+BKip Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Reviewing my STATISTICS page, I just noted the statement, "...found 4507 caches (4506 distinct)..." This indicates to me that somewhere along the line that I double logged a cache. Is there a way to query the data to find and delete the stray log? Quote Link to comment
+pppingme Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If you use GSAK, there are a couple ways to do it. The easiest is to make sure the found count column is on (tools, options, display tab), and sort by that and scroll to the bottom of the list. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If you get the program GSAK it can find it for you. You'll need to run a few PQs of just your found caches so it can sort through them all for you. Looks like it will use up your 5 PQs for a day to do it. Quote Link to comment

Or just run a myfinds pq, which will grab all of them, and doesn't even count against your daily pq limit. Quote Link to comment

+hzoi Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 There is. You're a premium member, you can go to your pocket query page and get the "my finds" pocket query (button at the bottom of the page). Then download GSAK, the Geocaching Swiss Army Knife, and load your pocket query into GSAK. Then go into the filters menu and select all the caches that have more than 1 find. That'll be it. That's the quick and dirty instructions, but if you do a forum search here or at gsak.net I'm sure you'll get a more detailed walkthrough. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Forgot the my finds didn't count against you. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Derp. Zero replies when I opened the thread. Ah, well, better too many correct replies than none. Quote Link to comment
+BKip Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 I do in fact use GSAK and will give it a go. Thanks to all for their response(s)! Quote Link to comment
+BKip Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 As suggested, using GSAK, I found and deleted the stray log. GC.com hasn't reflected the change yet but I feel it's good-to-go and the numbers should match up. Out of curiosity, I checked out some profiles on the Worldwide Index and found that there are plenty of folks with double logging goofs. Ah, I can rest easy now... thanks again. Quote Link to comment

They aren't all mistakes. In some areas it is accepted practice to log multiple "attended" logs on an event, for example. And I think with the old traveling caches and locationless caches it was acceptable to log them more than once. Quote Link to comment
+WarNinjas Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 For some reason my phone sometimes logs them twice. I have to check my quick view often to delete the double one. I think it is mostly when I log it and it says it couldn't upload for what ever reason I hit save and then it does a double log. I have noticed it a few times. -WarNinjas Quote Link to comment
+Cableguy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Easy to do now that I've found Cachestats. http://www.logicweave.com/cachestats.html Under the "Caches" tab, choose "Show" + "Caches with multiple finds". You'll be able to modify or delete right from that page. Quote Link to comment

Also some challenge caches allow you to find them multiple times if you meet the challenge requirements multiple times. Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Bkip Oh My I miss you. Wish you were back here creating those clever caches. Hope the guys helped you. Yes GSAK is how I check but heard there is one or more others. I believe one was on a site that is now down. Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 And totally fooled by this one. Darn. Quote Link to comment
