Stats and GPX file with logs by van der Decken
The content on these pages began as an effort to extract the logs from the
Brass Cap Cache page, classify them by cap and cacher, and then add them to
PDOP's Brass Cap Cache GPX file. Once that had been accomplished, it seemed a
shame not to look at what else the data could tell us. And so the statistics
pages were created.
Thanks to rustywa's continued generosity, the Brass Cap Stats pages still have a home! But please do not email rustywa about the brass cap stats. He's just providing a home for the stats pages, nothing more.

Although GS has turned off the option to log multiple "Found it"s on caches, and archived and locked the original GC43F3 Brass Cap cache page, you will still be able to keep track of your brass cap finds here. Log your find on the Brass Cap Cache - A Memorial Puzzle cache. Instead of a "Found it" log, use a "Write note" and include one of the following strings somewhere in your log: {*FOUND*}, {FOUND}, (FOUND), or [FOUND]. The weekly update job will detect this and count your log as a rather than a .
For BCPs that have their own GCcode (like BCP795 - outforthehunt's Cap and BCP792 - An ASCM Virtual Cache), logging a find as usual for that cache is sufficient for it to "automagically" show up in the BCP stats. There's no need to log a separate note on the Memorial Puzzle page.
To see an example of how this works, look at my log for BCP623. On the GC site, it shows as a , but here on the BCP623 stats page it shows as a . It also shows as a in the GPX files and in all the statistics.
Please demonstrate that you have actually been to the cap location
somehow. That can be pictures in your log (with any cap numbers obscured),
or by sending the cap numbers to me either as text or as a picture of the
unobscured cap.
