I guess different artists use different materials, because we went back 
today to recheck some of them. In the course of that, we revisited one that 
was so badly faded that the cache owner had to modify the written clue to 
correspond to something one could clearly see on the painting.

BTW, that Japanese junk called a X100S keeps going periodically into some 
strange mode where settings change, or cannot be changed when desired. Other 
than that it is a superb camera, with a totally silent shutter because the 
diaphragm is the shutter, and a damn good lens with an asph element. All 
those pictures were so over-exposed that I thought they were trash. But when 
I put them into LR, it turns out that all the data was there and all I had 
to do was to shift one slider: exposure. Of course, I added the usually 
crap: lens correction for perspective, clarity, vibrance, and some 
sharpening.
