What do you count as a 'find'?
By: Griff Grof Date: January 25, 2015, 12:58 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Was just looking through my stats on Project-GC.
I've got 1780 finds on 1775 unique caches.
[list]
[li]3 of these are YOSMs[/li]
[li]2 of these are caches I've logged as 'found' twice as a
newbie[/li]
[/list]
Now, I don't know whether to delete logs for the two I logged
twice, it's the right thing to do but it'll adjust my milestones
:o
And then there's the Lab cache I found, so my D/T grid thinks
that I've found 1779 :o
Are YOSMs really cache finds?
What do you count as finds and what advice would you give me?
:D

I count any unique find.
YOSM's are OK
Lab caches (whatever they are) are OK
I think your figures are still wrong though, you appear to have
2 YOSM's and 3 duplicate logs. I would correct the duplicates,
but it's obviously entirely up to you

Thanks [member=4]tarmacjohn[/member], how do you know which are
your duplicate logs?
And is there anyway to lock in milestones?

Click on 'Profile' then 'find bad logs', put in you GC name and
click 'Filter', that should bring up the screen below
Under duplicate logs you have 2 finds on the 1st one (YOSM) and
then 3 caches with duplicate logs, click on the GC code to see
which they are

Thank you, it's odd since I have logged the YOSM three times,
just checked again on GC.com and that is the case - why is
Project-GC only showing two?
I'll delete the duplicate logs shortly, although does anyone
know how to lock in my milestone caches before I do so?

Sorry meant to answer that
Click on Statistics, then click on milestones. That should show
what you need.

Thank you! :) will post here with any more questions when if
there are any ;) Will probably delete them in the next few days
Everyone else: what do you count as a 'find'?
Edit - can't see milestones under Statistics?

Griff - your milestones are on the milestone tab. Do you see the
different tabs running along the top?
Don't use Project-gc as it doesn't give the same stats as GSAK
which is odd because it looks great otherwise.
YOSM duplicates - I have just one so keep this as a count, as
they are in different locations like any virtual.
Lab caches - GS still don't know how to deal with these, so
until they are FULLY included in your profile, i.e. are in your
My Finds PQ, which they aren't at the moment, I don't count them
on my stats.

YOSMs count... Unless you're logging Dovers Hill as a find every
time you go there!
Milestones can be 'Locked' from the stats tab.

Project GC will give you an idea of duplicate/double logs, but I
think it takes awhile to update after deleting...
(I wonder if it reads Archived logs?)
Haven't set or found a lab cache, so I don't count 'em! ;)
eta
HTML http://www.yosm.org.uk/cacher_stats.php
has you with 3 found.
(I think P-GC shows 2 logs, as you have the Found log + 2 more?)

Ah, yes, I was looking at the top tabs :D
That's odd - I think GSAK is still PC-only ??? :(
I guess YOSMs are fine, although there's always the argument
that there's not actually a virtual permanently at these
locations - [member=3]walktall[/member], if you had more than
one would you count the duplicate logs too?
Thanks [member=6]Bear and Ragged[/member], the three I have are:
Dovers Hill, Sugar Loaf and Blorenge.
Yes, I think it said it updates on a weekly basis?
What's annoying is that GS count Lab Caches as finds but
Project-GC don't - they should at least recognise it as part of
your count if Geocaching.com do :-\
