I would like to translte the phrase "I Came, I found, I left" into
latin in the form of the famous "veni vidi vici".  If "I found" is
difficult to translate then something along the line of "I discovered"
would be fine.

For context, the phrase will be used as a Geocaching motto (Geocaching
is a treasure hunt game using GPS's)

Hello.

I'd go with:

"Veni, inveni, discessi."


sources:
'Veni Inveni Reveni...  
...The title of this piece translates into "I came; I found; I returned,"'

""Veni, vidi, amicos inveni" [I came, I saw, I found friends] is a
motto for the Baltic Sea Youth Festival"

"discedo, discedere, discessi  	- I leave, depart"

"discedo 	-ere 	discessi	discessum	go away, depart"

search strategy:
My own knowledge of Latin, plus variou searches;
"veni inveni" "i came  i found"
discedo discessi, leave depart

I hope this helps.
