# CUCC Expo Prospecting Handbook: Minimally marked new finds

## CUCC Expo Prospecting Handbook

# Marked and noted, but unnumbered, caves

This is a list (and almost certainly a very incomplete one) of caves which have been found and noted in log books etc., but have either been marked only with a "+" (or a "-") or not at all. Often this is because it was assumed that the cave was too insignificant for a number, was never returned to, or was thought to be being explored by someone else. Some of the caves included here may turn out to be the same caves as "known" and numbered caves which were never numbered in paint. Those with bolts are clearly most likely to be in this category.

The aim is to refind and document all these caves. This will most often happen when looking for new caves, and the point of this page is to make it easier to identify these previously noted caves so we know that they have been refound. In all cases, they should be given a CUCC number when refound, then the relevant entry moved from this table to the "Marked" one. Any more caves found which look promising should be numbered at once and be recorded in the survey book and also in the "Marked" table. We should not be adding any new caves to this table in future!

In the "ref." column of this table is a reference to the document (on paper or on the website) where the find was noted. For logbooks, this should include a link to the relevant page. For survey books, a reference like "survey 1992 p 21" means page 21 of the 1992 survey book. For recent years, there have been separate survey books for Kaninchenhöhle and for everything else. The latter are relevant here and are referred to as, for example "not KH 1996 p 5", meaning page 5 of the not-Kaninchenhöhle survey book for 1996. Most of the contents of the survey books ends up in Survex files, and is not included on the website.
