No, I think I know what happened to yours. The series up in Cleveland TN at Red Clay State Park ( here ) got straightened out so that each pair of carves only count as one find, instead of 2 (since originally each stamp was listed as a separate box). I knew immediately what had happened in my logbook, and I'll bet it happened in yours. I "lost" 12 and my new ribbon (pout). Oh, well--I've known for quite a while that my counts were off because of that series, but the way the stamps were originally listed didn't allow me to fix it.

That's definitely it for anyone who recorded finds on all the stamps. Typically if you see your numbers drop by a few, it's because of stuff like this.

Losing finds over a two year period, though.... there's something else at work!

Ooooooooh! I forgot all about that series being wonky. Was it double-sided stamps or two in each box? Remind me again? (Message me?) And I'll pass the info along to my hubby!

They were double-sided stamps, but even if there were two separate stamps, it's boxes that should be counted--not the number of stamps.

my new ribbon

So did I. Now, with yesterdays recording, I'm back to 599 again (sad face here).

Well, you obviously need to rush out and find another box. You can't stand on any number ending in 99!

By any chance were you logging through box radar? For a whole Minh my finds weren't showing up on AQ, I just had to re-sync my app.
