+imnotpaul Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Stupid question. I see a lot of FTF and some people seem to make it their mission to find new caches. Is it just that they have found all the caches in their particular area and pay attention to the map for new caches to appear or am I missing a filter on the search map? I think it was the former but wanted to just get some input. Quote Link to comment

You'll get an email when a new cache is published so you can dorp everything and rush out the door immediately. Quote Link to comment

You can also search by sorting by last date found (blank for new caches) under the classic search option. More cumbersome, but it got me my first FTF. Quote Link to comment

Anything more than 15 minutes after publishing and you're too late. I don't care for FTF's, even got a few caches a few 100m from here I still haven't gone after months after publishing (even passed them often). Quote Link to comment

I have looked at the geocaching website and I don't see an option even on the app. Quote Link to comment
