+dbrents Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 I am trying to solve a Mystery Cache that requires I find a cache whose owner's handle matches each letter of the alphabet. So I need to find 26 caches. To date I have a cache for 25 of the letters but still need to find one whose cache owner's name begins with an 'X'. Is there a way to filter caches by owner name so I can find one with beginning with a X (and one that is near where I live)? Thank you in advance. Quote
+niraD Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 I don't think there's a way to search for nearby cache owners by the letter their handles begin with. You might try viewing the bookmark lists of others who have found the challenge cache, to see what caches (cache owners) they used for X. 2 Quote
+captnemo Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 run a pocket Query of the closest 1000 caches. Download it into GSAK and sort the results by cache owner check under the Xs or filter it by placed by contains X. 1 Quote

This is the way I have always done it. Look at the caches others have used. Many of them will be in the same area as the challenge cache. Quote
+Team OPJim Posted February 7 Posted February 7 I have the same question. In this case, I need a cache hidden by an owner that starts with the number eight and with the number nine. I’ve tried the look at logs of previous Finder trick, but this particular cash seems to be found predominantly by people coming in from other states, and it doesn’t help me if their answer was three states away. Any suggestions? Quote
