Unfortunately a DNF. Maybe it's been muggled?
30th
Last cache on my list today, but no luck. I think I know the nano I'm looking for, if it's anything like a few other really really small nanos around, but nothing found here, not tucked in or up anywhere! Looks like a good place for a nano though!
24th
OK, this is not our cache. It was not pleasant to sit down with the southerly (the one of the four winds we do not like at all!).
Tried to feel for something hidden but could not locate anything. Have to watch the listing and will be on our way immediatly after it will be found!
17th
Instant find and no muggles, plus my smallest find to date! Thanks
17th
No wind only drizzle.Second try at this one as last time it was gone.Found easily today,no one about only traffic speeding by.We love these tiny ones.TFTC.

Called by to replace the cache. It is hidden in a slightly different way but still in the same place. Please take care with it as it has been muggled several times now. This is the last replacment - next time it will be archived.

7th
Working nearby so went for a quick spot of caching at lunch.... Had a good look and feel around but couldn't find anything. Will try again soon but judging by the last couple of logs i wonder if its been muggled?
6th
A good feel around only produced a wet hand on this dreary night.
5th
Second visit and still no luck. Oh darn.

Great "little" cache
Had a lovely time locating it

I nearly mistook it for part of the chair!
So small, but a great experience!
Couldn't fit name in log, so put date and a smiley face.
-Nothing
+More nothing.

A fantastic little cache. Have driven past this reserve for years - never appreciated what a nice little spot it is to sit and watch a busy world from!

Out for a bit of caching at dusk and found this one no problems. TFTC

cool nano. no muggles. beautiful sunny day. busy corner. TNLN. TFTC. SL.

I have driven past this cache literally hundreds of times, thought today was the day. Easy find. Luckily didn't need to unravel much as found an empty spot big enough for my name and date.
Thanks.

February 2009

A fairly quick find that I hoped the nearby architects didn't observe through their window. The size reminded me of like ones in Oamaru. TFTC. Hatas

January 2009

Called by and replaced cache container and the log. All set to go again.
25th
Not a lot of activity around when out finding this one. Cute cache. Managed a tiny scribble at the end of the page. TFTC
24th
Went and quickly picked this one up while waiting for my takeaways to cook. Didn't leave an entry in the log "book" as there was no room.
TFTC.
18th
Quick find. Tiny! Only managed to write my name, not the date as the log is now full!
Thanks for the cache.
17th
Very tiny. Hate trying to write in these nanos.
Log book now is full.

Cute. A pleasant pause on a bike ride.
8th
After a two year wait, we finally returned to locate the cache and claim our find. The directions are excellent with the cache found first 'feel'. I did have an idea what we'd be looking for, after a like cache close to home. SL. Thanks to Hello Mrs for the cache

Easy find on bike ride home. TFTC

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble.
This cache was tiny and cute!
25th
Had a wee sit and a feel (for the cache!) but I wasn't hopeful after seeing the previous two DNFs and I also did not have recourse to the clue so I probably didn't give this one a fair go. The start of a very unsuccessful geocaching cycle ride. As a consolation I released some bookcrossing books instead.
1st
Hmmm. Disappointed that I could not find this one. Not like me 
April 2008
12th
did not find is it still there
12th
Cycled by and put a new log in the cache. All ready to go again.
11th
A nice little park. Had to do a lot of feeling around for this one. A great hide.
TFTC
11th
The strip of paper is now full.
6th
Yes!!!! Second or third attempt to find this little beauty! Interesting how you miss things the first time. Very clever & tiny. Just about need another log strip.
TFTC.

The tiniest cache we have ever seen.. so cute 
This one was fun

Found a rush hour (4 of us, plenty of distractors). Don't reckon anyone was interested in what we were up to. TFTC
15th
My very first geocache!
February 2008
6th
so small but quickly found by the young ones in our group. TFTC. enjoyed having a quick seat in this spot and checking out sculpture. gorgeous Waitangi day.
6th
number 2 of 5 on waitangi day. unluckily we only got 4 of 5 because our pic on UC IC was when we were leaving.
Loved the cache.

