I see your point.
But I think the cache you are rescuing is Archived, and no longer in play. If I haven’t found it previously, I post a smiley with a LTF on the log. (Last To Find) I rescued one today that I found last year, but posted a Note, and the LTF on the log. No smiley; just the Rescue.
If you rescue one that you haven’t found, post the Found It log, and take the smiley and the 10 points. If different, I’m sure our Moderator will correct me!
