Hi HD'98',
When you go back to the cache listing, and click on "log your visit", you will be taken to a form allowing you to make a log entry indicating: 'Found it', 'Didn't find it', 'Write note', 'Needs archived', 'Needs maintenance'. In this case, to log the cache you found, you will select 'Found it'. Then enter the date you found it. Under comments, enter some information about your visit, if you traded items, what you thought of the cache, the location, etc. Click 'Submit log entry'.
Your log will be saved on the main page and the owner will recieve an e-mail notifying him/her about your log entry.
As far as, "Is the find verified?" . . . do you mean, is somebody going to check up on you to see if you really found the cache or not, the answer is maybe, maybe not. Everybody plays the game differently.
As you are entering the info in the log, the only info entered will be what you write, so there will be no identifying info entered if you don't give it.
Is that what you had in mind?
Cache On!

Thanks John - that clears things up. We (wife and I) will continue and hope to "put one out" later this year after we've seen several and obtain a better feel for location, stash, access etc.
