Reply to comment by lunar_unit in Neighbor put up a fence by Inume91

Did you find the steel markers in the ground when they surveyed? When we built a fence, I used a metal detector to find them post having a surveyor mark them in the plat. I wanted to be really sure I wasn’t building a fence on my neighbors land.

Smart that you found them (and cheaper than having a surveyor do it.)

The surveyors exposed our steel marker posts where they could (one was either not present or not accessible) and tied pink tape and put little flags next to them. In one case the marker is at the base of a tree, partially embedded in the roots, 6" below the surface, but they found it.

I never knew about the steel pin thing until I read a thread on here where someone described them. It's a really good thing to know!
