"So, is anyone of the opinion that setting a new rod and cap in the hole was improper destruction of important evidence?'
Nope, you could note the evidence with your description:
"Set rod with cap stamped...in found 1/2" diameter hole".
add a note to your plat: "found and removed a 1/2" hole and replaced with a ..."
how do you remove a hole? found 1/2" hole filled it with metal
> how do you remove a hole? found 1/2" hole filled it with metal
LOL! It still sounds like removing important "evidence" to me.
Found hole at corner, reinforced it with a 1/2" diameter steel rebar. Perpetuating the corner it seems and have removed nothing.

But ... now there is no hole! You've prevented some future surveyor from ever being able to check the hole. I think it is safe to say that whoever pulled the original rod relied upon the hole and adjusted their ideas about the common boundary accordingly. :>
I'm wondering how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
At 1/2" each, it must be WAY more that 4000.

I'd say that this falls under the category of upgrading a substandard monument.

Correction: You can check the hole any time you want. Just pull the rod and you'll see that the hole is still there.
Me. "What's the difference?"

Seems like a pretty straight forward rehabilitation so I have no problem with it and in fact have done several of these.
We measure the depth of the hole using wire and then measure the length of wire. I also take a picture of a pencil or something that contrasts from the side showing the hole more clearly.
