This is why it critical that you work closely with the attorney who has hired you.  Educate them as much as possible before ever getting into the courtroom  Search for the type of oddball questions that could come up and have the attorney prepped for that sort of thing.

In this case, I could look bad for not knowing what that symbol meant.  On the other hand, I could prep the attorney that I have literally worked with thousands of surveys, probably ten of thousands without ever seeing such a note.  Discredit the creator of the plat for being unclear.

Thank you for a bit of rudimentary advise for novices on expert witness practice. As a veteran expert witness with more trial experience than nearly all of my clients, it comes off as defensive and patronizing. 

But that’s off topic. The topic is your belittling Gary’s ingenious cracking of the mystery. Just take it back and we’ll be done with this thread. Let’s stick to Ask a Surveyor, not Ask an Expert Witness.

I take it back.  I take it back.  I take it back.  

Now, we can all move on.

Sacramento County used to put 2 numbers like that usually near the bottom right corner, NAD27 map coordinates. I haven’t seen 2 sets like that before.
