I do need to send in a recovery form for one of the benchmarks I found near Bellville. The power squadron says they didnt find it in 1999 but they found it in 1988?
I'm guessing the expectations of these folks wouldn't have been so high if they were named something a little more nondescript like; 'hey, we looked for it' or 'two guys and a truck' 🙂

A while back an old-timey surveyor told me that whenever a SFNF was recorded by the Power Squadron on those data sheets, to be very suspect of it.
The only superior evidence is that which you haven't yet found.
I'll second that. Bench mark reporting was a minor activity for the Power Squadron so the experience level for many of their members was low.
And it is rare to see any more in their reports than just the Good, Poor, or NF, so you get no feel for whether they spent an hour with metal detector and probe (I suspect rare) or if they just couldn't see it as they walked by, or whether they used a checklist with no option for "ran out of time and didn't look for that one."
