NoCredit-NoCache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

NoCache-NoCredit: Unfortunately this one is gone. This is the second ammo can I've had stolen in this park so I'm not going to replace it.
But I still have a supply of ammo cans so we'll see what we can hide.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, they should put you at my local bank. The cache is located within 2 miles of the bank.

Our caching ID is NoCache-NoCredit; if we don’t find it, we can’t log it. But this cache is NoCredit-NoCache; if you don’t have a credit card, you won’t find it.

This should work with any credit card in your wallet. Take the second set of 4 digits from your card and arrange the digits in ascending and then in descending order to get two 4-digit numbers. Add leading zeroes if necessary. Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. Take the result and again arrange the digits in ascending and descending order and repeat. Stop when the answer is the same as it was in the previous step. (You should not have to repeat this more than 7 times.)

Now, take the last three digits in the final set of 4 numbers on your card and do the same. Arrange in ascending and descending order and subtract the smaller from the larger. And repeat again until you get the same answer again. Take the resulting 4-digit number and sum the digits and add it to this North coordinate 41.44.097. Take the resulting 3-digit number and subtract it (as is) from this West coordinate 086.16.863.

The smiley face tin is the first-to-find prize; it contains some geo-supplies including an unactivated travel bug, some batteries, and poison ivy wash. Let us know when you activate the travel bug; we'd like to watch him.

The cache is an ammo can; please rehide better than you found it.
