+Breaktrack Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I was going over my published caches, and editing information where necessary, when I noticed that I had 11 still active caches that were now over 20 years old since their original publishing date. 10 are grandfathered virtual caches, and one is still a .50 cal ammo can down on Matagorda beach in Texas, which is getting a new can next month when I go down to do cache maintenance, lol. I still have 16 active caches, but only these were actually over 20 years old. Once I saw that I decided I'd figure out how many visitors all my caches have had over the years, and maybe even how many favorite points they'd garnered, and here are the results: Finds to date - 19,246 Fav points - 2,405 I haven't dug any deeper into the results, or separated them by type of cache, etc, as I'm just too lazy, but I wondered how my numbers compared to others in the game, so I thought I'd put it out there, just for the fun of it.

Shame on me, I love old caches but I've not even found 500 of them. I've got some catching up to do. Quote Link to comment

+Ambrosia Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I looked over the info for all the caches that own/co-own. As of today, we have 14 active caches that are 20 years old or older. One of the trads is a cache I adopted, and is one of the top 10 oldest caches in Washington state. 9 virtuals 4 traditionals 1 multi A total of 14,731 finds. A total of 1,451 favorites. The favorites number isn't going to be as accurate, because people didn't have the favorites feature 20 years ago, and not many people go back and reward favorite points years later. 1 Quote Link to comment

I definitely did not think about the favorites number being off for that reason, interesting! How do you do a search that includes how old a cache is compared to others? I'd like to know how mine stack up in Texas. Mac Quote Link to comment

You can put in the older dates there. That's the best I can think of for now. 1 Quote Link to comment
