Geocache Description:

This uses a NFC tag so will need a phone that can do, it might be NFC enabled, might not do though.

Pencil and pencil sharpener are not swaps. What I know. All our NFC tags are compatible with Android, Windows and IOS 11+ using iPhone 7 or newer

These 3 caches replacing 1 big tech filled cache no one was doing even if a certain make of phone and last 3 generations of that did the chirp thing and NFC tags. All a bit disappointing so splitting up into 3 caches. It was this one.

Published coordinents is an NFC tag in a pot hidden just off a footpath. Scan this with correct app and will be told where to go for the cache and a hint.

Easy stuff.

What I know about the tags.

​Your smartphone needs NFC, android phones can use a free app called NFC Tools. On the app when the tag is read the wording comes up at the bottom so a bit of scrolling to get to the 2 sentences it will give you, coordinents and a little hint for the actual cache nearby. That area can also be muddy so wellies a good idea.

Might be a group effort with a choice of 2 NFC phones of different makes. Not sure what will read them. Lets see how it goes.  

Take the tag out. I can tell people have not then really will struggle. Need to tap back of phone. be flat and mm from back. Phone powers the thing, little microchip that transmits a tiny signal. Uses coils and electric fields, flat and close.
