Converting DNF to found

[FFloss]

Having found two caches today that I had previously DNF'ed, I wondered how many other caches I had converted from a DNF to a find.
I counted around 35,of 139 DNFs, and by far the majority of these were in my first couple of years of caching.
How about you?

there is a challenge cache that you can find if you ave converted your dnfs to finds..... will have a hunt for it .

Found it..Try, Try Again- Challenge cache

Interesting - bit far just for a cache though

just checked using the GSAK macro on the challenge cache
and i Have 137 Dnfs that i have since found out of 577 logged DNFs

and as i have found 5029 caches that means i log a DNF every 10 caches........ ineptness maybe

Couldn't resist checking this out myself with the macro and my figures are not too far from yours. I have 132 DNF's that I have since found out of 364 logged DNF's. I've only found 3974 so I log a DNF around every 12 caches - somehow it feels a lot more.

I would be interested to know how many times I have been the first or only person to DNF a cache as I seem to have particular difficulty with ones other people find easy.
