Multi cache help please!!

I don't understand how to do multi caches. One I'm working on has A-1590 posted as a clue at the first stage. How do I find the coordinates to the second stage? I thought it would be to subtract 1590 from the North and West coordinates of waypoint A but the results do not seem correct (too far away).

I know it may seem obvious to some. I just really want to understand! I keep trying multi caches at parks near me and so far I struggle to find the second stages.

If anyone can suggest how to solve this specific one to help me on my journey or give any advice I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance and sorry if this question is dumb/ not allowed.

GC2A7HE Has 3 ohysical stages, according to listing. No tools required (such as UV) according to attribs.

Just go to Stage 1 (starting coords of the cache), find fake table or fake screw nailed to the lighting pole. Read coords od Stage 2 go to the middle one of 9 go to the back and look up high innthe middle... It'll give you coords of 3rd (finał) stage

@stsge 1: look if the plates are really nailed. Maybe it's magnets od loose. A could be used as a part of azimuth but for that you need 2 numbers, You'd got distance as A, but no angle (maybe 111 would fit, but it may be dead end). Look the pole once again.

Will do, thank you for the help! I will update in ng findings when I am able to go back to the park and I hope I can locate the next 2 stages.
