A surveyor took some 3" iron disks and welded them to rebar, they make a nice monument, easy to find, for a surveyor but more important for the landowner:

The property has some contour to it, this is the witness corner for the southwest corner, the actual corner is 9' to the left:

OK Moe, do you have an awesome camera, or is it even more pretty in person?

I'll second that comment about being winded by looking at the photos. Once would be enough of that for me.

I did a project where Norman Bailiff set 2" iron pipes with a 3x3 iron plate welded to the top in the 1960s. I found one intact, the rust almost made his LS unreadable. Another near a utility pole had the plate missing and it missed by 2' (Bailiff did excellent work). I concluded the utility crew had "reset" it there because his other monuments fit like a glove.
