After a reported did not find, NattyBooshka checked it out for us as they were in the area and found that the first cache we placed (Fairly Tame) is missing in action. It was well stocked with an "official" log book and a waterproof disposable camera etc. Something we'd spent a lot of time (and a bit of money) creating. It's sad to see this happen, but we both accept the fact that it's part of the game.

The cache was in such a nice location that we will replace it with another in the same park at some point.

My question, and main reason for posting, is....

Is it acceptable to archive this cache and place a new one nearby as a new cache (to give those who have already been a chance to revisit)? Or is it standard practice to place a new cache under the same entry as a continuance of the one that went missing.
