Re: converting legal description to gps waypoints

This is one way to do it:
Take the GPS to the corner which you have already found and take a
reading. Record the UTM coordinates. Convert the unfound corners to UTM
coordinates by using the legal description of the property and the
found corner as your reference coordinate. Put these coordinates into
your GPS as waypoints. Away you ago.
Or else you could hire a surveyor.
