Had a really great couple of hours on the moors today, went up to Haytor first and found a couple of boxes with soggy books but no stamps and no idea what they were. next wandered over to holwell tor and found some boxes just put back but not covered up and really easy to find. how do we report boxes with no details in them?

As I had posted here a few weeks ago we went to the south of England for a holiday trip and asked about how to find a letterbox as I had read about letterboxing long time ago and was very excited that we would be in the Dartmoor and that I would have the possibility to search for my first letterboxes.
I AM REALLY SORRY TO SAY THAT I WAS DISAPPOINTED!
We made two tours in the moor starting from Tavistock into the moor:
1. around the Sphinx and Vixen
2. around Haytor Rock
We found 7 boxes (there were many many more but we were not motivated to open more...);
Most of them lay very obvious,many books and single paper sheets, nö stamps. I would call them "boxes without love"...);
I HAD HOPED FOR MORE! );
And now I know the existance of the distance-rule in Geocaching is very very very useful!!!
We found only two boxes that were OK - one near Pew Tor near a little lake and another one near Haytor Rock that is a letterbox-cache combo.
Maybe somebody can tell me that there are more good ones out there in the moor, so I can approach some REALLY GOOD ONES the next time we'll be there! I feel very sad about my experience because I had hoped for more- I THINK THE FACT ABOUT STAMPING IS SO GREAT ... and seeking "treasures" is the best thing I can imagine!
But for now I am happy that I can go out Geocaching...
