+doktorfunk Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hi, Is there any way to find archived caches that you haven't already got a personal pointer (watchlist, log entry) for, either in pocket queries, searches, or on the map? There's a "blank area" I'm thinking of putting some caches in, but I'd like to see if there's any history of archived caches in it, in case there have been problems with vandalism. Thanks.

+cheech gang Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Short answer is no. You may try contacting the reviewer to see if there were any past issues with the area. Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Good question. I believe there's a way to search for archived listings on project gc but I've never used it. Quote Link to comment
+Cachez Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 You can use Map Compare on Project GC to show archived caches. Quote Link to comment
+Wildcat314159 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think it is possible, but tough. So, basically, no. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have all archive Belgian caches in a database. Years ago I downloaded a GPX with archived caches and I kept it up2date since then. Has come in handy a few times solving mysteries where coordinates for archived caches was needed. Quote Link to comment

+hzoi Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Short answer is no. You may try contacting the reviewer to see if there were any past issues with the area. I think it is possible, but tough. So, basically, no. I'm sure both of you meant well, but the short or basic answer is actually yes. It's easy to find archived caches on project-gc.com using the map compare tool. Edited September 12, 2016 by hzoi Quote Link to comment

+Cachez Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've found Project GC a bit crash-prone recently, but you CAN see archived caches using Map Compare, I assure you! I've done it many times. Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yes, it works: Hans Quote Link to comment

I've done it many times. That's very useful, and there aren't any archived spots in the park I'm interested in. Thanks, everybody. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yes, it is a handy tool to see whether the spot one is eyeing for a new cache has been problematic in the past. Quote Link to comment
