Anybody good at math like to help with a geocache puzzle? Unsolved for >5 years, and the guy who made it died. I'm terrible at math, so I feel like I could be missing something easy.
I'll post what I have.
Pic related is a two mile radius range of coordinates that should include the solution. This pic doesn't include MGRS cords somewhere around 6VUN53128231
I appreciate any input

I've looked at converting base 10 to 64, converting coordinates from digital to wsg84, utm, etc. wsg84 is the most commonly used format for the hobby, but I feel like this solution involves something else

is a great map that allows you to switch between coordinate types for an idea of numerical ranges.
A two mile radius is the usual distance allowed from a puzzle's given location
