Halfway To One Hundred (Auckland) was transferred from darthcacher1 to user HeMaLuDy

I have been here a couple of times before, but always seemed to be the wrong time due to loads of muggles, however today after a short visit to Totora Park, I thought another visit would be good later in the day. I knew it was there but it was still the second candidate I investigated today, yay finally knocked this off, TFTC

A little less than two years ago, we were "exclusive friends" who were brand new to caching and well out of our depth! We couldn't find this one despite spending an inordinate amount of time looking for it! Now we're husband and wife with a few cache finds to our name. We decided to come back here and located the cache after a few minutes of hunting. We had to be patient, because a nearby muggle was suspicious of us and kept watching us...but eventually he left, and we were able to grab the cache and sign the log. TFTC

Lovely little park and amazing cache TFTC

Cool one ft jaylee buuuut no pen

Found it, but had no pen so photo it is. Tftg

When waiting for the bus to the airport. What a great coincidence, today is my wife's 50th birthday Thank you for the cache!

Wow night time caching sixth one for the day putty can't leave something 4th an 5th person in the logs

We were on our way into the mall for dinner before heading back to our accommodation, it would be rude to way straight past the cache much to the disapproval of my sister however one of our group was intrigued so hung back to help with the find. Thanks for placing darthcacher1 & purply

A hard cache to grab between all the chatting on the bench. TFTC signed for the NZGA group. TFTC

Not often down this direction so took the opportunity to find the daily cache. Beautiful day and surprisingly very few muggles out enjoying it. GPS took a little while to settle but this was the logical GZ once it did. Took a couple of passes to locate. Surprised to find a blank log- perhaps the previous finders found the original cache? TFTC

Had a nice chat with gentleman and found cache. Had a few minutes between plane, bus and train. TFTC

Few minutes to fill in waiting for bus.

Cache back in place, replaced on behalf of CO.

Nope. Co needs to check as per pervious posts

Have tried this one a few times but with all the dnfs I'm struggling to believe it's still here

Last found in April, 3rd dnf. Spent quite a bit of time leaving and coming back to a different seat. Wish I had read the logs first.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck today

Arrived here after Rainbows End, as we walked towards the train station.
Had a quick look while a couple of guys were sitting and smoking weed.
They asked what "wee wuz lookin foor...", we said we were playing a game... they wanted to play too, and mentioned even if we didn't find it, that "it's all about the journey..."
Then out of the blue... 3 men in blue came strolling past... the guys scattered, as did us dodgy buggers. Although we didn't find, we had a laugh.

We are up from Invercargill for a couple of days with friends and decided to look for this one as we waited for a train back from Rainbows End today, as we approached GZ the smell of weed wafted past from 2 men sitting nearby. They asked what we were doing and wanted to help, but we fobbed off their kind gestures. Hubby was clearly in search mode and too busy to notice the two men scarper very quickly, I turned just in time to see 3 policeman heading in our direction so after a hissed "oi, get UP" to hubby we were quickly on our way. Saw one of the weed smokers over the road as we were leaving, he had a giggle and apologized to us, but really we all must have looked dodgy and had a laugh together. Oh well, if we're up here again someday we may try again.

GZ was empty when arrived. Hi-vis jacket helps for me! Found while in Manukau shopping area. TFTC

Out in the area finding some caches on a quiet day. Arrived at GZ and there was an older gent sitting there enjoying a smoke. So waited till he moved on before getting down the a sewrious search. TFTC.

Bit worried as it hadn’t been found for a while but all ok

This was a good little find for the lil guy, went at a good time no peeps

Just needed one cache today to keep the run going, not that it's very impressive but streaks have to start somewhere. We were out nearby at an appointment so came to look for this one as caches near our house are pretty few and far between these days.

Parked nearby and walked across and saw the likely spots...did take a few but in the end switched the phone over the satellite mode and picked out the likely spot. Luckily a Wednesday afternoon seemed a good time to come, everyone was inside rather than outside, which is a shame given how nice the weather is today. Got there in the end and found the cache.

Thanks for the cache, all good here.

In Auckland for a few days work. A bit of spare time today so I went to find a few caches. I passed this milestone (or should that be millstone) a few years ago myself. And today? The 25th... Well that's halfway to 50 so an appropriate find - in about the 3rd spot I checked. TFTC, Biggles.

Thanks for the cache.

we did't know the first time so we want the 2 time and we found it

Have a couple of days off work to spend with the geo-kids on school holidays so after a big breakfast and trip to the library we headed out to find some caches to help us with the hidden creatures souvenirs.

First one of the day and although there were a few people around no one noticed us reach in for a quick find.

Thanks for the cache.

Looking around the map for caches to pick up for the Hidden Creatures thing going on and realised ooops - I found this one late last year and never logged it... doh! Well done now. TFTC!!!

Before I visited the Cinema I had some time to make a quick find here.
Took my only a few Moments to get it. Thanks for hiding!

Made a morning visit here, as I don’t work too far away. Phone GPS took me straight to the correct hint item, where a muggle sat, so just had to wait a short while until he cleared off. Then a quick find, signed and returned. How cool to have a cache in honour of your special birthday, Mr NZTravellers! Judging from the date the cache was placed, that would make you and TD the same age. Something about England winning the football world cup?! TFTC

Tried looking but couldn’t see it anywhere. Maybe others will find it straight away but we spent a good hour trying to look without muggles noticing us.

By now it was pouring with rain, and unfortunately it took a few seats to find the right one, thanks

Ryan was out and about on his bike today so picked up a few caches while doing so. TFTC

We wanted to boost our finds number for this date, so came to South Auckland this evening to bag a few. Walked to GZ tonight and had the place pretty much to ourselves. Found the cache after checking a couple of possible spots. Thanks.

8.10am - Good time to do this cache. Could imagine area will get very busy later in the day. SLTFTC

Log Replaced

We were with the FTF group on publication and Mr (Sir) NZT to help him celebrate getting halfway to 100. Much to their frustration we stood back and offered no advice, and we chose not to log the cache then as, being the CO's parents we were present on placement. We were again with the CO today as he replaced the log, and made a point of finding the cache for him so we could sign the log.
