Geocache Description:


Tumbler 1234 is located at the given coordinates but the cache container (a 50 cal. ammo can) is locked shut with a padlock.  In order to open the cache you must first retrieve the settings for the four tumblers from these nearby caches:

Setting for Tumbler #1: Tumbler 1 (GC8EWAE)
Setting for Tumbler #2: Tumbler 2 (GC8EWAH)
Setting for Tumbler #3: Tumbler 3 (GC8EWAJ)
Setting for Tumbler #4: Tumbler 4 (GC8EWAP)

Some notes and tips on opening Sesamee Padlocks:

  • Sesamee Padlocks have a special feature that aids in the opening of the padlock in the dark, or as the manufacturers refer to it, "sightless operation". When turned in one direction (I don't recall which direction) "all wheels will stop at 0-0-0-0. Once this has been done, simply turn each wheel in the reverse direction..." So if you discover the wheels won't turn past "0", try going in the other direction.
  • To Open: Dial-in the combination and depress the shackle.  Assuming the correct combination has been entered, the shackle will spring open.
  • To Lock: Turn the wheels (tumblers) to scramble the numbers.  Depress the Shackle.
