WINNERS – CONTEST FOR PHOTOS OF USC&GS, NOS, AND NGS SURVEY DISKS
http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=228061&st=0&#entry4017765
A large Thank You to all who submitted photographs and/or information on old survey disks. I have carefully gone through all the submittals and considered all the photographs that met the criteria of being USC&GS and NOAA agency disks and within the correct time period. Many of the photographs were excellent, but fell within the range of know dates, so did not qualify.
The winners are listed below. Top prize is a commemorative brass survey mark, honoring the 200th Anniversary of the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey (1807 – 2007). All other prizes are lapel pins honoring the same event.

We didn’t win top prize but that’s OK as we never expected to even come in contention for this contest. We are quite thrilled at having one of our recovered disks chosen!! It’s definitely a rewarding experience for all the time and energy we put into making recoveries! I can’t wait to see the paper!
