At this point, which is more likely? A sloppy backsight setup combined with a total station on maladjusted legs, or a bad fix with GNSS. I know my op...

Just had a 2-bit rebar arguement. Plat has all the corners monumented with 3/4" iron pipes with caps. They show up on multiple surveys, including min...
