I am a Land Surveyor and my jaw dropped when they took THE ORIGINAL STONE out. A Cardinal Sin in my book.
We set a new monument in place of the stone, inverted the stone and buried it next to the new monument and called it out in the land corner recordation certificate. We also left the majority of the crockery/glass in place and only took a few pieces home. I just didn't film the entire process because I wasn't planning on making a whole video of it.
Scripture: Remove not the ancient landmark. It fits, right?----- Title examiner.
Very cool.
Oldest I came across was a monument from 1902, iron pipe with a brass cap set in a curb.
Very cool to see todays process. Thank you! Although, in 1976 -1981, when I worked for a county surveyors office in Indiana and two private surveyors, the tools were chain, site rod, transit, shovels and gas powered jack hammer. Ah... the memories. Nothing like a jack hammer ringing in your ears. No better feeling than digging up a perfectly good paved road on a hot day to spark drivers to share creative comments while you do your job locating cornerstones. We used the high point of the cornerstone unless an "X" was carved in the rock. Fun days were walking along railroad tracks looking for RR spikes (a few buckets full) to be used as witness points or spending the day cutting scrapyard steel plumbing pipe to various lengths for placing over newly found cornerstones. I enjoy watching your videos so keep up the good work!
So why did you quit?
I land surveyed for 20 years in Michigan and did my share of remon. Found two from late 1800s 4ft down and exactly the way they were described
Fascinating stuff! I was very drawn to drafting in high school in the 80's. I wish I would've followed it.
It's like someone directly handing you the glass only over 150 yrs of time. That was really neat
Awesome finds!
Great explanation for perpetuating the monuments. your videos are good! Keep up the good work.
What happens if stone is off per GPS by several inches....or feet? Which prevails?
So the glass was simply to identify that the stone you pulled up was the exact stone they buried, because it's got the unique identifier of the glass or porcelain or crockery below it?
Yup. I think that’s the main reason
What do you guys use at your place to database your survey work/information?
Was that a land lot line corner?? That glass was a 8 sided umbrella ink bottle 1870s
I have completed my geomatics engineering 5 years ago and i have worked around 4 years in surveying and mapping field. Can we connect?
Mind if i ask you what your educational pathway was ?
Why do Americans place their marks so close to the surface? In Australia we've used Iron rods buried at least 300-500mm under the ground for each 'block' IP for over 150 years - each of these IP's have reference marks ( the same type of iron rods) also buried 3-500mm underground. It's not usual - though not uncommon - to see rods from the late 1800's all rusted up and bulbed out.
Why are monuments in the middle of the road? Seems so unnecessary and inconvenient
The section corners came first when the land was originally divided. Then trails and later roads followed section lines for convenience.
