Where I find me some of this wisdom stuff?

Stick around long enough and some of the "longer term" boxers will (literally) harass it into you!

Thank you. This is helpful. It helps me to have realistic expectations.

Found box, planted in 2006, last found 2007, fourth finder and listed on AQ (Box #299017). Seems Ms Duc forgot to list it here, is there a patch for that?

One thing I'd like to add.
I'd rather have a low find rate than a box with such a high find rate that _anyone_ might accidentally find it.
I don't plant in places that scream out for a box.
I'll use that place as a jump off point to a more obscure planting location.

You listed the AQ#. How can you say Oaxaca, Oaxaca isn't listed here?

Because I just listed it with Rubaduc’s blessing yesterday with the plant date of 2006.

I am curious to know if you have gone by the LBs to check if no one has been to find them? I have done some box maintenance to check if my boxes were still around (i.e. after a severe weather event). When I look in the logbook, I have found some notes and stamps from folks that didn’t log the LB find online (AQ or LBNA).

Bumping this thread because I got an answer to this question. The boxes in question were a series of 3. Just got a message from the first finders of the second 2. They report the first one had been found back in April! No online log yet...

would you put in a note saying you checked on the LB?

I like to check on my boxes at least annually if I live close enough. I like to make sure the box has been properly reclosed and sealed before any winter moisture gets in and freezes. There is a Maintenence Report icon at the top of the box's listing on your own boxes.
