+Eclectic Penguin Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm new to scavenger hunts so please bear with me if this has been addressed. I have created a scavenger hunt which happens to have some waymarks I've already logged as discovered. However the listing for the scavenger hunt lists me as having 0 finds for that scavenger hunt. Do I have to re-find all the items I've already found? If so, won't this annoy the owners of each waymark who have to re-approve every re-find? Or am I missing something obvoious?

Previous finds don't count on scavenger hunts, so yes, if you want to complete that scavenger hunt you will need to PHYSICALLY visit the waymark again. You do, however, have the option of excluding waymarks you've already visited when you create the hunt. I wouldn't worry about annoying the other waymarker-IF you physically visit the waymark again, and IF you comply with the visiting requirements, your log will be valid. Quote Link to comment
+Eclectic Penguin Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 It makes sense - this prevents someone who has found many of the waymarks previously from getting an advantage in a new scavange hunt.

+saopaulo1 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 You have to archive the first, because I dont think you can visit more than once. Quote Link to comment

Most of us don't, but technically you can. I saw this quite often when scavenger hunts first appeared. Quote Link to comment
+BruceS Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) You can visit more than once and it will be recorded as a visit. You can not post two visits to the same waymark on the same day. The second visit not add to your visit count on your profile. Edited December 9, 2012 by BruceS Quote Link to comment
