54 currently but a few more than that as "First Day Finds" and not the "First to Find".

A Question to those in the know.

What is the criteria for a cache to be counted as a "First Day Find" not a "First to Find"

1. Found on the same date it is published?

OR

2. Found within 24 hours of it being published?

A first day find is a find on the first day of it being found :-)

e.g. It's published today. No-one finds it for 5 days. On the 6th day, 3 people head out and find it. All 3 are considered "first day finders" as you all found it on the day it was first found.

We have a little over 60 FTF's. We seem to have backed off a bit since we moved up to Newie.

Click on the cache link you want to mark as being FTF
Click "First to Find" under action on the right side column.

In future you can automate this by putting *FTF* in your log when you log a GC cache.
Thanks, I didn't know this even existed. By the way, nil FTF for me so far.
