Congrats to Boxer Bailey and Lobstergirl on co-FTF (and first to solve?)
The geocache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle below to find the coordinates.
Each of the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J and K represent one of the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. No two letters represent the same digit. In the picture below, the numbers are equal to the product of either the row or column of letters.
Located within the Gaspereau River Watershed on the South Mountain and featuring spectacular views of the Gaspereau Valley, the Minas Basin and Cape Blomidon, the 605 acre Wolfville Watershed Nature Preserve is home to many exceptional natural features. The property was the original water supply for the Town of Wolfville and it still serves as a back-up water supply source. This role has historically provided a level of protection that ensured the outstanding ecological qualities of the property were maintained.
I am pleased to also provide the following information from the NS Nature Trust:
This cache is on property protected by the Nova Scotia Nature Trust.

You can check your answer below. Enter your answer as the letters ordered from 0 to 8, with a "." after the 3rd and 6th letter. For example if your solution was A=7,B=2,C=3,D=1,E=4,F=9,G=5,H=6,J=8,K=0 you would enter KDB.CEG.HAJ . The "F=9" part is redundant and I like the answer nice and symmetric.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
