Letterboxing (hobby) - Find Counts

Find Counts

A letterboxer's find count or PFX count is organized as follows:

• The P ("plants") count is the number of boxes the letterboxer has made and placed.
• The F ("finds") count is the number of boxes the letterboxer has found in the wild.
• The X ("exchanges") count is the number of exchanges the letterboxer has.

Some boxers list individual types of boxes in their PFX counts (e.g.: P12 F76 X45 E4 HH21 V4 would mean 12 plants, 76 finds, 45 exchanges, four events or event stamps, 21 hitchhikers, and four virtuals). Some include virtuals, hitchhikers, and other non-traditional boxes in a single find count, while some exclude them. Many letterboxers do not bother to keep count at all.

The "PFX count" is not a term associated with Dartmoor Letterboxing.
