Pipe farm

I was finishing a survey of approximately 3/4 of the West Half of a section. We found a survey showing a 1/16 corner that could make a slight difference in our r/w and North Line. Found it under the pavement fairly quickly. Surprise there were 2 1/2" rebars side by side, almost look fused together. I missed one by 0.08N and 0.02E, and the other by 0.05N and 0.03E. I though it was funny one surveyor couldn't accept a rebar a couple hundredths away and felt the need to set another. They were level with each other, so it wasn't missed. The evil side of me wanted to set my own right next to them, but I exercised control. On the upside two surveyors agreed with my breakdown of the section. It reminded me of a survey I did in Bellevue Wa. At 2 of the lot corners there were 8 monuments within a 1 foot circle, at each location, a couple were even tacked. I had to shoot everyone of them for our map. I don't understand the need by some, to create pipe farms.

You're problem is not understanding that every surveyor has the right to make an anonymous opinion no matter how unprofessional. A professional surveyor has the knowledge to clean it up.

The comment was to reply to Mark R's first post...not LRDay's comment. I'm not up to snuff on this board mechanics.
