Why don't my # of finds match?

Post by BG2015 »

I am wondering why my number of finds in Goecaching don't match my number of finds shown in LCP stats? I have taken out Lab Caches and archived caches and I am still about 67 finds short. What am I missing?

My guess is that you have found caches outside of the LonelyCache territory. There are some other reasons a find may not be counted also, such as duplicate finds or finds with an owned cache. See LonelyCache Scoring Basics for more detail. Thanks for asking!

ARRGGHH! I totally spaced that one out. Yes, LonelyCache doesn't cover New York, Michigan, and all those other eastern and midwest states where I have found caches. Thanks for the reminder.
