Nailed it!
Must have had a few before he set it if the mag nail in sand is expected to last long
That's the work of ol' Hezikiha J. Beer who was near the front of the line on the day they began passing out surveyor licenses in Oregon.?ÿ Some members of the Beer family dropped the "y" on the end when they immigrated to the US.?ÿ Quite a number of Beery family members are stuck admitting they are related to me through my mother's father's mother's mother's side of the family tree.

It's probably wedged tight enough between the bricks that it won't come out without tools.
it won't come out without tools.
Like a snow shovel.
@bill93 here in the North East, that baby won't last for mor than a couple freeze and thaw cycles.?ÿ Heaving will pop that sucker right out.
Find the companion corner marked "It's 5 O' Clock Somewhere".?ÿ LOL!

In Washington State there should be one reading: 54-40 OR FIGHT close enough to the Canadian border for it to be read from north of the border.
@bill93?ÿ
I regard mag nails, unless leaded into a clean drill hole in sound concrete, as temporary control.?ÿ Even that is iffy.?ÿ
Well, it is a working point and not record map monument, right?
Is that an acceptable monument for a recorded map or survey by any County Surveyor? ?ÿ
Just curious.
JA, PLS SoCal
Recently I have begun to believe that not much is permanent.?ÿ

There's one similar to that a few blocks from me, but instead of a mag nail the tag is epoxied to a paver.?ÿ The "monument" is shown on a Corner Record.?ÿ
Whenever a utility comes along to dig things up that paver is likely to end up in a different location.?ÿ ?ÿ I complained to the regional JPPC about it, but nothing was done.
I can think of two section corners that fall on a movable concrete rail crossing pad.?ÿ In one case that pad has been removed and then replaced backwards.?ÿ It now has two marks so you will find an "X" in concrete at the spot agreeing with the reference notes.

But the hole in the concrete is permanent. I used to put them in expansion joints when I first started. I quickly learned that was a bad idea. If, however, you pound a lath end into the joint first, then the mag nail, it will stay for a couple of years.?ÿ

That is very possibly a temporary control point...
