Is there a way of identifying caches that were originally 'not chosen' in size but have been amended to 'other' - I am aware the change is a system generated one when the cache page has any amendments since they removed the 'not chosen' size
I ask as I had qualified for a challenge some time ago where you had to find all 7 sizes - I find myself going near that challenge cache location so plan to seek it out  -  however on re-doing the checker to my surprise I discovered it now says 'no' and lists the nearest to getting that criteria which is 6 sizes and is not the same list as before.  
I can't search for the original list as I cant identify the cache that was the 'not chosen'

So is there a way of doing this ?

For info - I did do a big manual trawl of my finds yesterday trying to identify days where I have found 3 specific sizes to try and identify the specific day where I could have found all 7 and that did give me a few possibilities - initially I didn't get what I wanted - then realised I had chosen the wrong way of searching - tried again with different sizes and did manage to identify the day I had found all 7 and also the cahce which is now showing as 'other' but was originally 'not chosen'

Still interested to know if there is a way of identifying those that were but aren't any longer

I too have heard that Not Chosens are being replaced by Others. I own that challenge you are talking about and I will be keeping an eye on it. If the Not Chosens get to low I modify the challenge to merge Not Chosens with Others.
Hi - I wasn't aware of your challenge, as the one I was referring to is in the UK - though will look at yours too now in case I had previously checked it

There's a way to do it for the caches you've found, but not for any caches. The way to do it would be to use the size history tool.
