I strongly think NO ,you can't claim your own treasure as a find,since you are the one who PLACED, the treasure, and by adding it to your total cache find list, now has become more artificially increased, then when you reach mile stone levels ,can you really look back and pat yourself on the back, and admire your accomplishments,when deep down ,their just artificially increased. i too could add all my treasures to my current total and easily put myself past the 400 mark, who would i be cheating but myself.., your either a hider or seeker ,but the one cache can not be the same for that person. but it all comes down to the original cacher on how he wants to play this game for himself,thats why geocaching.com always gives you a choice to write as a note,dnf or found, geocaching.com cannot be the cache police for the whole country,i guess it all comes to ones conscious.,thats our viewpoint.

What about those times when you start to get logs that your cache has gone missing, and you go to check on it, only to find after a half hours searching that a cacher or creature has re-hidden your cache in a new location? Surely all that effort should count as a find :,)
