Caprolite?
Replace it with something a little more substantial, and call it that.
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!found dirty human hand with pinkish tone often found on desk jockeys cupping 5″ long 2″ diameter iron chiseling maul.
Old weight for tall clocks? ????
A window weight?
I have one as well. What is this?
It’s in the right spot but all of the other monuments from the 1950 subdivision were as described.
@flga & used as a plumb-bob
@flga that’s what it looks like to me- corroded quite a bit. i immediately thought counter weight either from a clock or a window or block and tackle. mr. pinkhands (bless his heart) ain’t seen enough yet in this life to have any better clue as to what it was.
@david-kendall that almost looks like a finial from a wrought iron fence.
If the end nearest the thumb is broken, then it could be part of a window weight.
.@dougiei don’t want to replace it. it’s unique to that corner and it fits. the last survey (for the adjoiner) called it a 2″ pipe. ain’t no pipe- it’s solid.
An upright solid, round steel marker, 6? long with a top diameter of 2?, a diameter of 1.7? at 5? inches below the top, and having a roughly 45 degree taper to a rather blunt point in the bottom inch.
Or for the sake of simpler text in the metes and bounds just “round steel marker, 6? long with a top diameter of 2? ” and then just use the more lengthy, detailed description to the plat.

Ah, but is it steel, cast iron, or other form of iron?
. @dougie
Yes replace it, but you still need to communicate why you set the new monument where you did. That would still require a description of the Thing.
Is that a broken window sash counterweight?

Isn’t the fence corner the point you want? Whatever it is be sure to note that it was found x.xx by x.xx from the true corner.
Exactly; you can say it was described as a 2″ pipe, in document xyz; you can say it was a 1 1/2″, 5 1/2″ long solid metal cylinder and you replaced it with a gold plated 2 5/8′ metal disc cemented into a 24″ long iron pipe, driven securely in the ground.
You can do anything you want; as long as you have a good reason for doing so, just in case a Judge asks you…
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!@flga
My Grandparents had a couple of the pine cone type, hanging from their coo-coo clock.
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!You could dig down a couple of feet, set it, then set whatever you want above it.
I would ask myself; what would Kent do? or What would Jerry Penry do?
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!
