I also found a US General Land Office Survey 1933 disk - this one was in the desert near the Las Vegas Speedway. Looking forward to logging this; thanks for the guidance. I'm somewhat new to geocaching, and had not explored way marking. Benchmarking is, by far, the funniest part of caching (for me).

Thanks so much for the information! I have so many benchmark discs/coordinates that I've been unable to identify--many at Hoover Dam and some discs in my local area. One I found in the Las Vegas desert area is "US General Land Office Survey 1933." can't wait to get my notes & photos out to (hopefully) log these in!

Accidental find today in Clark County, NV across the road from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Can't find the coordinates or a description in any data base, so I'm hoping that by posting here, someone might help me identify it. A geocache (GC2BXXH)took me to the site -- the cache looked to be in a "typical" geo-rock pile, but upon arrival, I found the cache hidden within the rocks around the survey mark pipe. The disk is on a pipe approximately 18 inches above ground and reads: "U.S. General Land Office Survey - 1933. Penalty $250 for Removal. 1/4 S 19 S 30" The coordinates (on my iPhone) were N 36.16.562 W 114 58.940 Would love to log this one, but have been unsuccessful in finding a data sheet or other information on line.(Trying to upload photos...)

There are a couple of cache owners in my area who always delete the DNFs from their cache logs. I cache with a few friends - and each of us have (separately) looked high & low for several of an owner's caches. Many were DNF (after exhaustive searches.) However, we are always "politely notified" that our DNF logs have been "deleted." In fact, you won't find ANY DNFs on the logs. The log entries are completely appropriate, and include how much time we spent, if muggles were around, etc. If a cache log has multiple DNFs, wouldn't that encourage the CO to go check out the cache to make sure it's where it should be? It's almost to the point where I don't want to find any of these owners' caches anymore.
