caseyb Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Although I suspect many of you already do this, I want to put this out there. If/when you submit recoveries to NGS please use the official Geocaching "agency code" of GEOCAC. By doing this, I am able to track the number of recoveries submitted by the geocaching community. If you do this, AND include your initials, I might be able to actually say how many marks were recovered by so and so. This would be helpful to me. And by the way, I do have some stats you might be interested in: Here are the amount of recoveries received by NGS from people who used the GEOCAC agency code. January 2005: 549 December 2004: 415 November 2004: 281 October 2004: 143 Keep up the trend! -Casey- Quote Link to comment

How many of those geocaching recoveries were "Recovered as described" and how many had additional information? Quote Link to comment
caseyb Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 I am sorry, but I dont have that information. -Casey- Quote Link to comment
mloser Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I looked at my stats in Geocaching and discovered that last October I posted about 65 recoveries to Geocaching. Following my normal practice of reporting all my recoveries to NGS, other than those that have recent recoveries, I estimate that about 50 of last October's 143 GEOCAC recoveries might be mine. I am sure I am not alone in my desire to see a list of GEOCAC initials with their NGS recoveries. Just like Rogbarn, I love statistics, especially if I am making a noticable difference in them! Black Dog posted something similar in a different thread here. Can that be done Casey? Perhaps a monthly list of all GEOCAC recoveries with initials. Be sure to back date it for Rogbarn, who will number crunch it and give us all a graph of our performance(s)! Quote Link to comment
+sf_troop Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Was lurking around and found this thread. You can add 2 more posts for Jan 05 making the total 551. When I saw this I realized I had not sent a couple I found to NGS. Sent in recoveries for these two today:KK1922 and HK0510. The first one has not had any recoveries in 101 yrs and the second has been almost 23 years. Just thought you statisticians would like to know! Quote Link to comment
+BuckBrooke Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I've posted a number of back NOT FOUNDs as well. However, it depends on how updated we want to make the list, and how much work it will be to maintain the list. Quote Link to comment
+California Bear Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I noticed while submitting a recovery today that GEOCAC now has a radio button like US Power Squad. That should make it easier to enter than before (not that typing GEOCAC in the box was really hard. ) Quote Link to comment
+ddnutzy Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Previously I've been submitting my BM finds to the NGS as an INDIV but today I started using geocac. I just finished posting 63 of my older bm finds. I'll try to get the rest of them submitted before the end of the month. Dave (DKA) Quote Link to comment
+ddnutzy Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) I just finished submitting the last 51 of my older bm finds to the NGS as geocac. Anything that I log in from now on will be up to date. (DKA) Dave Edited March 29, 2005 by ddnutzy Quote Link to comment
