Hey maybe you should try going that far in the noted directions or possibly
in the opposite directions and see where it leads you. It could be some sort
of directional guide. Just a thought. I'm just grabbing at straws here. Who
knows you could end up with a real treasure cache or something, then again
you could end up with nothing.

this is no ordinary benchmark. It is a pipe coming out of the ground at a 45
degree angle. There is a mushroom like top that has the following stamped in
it..

canot be coords because they put me in Libya. What do you suppose it is??? I
could not get a clear lock so I didn't really waypoint it. It was way too
foggy to get anything yesterday morning. So I am heading back out right now
to finish up. I can certainly walk right back to it as I know exectly where
it is..
