oldest cache by cachetype in statistic

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 18:16:23 +0000

Would it be possible to extend the statistics about the oldest found caches so that you could also see the statistics about the oldest cache sorted by cache type? I could imagine the implementation similar to the D/T matrix. Thanks a lot

What is best way to create list of oldest caches in each county within a US state?

I know that Map NSEW/Oldest can give me the oldest cache in a single county. Is there an way to ask that tool to identify the oldest in each of the counties in a US State? I have tried a few tricks but nothing seems to work.

There is a "oldest in virginia counties" list but a bunch of the caches are archived. And I can of course manually use Map NSEW/Oldest 134 times, one for each county. I am just wondering if there is a faster method.

Thanks for a great website! bejs

Oldest/Youngest cache found interpretation

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 23:32:49 +0000

Hi everyone,

This question may sound ridiculous, but it's really bothering me.
In the profile stats, there is a stat called "Youngest cache found" and "Oldest cache found".
I wonder how "youngest" and "oldest" are interpreted here, since I see 2 ways to interpret this and I would like to know which interpretation Project-GC uses.

Oldest could mean :
1) Simply the cache with the earliest hidden date of all caches I have found. Youngest would then mean the cache with the most recent hidden date I have found, so basically the age of the cache until today is taken into account.
2) The cache that was the oldest when I found it. So the highest number of days between the hidden date and the date I found it. This would mean the youngest would in many cases be a FTF, with an age of less than a day when found.

Kind regards,
AxelFox.

How to search for the oldest already archived caches?

Is it true that the first webcam cache was published on October 11, 2001 (GC21DF) or was there some other one before that?

Could it be possible to add a date range field into the search form?

Thanks in advance

Is there a way to exclude Virtual caches from a NewS/Oldest cache search?

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 01:26:06 +0000

I am trying to find the oldest "physical" cache in each county in Wisconsin. I have not found a way to exclude Virtual caches from that search. I would like to find a way besides filtering each type of cache and manually determining the oldest cache.
