High Stakes Gadget Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

LeviCol: I guess people hate locked ammo cans, third one smashed. Takes way too much time to create these magnetic puzzle caches so it's time to lay this one to rest. Muggles keep revisiting

Geocache Description:


A royal treasury is hidden high up on this hill. It's fairly steep so walk carefully.

This is a traditional ammo can cache with a twist! It's locked and I'm not sharing the code! This type of cache is called a gadget cache. Assess the ammo can and figure out the code to get it open! 

The cache before you is covered in playing cards with several numbers and positions. Similar to an escape room, this box has a trick to solving it. You'll have to use your caching intuition, a few random attempts, or perhaps... a tool of the trade? I highly encourage you to try solving this before you glance at the hint!

 Once you figure out the trick needed to discern the numbers for the lock, just line them up from the smallest number to the largest!

Didnt think I'd need to add this but DONT BEND AND TWIST THE CACHE TO TRY FORCING IT OPEN! Solve it. Had 2 people make me replace parts due to snapping it. PLEASE be respectful and if you can't solve it, message me or leave a note that you tried. Don't put DNF for not solving. 

Be sure to sign the log and lock it when done! Permission for this placement was granted by the Kirksville Parks and Rec department. Please search during daylight hours only.

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[Don't read this before giving it a try! If you struggle to learn the code, look to the Joker. The joker was kept in court for his jokes and antics. He had a very Magnetic personality! Be creative like him: Try using a Key to unlock the padlock.
