Stealth or distraction is required at all times! The cache is hidden within a historical object that catches the eye of mechanical, geological, or historical folks and close examination is a common occurrence. Often you can drive in and park within ten feet of the cache. Be cautious with small children, since it is so near a road.
The hint is not likely needed and is a dead giveaway. It is suggested for use when mugglers are about, to minimize the obvious. If you don’t find it quickly when using the hint, something is wrong. Please log ‘no finds’ so we will know there is a problem.
Bring your own writing tool. About the volume of three film canisters. Replace with care. It will be easier on your nails if you also have a knife, screwdriver or similar thin item to wedge open the container. Cutting not required.
Try this without the hint....you can do it!
