Coordinate Sniffer

Paste a whole cache page and have every coordinate, half coordinate and suspicious run of digits in it pointed out.

The cache page

Paste more than you think you need. The point of this tool is to catch what you skimmed past.

Found

Nothing yet.

    Why scan a listing you have already read?

    Because mystery cache listings are written to be skimmed past. The posted coordinates are bogus by design, so your eye learns to ignore anything coordinate-shaped near the top of the page. Then the real half of the answer turns out to be sitting in the middle of a paragraph about the history of the village, written as fifty one degrees, twenty four point five seven zero or hidden in an image caption.

    What counts as a find

    A complete pair is two halves that parse together into a real point, and those are worth opening on a map straight away. Half a coordinate is a single hemisphere letter with numbers after it: very common in multi-stage caches, where each stage gives you part of the final. A run of digits is the weakest signal, and the one most likely to be a phone number or a date. But seven digits in a row is also exactly what a coordinate looks like once somebody has stripped the spaces out, so it's shown with a reading suggested.

    If it finds nothing

    That is information too: the answer is encoded rather than hidden. Send the suspicious-looking part of the page to Decode Anything, or try the null cipher extractor on the prose itself, which is the usual home of an answer that no amount of reading will reveal.