The first time the Little Explorer's had seen a nano so they enjoyed searching for this one as we had a well earned rest. Emma was the first to find. No one was the wiser, kids are great distractions! TFTC.
3rd
Car ground to a screeching halt when we realised we were at zero metres for a cache. Looked it up and then had a quick find, as we have experience with these kind from Greymouth!!!!! tnln tf the lovely spot.
January 2008
31st
Missed it first time so had to go back. Nice cache.
15th
Was on the way to Portland Conundrum by bike on a beaut summer evening but ran out of time so picked this one up on my way home.
TNLN (obviously!). TFTC.
13th
Cheers TNLN took a little bit of time
6th
Easy find with help from experienced cachers showing us what a microcache is all about
2nd
Found just before lunch, took more time than I thought we would need.
T4TC.
2nd
Too subtle for us. Will try again another day.
1st
needed a couple of goes at this little guy, found it in the end. Nice one
1st
nice little cache thanks
December 2007
29th
Got up early to get some christchurch caches before I return car. my first cache of the morning and that means no muggles this early. Took longer to replace the log.
28th
Loved this one! Final NZ cache before the airport with sp00k and ciotach, always good to end with a find! Log is full.
28th
Out with Nikadoodle on a last quick cache trip on our way to the airport to see her off back to Aussie. This was Niks last cache before checking in!! Found it easily after decrypting the clue. What a neat container. The log is full however so only had room to write Nikadood in it.
TNLN sort of SL
15th
Placed a number like this myself, all ways abit tricky, but not to much of a problem, nice spot to I must say!
TFTC!
3rd
Searched >30 mins-in vain. Next time better!!

Found by Sunshine Toledo from OZ at 10:00am. This is a well hidden nano in a small park passed by by lots of traffic. TNLNSL TFTC
November 2007
24th
good find. Didnt take to long.
10th
Must have looked like the out-of-towners we were to the people that observed Mr B from the get-go. In the end, Mr B decided to stick to the theme by continuing to act like an idiot who would apparently randomly sit on various seats checking out the craftmanship while rain was descending upon him, but it was worth it in the end, as this was our very FIRST nano-cache!
October 2007
22nd
That is one tiny cache. Good quick find, unfortunately we forgot to bring a pen - but this saved us trying to get it back in. TFTC.
12th
Nice One!!!!!!!! It sure was a Nano! Took more time getting the log back in the "container", than it did to find the container. Great weekend in Christchurch. TNLN (That will get someone thinking) Thanks
8th
Such a tiny little nano,
at a very busy park.
We found it after dinner,
when it was getting dark.
6th
Fourth and final cache tonight.
A quaint little nano! And a nice sculpture to go with.
TNLNSL
Cheers,
Blarghster.

