non surveyor looking for info please

i am a non surveyor..i am looking for a very precise location...i am needing to mark off the exact ground within a precise set of coordinates {ie--00.00.000 N and 00.00.000 W}...it has to be marked precisely to the seconds, on all 4 corners of the location...if it is not precisely located and marked, many years of research and fieldwork by several people will be very quickly wasted, and the end result will be that the project could never be completed by anyone, ever, if we attempt any work that is not directly dead within the marked coordinates...this spot was surveyed by master surveyors around 140 years ago, and will be exact..using gps in the area i have found locations pointed to by the gps to be off anywhere from 11 ft to over 1/4th mile..i did use a military gps once that got us the lowest amount of *being off*...my questions here is, could {or would} a modern day surveyor locate and mark the exact coordinate point ?..and how easily could this be accomplished ?..would it be a walk out, press a few buttons and walla type thing with new advanced type equipment, or would it have to be done as was done originally, by going off known locations, running lines, triangulating, and then doing the same off of other known locations to verify exactness ? as it will be exact...thank you very much in advance for your time and consideration...
