Retired equipment

I don't know if it still there but I left a bush axe in a tree about 40 years ago. The hook went around the trunk straight into a hornet's nest. I RAN away and never went back for it.

Quite a swing you have there .......................

Sounds like a fun idea to enlighten someone's day, far in the future.
But, in doing so, this picture just screams LIABILITY to me.
What if future surveyor didn't see said retired object and impales himself thereupon?
Or worse yet, if a child was hurt while playing hide-and-go-seek...

That's what I was going to say... what if he was just on a bad luck streak and his bad day got even worse...

Ya'll didn't play with machetes when you was kids? That would be an awesome find for a 10 year old. It's a Fort building tool.

I left it for a surveyor to find. Therefore It's deep in the woods only a surveyor would dare go.

As a kid. My dads crews hated when I got ahold of there machetes. It take them weeks to get out the teeth out of the blade. Lol

In desert areas I find chaining pins.
I don't think they were left intentionally.

I think I would retire a machete next to monument that didn't have any metal in it. That will continue to be a nice find for many surveyors in the future.

That's a good idea!
Retired a shovel like that once! I scavenge pvc off construction sites and use it to mark monuments along with small pieces of rebar to small to use as a trav point.
