That right there surely starts it all.
In some states (in your case a Commonwealth) that is completely illegal and prosecutable.
I told you this would get interesting real quick!

We have just discovered thru this helpful website that my surveyor is indeed correct.

I would never tell him he was wrong, but, I was thinking out loud how that could be. This neighbor does illegal things on his land,and he is not a very good neighbor. I called the cops on him and the CA told me they would prosecute him if I could prove he pulled them up,by the way he admitted he did to the police officer, He said it was not a pin ,but, a stake(same difference I thinK).

Their record of survey should have all of this information, but you may have to have them explain it to you in layman terms. If you have additional evidence that the surveyor is not aware of, you should present this, even if it is an un-recorded document.Jeremy
Doesn't my survey,the one that is recorded in the zoning and plannng office of Madison county,Ky stand as the final end all and be all in the thing?

I wish I had a crystal ball.and I was wrong to say he was way off,I was thinking out loud and should not have written it down. He was correct,we got out the deed and found out he started he measuements from 25ft. from the centerlline of the road.making me right to begin with.

English, Johnny. English please. Maybe it's a IN,KY term not recognized by other parts of the civilized world.
Clarification for those of you not in the uncivilized parts of the world... 😉
::pops popcorn:: means that I am enjoying this thread so much that I have popped popcorn, put my feet up on the desk and cracked a cold beverage.
😀
It applies in many other situations as well. For instance, when one would enter a Kent post from the old site and see that someone is getting quite the survey 101 lesson, it would be appropriate to type...

"I see", said the blind man to the deaf man.
Like this? 
Debbie, A good surveyor can be a great help. He can work with you to get this issue resolved.

Debbie....you need to be sure. Terminology. When a surveyor sets a "pin" it's often an iron rod in the ground (with a cap on it with the surveyor's number in my state"). We usually put a wooden guard stake next to it. If he pulled the wood guard stake, the pin may still be in place and findable by eye or with a metal detector.

Shoot first, ask questions later, huh? I hope you are more than a little bit embarrassed. I hope you will confess your sins and personally apologize to this surveyor you have besmirched in an international forum of his peers.
