Repeat "finds"

[PurpleBea]

Can I count a cache "find" twice? I want to revisit the Animal Kingdom virtual in Florida. It won't take as long to locate all the animals on the carved tree the second time around. It will be over a year since I last visited. Are there rules about this?

The general "rule" is one find per cache, and log a note on any subsequent visits. But the final say is up to the cache owner.

You can go back and do it again, but your second visit should be logged as a "note" instead of a find.

Why would you want to log a find twice, Geocaching is all about the experience, not the numbers. If you enjoyed the cache then go back to the location, but I would never think about logging a find twice for the numbers. That the wrong way to play the game.

Correct me if I am wrong but I do believe if you try to log it again, it will not change your find count, must be something about cookies for that particular cache page. I have seen that a few times on Locationless caches where someone came along and added another find and their count stayed the same. But I could be wrong.

Yes, each "found it" log will increment your find count

a recent thread posted by a new cacher, led me to see that he had logged "found" twice on one cache, and his stats showed two found. I think he fixed it later
