Moneydorks Moneybox #1 (Canterbury) Rolleston, South Island, New Zealand

The container has now been collected.
Didn't see any sign of its contents.

I have decided to archive this cache.
I still haven't picked up the container but will in th near future.

Had printed my cache notes at the end of December so didn't know that this was temporarily out of commission. Only stopped to find it as we had been to Jess's cache just up the road. I had planned to collect the key later this week but was just reccying the whereabouts of the cache. It's still there and in the same condition as described by Butterfly Lady. DS8300

Disabled pending a maintenance visit.
See Butterfly_Lady's log.

Was in the area, saw this on the radar - let's go see what's it's about.

Well we found it - the cache container, the lid and two silica gel sachets.
But as we have not done the puzzle side of the cache, will not claim it as found.
Definitely muggled.
Have emailed the cache owner, as to where we placed it etc...

1st one of 3 to find took a little while but a fun one

Last one of the set done. ya!

Tricky

Thanks

Found without problems, but it was a wet cold day. TFTC. TNLN.

4pm, #4 of day 5 of our week in Chch (that's 73 to date). Still had the travel bug keys we retrieved from Witch's Childhood Playground. Easy find of cache, now off to find somewhere challenging enough to put the keys... nearly finished the rugby series.

This was a bit of a last minute decision to come back out and find this one today, after dropping by Finance 101. Ran across the field from the car in the moonlight, and managed to find the cache without the torch. Fumbled around and opened it, and logged it quickly as I need to head back into town. No exchange made. Cheers Gav [888]

Yeehah!
After chasing a set of keys around Canterbury, I finally made it to the cache site on the way to a "gathering" nearby. In the pitch darkness, with the light of the Legend's backlight guiding? me across the sodden grass, the cache was quickly found. Buckomama was waiting across the park in the car (safely locked inside).
Please excuse the scrawled writing, because we came in the vehicle which doesn't have the caching gear, so I was writing in the dark and it was raining!
Thanks MD. Maybe for the other one I could try the maths bit!

I was given a key so this was a quick find on the way home.Took a small coloured ball and left a couple of plasic dinosaurs.

Found on way home from a successful day cache hunting curtesy of Lytteltonwitch who had the key. Found the cache exposed against the wire fence. Replaced it in the most likely original hiding place. Left a strawberry eraser.

Easily found this but had wrong keys so did not log it as a find. We did this one at night with torches and handheld radios.

Found on a jaunt to check a couple of our caches this morning. Took nought, left nought. Good one Moneydork.

Popped the Ceocaching event coin and Schwarzes Schaf TB into this cache today and then grabbed them out again.
Cheers Conton

Very easy find, as was the 2nd moneybox... Now I'll have to hide those keys in a very difficult place... Cheers Moneydork it was fun. No swaps here.

A pleasant journey around the countryside from Moneybox #2. Traffic on SH1 very busy but no muggles present near cache. TNLN Long-john

An easy find on a lovely morning - just come down from Box #2.
No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(445)

This is a cool cache / idea.
No idea what that Kiwijam is on about.

Our second of the Moneyboxes today, quickly found and logged, thanks.

Great cache concept! Looked like the yellow team were winning the soccer.

Drove out here and watched some soccer. These locked caches are a neat idea.
Tim tried to turn me upside down, but I escaped.

Picked up Moneydork's Keys #1 TB from Froggy Fun aka Prickle Paradise cache so I had a reason to visit and later remove this cache from my unfound list. I would recommend that others visiting do so on a Sunday afternoon if they want to avoid muggles. I never saw any muggles at all. There would be a very high muggle concentration in this area on a Saturday.

Picked up a key from Finance 101, given the distance lucky we live close to 101. The tennis muggles and dog club muggles where both to busy chasing balls to notice me in the shrubs. +$1USD, - pink teddy ( it was Valentines!!)

Have now set up two Travel Bugs with keys - TBG6JJ and TBJQ07.

quick find, I found the the key about 240km away

Many Thanks Bitsprayer

I was impressed for a few seconds when Mercury started snuffling in a bush - I thought that he had finally got the idea of sniffing out caches. But no - it was a tennis ball. A bonus I suppose. So how many more of these are there? Can we put the key back now? TNLN, Thanks.

Well Rodney was up bright and early and set out to retrieve a key so we could log this cache. The weather was atrocious at this early time of the day but by the time we got to the cache site it was much later and the rain had passed over, just leaving wet plant life behind it. The cache was found and accessed quickly and we carried on to do the other tasks that had necessitated our journey into this part of the world.
Thanks Moneydork
Iris & Rodney & Raewyn.
