Caches missing from PQ's?

Since I have been using a filter in GSAK to find archived caches I have realised there are a large number of caches missing from my PQ and from the preview of the PQ.

As my PQ's cover the UK every week I search for any cache who's last GPX date is older than 8 days, meaning its disappeared from the PQ and is therefore archived.

I haven't changed my PQ settings and so at some point these caches were in a PQ or else they would not be in my GSAK database and have a last GPX date.

If I give a few examples could folks check there databases?

I have a PQ for 5th April to 5th May 2005 looking for caches placed. The Rock Pool, GCNDHJ, hasn't been in a PQ since 14/9/2005 and yet is still going strong.

Also a PQ for July 17th to 22nd Aug 2005 hasn't shown Stone Rings Secret Spoiler being updated since 5/9/2005 and again is going strong.

Neither of these caches appears in the previews of the PQ's either. I have 202 such caches in my database.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

My PQ's cover the whole of Ireland - as yours do the UK. I've been using most of them for over a year, and I've never known caches to go "missing" in the way you describe.

On reflection, this probably doesn't help much. Sad

I've asked in UK forum, some clues there.

The Rock Pool does not appear in my (completeish) database, but there again, I don't have any Irish caches in the database in the first place. Have you looked at the country option in your PQ set up?
