obj/turf location

I'm having a problem getting turfs/objects that are in the map file to find any mobs near them. For example, I have a turf and object that both run a similar proc to detect any nearby mobs every 2 seconds. If it finds one it will spawn a monster on the turf/obj's loc. My problem is that the turfs and objects don't seem to have any coordinates. The turf's loc is literally "the area" and the obj's location is literally "the turf". I think that's the reason the mob isn't being detected because if I use a verb to spawn the exact same object near my mob it DOES detect it. I think the problem has something to do with how DM places things on the map. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Dunno if this is the right place to post this or not but I was wondering what is the difference between these methods of declaring a mob. Some of them seem to work at times and others don't for certain kinds of situations.

mob
    verb
        Attack(var/mob/M as mob in oview(1))
                
        Attack(var/mob/M in oview(1))
        
        Attack(mob/M in oview(1))

        Attack(M as mob in oview(1))

Could someone please clarify the difference between them please? They all seem like they mean the same thing to me. The very top one looks like M as being declared as a mob TWICE in the same line.
