F476 is at the courthouse, just a few feet south of the east entrance, in the stone foundation wall and just above the ground. Why there's a nail glued to it I'll never know.

The datasheet lists F476 as being 1.6 feet above the ground. Apparently either the ground has risen or the building has sunk in the intervening years.
