A small clip and lock box. This cache has been in place for nearly 2 years before being published and I checked it today (28/02/2015) and it was in perfect condition. Please ensure that it is returned to it's hiding place in that state for the enjoyment of others who follow you.

There is a laminated card inside the cache. Please leave it there but be prepared to take notes or a photograph. You never know when you'll need the information contained within ... or maybe you won't.

Due to the smallish number of possibilities there will be no geochecker for this one to avoid the machine-gun approach! Get researching your rattlers!

No spoilers in the logs please. Spoiler logs will be deleted. Absolutely no correspondence will be entered into regarding anything to do with this puzzle
