Geocache Description:

Congratulations! You found it! Or did you? Finding the container is only the first step in logging this difficulty 4 cache. The box is in your hands, but can you open it?

This is the first cache in a series, "Breaking In", by Dioptre and Crew 153. Each cache in the series presents a new challenge, principly relating to opening the cache and finding the co-ordinates or a hint for the next cache in the series.

Clues to the nature of the challenge may be found in the cache listing, and inside the cache outer container. Multiple visits to the cache may be required.

"The Detonator" is hidden near an old quarry in Toohey Forest. The outer container should be only moderately difficult to find. However, the inner container can only be opened in a certain way. WHATEVER YOU TRY, DO NOT DAMAGE THE INNER CONTAINER. This is a game of skill, not of brute force.

The inner container includes a pen, a log book, and instructions for the next cache in the series, "The Vault".
