I would not reject official government monuments unless I had a extremely good reason. I don??t even reject monuments set be land surveyors duly licensed by the state unless I have a very good reason.
I rarely bother with closure limits or perfect procedure when evaluating an undisturbed monument from an approved GLO survey. Minor issues that make it through approval are no reason to reject. The standard is gross fraud or negligence.
When does the music stop?
Musical pin cushions, that is.
So, you have a stake out.?ÿ

You stake it. It falls in a ravine. Full of 2' stone. You drive a 4' 3/4" pipe. You bang it all over. Your final shot misses the top of the pipe by 0.075'.
You and crew walk away. Good nuff.
Year is 2322.
Survey crew in space ship, finds your monument. It's 0.222' "off".
What should they do??ÿ
Set new monument, because those idiots in 2022 were sloppy?
It's the same equation.
Numbers vary, by tools used. And available.

the S2 Section 25 was patented prior to the resurvey along the west line, so one GLO brass cap monumented a senior private ownership. The north2 had not been patented yet.?ÿ
This one is interesting.?ÿ
I found the stone just south of a new BLM resurvey monument.?ÿ
Because of a quirk in state law (regulation) I had to accept the resurvey monument.
The quirk is that the latest official government survey holds. It was better for my client anyway since it kept them further off the line they were trying to creep up to, if it had been the reverse it might have been an issue for them.?ÿ

Is this out in/near the Thunder Basin National Grasslands?

This should become a surveyor t-shirt and coffee cup campaign...
