+Team Hugs Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 I'm a veteran cacher, but a total newbie when it comes to benchmarks. On a recent vacation in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I came across the following: As far as I can tell (remember, I'm a newbie), I think this is a Michigan state marker denoting the corner used in the Michigan township surveying. As such, I'm guessing that this isn't loggable as an NGS benchmark (at least, I couldn't find anything on geocaching.com at those coordinates). Is that correct? Is there anything I can/should do with the log information I have on this? Quote

You can log it on Waymarking.com Visit Link in the US Benchmarks category - they also have a separate category just for 'Public Land' survey marks which would include section corners... Quote
