I'm a newbie, need help.

Hi! I just starting geocaching and I have "found" 2 caches and logged them. But when I look at my profile it says 0 finds. How do I get it to update with the correct info?

 

Thanks!

 

Make sure that when you log them you select 'Found It'. Maybe you by accident had 'Write note' selected when you entered the logs?

Thanks... I actually did do that. In my profile it lists the ones that I found (it says "retrieved") so I think I did it right. After I retrieved them I dropped one so I shows the one I am still holding. It just doesn't show my finds after my username like it does on other names I see.

Also if you did select 'Found It' and you typed in your log make sure you go to the bottom of the page and click "Submit Log Entry"

Actually, what you have retrieved are two travelbugs. Is that what you intended to log? I also nticed the you do not have any caches logged. Did you indeed find two travelbugs or could it be that you by misstake logged the bugs instead?

Ok, now I am confused. I actually have retrieved 3 not two after all. My first find was a travelbug (Big Ben) which I logged and then dropped at another cache. At the second cache I dropped Big Ben and took a geocoin which I logged and I now am holding. Then I also picked up a travelbug (heart) which I picked up from it's starting location so I forgot about it. So now I'm holding a geocoin and the heart. Did I log them incorrectly?

Not necessarily, it could be that you have just not managed to log the caches. Since you did find bugs you must also have found the caches. To tell what has really been going on and if you have made a ‘bug mistake’ you need to get those caches logged. In fact, after looking again on your bug logs it looks like you may have those ok but you definitely should get the caches logged right.
