Unknown benchmark?

[LayneLucero801]

While camping out at Lone Rock with a bunch of Scouts, we stumbled onto a concrete marker. It is a white, square block, approx. 4 inches on a side, held down by 2 metal stakes. It on BLM property.

Coordinates are: N 40* 42.369' W 112* 41.105'

 

Anyone have any idea what it is or why it's out there?

Thanks- Layne

Hmmm ... Scouts ... searching for & maybe finding elusive things ...

 

Snipe hunting in the microchip age?

Welcome to benchmark hunting!

 

I plugged in those coordinates and there is not a mark close in the GC/NGS database that we use. It might help to know what was stamped on the disk and a date, a picture would help.

 

You could log it at Waymarking.com. BDT has a great place to log non NGS/GC marks.

 

Good Hunting.

Do you have a picture? There are lots of kinds of markers out there, so it is hard to guess its purpose unless someone has seen a similar one in the area, or there are some identifying letters and numbers on it. Did it have engraving in the concrete, or stamping on the metal?
