I found my prism pole!
> Obviously, right where I left it.....on an iron pin and metal t-post foresight on a job I went back to today. Imagine my shock and surprise to actually find it laying on the ground on the point I had shot in with my total station! It had spent the winter there, been underwater a few times, both bipod leg points had popped out, one thumb release rod had broken at the bottom threads, a lost cone piece, the inner rod lost its ability, to remain in the outer pole, the prism canister was full of water, and the prism backplate paint is starting to peel away.

> With a few new parts, some steel wool, and a shot of WD-40, I will have it up and running again! This is like finding $350 in an old jacket pocket......!!! 😀
A beautiful story, with a happy (even funny) ending.

Thanks for posting, Harold.
I think a lot of us have been worried sick and losing sleep.
