Moveables: can you log them more than once?

Post by Albany Canucks » 04 September 10 4:02 pm

Today we found our first moveable cache - yippee!!!

My question is: once we move it to a new location, and someone finds it and moves it again to a second location, may we find it at that second location and again log it as a find, then move it again? Is there any limit to how often we can do this? I can see this being fun to do as a competitive way between two or three cachers, to keep something going!

It depends on what the cache owner says!!

some movables allow 2 finds, some ask you to wait until 3 or 4 people have found it before re-finding it.....
As it's in a different location every time you have no real 'advantage' in finding it above other cachers other than knowing the container type!

I love moveables.

It's my understanding that you can log them as often as you want. I tend to only log them as found once, but that's the beauty of the Moved log. You can log a moved and not a found........ i think!

If you do want to move it more then once (and its allowed by the owner) but dont feel like claiming a second smiley, unless you grab-move-hide in one trip dont forget to post at least a note on the cache page to say you have it so others dont go on the hunt :P
