@stephen-ward?ÿ

This is kind of like the skit from George Carlin:

Ranger Dan and his big dog Dick.

I once set a 60d nail & lath well off the R/W for a control point I wanted saved from pending construction.?ÿ About middle of the afternoon the property owner caught me and asked about it.?ÿ I explained the road construction would tear out everything within the R/W so I placed it well away from the road.?ÿ I asked him if he would mind saving them for me.

About two days later he caught up with me again.?ÿ He presented me with the lath and nail..with a little dirt still attached.?ÿ He said proudly, "Here. I saved them for you just like you asked."?ÿ?ÿ

We have had hundreds of these strung all over our corner of the county recently.?ÿ All they amount to is notifying the crews installing all new fiberoptic cable as to where drop boxes are to be installed whenever they happen to be going along that stretch of the overall project (Parts in four different counties).

@bstrand?ÿ Just dirt under there. This is just in a forest. It is actually in the middle of an old horse path that circled the property when horses were boarded and ridden here back in the 90's?ÿ

@jitterboogie true I use the 5000 series for calculations of various sources of record data.

sets me back a bit more.

I don't know about that... it sure looks like there is flagging tied to something in the ground.?ÿ Did you dig around and see what the flagging is attached to?

@ummagumma?ÿ

Who knows.?ÿ Maybe the line of site between traverse/reference points was better where it is.?ÿ Also, maybe it wasn't obvious to them that they were on someone else's property.

@paden-cash A similar thing happened to me,?ÿ I was short handed and agreed to let a home builder client/friend help me survey his personal property, and so I instructed him on how to give a backsite on a traverse nail, after letting him know that I had gotten the shot, he came back to my setup for further instruction, and presented my with the traverse nail which he had so considerately kept for the next traverse.

Without knowing anything other than what I've just read, I can say 100% positive that no one plans on taking your land.?ÿ
