THE NORTHERN SHAFT of the Diamond Mine Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

NCreviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

After several months of drilling and digging and with permission of the Diamond Mine owners(The Fraygirls) we have done it. We have drilled a northern shaft.

PLEASE ONLY TAKE 1 CONTAINER PER CACHE NAME, AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THIS CACHE IF EVERYONE TAKES 2 OR 3 CONTAINERS. THANK YOU THE MINE OWNERS.

An ammo can full of geocaching diamonds hidden in the in Onslow Pines Park. Please NO BUSHWACKING following the trails until the last few feet then there will be alittle bushwacking

Of course, all good diamonds come with a proposal or other strings attached. These are no different. You no longer HAVE to place a cache to take credit for this cache be we GRACIOUSLY ask that you extract a diamond from the mine and plant it for others to find. That’s right: we GRACIOUSLY ask you to place a cache. The diamond that you extract from the mine can be used as a stand-alone cache, or as part of a larger, multi-stage cache. We don’t care...just have fun!

Regular cache placement rules apply: if you are visiting from out-of-town, then you will need to hide your container back near home. If you’re local, then there are lots of good places to hide a cache in Jacksonville! Please if you do GRACIOUSLY place one, don’t forget to include the GC number for your new cache in your log – we want to admire your handiwork! THANK YOU !!!!

The Northern Shaft of the diamond mine contains cache containers of various types and sizes. Some of the containers are more traditional, while others are straight from the twisted minds of the Team Monkey Business(RangerTJ,Soccerkid and Dolphingirl). Take your pick! We will be re-stocking the mine on a regular basis, but please let us know if the mine seems to be getting low. While we are happy to provide temporary housing for a travel bug or two, we ask that you not leave any trade items in this cache. The purpose of The Northern Shaft of the Diamond Mine is simply to encourage you to get out there and hide a cache. Because if there’s one thing this world (or at least Jacksonville) needs, it’s MORE CACHES!

And finally, why did we call this cache The Northern Shaft of the Diamond Mine? To make a long story short: We loved visiting the Diamond Mind and we need more caches in Jacksonvillle. So thanks go to the Fraygirls for giving us this GREAT idea and to JackcacheNC for giving them the container and the idea!
