Number of Finds

From: Michelle Cleveland (ogoshi63@yahoo.com) | Date: 2007-09-12 13:15:30 UTC-07:00
How are number of finds counted? Is it by the box or in the case of a series they all count as one find? I appreciate the help.

Typically each box in a series counts as it's own find. Though some
would argue that a series with only one logbook should only count as
one find since by definition a box must have a stamp and a logbook to
be considered a letterbox. It's all up to you. Some are very stringent
about their counts and some of us couldn't care less. You go ahead and
do what makes you happy and nobody should criticize or judge you for it.

Now, THAT'S a dirty trick!!! Did they rename it too? Guess you
could count it under it's new name, then put it back where you had
it, or retire it...

How do you count after you find your own box? Especially if someone
has changed the clues and location between the time you placed it
and the time you found it?

However you want. It is up to you. Don't worry so much about it and
just enjoy finding boxes.

If someone would post the clues to a certain box you would be able to
find out.

Randy, LOL!

"A box can be counted as Found more than once if the preceding apply,
and its clue, location, and stamp image have all changed since Found
the first time."

"Are There any Rules?
The old clich is that the only rule is that there are no rules. That
is true for the art of letterboxing in many senses, although there is
some common sense etiquette..."

Do as you see fit. :D
Your milage may vary. :p
