Poking around on the OS database, it doesn't look like it's on there either. What larks!

On any OS maps?
If not I'd say it's a fake designed to throw you.

More like the marks I found the other day, coords were off.
The marks are in the database, just the OS coords are out.
I must get them uploaded to the benchmark site
I'd a pal send me an image of a rivet but I can't find head nor hair of it.
Kinda makes you want just to stick to the ones already found.
The list of OS map refs in the square concerned don't appear to have this one. It's a bridge and there are three bridges listed in the square, all of which are other bridges IYSWIM. I thought the issue you had was the translation of map ref to lat and long giving spurious results.. I need to delve a bit further.

I used my GPS to OS coords and took a minimum of 3 readings per cut mark...
here's one from the above image
OS info from database
GPS
Just used this one but all three averaged out roughly.

I have traded my Dawes(aluminum) for a Schwinn Mirada, in keeping with the rules.Also, it's a bit bigger, closer to the proper size. I may have a benchmark for today, depends on weather and lawn considerations.

Good lad Mr Aided. We'll accept sightings made on foot, in a car, or (perish the thought) on a plastic bicycle, but trigs bagged on a steel machine are considered the most wholesome and stylish.

I'm planning some searches for the weekend, as today did not work out, due to a little illness after this mornings' yard work, as well as the threat of storms. I have one point right on the side of old Route 66. I started off the lawnmower chorus this morning, and am now reaping the benefits, listening to three mowers going now.

I had one of them there hipsters move in next door to me. Seems like a nice fellow, perhaps I could get him interested in geodetic survey markers. I'm a post hippie, my father was more the beatnik (yes, he owned bongos, 2 sets), so this hipster thing is not unknown to me.

No intentions of hunting today, other royal duties
I was heading to a dalliance with the Maid

Up a one-way street, the wrong way and there it was
CBM, Dumbarton, Bankend Rd
another one not on the Bench Mark site ....
