thanks for all the help guys. seems this one isn't to be found anywhere. the only ones on the sites given that are in the vicinity of this BM aren't of the same type (i.e.: metal rod/pole)

OH, and the type of benchmark too... the triangulation ones i thought had a triangle on the middle... other regular ones seemed to have just a circle.... and with this one having a square, that is why i thought maybe a property one. ok, off to check that other corner(s) i was talking abuot!

Thanks for the responses so far. Yea, this one seems a little weird (maybe rare...) since it doesn't say US COAST & GEODETIC SURVEY or the like on it. m&h - I just thought it may be a property marker, as it's at a distinct corner of the Navy School. jwahl - I don't believe that it is GU2091, as that is near the Defense Language Institute, and this one is just outside the fence of the Naval Postgraduate School (about 1.25 miles apart). If it is, someone needs to really double check their GPS But yea, I recall looking at the list of BMs before, and saw an 'M21' elsewhere, but that was in a city 15 miles away, and at a train station, and didn't appear to have 'Naval Department' on it. BTW, there isn't a map for Bench Marks like there is for the geocaches, is there? That would make this all seem a lot easier. haha

Hello. I'm a casual geocacher (go out every now and then). I just locate the caches, and leave a comments in the books. More recently, I've begun to include hunting down Bench Marks in my bike rides, and hunts. A week ago, I came across one that I did not see in the list of BMs on this site, and found that there is a variety of different BMs. I figure this is one to mark property, as it is at one of the corners of the Naval Postgraduate School (gov't property) here in Monterey, CA. Tomorrow I plan to check another two corners for other like markers... So, is this a property BM? (any more info you can provide would help.) Thanks!
