May pay to chase up these DnFs and lack of reviewer attentions ignored. Cheers

It was stolen unfortunately.

Didnt find it again today

I think the cache may be missing no or destroyed as there is no sign of it and multiple people havent found it recently

Dont think its here

Unfortunately not able to locate

No luck for me today on this one but only spent a few minutes on my way home.

I looked for a good 20 mins all around the bush area, I couldn’t find it

Took a while but got it eventually

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Looks like this one needs replacing or archiving.

Did not find it. A boy that lives around said some girls came and took it

Had a quick look around but after reading the previous posts we didn’t try very hard. Next time maybe.

Didn’t find

??

Tftc! Easy find

Too easy

Woah nice size container have dropped a trackable to continue its journey
TFTC

This was a quick and easy find, but I had to wait a bit as there was someone across the street for a while. Thanks!

Thanks we added a golden medal and took the geo bug to out in another geocahce

TSG wiped

Tickety boo

#10,706. I was making my way now to the airport to pick up Infoferret who was flying up for the Mega event this weekend. I saw this cache nearby and decided to stop. A big tree and lots of ground cover. Thought this could take a while but no it is a good sized cache. It was tucked in out of sight from the path but still easy to spot once the search began. Nice one. Signed the logsheet and replaced the container where found. Thanks Ben for hiding it here.

TFTC. Lovely to walk around different areas of Akl and have a goal.

Yay my 8 year old found this quick as quick and she was so stoked.

Found

Found it on a nice sunny day

Well here I am wandering around One Tree Hill, and I spotted this one, and knew I had to make the detour to come and find. You see gorby was the last finder, and well, I could not resist.

So here I am, reaching in, and soon was signing the log. A little damp, but no problems signing.

Congratulations Ben on your first hide, hopefully you are enjoying finding them too

I had to go and visit my work mate Wayne. He just shifted a week ago to One Tree Hill. We had to sort out details since he was very generously giving me his van seeing as he didn't need it any longer.

So while in the area, I decided to take the much longer route home, starting with this cache. No problem with this, log paper just a little damp, but easily able to write on. The container is very visible once you are close to the tree, but it looks quite settled there and won't be removed soon. Thanks for bringing me here Ben.

Found it !

Ez

Our first geocache!!

So cute! Easy to find. Was a bit wet but algood

Found with darcydee97 log is quite damp and *very* easy to find. Thanks for the cache!

Found it

Juvenile shark eyes was extremely happy to know there was a quick easy find a few doors up from his home.

Found it, log is quite wet and needs some attention but otherwise worth the effort thanks!

Found one wet Geocache. Our first one. Thanks

It was fun to find but in was empty.

Nice day for a nice dind

A nice quick find that requires a bit of close looking, thank you for a nice starter cache!

This was very quickly spotted, so much so that it's likely to be muggled where it is. The paper is quite damp and starting to go moldy so it might need some maintenance, TFTC!

Nice easy find to tick off a dot day TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Someone needs to bring along some swapables! The lunchbox sized container was bare! Tftc

Quick and easy find with my friends Nichols+Ngatia

Quick find. Nichols

Did a couple of laps then found the cache eventually, a little further from the subject item than I expected. All good here and quiet. Great coordinates. TFTC Ben and congrats on your first hide

I am in Auckland for a couple of days on work duty, but it’s a packed itinerary visiting suppliers and clients. The only chance for a spot of caching is early this morning before the sun is up. I solved a couple of simple puzzles close to where I am staying on Great South Rd before getting here, so went for a little loop drive and found those and a couple more. Was great to drive around the area I used to live in 25 years ago, brought back some memories. Thanks all COs.

Have been meaning to secure this cache close to home for a while so stoked to have picked it up today - after a climb up to the top of One Tree Hill. This one was a little easier to secure!

Thanks for the awesome hide. And appreciate you placing this one in Onehunga for us.

Quick and pleasant find on quiet Sunday afternoon while in the area to pick-up some local hides.
【T】【F】【T】【C】

Had popped to Dresssmart to sort out final gear for Tongariro Alpine Crossing next month and Mr Keylev was at a local building fixing a computer. As can happen this was taking longer then expected so I went to keep busy and find some caches.

Amazing to find such a large container here - hope it lasts!

Thanks for the cache.

Super cute find

Needed to visit relatives nearby, so was very pleased to spot this one. Thought it might be a tricky find, but soon had it. Tftc

The paper stuck to the cover is getting worn. TFTC

Great First cach.
I like the way you have invited people how find it to have a go at geocaching.

Very nice tree!

