One last tool to find property line markers and boundary line pins. Buy IT Here (paid link): amzn.to/3cpSV8J My adventure survival novel: amzn.to/3bPXOqR
Hire a surveyor,,becasuse the first pipe or rod you found was a pipe your neighbor drove in to tie his dog to,the second one was moved 4' by your neighbor three days after the surveyor put it in the right place so his shed wasn't on your land,the next rod 6 feet to the north was a stake for a trap by a fox trapper 50 years ago,the next two stakes 40' apart was an old horse shoe pit,after 42 years of surveying you'll never know what you'll find....
So if I found one of my property line pins using it's gps location that I got from my counties parcel map it could still be wrong?? The pin I found was within six inches of it's gps location and was also placed in the ground approximately 101 years ago.
I've had problems with the guy next door cutting part of my yard for the pass ten years.I wanna put up a two rail fence and some tree's so I don't have to look at him when I'm in my driveway..How much does a survey cost?
Well they gave us it CPC INC would be $ 2500 for all four corners. We can't afford that. Whats more important property taxes or a survey. then some son of a bitch neighbor pulls out your stake after you would shell out all the money for a new survey. because the neighbor might have another vision were the property line is and before you know it your in a big fight arguing over property footage.
In north Texas (DFW area) for a standard sized recently platted lot (60’x120’) a lot stake might run about $250 to $300 as long as the plat is not too old. This is with no improvements shown other than any fences or other things on or over the lot lines. The much older subdivisions (60-150 years or more) are all to often serious headaches and could cost $1800 or more for a single lot.
I just bought that tool … but still can’t find the last pin in front of my house … is that near side walk or farther in ? My back hurt by scanning the entire front yard 😂…pls help
Sorry I just seen your post. If I were you, I would go online to the county public records and because you mentioned sidewalk there is probably a plat or map online that shows the street width or R/W width. I would measure half of the from the center of the street to see where that falls in relation to the sidewalk. For me it is 30 feet from the center of the street. Good luck hope this helps. Then again it just be gone.
Sir, the corner with the white ribbon was placed by a real surveyor and should be the correct corner. Surveyors use white to mark corners and pink s for temporary markers.
I have surveyed in several states. (Not all of them certainly) Never seen white survey flagging being used for noting property corners. In fact in all of the states I have worked in - day glow pink and Orange are the most common colors used flagging for property corners.
Surveyor here, we mainly use pink flagging for everything boundary related. I use orange to stake out any building stk/out. Others use pink for corners found and orange for new rod set. Just depends on preference of the surveyor.
Ground naturally moves over time. Property markers can move many feet away from their original position. Just take a look at the movement of fault lines in earthquake prone areas. The land is always moving. I noticed my land moves over the years from just rainfall soaking into the soil and the ground raises and lowers. Get a professional to know for sure where your correct property lines are regardless of what any existing pins say. I'm not a surveyor, just a regular sap who is in a dispute with his neighbor and wants concrete undisputable evidence before I walk into a court room. Do your homework properly and you will win an A every time!
Get a professional is a very good idea! Wowsers: in all my five decades of land surveying I had not noticed property corners moving all over the place by several feet before. Some of that time was spent in a very earth shifty area called California in the Bay Area. That said could earth movement (earthquakes, mudslides, sink holes, etc) displace a property corner? No question, yes it could. Is it common? nope… never seen it happen like that. But I suppose it is possible. Did watch one disappear into a huge heat induced crack in the ground in Texas though. It went deeper though, not horizontally. I stuck my 4 foot long shovel in and it went all the way in. If I had not held onto it I have little doubt Ida been buying a new shovel that day.
no property corners (pins) do not move several feet over time. not even many inches. at least not on their own, by themselves. if disturbed then yes, possibly or maybe even probably ( definition of disturbed). usually an inch (yes, I know, a "tenth") or so. maybe feet if yanked out and "re-set" by someone with I'll intent (a scheming neighbor perhaps). maybe in an earthquake along a fault-line. but otherwise, sorry, no, it just isn't so.

love it! thanks for the comments.
Thanks for the info, I would have never thought....holy moly....
Good job
What is the maximum depth at which you can detect iron bars buried in the ground with that instrument? Many thanks.
I don't know to be honest. I suppose though it depends on the type of soil.
8 ish inches
nice little shovel with saw tooth where'd ya get that?
Metal detector supply site.

I'm only asking because I would prefer avoiding having to pay $1500 for a survey..
Was it a handheld GPS unit or a survey grade GPS unit on a plumbed pole?
It was a hand-held GPS. But the pin was almost exactly where it said it was.
That’s incredible! So you are all set now? You only needed the one pin?
Thank you, lol I was pretty pumped to find it right away.

All depends on your legal description. Get that and start calling around.

Just talked to a surveyor today. He said minimum charge for us in East Tennessee is $600
I just found my grass behind my garage in alley dug up to reveal my property marker and I have no clue who dug it up or why.
Probably someone using it to verify other property corners down the alley.
the white one is the correct one.
I just bought that tool … but still can’t find the last pin in front of my house … is that near side walk or farther in ? My back hurt by scanning the entire front yard 😂…pls help

Which one is right? The deeper one.
In this case yes. The deeper one was the correct one. It matched all the other corners for correct position. Thx for watching.
@@TommyBoy3D thanks for sharing your video. Going to use it find our property line just waiting for the county office to open tomorrow morning :)

Find the one that give you the most property and pull the other one out of the ground. Problem solved. 😂
looks like something for the ladies, Ha Ha!
:-O haha
You should have adjusted the volume for the high pitch scream that the pin pointer keeps making! Just my opinion of course.
Thanks for watching. I take it you meant the video volume as the pin pointer has no volume control. Yes I should have done that and thanks again!
Yes, the audio track with your video.
Hi how deep where the steaks under the grass
6" inches.
Did you see it in 2D?
And winner for the worlds most annoying sound!
hahahahah! absolutely annoying! I agree!

So it's an expensive little metal detector.
The typical metal detector used by surveyors runs closer to $900-$1,000 new
The annoying beeping is louder than the voice.
