+Harry Dolphin Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Dolphin also wishes to compete in this competition. If I can't spell out 2oldfarts with benchmarks that I haven't already found, I shall retire from competition! And if I get busted for digging in the lawn of the daycare center in Westfall Pa, so be it! R is for rivet! Quote Link to comment

+Holtie22 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Is it OK for a surveyor to join in - or would I be seen to have an unfair advantage? Quote Link to comment
2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Is it OK for a surveyor to join in - or would I be seen to have an unfair advantage? You're in. If you feel that being a surveyor gives you an unfair advantage, then only hunt for those benchmarks that are in New Hampshire... Considering the number of benchmarks that we found that had been logged as not found by the USGS & NGS, I don't think there is any advantage to being a surveyor. John Quote Link to comment

jeff.hugghins Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'd like to sign up. Maybe these are for another contest, but I had ideas for some bonus points. Greatest distance between two marks found by the same contestant. Bonus points for most # of finds. Extra points for documenting "destroyed" marks, such as BY2733, BY2735. Thanks, JeffH.
