I'm new to this (chatty) group, having only found it a couple of weeks ago,
and this ethical question is amusing.
DNF's should be left intact. Subsequent successes should be logged but
previous DNFs should remain.
I log all DNFs as they occur. If I find the right spot but encounter a
specific problem (lost or destroyed cache, no log book, missing identifiers,
etc.) that prevents me from claiming a find, I will just post a note in this case
wait for a response.
Several weeks ago I found a spot and I found the piece of wood that was
supposed to direct me to the second stage. The writing on the wood was
washed-out, so this was not really a DNF. I posted a note and the owner has not
responded, so I haven't returned either.

I think you handled that just fine. What I have seen a lot of people do is
completely wipe out their DNF or Note log and replace it with the find one
once they did find it. I think that both logs should stay in place.
