Like most here we spot survey points while wandering around. This was found on a side trip while enroute to DC last week.
It might have been set by this guy.
Wow! Those are some mighty big rifles to the left of that guy!!
Guess conceal and carry would be out of the question.
😀
(sorry, couldn't resist)
E.
Those are rock drills.
> Those are rock drills.
No kidding!! I've been around rock-blasters more than a few times.
Thus the 😀
and the "sorry couldn't resist" comment.
WOW! That's a mighty big gravity anomaly! Look at the curvature of the plumbline!!!
NGS should use that in a PowerPoint slide as an illustration.

My favorite part.
Great picture, Bob. Is that one or the SchoBros?
I believe that's the Sterling Hill Mine in Odgensburg, New Jersey.
It's a fun tour.
Rock drills? Looks like they're made out of some kind of metal.
The injuns used rock drills, little fellers.

Glad I wasn't the only one to notice that!!
Imagine what your pee-stream might do. :-O
Found in an audit
At first glance at the thread, I could have sworn it said "audit" instead of "adit".
Adit is one of those words I first learned by doing crossword puzzles as a kid. It was right up there with uvula and ai.

Roger that Mr. Cow. Wendell's spell checker flags it as well.
While you brought up crossword puzzles, who would have ever thought "acme" meant "highest point" and not Wile E. Coyote's bag of tricks. 🙂
You know your mine tours, Dan.
It was a fun stop with the kids. Not the work place for me, and a thousand ways to get hurt.
I did not know what an "adit" was until the tour.
Surprised, though
That there were no comments on the numbers after the decimal place on the coordinates and elevation values stamped into the disk. The disk was in the wall of the mine.
