Clay Pits Puzzle Box Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

dartymoor: Checked whilst replacing a missing cache nearby and it was quite visible. Decision to archive taken because the puzzle box has indeed suffered some damage (although it's done quite well, overall!) and isn't repairable as the bit of wood is missing. I no longer have any more puzzle boxes to replace it with so it's time to go.

Was fun though and very pleased it reached 23 Favourites out of 83 finds. Thanks to all who tried it!

Geocache Description:

The log is inside a chinese puzzle box - can you open it?

As puzzle boxes go, this is one of the easier ones, but please be gentle and don't try to force it.

I've placed it close to a parking spot, so if you arrive by car you can sit in comfort and work it out. (My testers either 'got' this one immediately, or took ages.)

Edit: Second puzzle box installed after theft of the original. Very different type but still wooden.
