Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the given coordinates!

The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial gardens. Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours, Michigan law states that you are only permitted to visit cemeteries dawn to dusk through out the state unless other hours are posted.


Located within this quaint, historic cemetery is the grave of Isaac Heth, one of Southfield's first settlers. To find the cache, you will need to visit his final resting place.
