Two-Factor (CC1101) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

sshipway: This cache has been muggled by workmen who have repaired the bridge; in addition, most of the key trackables have gone missing. As a result, I'm archiving this cache as it would be too costly for me to properly replace it.
I hope previous seekers all had fun in the hunt, now its time to free up the location for other new hides

Geocache Description:

"Two Factor authentication": Something you HAVE, and something you KNOW. This mystery cache requires you to first obtain the correct coordinates - the published coordinates are incorrect, but within a few km of the cache. To do this, you also need to find at least one of the associated trackables, plus the hidden clue. Once you have the coordinates, find the cache and use the trackable to get in!

To solve this mystery, you need to obtain two things: one of the special trackable objects below, and the extra clue hidden on this page. Combined, these will give you the correct coordinates, and access to the cache when you get there. Key items:
TB3E3VX TB3E3WF TB3E3WP TB3E3VC

When you have used an object, please place it into any other cache in the Auckland area as soon as you can do so.

The cache is a 40x15x15cm (9 litre) metal box. It will be easier to see with a torch. The special tool required is to extract the coordinates from the trackable; smartphone owners will have an advantage.

At initial deployment, the cache contained a large number of swag items, including some special ones. Please remember to replace anything you take with something of equal value. There are two watertight boxes and a lot of spare space inside the metal box.

Congratulations to 10centcoin and funkymunkyzone for FTF, a mere 11 hours after the first trackable was released!
