I don't often find this situation here. The usual limit is one marker per corner.
Perhaps a double-barrel shotgun was used at this corner.

A monument in desperate need of rehabilitation.
I think you found one of these. ????
That looks like one monument broken in half?
Interesting.?ÿ I would shoot in the two ends, then keep digging all the way to the bottom of both to see what is going on down there.
When I see a slanted bar, for example, especially at a section corner, I start to think there might be a stone and the tip of the slanted bar is directly over the center of the stone.
A few days ago I was chatting with a client about a rural tract that happens to have a 25 year-old concrete county bridge nearby where we were standing.?ÿ I pointed to a power pole about 200 feet away and told him the quarter corner was fairly close to there as I had found a reference nail in that power pole.?ÿ He pointed to a cable warning sign post a few feet from us and said there was a reference nail in it because he had torn his lawnmower tire on it one time.?ÿ I knew that couldn't be a reference that I needed.?ÿ Took a look at what he had found.?ÿ It was the old double nail "step" that the bridge contractors had used for a temporary benchmark.
@brad-ott One pipe has a diameter of 0.08 feet and the other has a diameter of 0.11 feet.
not,
The real corner is wherever you set your interpretation of the "real" corner, right?
I have seen photographic evidence in this very chamber and with my own two eyes of "pincushions".
There has to be at least one of you sons-a-******* out there that would set another point.
Just sayin'.
JA, PLS SoCal
It was the old double nail "step" that the bridge contractors had used for a temporary benchmark.
Educate me, please.?ÿ What does that look like?
You drive a 60d nail at a 45 degree angle into the side of a post/pole/stump so that the head is about two inches from the side of the object. Then you drive in a second 60d horizontally such that its head is resting next to the other head such that the first nail is holding the second nail steady. Voila. You have a handy temporary benchmark somewhere close to your work site that can be referred back to over the life of the project.
The concept of a spike in a pole as a TBM is familiar. This particular form is new to me.
I believe the intent is to support the horizontal nail with the nail driven in at a 45.