Quite surprised to find such a large cache in such a heavy trafficked area.

Thanks for the placement!

What a great spot for a hide that was quickly located. Dropped off the Dutch Canadians TB and took the cow-a-bunga dude TB. TFTC

a quick find, dropped TB and took TB's to move along, thanks for the placement

So pleased to have found a decent sized cache so that we could drop off these trackables! Thanks for such a great sized container. Took nothing. Would have left some loot but recently got a new car and the loot bag is at home.

Wandered of my walking route to grab this cache. Didnt take long to find. Tftc

Sweet

TFTC

In the area. Found after quick serch

Cool cach. When we saw a photo from previous logs, showing what we were looking for, it became easy. Beautiful area. We had to wait for a couple of people that were chatting right where we wanted to be.

Dnf i will come back and find you hopefully!!! I wonder if the container couldve blown away? Thanks for the challenge

Excellent. Went out for a walk then decided to see what caches were around. I was trying to think of a way to 'sign' the log without a pen and was very pleased to find a pencil in the cache. Thank you.

Nice large new cache in my hood, thanks.

I hate bloody Agapanthas......cheers V.

When we arrived at GZ I was a bit dismayed to see all the Agathas - however Mr P found the cache without any trouble. T4tc

We found it GG

Just out for the one cache today while doing a few other things and this one was nice and close to home relatively speaking.

Parked up around the corner and walked back and only took a couple of minutes to find this cache as it is a beauty of a good size and plenty of room. Didn't have any swag with me today but did drop a travel bug.

Thanks for the nice big urban cache - good stuff! All good here thanks.

Thanks that was a pretty impressive berm tftc

In the area for a spot of cache maintenance on one of my placements. With that out of the way there was still time to collect a few hides before heading for home. I parked up and crossed the road to access the obvious GZ. A short search and the good sized container was soon spotted. Cheers for the cache placement!

Found while on a trip north with tmann421.
Enjoying discovering the areas and finding some caches.
Signed the log tm/ww NZ
TFTC

Nice find with woolwood9 today.
*Thanks for giving us a reason to visit this area!*
Signed log: **tm/ww NZ** (may be a black smudge on plastic logs)

There was a car parked across the road loading something into the back so it was necessary to walK past GZ and explore the nearby streets until the coast was clear.
Five minutes later they had gone but now another neighbour was messing around with their bins so another walk past was required.
Fortunately it was third time lucky on the next attempt and there was no one in sight.
This one could have taken a while but the nice sized container made it easy to spot.
Cache is dry and in great condition.
Nice hiding spot. Thanks Ben

Managed to score a nice close parking space and although this isn't our fav type of hide the nicely sized cache was easily located.

All is well with the cache and is in good condition.

Thanks

Mrs Jag and I had just been for a walk around Cornwall Park so we nipped over to collect this one. Because of it's size it wasn't too hard to spot

These kind of hides can sometimes take a while to find, but thanks to the size of this cache it didn't take us too long to find. Nice quick park and grab. Thanks Ben

My first day caching after lock down TFTC. Left a TB

bop time

yee

Tftc. A nice easy find on our celebrating the end of lockdown geocaching day!

Cute

Despicable! This is the closest geocache to my house and the first one I've logged.

Wow we had a treasure so close to our house! Yah

I took advantage of the government's permission to exercise and went out to grab this one. TFTC.

We did it

Sam 6 years old found it . Thanks

First one ever, really proud when I found it thanks so much.

Found while out for a wander trying to get my wife into labour!

The boys found there first one xxx thank you xxx

The country is on lockdown but the government has advised we can go out for exercise.This cache is close to where we live.So we managed to find it on our walk around the neighbourhood today whilst spotting all the teddy bears in peoples windows too.An interesting tree.Was surprised with the size of this cache.Well done on your first hide.

Thanks for the lovely find to do so close ti home! FTC

Interesting tree hair cut!
Found large container easily thanks and added a toy.
Hope it does not go missing as tricky to hide one of this size....

Hi, thank you all so much for all the positive comments, after the COVID-19 situation I will be making it a bit harder to find so members of the puplic won’t find it. Stay safe

Published

Couldn’t believe how close this was to home when I saw it published so grabbed Mini McArgister and we zoomed a few streets over to try to nab this. Sent Mini over to the obvious spot. Good coordinates thank you. Mini made a quick find. I hope this isn’t too conspicuous and lasts a long time. We liked the obvious hard work someone’s put into the log book. Nice and blank for us so a good team McArgister FTF. Thanks for the new closest to home traditional cache!
