Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve puzzle for the cache coordinates.
There are 3 gold one dollar President coins one each for the first 3 finders.


Since the beginning of time there was always a curiosity about what the fundamental substances were, how and why things worked, or even how encryptic messages were sent. Einstein, DaVinci and many others including Presidents were those who sought answers to such things.

Things were always in some order and when chemist Demitri Mendeleev made his first Periodic Table, the arrangements of the elements were in such a way that he left spaces in the Table for new elements and yet-to-be discovered ones. For his creation of the Periodic Table the element Mendelevium was named after him.

Promethium, Aluminum, Palladium, Platinum, Einsteinium, Manganese, Polonium, Rubidium, Tellurium
