Keep An Eye Out For One-Eyed Willie Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Goonies 7 : Final cache of ours in the 109 SGL. This is another cache that had been "replaced" over the years. The ammo can was long gone. Looks like 2018 or 2019 was last time it was there. Which explains why people kept saying the "lid was missing" as someone must've took some trash and created their own container. We were confused as it is rare that an ammo can is missing its lid. Kudos to JK186 who it looks like put a preform tube for the logbook in the bucket. Anyway, the area is open for someone to place a new cache. Thank you to all who solved this mystery and found the ammo can, and remember to always log your DNF's, etc., if a cache is not as it should be.

Geocache Description:

Hidden in conjunction with "Celebrating 13 Years!" Event held on April 27th, 2013.

A simple puzzle cache for One-Eyed Willie.

The Posted Coordinates Are NOT To The Cache.

The cache is located at N 41° 59.8AB W 079° 59.6CD

You mst answer the questions below to solve the coordinates.


One-Eyed Willie was the Captain of the Inferno, a pirate ship filled with treasure that The Goonies were hoping to find. One-Eyed Willie was a crafty pirate, who secured his ship in a lagoon, deep inside an underground cavern. One-Eyed Willie then surrounded his ship with dangerous traps that The Goonies had to avoid, and puzzles that The Goonies had to solve in order to reach their prize, all while being chased by the Fratelli gangsters who also wanted the treasure. Fortunately, this treasure will not be that hard to find, but you need to answer these questions to get the coordinates to the cache:

A = What is the name of One-Eyed Willie's Pirate Ship? Take the number of letters in the name and subtract 1. This is Letter A.

B = How many eye patches did One-Eye Willie wear? Take that number and add 6. This is Letter B.

C = What was the last name of the gangsters who also wanted One-Eyed Willie's treasure? Take the number of letters in the name and subtract 5. This is letter C.

D = One-Eyed Willie secured his ship deep inside an underground "what"? Take the number of letters in that word and add 3. This is Letter D.

This fully stocked ammo box is located in PA State Game Lands #109. It is located about a half mile away from parking, if you use the paths and avoid the swampy areas. You can park at: N 41° 59.952 W 080°00.215. Use caution, wear blaze orange during hunting season, and follow the PA Game Commission Rules and Regulations.

Update from Owner Log On 10/26/13 - Checked the coords for this cache on the PA Game Commission Mapping Center and it appears to be well within the game land borders with the closest border being about 200 to 300 feet to the south - with the natural border being the nearby East Branch (swamp) of LeBoeuf Creek. Go a bit further to the east and that border quickly opens up to a much wider area that is designated as game lands. I would recommend that people stay on the "trail" or high ground that leads to the cache and they would always be in the game lands area. That being stated, this is a game lands and extreme caution should always be taken during any hunting season and as already stated on the cache page all cachers are advised to - "Use caution, wear blaze orange during hunting season, and follow the PA Game Commission Rules and Regulations". This would include being wary of potential hunters and tree stands, etc...

Use the coordinate checker below to check your numbers. Please take time to properly cover the cache after you re-hide it. The terrain is based on our approach and the conditions present when we hid the cache. You can follow the main game land path till you reach a trailhead at: N 41° 59.944 W 079° 59.756. From there you can follow the path for a while, but then the trail seems to fade away. Tree coverage may hinder your signal. Use the hint if need it.
