Pack of Puzzles (Canterbury) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Grandalf: The cache has definitely vanished, most likely removed as rubbish by active Council gardeners who have cleared away most of the material used to hide the cachebox.
So I'm archiving this cache, with the intention of using the same type of puzzle at another site.

In my last posting, I asked the previous three DNFs to email me the coordinates they had solved. Only one did so, and they were correct. So I'm permitting them to log the cache to be the last finder.
Cheers from Grandalf

Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are dummy - don't go there.

All you need to do is to solve the puzzle shown in the CardPuzzle image below.
Find the card number and the suit of each of the eight missing cards, and fill these into the final cache coordinates of: S 43 AB.CD9 E 172 AB.CD5
The South minutes are red suits, and the East minutes are black suits.
Look for a pattern - there is no need to analyse all the possibilities.
You can see the King of Hearts is an excellent image of Grandalf - but that has no relevance to the puzzle.



The cache is a black 1-litre screwtop, with logbook, pencil, sharpener, and various trading goodies.
