The spelling and count look good. However, the center text ring of the coin states "50 countries with the most geocaches." Although listed under Country on the Geocaching hide and seek page, Hong Kong is not an independent country.

I just spoke with Verizon. Apparently geocaching.com and Groundspeak.com landed on their list of spamming domains. I also completed the White List Request form to have these released. I was told that it should be taken care of within 24 hours. We'll see.

Thank you for all of your help. I've learned a lot from reading the replies and the various related links. I have looked for only a few benchmarks. I'll have to review them. Deo

I'm fairly new at location benchmarks. I've looked around and found some information but am still not sure about what these are. I was looking for benchmark JU2993. I found this: which apparently is a reference mark for the Batsto benchmark. As far as I can tell, this doesn't have its own PID number. From what I have read, a reference mark is a mark that is a specific distance from the actual station (in this case about 50 feet) and used to locate or reset the actual station. Is this correct? And does the arrow indicate the direction of the station? There is (or was) an azimuth mark also. What additional information does an azimuth mark provide that is dirrenent that the reference mark? Thanks for your help.

If you don't care about the tracking feature, you can also get benchmark paperweights from a few web sites such as http://www.mountainclimb.com/
