Well, I was thinking more like maybe it got hit by some piece of equipment and he has some knowledge of it.?ÿ He was saying utilities got run through there.?ÿ I'm not saying it's likely, just saying there might be more to the story is all.?ÿ But yeah, I guess that wasn't a great example.?ÿ?ÿ
@rover83?ÿ Yep, when I was taking my exam in 1979, there were a lot of great party chiefs who had shown up year after year trying to pass the test - which contained required essay answers.?ÿ They weren't bad surveyors, they just lacked communication skills.
I need a red dot detector.?ÿ

@rover83 It has been nearly 40 years since I took the exam but we had 4 hours of written (essay, etc) when I took it.
Take a cat with you.?ÿ It will find the red dot and slap at it like crazy thus gaining your attention.
@joe-b-from-pa
If you look in the comments, he saw that corner get disturbed. Apparently, he also had the line surveyed. (He makes it sound like he hired someone else to do it.) Whoever did the survey didn't move the corner, but this guy knew it wasn't in the undisturbed position.?ÿ
Most Surveyors I know would just kick the IR back to the red dot. ?????ÿ
Property corner (red dot) and property marker?ÿ (capped pin)?????????ÿ WTH is this guy talking about??ÿ I hope he is not a Surveyor!!!!!?ÿ Oh, and yeah, nice quality Home Depot lath!!!
@flga-2-2
i would kick it back after weighing all of the evidence recovered.?ÿ I've never surveyed a single corner.
Today if I click on "Watch on YouTube" and look for comments below the video, I don't find all of the ones that were there before, just a couple added today. Can the originator of the video delete comments or am I confused?
@bill93 Yes, I believe they can delete comments and/or turn off comments. Must have been upset. He got pretty defensive.

If I may speak on behalf of laypersons watching that video, I was gagging for him to sweep around that red dot, and reveal what (if anything) it is affixed to - to the layperson it looks like a neat blob of paint on dirt.
There are few comments still there..

Only ones posted in the last few hours.
Trying to see this from the average property owner's perspective. It's rather confusing in that it throws into question the validity of what might be a long accepted corner that might not be math perfect but is the best evidence of where their common boundary is. To say it's 1.5" off because it might have been bumped throws the entire acceptance into question. I'm trying to recall when in the last 20 years I've found a corner that fits the description math perfectly and it must be like a unicorn. I can't say they don't exist, I've just never seen one. Perhaps it would be best if red dots were reserved for cat videos.?ÿ?ÿ
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
In previous comments, he said he knew a utility had disturbed the monument.?ÿ I wonder if he was just guessing that because it didn't fit the math perfectly.
The only way he could say with absolute certainty that it had been disturbed is if he had tied it before the utility came through and I find that somewhat doubtful and if he used RTK, there's a couple centimeters of uncertainty right there.?ÿ
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
What if I told you that all the corners I located in the subdivision checked within .03'.?ÿ That the house is 0.12' into the setback accepting that monument.?ÿ Holding the calls and the house is on the setback line.
Setback lines and a house not called for are not monuments.?ÿ Combined with the other evidence found they are strong indicators that the monument has been disturbed.
For the record. I would not be caught dead posting a YouTube video about surveying that targeted the public.
