Lock & Lock Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

New York Admin: I regret to report that the cache owner has not responded to the prior note about this disabled cache. I am archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, your contact information is correct and you have a maintenance plan in place I'll be happy to unarchive it.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Do not seek this cache without reading the cache description completely. The cache coordinates listed above are not the actual coordinates to the cache.


This is not your usual Lock & Lock cache. This cache is padlocked with two locks and requires that you go to another cache in the local area to find the key, a combination, and the correct coordinates before seeking this cache. The cache coordinates listed above are not the actual coordinates to the cache, however once you have the coordinates (and the key) the cache is an easy find and located close to a well maintained trail. This is a large cache able to accommodate most cache items and large travel bugs and contains a varied collection of cache items.

The cache is locked with a keyed padlock and a combination padlock so you will have to find the key, the combination, and the proper coordinates before looking for the cache.  Locating and finding the travel bug "Lock & Lock" will yield  the key and instructions for finding the combination and coordinates. This travel bug can be located in any cache within a 10 mile radius of  zip code 11730.

CLICK HERE to find the current location of the Lock & Lock travel bug.

Please adhere to this travel bugs RULES. Be considerate to the next geocacher and make a note in the caches logbook when you take "Lock & Lock" out of a cache. If you don't know about travel bugs then CLICK HERE to find out how they work.

Please replace the cache carefully and hide it just as well (if not better) than how you found it. Of course, don't forget to lock the cache and then place the key in another cache within 48 hours. REMEMBER: If you take the Lock & Lock TB and place it in another cache immediately AFTER doing the cache you will have to WRITE DOWN THE TB's NUMBER so that you will be able to log it's movements later!

First To Find Prize: An unactivated geocoin.

Lock & Lock Travel Bug RULES - Please follow them.

  1. DO NOT PLACE THE TRAVEL BUG IN THE CACHE! This will render the TB and cache useless.
  2. You need to place this TB in a cache within a 10 mile radius of zip code 11730. You can find one by clicking HERE. This will list the caches that this TB can be placed in and only these caches are eligible to hold the Lock & Lock travel bug.
  3. DO NOT keep this TB for more than 48 hours. This will give more people a chance to find the key, the combination, and the cache.
  4. This TB or any information from it is not allowed to be exchanged from cacher to cacher. This would defeat the cache hunt and gives an unfair advantage.
  5. Keep this TB moving! You can place this TB in a cache where it has already been but don't place it in the same cache twice in a row. Always place it in a different cache than where you found it.
  6. If you wish, you may add a key to the keyring to make the hunt more interesting!

I wish I could take credit for the "lockbox cache" idea, but I can't. There are several other caches already published with this general idea. The one that inspired this cache is " You Can Unlock Any Lock As Long As Ya Have The Key" (GCPJT1) by Jimmybojangles
