IF you have these in your yard:
I actually took these pics, in the garden, of a retired surveyor!
Any other quirks of a retired surveyor?
Nate:-)
At least he capped them....
I thought, for a minute, that you'd found a new use for those "extra" pincushion monuments you've been finding.
Have a great Sunday with the Family, Nate. Don't forget to count all those blessings today.
;o)

i tried to use rebar for tomato stakes one year but they killed my plants. maybe the rust or something from the metal leaching into the soil?
He might be a retired surveyor, or he might just have found these "useless" stakes around the neighborhood and decided to put them to a good use. I don't think most surveyors would re-use a stake, even one legitimately pulled, and leave a cap still on it.
I have a neighbor down the street that took out one of his property corners and it is now holding up a small tree in the front yard. I just laugh everytime I go by.
Bill, he is a personal friend. And, they are his stakes.

I know one of my stakes is no longer in the ground where it belongs. A nice corner post is setting there, about two feet away from an old power pole with my stake sticking, horizontally, out of it about five feet above ground level.
oh gee someone might think you surveyed a sideways piece of land or maybe you confused your Zenith Angles with your Horizontal Angles LOL.
When you put new tires on your survey buggy.:-P
