I think that we are getting away from "walking in the foot steps"...due to respect to time and money. But we do not find the intermediate monuments or anything else that may add strength to the survey.
I was in the Maine woods cutting out a brush line and blazing trees...I took a lttle extra time to put us on the boundary line because it looked fairly open at that point so that we could just "give line"....I'm out front wailing away and the button pushing iman and the recent 4 year degree man decided to "stake to a line" when we are already on the line....I go back and start asking questions....headache....
Yes I whole heartily agree with you paden despite all the reasonable theories on how the nails moved, we, "the survey profession" is digressing,I guess if we let it happen, to button pushing without knowing why.

I think it's a large (red) mutant squirrel, but I need new glasses. :whistle:

😀 :good:
So are your measurements with the GR3s static observations or RTK radial ties?
Is it possible that half of the perceived error is yours and the other half is "within tolerance" for the surveyor who set them?
Just saying I tend to examine the limitations of my procedures before calling others work into question.
