What's the group's consensus on counting finds for a box which keeps
its name and location, but periodically changes its stamp? The box I
refer to specifically is the Good Eats Letterbox:
http://www.letterboxing.org/BoxView.asp?boxnum=6197&boxname=Good_Eats
Per the placer, the box's stamp will be changed every 3 months or so.
Even though the box has a new stamp, I say that because it stays in
the same location and retains the same name, it counts as a find only
once.
Your thoughts? We'll be hunting this box soon, and are contemplating
whether to make return trips to it at a later date.

Scott -
My understanding is to count as a new find, both clues/location and stamp must change. If the location remains the same, I would not count it. But that's only my humble opinion. I'm sure other, more knowing than I, will chime in.
Have fun and just get out there & box!!!

That leads me to another question -
How would you count a series of microboxes all in one park, but only
the final one contains the logbook? So let's say there are 5 boxes
all of which have their own set of clues, and the first four have
stamps only, while the fifth has the logbook. One find or five?

For the Good Eats box, I would count it as one find but would probably make
subsequent trips to collect the stamps--I enjoy the stamps as much as the
hunt.
For the series of microboxes, those would count as separate finds.
clues+ box+ stamp= find

Not counting it as a find is what I always thought too, but not long
ago I re-read the LbNA FAQ's and started thinking about the part that
says quote:
"...imprinted (or attempted) in the logbook or other part of the box.".
Why can't someone put their personal stamp's impression on the
container when there is no log? According to the LbNA FAQ this
qualifies, thus the impression exchange has been made (w/o logbook)
and the boxer is able to count the find.
Cheers,

hmmmm... My first find was a baggie with a stamp and
everyone who had found it before me just added a page
from their logbook with their stamp on it. So I added
my stamp to the pile, Does that count?
