List of all finds

[+Marilyn@StHelens]

I am trying to check if I qualify for a challenge cache and in order to do this I need to view all my finds back to when I started in 2011. This is not possible any more! The challenge cache was published before there was a way to check if you qualify (projectg-gc) so I need to do it manually. When did it become impossible to check all of your finds and why? I've spent the last couple of hours trying to access a list of all my finds and can't. Help please!

What's the GC#? I might be able to set up a checker for it.

Since you are a Premium Member, you can run an "All My Finds" pocket query.  But as Hugh noted above so helpfully, a Project-GC checker is probably the easiest route unless the challenge criteria are very customized and are not currently permitted.

How does this work, when a pocket query only allows 1,000 finds?

 

(It's so disappointing that we can't see all our early finds. Not long ago I was trying to find the caches I had found on the Chatham Islands and spend ages on GC and failing to manage this. The finds are archived. However fortunately I discovered I can use another source for this, but I shouldn't need to.)

These special PQs allow just what it says- ALL your finds, regardless of how many that is. It's also the only way to see caches you've found that have been retracted.

The first screenshot shows how to run the "My Finds" pocket query - it's at the very bottom of your pocket queries screen.  The second screenshot shows the online preview of the results, beginning with the user's oldest finds.

You can use Project-GC Map compare to just yourself.

 

Problem is it will only display 3000 caches. So you can then split your find using multiple "From/To"

You are not aware of the  the "All Log"-Link? https://www.geocaching.com/my/logs.aspx?s=1

 

Reachable via

Old Dashboard: on top: Geocaches>All Logs

New Dashboard: on left: Geocaches Logs>All Logs

 

I hope this will never go away or - probably worse - being replaced by a crubmbled "new-experience"

Thank you. No I wasn't aware, but getting to over 13,000 caches would be very time consuming.

You mean the build-up of the webpage?

Maybe, but then all (including DNFs and Notes, which are missing in the MyFinds-PQ) are on one searchable (Ctrl-F) page and  you can easily scroll to a certain date (also not possible on the paginated MyFinds-PQ).

I just go to my profile page, select 'Logs' at the left, then choose 'All logs' - that will give you a list all the way to find #1, plus all your other logs you've made.
