+Old Bill Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I've done a search for this mark at (near) coordinates Lat: 29.484548 Lon: -082.566963 Location is Archer, Fla. http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/attachment....ntid=3869&stc=1 (Let me know if the image doesn't work...) There is a clear view of the designation, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone can explain what I'm doing wrong, please let me know so I can figger it out next time. TIA! Quote Link to comment

+BuckBrooke Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) Old Bill, the photo doesn't work for me. Who monumented it? CGS, BLM, Florida DOT...? People have run across stations like this, even NGS stations, that aren't in the database. It's probably just not in the system. There's three within a half block of my house that are City of Albuquerque, although they might be sending them to the NGS soon. You might create a "Dang it" list, of the non PID stations you run across. Edited July 6, 2005 by BuckBrooke Quote Link to comment
+Black Dog Trackers Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 There's a zillion disks out there that are not in the NGS/Geocaching database. You may have found one of them, in which case, you're doing nothing wrong. Quote Link to comment
+Old Bill Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Sorry about the link...Should have known. The disc says... (Top) U.S. Coast & Goedetic Survey and State Survey (Center) Station No. CB10 ---|--- Elevation (Bottom) Feet 1955 I was thinking that because it was the USC&GS, it would be in there. I know that there a lot of state/county/city ones that won't have any listing in the DB. Oh well..... Quote Link to comment
Z15 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) NGS does not have data on many of those State Survey marks. The work was done back in the 1934-35 era as a make work project by the gov't. The funds ran out before much of the states finished the work. Also much of the work was below standards of the NGS. NGS will not publish info on marks of which they do not have the supporting fields notes etc. read this about the Flordia work. Here is a link to read about the USC&GS & SS marks HISTORY OF THE LOCAL CONTROL SURVEYS PROJECT Edited July 6, 2005 by Z15 Quote Link to comment
+Old Bill Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Well now, that 'splains it, don't it? Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment
