Hello Fellow Letterboxes,
My nephew and I just completed a day of letterboxing on Cape Cod and we were
wondering if each box in a series (such as the 7 beautifully carved stamps
in the Star Wars series in West Barnstable) is considered a separate
letterbox find. Each stamp had their own clues but they were all typed together on
the Star Wars series sheet that we downloaded from the Letterboxing Website.
This is our first series that we have done and don't know how to include it
in our total count of LB's found. Please advise. Thank you.....GlobeBear
and young nephew Kanos II

A box is considered a find if it has clues, a stamp and a log book, even if the clues were all together on one page with clues for the other boxes in the series. You didn't mention if each box had its own log book or if there was just one book at the end of the series. Although technically it would be only 1 find if there was only 1 log book, some people do count individual finds in that situation because there were individual boxes. You will have to decide that for yourself.

each stamp counts as one find, even if the clues are one one page.
(series usually are)
Most of the time each box has it's own logbook, but recently I have
found a few where only one of the series has a log book, and the others
just have stamps. Some people might not count these, because they don't
have a seperate log, but I do, and the sites do (if you log your find on
the site it will count up 10 stamps for the Save the Smurfs series even
though there is only one box.).
