The less attention I draw to certain things, the better chance it will remain. I wil knot flagging in the fence, I will place flagging under a rock, I will bury flagging, I will drop a lath in the grass, but some days I feel that setting a lath and putting pink streamers on it is asking to have the monument be taken or destroyed.
It depends on the situation. If it is timberland where loggers will be working then everything is flagged up with copious amounts of flagging so that it doesn't get destroyed by falling trees and yellow machines. It doesn't always work but most of the time it does.
I have a serious hope of being able to remove an original stone, cut the top off with my masonry grinder. And have it as a paper weight.
Sadly, I have found plenty, but none so far were at risk of being destroyed.
I will just continue hoping... and flipping through my collection of photos.

HA, or misbehaving surveyors who like to collect old stuff. I have ran into a few.
