Geocache Description:

Small container, about 4" diameter, hidden outside the Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum. The Museum is about to be closed for a lengthy remodeling.

New coordinates and location 11/23/08. Description updated.


This should be an easy find as the cache is in plain sight and outside the main entryway. Do take a peek across the street to make sure the neighbors aren't watching though.

See the Museum website for information on when it will reopen. The cache is not inside the museum so it should be accessible at most times, but you'll be conspicuous if you're there at odd hours so plan accordingly.

When removing the cache, please don't grab it by the lid or you may pull of the lid and leave the rest of the cache in place. :) You'll want to give the cache a good tug to remove the whole thing.
