Hey Mitch, thanks for the time and effort on verifying this mark. I'll have to do some work to see how far off my mark was as compared to yours. Thanks again Joe

Yes the Google map location looks to be where my son was climbing on the rocks. I am guessing that I didn't let my GPS collect a strong enough signal befor marking the location so this may account for some error in my mark. hopefully someone can revisit the area and find the BM and post their coordinates. I'm new to BM hunting and I thought it was cool to find one from 1928. As for the photo, its almost exactly the same as the photo I took. Thanks for all the replies and help. Hi Joe, How about sending me an e-mail with ALL the info that you have. (including Dave D's notes) Hate to waste a 120 mile round trip if I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. ~ Mitch ~

Mitch, the location is 38 37.498 and 078 20.392, the marker is on top of a set of large rocks in what I remember as Jewell Hollow overlook (West side of the Skyline drive) Joe

Sorry, my location listed is way off of the original listed location. I was wondering if somebody could go to my listed location and verify my numbers. If in fact its at my location, then the original listing may have been wrong. I am not sure of the accuracy of my GPS at the time of my marking. Again my location was marked at 38 37.498 and 078 20.392 . AUJOLI

I would like to ask a favor of a fellow benchmark hunter. As I reported a while back, I found a marker (from 1928) in the Shenandoah National park and from my photo and description Dave Doyle was able to find some old records that show it as lost or reported missing sometime back. I would like to see if someone could go to 38 37.498 and 078 20.392 to see if they can find and verify the location. As I remember it was just off of the Jewell Hollow Overlook parking lot to the south west and it was on top of a set of big rocks. It wasn't far from the parking area and it looked like lots of people walk around and over the rocks by the looks of the paths around the area. Let me know if you can help. AUJOLI Melbourne, FL

Dave, did you find out anything about this marker? I sent a little more information to your e-mail address including the number, GPS location, name of the overlook where it was found... Keep me informed. Joe (AUJOLI)

We were in Shenandoah National park and I found a marker in a boulder with what appears to be TT STA NO 15 D elevation 3335 it has a triangle in the center and US Geological Survey stamped around the edges. I would like to find more information and "claim a find". Can anybody help me with this. any help would be greatly appreciated AUJOLI
