newbie: state of mind or statistical reality?

[Bronnie_1990]

How about has more finds than the person that introduces them to caching???

Haha, the guy who introduced me to caching has 6 finds!
Wait, 9 finds!

Heh..

Anyone who started caching after me is a newbie in my mind.

We have lots of newbies with 1000+ finds nowadays

So I know a newbie with 10,000 finds?

You passed me a long long time ago (in the first month we cached! )......still I'm happy with having found caches in all of the last 86 months except 2*. It might have been only a few in a month, or even a single find for some of those months.

Newbie? Old Timer? Part timer? Don't care as long as I'm still considered a Cacher.

Another GCA feature that I didn't know existed...

If you have some genealogy you can add it here http://geocaching.com.au/my/genealogy/ and you get get to that from your cache settings page.

I see that and have done so. Now who have I told about this wonderful word of caching...

That's only 13 finds a day since geocaching first began. That's EVERY day.

Would have struggled to keep up that find rate in the first few years!
(It's a team collecting stats isn't it?)

ALAMOGUL = ALAMO (CA) & MOGUL (NV)
Two individuals who don't appear to cache together.
Still an impressive number.

@Chillibutts having seen some of your impressive hides I don't think you qualify as newbie any more. Sorry.