28th
This is the closest cache to where I lived as a child so I have been wanting to find it ever since I knew it was here.
Had trouble writing small enough on the peice of paper!
24th
I really enjoyed this one!! My first Nanocache, it was even smaller than what I was expecting, thanks Hello Mrs!!
4th
Quick find in rain with nephew SL TFTC
2nd
Love the wee nanos have done a few in Wgtn, i find the trickest part in getting the paper back in. TFTC
July 2007
15th
Can't believe we missed it last time - very easy find! TFTC SL
8th
Wow!! My smallest find ever. And I would pick a Sunday with 5 degrees of frost. My fingers were so clumsy. Thought I'd lose it in the leaf litter. My name was first on the new roll. In good condition, but precariously balanced in it's hiding position. Thankyou.
June 2007
30th
Found cache in an exposed position. Almost could not open as lid was on too tight. Log has been replaced all set to go again.
28th
Great cache, suprisingly tricky to find
28th
My first nano, YAY
Definately needs new paper, added a small piece which has room for a few more logs but container won't fit anymore.
TFTC
24th
Yes it is real nano. I think my hand missed it a couple of times till I felt something very small and unusual. Don't bother taking the log out till the new one is put in. It was hard getting it small enough again to slip. It might have been impossible earlier in the morning with cold fingers.
TFTC!
21st
The four winds were blowing when we set out to do this cache.. was a very blustery day. Thankfully we could retreat back to the warmth of the car quickly: the nano was an easy find after all our time caching in central Wellington. Anyone who's spent a little time caching there will know what I mean..
The log was pretty full - but we managed to find a little corner on the log to fit in a "McP" and the date. Nice cache.. thanks!
16th
A quick find in the dark,was no room to write even our initials.
16th
Found late last night with Lytteltonwitch but was unable to sign log as there is no room left, nice little park even in the dark. TFTC
8th
At last! When I finally found it it was obvious, I don't know how I missed it on the previous couple of visits. Having said that, it really is "nano"!
Log is completely full, I suspect my log was over faded pencil. Even then I had to abbreviate to 8/6 RW3.
TFTC
7th
Log will be replaced by owner end of June. Currently overseas.
4th
This is a very small little find and took six of us a wee while to locate. Thank you to Nandor and Adventure for goos team work.
Thanks for the cache.
4th
1st cache of a full day of caching around Canterbury. The race was on, with 6 of us scrambling around madly searching! My goodness that's one small cache! Thanks
3rd
After my October DNF because the nano was missing, went in search after passing by a few weeks ago. Have just been updating my finds after very little geocaching action for a few months. Did indeed find - (just where I was looking the first visit), but not a great deal of room to write. Left initials and dated. TFTC
May 2007
28th
I knew it was impressively tiny, I decoded the clue, all I didn't do was find it! I will be back to try again, but running out of ideas as I thought I was pretty thorough.
20th
another nice little Christchurch park, the log is full although we managed to squeeze in
TNLN TFTC
20th
Purchased sushi at Bush Inn and took along with us as a diversion. Seen one of these before so new what we were looking for, but did not find.
17th
Yes this would have to be the smallest cache I have found yet,, easy find even with lots of muggles watching lol..cheers and thanks
5th
Easy quick find during a cycle tour of the city. Given previous log entry by ADV, (and the fact I have had trouble getting the logs back into those containres in past), I elected not to log my find.
April 2007
21st
Have seen a few of these containers before. Nice little corner for a break despite the proximty to a busy street.
Yes, log is totally full. I wrote over top of an entry that was well faded away with handling and folding of the logs.
TFTC
20th
Excellent little spot. The logsheet is completely full now.
17th
Yep, smallest of our 700 odd finds. Neat cache - thanks.
9th
That has to be the tiniest cache we have ever found!!
March 2007
28th
Have hunted for this one a few times (cycle past it most days). Read the hint and that did the trick. Didn't have a pen, so didn't add to the log.
18th
WOW! Tiny little critter this one was. We need more of these urban caches...they're good fun!
Only three more log visits left on the log book when I visited.
TFTC
12th
Very lucky quick find. I've done a few of these so had an idea what to look for.
T4TC Hello Mrs - M@
11th
Have driven past this everyday so thought it was time to get out & look for it. Awesome little container.
4th
hmm, took me quite a while to find my first cache in New Zealand. Nice one, although a bit tricky.

Hmmm found this time, not quite what I expected, I want some.
Thanks Bisprayer
23rd
The Witch had this one in hand before I could even sit down. TFTC.
11th
I have driven past this many times since it has been maintained. It was a piece of cake to find this time, although I had to drag it back to the car to get a pen to sign it. Cheers Gav [1066]

Nice statue, good container! Where do you get those?

What an interesting cache! So small and of high quality. Eventually found after a minute or two. Just great!
14th
Took a while to find. Very tricky indeed . Packing that logbook was a pain!
13th
Driving past so just had to stop. Great lite nano container. Where did you find it? DS8300
5th
Great spot – interesting carving. We have laid two of these containers in our home area of Hamilton, so it is great to see one elsewhere.
2nd
Went back today and found it straight away, Nanocache means Nanocache, had fun rolling up the log.
December 2006
28th
Great container - took me ages to roll the log sheet up! TFTC
26th
Decrypted hint and still could not find it, may have gone missing ! Will be interested to see if anyone else finds it. Good Luck.
23rd
Took more time to put the log back in the container than it did to find. Great spot, great cache - thanks.
13th
I thought I had a tiny cache lined up but it seems huge when compared with this one. I am very impressed.thanks,
S.T.
9th
Good find and amazing how tiny the cache was.Glad to do this one.
Thanks Hello Mrs
November 2006
29th
Took a while, didn't think I'd be looking for something so small. Got it in the end and managed a scrawl, but recommend that you bring a fine tipped pen for this one! Thanks.
26th
Hmmmm no luck with this one will try again another day.
Bitsprayer
22nd
Due the high density of muggles passing by decided to look innocent and grabbed a coffee from across the road and then relaxed in the park for my search. An awesome wee cache.
Thanks
15th
Took a minute or two to find... Cool cache, thanks.

