Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the co-ordinates at the head of this page. You will need to analyse the news article below to find out where it is hidden.

A farmer in Inverness-shire was stunned today when he heard what sounded like a small explosion. On investigation he discovered a small hole in the roof of his Pig Pen. The hole appeared to have been caused by a piece of metal which had fallen through.

The metal lump, about the size of a small plate, is silver in colour and has a series of strange markings on one side. A team of
top scientists have been analysing the find around the clock since its discovery.

52 year old farm owner, James Cavendish said "I don't care what it is. I'm just glad it didn't hit my prize porker."

Landlord of the local pub The Royal Arch said "Myself and several customers heard the noise from here."

Below is a representation of the markings. As yet, scientists are baffled as to the origin of the item and the meaning of the markings. If anyone can offer an insight into what these markings mean, please contact us.

None of the pigs were harmed by the falling object.
