Berntsen had become covered in about an inch of mud and foliage again. However, was a straightforward find from the information provided by the sketch and previous photographs. Is just in front of the salt bin

The aim of my cycle ride today. No imminent plans to stay away from home and get a pillar, so trying other OS objects! Found the salt/grit bin OK but no sign of the Bernsten as previously described and shown in photos. Opening the lid I found the bin was empty but for a few bottles so I was able to lift and push it further into the hedgeline. Still nothing in sight. Improvised with a metal tyre lever to prod the ground I made a contact under where the bin had been toward its left front corner . Scraped away about 1/4 ins of earth and there it was. The day's ride also saw me pass 14,000 miles for the year and a lifetimes documented mileage of 700,000.

Half covered by a grit bin, but still easy to find - unlike the associated geocache.

Parked adjacent to the salt bin, and found FBM esily whilst pathetically failing to spot the nearby geocache. The first one like this I've seen ... well , seen half of !

Only half of the BM is showing, being partially covered by a bright blue road salt bin! Appears to be a stainless steel disc. Discovered by chance after finding a nearby 'YOSM Challenge Cache'

260m E of the FBM on S side road just before road turns N. Easy find with OS sketch, a few prods produced the hollow metallic sound typical of a Berntsen; just a thin covering of grass.

There was a geocache near this one. Quite a search here but perseverance paid off, it was very well covered over.

I was completing a challenge cache at this location and didn't realise this FBM was here until I was actually here myself searching for the cache. I hadn't read the cache pag properly that informs you that t's here. My first FBM.

most (all) location points from OS sketch have moved/gone. Still easy enough to find. 13.6 m from footpath sign, 3.75m from gatepost. Elaborate church spire to SE.

Many thanks to fasgadh for the picture of the site because as soon as I saw it I knew why I hadn't been able to find it when I went earlier in the month. Yes, you've guessed it - I had parked the car on top of it!! Good condition and very easy to spot!

Somebody had been here recently. Like the nearby Grimley rivet,it was easily found, under a couple of leaves. No digging or poking required. So thats what a Berntsen looks like. A bit bigger than I expected.
Bromsgrove FBM Aux1 A real live Berntsen, in the wild.

Found the spot where it should have been but there had been quite a bit of road re-surfacing and I couldn't find it. It might have been concealed in the grass verge somewhere but I hadn't got time to spend digging up the grass! Not a particularly interesting spot.
