I was trained by one chief if I leave anything rebar as control give it a dimple.
Seems pretty simple.

Was it 3/8"x4' contractor's stringline pin offset to the setback or easement line??ÿ Protruding, flush or buried??ÿ If you were going to document your survey and positions and make your survey of record, then what was the harm in leaving it? Don't know where your at, but 10 feet is a mighty long ways away.?ÿ Why were you even looking that far from the calculated position anyway when you knew that you and any other competent surveyor would accept an undocumented non original monument that was found to be that far out of position? Noting and referencing the unaccepted rebar by distance and bearing on the plat/report is a requirement of our state's standards (KS). I guess if it is not there then there is nothing to note and reference! 😉
It's in a remote area, I accepted all the monuments I've found from the surveyor that set it, except this one:
The bar was here, 10' from my section breakdown calc. I turned it up with my metal detector when I went to look before setting mine.?ÿ
I figured there might be a monument there and I'd been accepting all the ones I found, those were usually less than .5' from my calcs, no big deal. But this one was out quite a distance and since there isn't any occupation history for the property lines I set mine. I wasn't going to leave another monument there.?ÿ
Not that it should matter, but the neighbors property is SE of the pink line X, my clients owns the other 3 quadrants and the rebar was well into the SE quadrant so my client is losing with my position. I doubt the neighbor would care one way or the other, but since the rebar was set for a survey my client commissioned, it really needs to be placed correctly to a sectional breakdown. All 5 controlling corners are existing marked set stones.?ÿ
