++dhdgps+ Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Folks, I was looking for LL1134 in Boulder, CO, and the description says something about a stainless steel rod. I just finished entering a not-found log, and only then did I notice the description of this benchmark as a metal rod for the "marker type", and the "setting" being a stainless steel rod. Then in the description it says: "NOTE--ACCESS TO THE DATUM POINT IS HAD THROUGH A 5-INCH LOGO CAP." I realized that I had seen a rod sticking up out of the ground near some well-manicured grass and rocks (in front of this business), and the rod had this thing that looked like a disk with buttons protruding from the underside of the disk. The disk had a hole in it, and the rod was through the hole. Could that be the marker? If so, I'll go back there and snap a picture of it, and mark it as found. Thanks for any and all advice!! +dhdgps+ Quote Link to comment
+xmashl Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I have pictures of a couple examples of a 5-inch logo cap: top cover Cover open Quote Link to comment
+happycycler Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 DustyJacket's great Images of BenchMarks and Related Objects site has examples of metal rods as well as many other objects used as survey marks (benchmarks). Quote Link to comment
++dhdgps+ Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Thanks gentlemen!! The pictures on Dusty's web site don't have anything that matches the one that I saw. I'll take a picture of it, and upload it. I'm just afraid to see what it really turns out to be (sprinkler control valve???). Thanks!! +dhdgps+ Quote Link to comment
