Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not the true coordinates.




For centuries man has contemplated the transformation of ordinary metal to gold. Local legend has it that there is a small castle in this area that is often frequented by one such man that shares that dream. Little is known about this person or about his successes or failures in his quest. Years ago, a single slip of parchment was found outside the castle. Many people believe it is the necessary elements needed to obtain for the alchemy process. I believe it holds other information (OK – I created this cache, so I know it holds other information). In order to find the cache you will need to study the lists of chemicals and derive a set of coordinates from them.

Bromine Thallium
Magnesium Neon
Fluorine Boron
Beryllium Oxygen
Carbon Fluorine

The cache resides on the grounds of one of the most impressive city parks I’ve ever visited (closes at dusk). Be sure to bring your kids, or if you don’t have kids – grab some on the way. They will enjoy visiting “the castle”. The cache is an ammo can, but is well hidden under heavy tree cover. I averaged 15ft accuracy when placing the cache – your results may vary. If it was a smaller container, I would give a finders hint, but how hard can it be to find an ammo can anyway???
