You could dig down a couple of feet, set it, then set whatever you want above it.

I would ask myself; what would Kent do? or What would Jerry Penry do?
I have a Tall Clock, or as I prefer, Grandfather Clock made in the 1760's by Cornelius Miller. I posted pics before. It's headed to the Smithsonian museum in 2025 or earlier if I croak before then. Kids don't want it. Keeps as good time as a Rolex. I have to wind it up every week. ?????ÿ
@flga
Does it go BONG every hour?
@flga
Wasn't there a Twilight Zone episode about a guy who wound his clock every 5 days, only to find out decades later that it was a 10 day clock (maybe it was 7 & 14, it was a long time ago)????ÿ
The Twilight Zone episode I remember best was the guy who had a stopwatch that he could use to stop and start the whole world.?ÿ He could push the stop button, help himself to whatever store or enterprise he was in and then push the start button after he left and the world went on as usual.?ÿ One day he decided to help himself to all the goodies in a jewelry store.?ÿ He pushed the stop button, raided the cases, and on his way out dropped his stopwatch and broke it.?ÿ And the whole world was still stopped, except him.
@flga:?ÿ I call mine what it is, a pendulum clock.?ÿ It does keep fabulous time.?ÿ ( I have a receiver that monitors WWV to compare it to.)
I remember that one too (good one)!
I'm not (at all) sure that the "episode" I remember about the clock winding was a Twilight Zone or not. I have a vivid memory of the PO'd "winder" when he find out that had wound that clock twice as often over the decades as was necessary, but I don't remember which show/movie the "scene" was in.
But then again...there's a LOT of things I don't remember (or can't put a date on) these days.

I don't remember that episode, but another great time based one was the guy who did meticulous upkeep on the clock because he thought when it stopped working, he would die.?ÿ I don't recall what happened at the end, but for some reason he could not wind the clock.?ÿ He didn't die as a result of the clock not running.?ÿ I don't remember the actor in it's name, but he was in a bunch of shows from that time period - always enjoyed his performances.
That's what I was thinking as well.

Never seen one in person, but it looks like the ones they have worked with on episodes of This Old House.
A shot in the dark here - it could be the concrete core of a concrete filled 2" pipe, from which the iron has completed corroded. Which seems unlikely, except I remember Kent talking about some soils in your area that would eradicate anything iron in short order.?ÿ ?ÿAnd that would account for a surveyor going to the trouble of filling the pipe with concrete.?ÿ
Exactly; you can say it was described as a 2" pipe, in document xyz; you can say it was a 1 1/2", 5 1/2" long solid metal cylinder and you replaced it with a gold plated 2 5/8' metal disc cemented into a 24" long iron pipe, driven securely in the ground.
You can do anything you want; as long as you have a good reason for doing so, just in case a Judge asks you...
It doesn't even have to go as far as a judge?ÿ More often it's just the next surveyor who needs the information.
It is much more likely for peace in the neighborhood to be maintained when the next surveyor can rely on your work because you explained yourself.?ÿ
"It is the corner because I said so", isn't the most helpful product in court, and therefore it isn't the most helpful product for future surveyors, and therefore it isn't the most helpful product for land owners.?ÿ
