Reply to comment by ElJamoquio in Lead Plates and Land Claims in North America and Europe: When did the practice begin of burying lead plates to establish ownership of land, and why did it die out, and was it ever used successfully in a court of law to establish ownership? by whyenn
Not the one you asked, but continental drift is a very slow process and would likely move all the land around the marker identically, with the net effect of no difference.
An earthquake OTOH would have the definite possibility of moving the marker itself thus changing the boundary lines.
