Can i log as a FTF

[+The Auclair Family]

I went out after this cach GC10D94 in Feb. but came up empty handed. Shortly their after the owner put in a log saying they think the cache is missing and would check on it soon, then another log saying cache was indeed missing and put a new cache with new cords. Check out the logs, should i have logged this as a FTF or is it just another find? I don't have a problem with changing my log if i am wrong, I was just excited to get my first FTF!!!!

Did you find the actual cache and were you the first to sign the log? If so, you are the first to find.

Yes thats exactly what i did

Being that there are 36 finds before you I can't see you you possibly could be FTF. But you can call yourself whatever you want.

I wouldn't claim FTF if I was the first to sign the log on a replacement cache that had been previously found before being replaced.

 

My view of FTF is that there is only one FTF per GC#. Subsequent replacement caches don't count.

I will sometimes jokingly write something like FTSNL (first to sign new log) or sometimes even sillier things.

I admit it IS fun to get an authentic FTF. I would change your log so that when you get the real thing you can claim without an asterisk.

Congratulations on your 37th To Find.

Ooops, I didn't realize that just the log was new. I thought the cache was new.

 

No FTF on this one.

When I find a new log on an old cache I will put FTS new log. I have found several of these.

I looked at the logs, and no, the FTF is the person who signs the original log first after it was published. You found it after it was missing and replaced. FTF's are fun, though. If you are a premium member, set up a notification to be notified when a cache is "published" within the mile range that you would be willing to travel to get a FTF. Good luck!

If you did not find it first, it is not a FTF. You have experianced what happens from time to time when trying to get FTF on a cache.

I did delete the ftf part of the original log. Just thought i should say this so people are not answering to a dead post. Thanks for all the insight!
