Make one of these guys, only taller. I'll send you a cone.
> I have a collection of old rusty rebar with caps on them for Arkansas PS 1254 and PS 1056 that I save to carefully bury when I really need to find a 1/4 or Section Corner. You just dig a hole, then place the rebar in the center, then backfill and tamp around it. It works every time. I also have a BM on the bumper of the truck.
LOL
Steve,
I've got some of those PS1056 caps too. I also have a copy/paste stamp for PS1052.

Thank you! Now that will set the mind to wandering as to what would work for me....

No problem, that was Dad's solution to the same question that you basically asked.
The only thing that I'd do differently now: I think we used a 6" nipple (threads on both ends), I think I'd probably cut the threads off the end sticking out and leave only about 1/4" sticking out.
Why, thank you Steve! Maybe I can pick up a few of yours next time?
🙂

Aloha, Nate: You can use them for your next driveway or sidewalk concrete pour. You don't have to straighten them very much for this purpose.
I like to tie it into a knot or a pretzel and chew on it while I read the threads on this board.
Yes, I could do that. How does the salt spray affect things over there, across the pond? Does rebar rust away, from the salt spray?
I sure do miss living real close to water. Are you close to the ocean, and do you eat or like fish?

Aloha, Nate:
We found that is an easier way to repurpose old rebars. It cuts down the possibility of someone confusing the rebar for survey monument significantly.
We are about 4.25 miles from the ocean at 410ft of elev.--I think. Things do rust pretty quick here, both due to salty air and high humidity. Salty air and salt water damages to iron are much more visible in the structures within few hundred feet from the shorelines.
We have pretty large pond that is part of the river flow through the property. We swim almost everyday--if the water is not too high of course. Few monks do go for ocean swimming occasionally.
We are vegetarians...we don't eat fish; however, we do keep bunch of koi fish in our ponds. Caring for animals such as dairy cows, cats, birds, fish and bees are part of our monastic training when young men arrive to pursue monastic life.
I don't have old rebar. If the thing is destroyed, I throw it away so it won't confuse anyone. If it's just bent, I rehab it and tie it in.
I do have a few axles, just in case I need a "Found Axle". 🙂

Yes, I contacted him. Asked him if he was scraping the bottom of the barral, and could not seem to afford a decent mon. He is a friend, and I just harass him. We get along personally, but professionally, he is in la la land.
