A listener sent this to me. I have never seen one in the woods and I am not sure what it is about. I have never heard of the bureau of digital survey. Thoughts?

Interesting, I have never seen one before.

Why would a geological survey marker be on a tree?? Isn’t geology the study of rocks & minerals?? But then I suppose they could be studying the mineral uptake of plants. WEIRD :/

This is just a stationary land marker for a set coordinate that they can use in geological surveys. its got a QR Code (square barcode) simply to help identify it in the database. Its on a tree because, last I heard at least, trees don’t get up and move. I have seen other markers (older ones) in rock formations before.
Move along…. nothing to see here….Move along….

they are generally made of metal, but have seen one plastic one.

harvest it and expose to a high heat source or re-locate it un damaged far, far away from place of origin….

And for those who say “Why not just use GPS?”. These markers are more accurate as GPS reception in forrests is moderate at best. Been there, done that.

i was thinking maybe they were experimenting on the tree with certain chemicals or something and are marking which ones instead of using spray paint. just a thought.. but thats the conspiracy theorist in me!

Simple survey marker. Nothing more. Nothing less. Usually they are metal and are hammered into rock or placed on/in a bit of cement.

About Munzee
Munzee officially started July 1st, 2011, but the idea behind the company was developed in 2008. The co-founders of Munzee, Aaron Benzick, Scott Foster, Chris Pick, and Josh Terkelsen came up with a game that used QR codes, but the necessary smart phone technology and capabilities were not available at the time. The name Munzee was derived from the German word for “coin” or Münze. The extra “e” was added to make the name more catchy. The original idea was to place QR codes on poker chips or rounded coins.
In the beginning, most players and deployments were in Germany and the United States, but in less than 3 years, the game has caught on in over 217 countries worldwide with more than 273,908 players and 93,014,437 captures. There is at least 1 physical munzee deployed on every continent in the world, including Antarctica.
As of October 2013, Rob Vardeman took over the reins as President of Munzee. The main goal of Munzee is to make a game that is free and fun for everyone. So much has been added to Munzee including Clans, Badges, and new munzee types…and it’s only getting started.
“Munzee is an evolving game with a bright future. Players can look forward to fresh gameplay and ideas on a regular basis. The core of Munzee will always be a free app with perks available to those who support us through a premium membership.” – Rob Vardeman, President
