Glad to see this box is back. The trails there are
quite nice. An interesting question came to mind,
though.

What is the counting etiquette on hunting a box that
has moved from one hiding spot to another, but the
stamp is unchanged? Can someone that previously found
this box refind it and count again, almost like if you
find the same HH twice in two different boxes, or
would you not count it again in your F count?

This is in the faq

No.

No, unless the HH stamp has changed.

Of course, you can always count however you please ... but the principle
is ... you've solved a problem, you've found a new place, and have
collected a new image (at least that's my principle, which I based the
faq on). In most cases, tho, opinion seems to have run along these
lines, more or less.

(Of course, there are interesting wrinkles this simple rule can't cover,
yours to discover :-))
