RECOVERY NOTE BY L DICKERSON ASSOC 1964 RECOVERED IN GOOD CONDITION

 

So the above is from a benchmark listing. It says it has been recovered. Does that mean it is not there any more?

Hi Luckless,

 

“Recovered” simply means that it was found at the location where it was supposed to be (it does not mean that it was removed or taken away).

 

In this instance, L DICKERSON ASSOC found the NA1325 benchmark in 1964 and it was in good condition.

 

So… all we know about this benchmark is that the last recorded information says that it was still OK and still in place in 1964.

More than once I have had to stop in mid-sentence when asked what I'm doing/looking for.

 

'I'm just trying to recove.....ERRR, AH, I'm LOOKING to see if a survey marker is still around here somewhere. Just checking to see if it's still in place.'
