In this mystery cache the task is the following for a successful log:
Logs without a photo will be deleted. Stones without a hole
or e.g. shells with a hole do not qualify for a log release! We have
published several chicken gods caches on Sylt, for each cache you need
one chicken god found there with a corresponding location proof photo.
We have made the best finding experiences in the morning with the
beginning flood. We gave a slightly higher D-rating, because it is not
so easy to find an appropriate "chicken god" at first go.
What is
a chicken god? The chicken god (adder stone/witch stone) is called in
the vernacular a stone with a natural hole. Such stones are often flint
stones with chalk deposits that are weathered. On Sylt you will often
find flints in different colours on the beach. The most dominant colour
is black. There are also more rarely grey and brown tones, see picture.
The "real" chicken god has a pinhead-sized hole up to several
centimetres in diameter, often the remains of a once embedded fossil sea
lily stalk. In Germany, chicken gods can be found on the Baltic and
North Sea coasts and are a popular souvenir for tourists as a lucky
charm.

Heute stand mit effeemme und Familie eine Wanderung um die Odde an. Begonnen haben wir am Leuchtturm. Im Gegensatz zur Stelle östlich des Leuchtturms schien ein Fund hier nicht so leicht möglich, doch am Saum des Hochwasserstandes war ein kleiner Stein mit sogar zwei Löchern angeschwemmt worden.
Koordinaten des Fundortes:
N 54° 44.843' E 008° 17.804'

Gut, dass 500m Umkreis erlaubt waren - auch wenn der Fundort nun näher am anderen Hühnergott-Cache lag als an diesem.
Gefunden bei N 54° 44.924 E 008° 17.668. DfdC!
