Oldest Boxes Not Yet Found Within a Geographic Area

Is there a way to search for boxes to discover the oldest boxes not yet found within a geographic area?

I found a way to sort by oldest plant date, but it doesn't filter out those that are not found, yet. I'd like to see what boxes are still to be discovered. I have several boxes now that are several years old, and nobody has reported finding them, so I'm curious to see how many other old boxes are still hidden out there.

Thanks!

Premium searches on the Advanced Search page has the option to look for unfound boxes.

Alternatively, you could always sort by "Last Found Date". Unfound boxes should sort to the bottom of the list. It might be easier to pick through those and see which ones are the oldest.

Yep. I just saw that checkbox! Didn't see it before - must be a blind skunk. Thanks!

Hey Skunkman. Of course, that will only show you the oldest boxes listed on AQ.

When you say, " nobody has reported finding them" i'm assuming you think everyone logs into AQ and reports their finds. Alas some boxers don't. Suggest you actually go to the box and see if anyone signed the logbook. i thought no one had found my boxes and when i did maintenance on them found a whole bunch of people had!
