Is there a way of identifying all previous caches (those now archived) placed in a small area (I'm talking as small as a village) - I am aware you can find those archived ones that you have found, however I am asking about all caches that have been placed and the many (or few) that have been archived.

Regards

I think you'd need to use map compare at county level, and zoom in on the specific village or area you're interested in. You can create a custom filter to show archived caches only.

Playing around with the map compare function - as suggested by Optimist on the Run

Putting my ID in the first box and nothing in the second player box

Then

when I select the 'Found by one player' option in the 'show' box - it shows just caches (active and archived) I have found and no other

and when I select 'Found by both players' - nothing appears, anywhere !

when I select the 'geocaches found by no player' (which seems very specific ) in the show box - resulting in nothing that I didn't know about in the area in question (but does populate with caches further afield (and they are ones I haven't found) - so presumably that means there is nothing more to be listed in that small area I am looking at and I have therefore identified everything that has been placed in that location, ever.

Nice

You can also use multiselect to use all the options at once and get all the caches in the same search.
Ah, @Pleu that's handy thanks
