Multiple discoveries of the same trackable [closed]

Quick query - if I discovery or pick up the same trackable on more than occasion, does each log count separately towards Badgegen and belt info stats, or is it one per TB no matter how many times I log it? I've just been to an event, and I know I've logged at least one of the TBs there before.

I'm almost certain that it only counts each trackable once. I'm sure I've logged a group of trackables in the past and only had my count go up by a smaller number than how many I logged (because I'd probably found some before)

We agree with sumbloke. We've experienced exactly the same thing. We don't think multiple loggings create more than one score on Badgegen. Which seems fair to us.

If you discover a trackable more than once, the geocaching.com website will not count more than one for the trackable.

Thus, the Bagdegen tool will not know about the duplicate discoveries and will not count them.

Had more than one TB-stamp discovered multiple times and the counter did not go up. That seems fair to me, too.
