Now if I go hunt and find this replacement, is that a legitimate find? Asking seriously.
I was doing a 50 cache series and reported that I could not find a cache and described the location in detail to the owner and that I could see his mounting place (wire tie) but no film canister. He requested I take a find as to him it was obvious I was in the right place. However on the same trip I got to the last cache and some workers were hanging out on top of the cache. I was disappointed but I would have never considered taking a find because I didn't find it and sign the log.
