So there I was, locating wetland flagging on this Marsh restoration project and I stumble across this;
I found this on the top of a small hill in a rather empty part of Wellfleet. First I saw the witness monument and thought it was a Park Boundary marker, but upon closer inspection I found the point. OK, all I had to do was walk up there to the bound and the pin was obvious 🙂
As I always say, "See one, Shoot one!"
The witness monument was scribed with W-5, but I cannot find a single reference to it anywhere, yet. I have a call into the local Park office and left messages for their GIS and records folks. Eventually I may hear back from them. Meanwhile, I have a two hour occupation.

Contact Tim Smith (tim_smith@nps.gov). Tim in the Park Service GPS program manager. If he doesn't have the data he should be able to point you directly to the person that does.
Looks like a sleeved benchmark.
Thank you. I did write "mike" at the URI because I noticed on the opus shared solutions that he has set several in the area for the NSP. I'll write Tim tomorrow morning.
Mark Adams is the NPS GIS guy. I will e-mail him with your e-mail.
Back when we had the Convention in Eastham, Joel and I set a bunch of nails all around Eastham as part of the show. I made a datasheet with USGS map and nail descriptions and coordinates. One guy went to all of them and brought back pictures of the nails... Not of the impressive views where they were set.
While Joel and I were zipping along setting nails, we went to Coast Guard Beach and the NPS Attendant asked for $20 to park. I said, 'No, No, we're just going in to set a nail and locate it.' She replied, 'Are you allowed?' and I said 'Yes! and drove right in.'
Once in the lot, Joel said 'I don't think we are allowed to do this.' and I did it anyway. What is a nail in a paved sidewalk?
Two months after the Convention, Mark Adams called looking for any control in Eastham. I sent him the sheet.
So even if it was in the wrong order, I did do that work for the NPS...
