Geocache Description:


This is a Challenge cache. It is physically located at the Posted Coordinates.

As with any CHALLENGE cache there are additional logging requirements to log it as FOUND.

(1) You must find the container and sign the log before you can log it as a find online. You may find/sign before you are eligible to log as "FOUND". If that is the case you may log a NOTE indicating the date you signed the log.

(2) When you have met the logging requirements you may post a new FOUND log, dated on or after the date you are eligible to claim the find.

The Challenge
If you look closely at the cache coordinates (N 55 46.678, W 04 39.102) you will notice that they contain all the digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Pretty cool, huh? To qualify for this Challenge you need to have found ten more caches that have the magic numbers 0 to 9 hidden within the coordinates.

For example here is my top ten... all memorable and some exotic... London, Paris, Las Vegas, Kerala, New Zealand and Paisley!

48° 52.395' 002° 17.606' GC18TKN arc de triomphe
56° 19.034' -04° 20.187' GC5737M The Mirage on the Sal Sagev NCN7 Strip
55° 12.965' -06° 7.483' GC2JNZN Murlough Bay
56° 28.755' -04° 14.953' GC2TCKJ Melting Mouth ~ Chorizo Falls
09° 58.062' 076° 14.563' GC39M1J Fort Kochi Jawahar Park
-45° 2.315' 168° 39.477' GC1B2YW Great Scott! (Central Otago)
51° 30.912' 000° 8.476' GC3B8C7 Life begins at Oxford Circus
56° 31.978' -04° 49.572' GCT5Q0 Druim Liaghart
56° 10.039' -03° 48.127' GCY2Y8 Alva Glen
55° 48.933' -04° 26.217' GC5CE2A The Gem of Paisley

As you can see the posted coordinates of the cache (in the form N XX XX.XXX W YYY YY.YYY) must contain every digit 0-9 at least once. Any type of cache can be used. A Project GC checker is provided as a tool to check your achievement status at any time.


PGC Checker

✅ Qualified ~~~ checker output will show your total number of eligible finds.
❌ Not yet qualified ~~~ checker will show the total number so far, and how many more are required.
NOTE: Current Challenge Guidelines do not require you to post a list of your qualifiers. You MAY include them as part of your logging. As the Cache Owner I will verify your stats by using Project-GC. Sometimes other geocachers get inspiration from posted qualifiers lists posted in logs.