Very sneaky Cache.... but found it... So very sneaky

Hi there
Sat on the bench and checked everywhere. Maybe we missed it. I will try again this evening and see if its there.
Thanks
Ryrager & Amethyst
22nd
Found with The A Team from Alex.
What a neat little cache.
Put 2 TB's in it... just kidding.
18th
I was very happy to see this cache reemerge. Very nice hide. Signed log and placed back securely where I had found it. Thanks!
17th
Tricky little chap. Thanks
16th
The cache has been replaced today with a new log. Please take care to place the cache securely it its current position when you leave.
7th
Three no finds in a row not a good look. Was passing so stopped to see if cache was there. Sadly it is indeed missing no sign of it anywhere. Will replace next time I am passing.
5th
With all the wind we have had lately, maybe this nano has blown away!!!
4th
- The frowney says it all. Twoo in a row now

Too tricky for me. Two trips and no luck.

Found by Moneydork Junior (9) on our 3rd visit!!!
Great WEE challenge.
30th
not the smallist i have found where did you get it and were can i get some thx
30th
this is the smallest cache i have ever seen! - cheers
30th
Smaller than I ever imagined a cache could be!!! didnt bother unwrapping to write our names. Took a bt of searching as not exactly where the clue indicated - put it back in place where the clue indicates. Obviously left nothing given the size.
17th
 It's so little!
12th
Found with ease as cache was visible! It's not now. Almost added pencil lead to cache, must be enough room. Certainly the smallest cache I've seen. Cheers Hello Mrs.
10th
Cache not the scale we had imagined even with the word "nano" in there. Definitely the smallest cache we've ever done. Thanks
8th
Found on a lovely sunny morning - before the rain came!! I've seen two nano-caches just like that in Wellington - but they had the paper packed so tight it was impossible to get out. Good marks to Hello Mrs - just the right size of paper - and room for about 4-5 more finders before you need to renew the paper. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(583)
7th
We were just passing through the intersection and I quickly jumped out, left the girls in the car, and with no clues or hints to follow its now understandable that I couldnt find it. Nice sculpture too. So next time I'll find you.
Cheers,
SeaJ&Kat
6th
Biked back into Christchurch at lunchtime and had no trouble finding the cache. That nano is pretty small for one with fat fingers. TN. Left name.
5th
This one is just a short distance from me.. We drove there and walked to the corner. We have been there on another occasion and taken photos of the 4 sides.
4th
A nice quick find on the way home. Thanks.
3rd
We were heading back through ChCh after a weekend in Kaikoura and decided to do a couple of caches on the way past. This is a nice wee spot so close to a busy intersection. Not to tricky to find, I'm sure it helped that I have been looking a getting a couple of these myself. Thanks for showing me one in action
August 2006
29th
Cycled to Belfast from Kaiapoi then decided that as it was a nice day I would continue to Ilam. Unfortunately I had no details of this cache apart from the coords and didn't know what to look for. Had lunch on one of the seats and then cycled home. It seems I was soooooooo close. 
26th
Cute! Quick find. Brilliant idea. TFTC
26th
Clever little cache.
25th
1190. Loved it!! Hardest thing was writing our name that small!! We sat and enjoyed the sunshine for a while then read all the plaques around the area.
Thanks for our smallest cache find ever!
Iris & Rodney
24th
Popped in after work to find. Now that is small. Had a good look at the four winds which had never stopped at before. TNLN
24th
This was very difficult. Mum (Linleye) and I found it together so it is a joint FTF. It was great to find it. Great cache. Thanks, Claw of the Forest.
24th
This was fun. It's a busy place and very hard to be discreet, especially when the local school is doing cycle training, and all those little heads keep stopping and looking round.The Claw and I found it eventually and with great elation as this is our first FTF. Very well done. TFTC.
