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.

Famous quotes containing the words find and/or counts:
“It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“In an aphorism, aptness counts for more than truth.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
