Learn from my mistake! I made an LTC called Sunflower. I later decided to plant it and also named it Sunflower. Original, huh? Guess what the carve is? ;) Anyway, now when I get find notices, I automatically assume the finds are for the traditional box because I haven't sent any of the LTCs out recently. However, There are only 14 logs on the LTC and I've sent out more than that, so the found box reports I get could be people logging a stack of LTCs. Obviously, the find report says what kind of box was found, but I sometimes forget to look.

Later, I made another LTC named On the River and wanted to plant the stamp as a traditional. I learned from my mistake and named the traditional something else, which actually hasn't yet been found. When it finally gets found, it will be such a joy to know it has finally been found! I'm glad I didn't name it the same thing as the LTC so when I get LTC find reports, I don't get my hopes up that my traditional has been found yet.

Long story short, name the HH something different than what you named the quisp. Even if you add "HH" after the name, it will help.
