Any thoughts on what Conc. Bder is on a few of the above corners shown?

I'm not in MD, but I slept in air conditioning last night...
Joking aside... I'm going to say Concrete Bounder like the NE/Yankee states set. Probably a 4"x4" or 6"x6" or there abouts or maybe a round concrete thingy, that may or may not have a rebar in the middle.
But again... I'm only guessing.
My first thought was "boulder", suggesting a round, cannon ball-looking thing.
Bounder sounds possible, also.
Then again, "Bder" may be short for "Be Dere" which is short for "Be There". You never know about those Merry-Landers.
I guess I should weigh in on this one since I am in Oregon!
I am with Carl on the Concrete Bounder.
Actually I used to be registered in Maryland (for whatever that is worth).
Good old number 330.
I never saw that one before. What did you find? I would look in the adjoiners deeds and see if any of them spelled it out.
I guess I didn't mean to limit it to the Maryland guys, but it is the first time I have ever seen a call like this and the property is in Maryland. Working in PA, DE and NJ I have never come across this.
thanks for the input so far.
:good:

Ah, no worries, I call everyone guys, even the gals 😉 I worked in MD for 20 years and never saw that one. No legend I suppose. That would make it too easy. Let us know what you find out!
Concrete Border (defined; the line that officially separates two countries or regions, or the land on each side of it) comes to mind.... It's been 20+ years since I have enjoyed colonial surveying in the great state of Maryland..Might look-up a Local Survey firm and pop them the question....
Coming for some Steamed Blue Crabs next month though:-)
if we find 'em I'll post pics
what county and plat? i can't find lee banks in grantor/grantee indices. i would like to see the rest of the inst, if you're ok with that
ok, found lee william banks in wicomico county. he is grantee in the below instruments, hopefully same person same parcel
liber jck 144 folio 36 indicates 'cement posts' on some of the calls.
JWTS L484F439 also calls for cement posts.
jck 113/216 calls for cement posts, trees, posts, stakes etc.
ajs 860/488 same comments as above, basically
i suppose it just depends on which instrument you are referring to. i can't find your posted plat yet...
Couldn't "Cement Posts" be called a "Bounder"? I don't see the stretch here. Like Spledus, Don Poole and Lee Green call for "Stone Bounds" and/or "Concrete Bounds" in their day to day survey activities, maybe the guy who drew the plat came from way up NE way...

could be. never heard of or saw 'bounder'. in foundations, some locals use 'footing' some use 'footer'. footer and bounder look and sound bizarre to me.
in a somewhat similar note, i often find precast concrete markers that were recorded as 'stone'. very common in most of maryland. how often do you others see this?
here's a photo of one of the Conc. Bder's found
pretty much just a standard concrete monument with steel in the center

I still think I'm right. 😛
Nice monument. Are they sturdy?
