+TheKidFromWB Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have taken pictures of a number of benchmarks and I know their approximate location. How to I tie the information on the benchmark back to a benchmark listing? I appologize if this has been asked before but I could not find a thread on it. Quote Link to comment
+Black Dog Trackers Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi KidFromWB, and welcome to benchmark hunting. A good place to start is to read this whole FAQ on benchmark hunting if you haven't already. To search by coordinates go that same page and then click on "Other search options", and then click the radio button called "By Coordinates" and enter your approximate coordinates. The key to correctly identifying a disk is by its general location and particularly its Designation (its name) printed on it, such as "M 143" or "HILLTOP". If you find your disk in the database you can log it here. If you don't find it in the database (no surprise at all) then you can log it in the US Benchmarks Waymarking site. Quote Link to comment

+meralgia Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I recently found a vertical control disc with no number on it. I did an arduous search of the nearby benchmarks with no results. There is no number on the disc. Is there a way to create a benchmark log? Quote Link to comment
