Thereƒ??s shows about Game Wardens, Bounty Hunters, Tow Trucks, Fishermen, Gold Miners, Moonshiners, and even Storage Unit Auctions.

Why not boundary surveyors?

proposed title: Dog the Boundary Hunter.

First thing we gotta do, ask around the seedy motel where the section corner might be? Look behind the meth lab trailer under the scrap metal pile.

Or, try to get between the 6-foot stockade fence and the giant Rosa multiflora to search for the rebar buried under 10 years of used cat litter and scooped up lawn sausage that have been thrown over the fence.....

I donƒ??t think would be a great idea lest it tarnish our outstanding professional image in the eyes of the public. ?ÿ?????ÿ

The average TV watcher will not be nearly as interested as I would be in watching someone wave a Schonstedt and dig for a piece of iron.

Nor would they be able to follow an explanation of why the surveyor looked for monuments all over a square mile or two, just to drive three rebars to divide off Grampa's house lot in the corner from the rest of the farm.

But if someone could find a way to make it interesting, perhaps a few might learn that the iron in their back yard defines their "200 ft" lot even if it is only 198.9 ft from the front and the GIS shows it at 203 ft.

@bill93 tow truck driving or buying storage units full of worthless junk is really not all that interesting. You have to add drama and fake rivalries to it.

American Pickers lost my interest when the main guy (obviously just an actor, I mean come on) he picks up this half rusted metal sign (gas station logo), just scrap metal, and offers the owner $500 for it. And thatƒ??s supposedly the wholesale price. Okay obviously this show is fake.
