- Rett Harmon and Brooke Tolleson walk a property to find property pins using a metal detector. Rett and Brooke are not surveyors, and do not advise drawing up a survey map yourself when selling your house. This video is to give you an idea on how to find property corners incase its needed for minor situations. If you are wanting to survey your land be sure to have a professional find the lines and corners if it is for putting up a fence or looking to make alterations to your land.

Hey y'all! I'm a full time real estate agent located west of Atlanta, in Carrollton, Georgia. I actively list and sell homes, land, and commercial properties every day with the help of my amazing team and brokerage. This channel is a way for me to give back through leading and demonstrating examples of professional video, as well as iPhone and GoPro content.
This is not your typical lame real estate channel!
We all have random hobbies and interests that we can share to earn the trust of the people that we want to do business with. It is also my goal with my team Century 21 Novus Rettro Group to market ourselves around random things, topics, or ideas that often have nothing to do with real estate. The majority of these videos have been filmed by James Paul of Schiller Productions.

With some surveys now that GPS is so accurate, you dont get a pin unless you request it and pay extra.
Thank you for the feed back, this will be so helpful to some viewers!
Having a pin is always better. No pin = having to call the surveyor back each time the corner needs to be referenced.
What does that even mean?
GPS has nothing to do with whether you hire a surveyor to set monuments or not. GPS is a method of measuring, nothing more
@@jpmacoo as I said before, the pins cost someone more money. Just a statement.
@@chrismalchoff7552
As I said, GPS doesn't mean anything, it's just a tool. If you only want a line marked with stakes, it will be less expensive than setting iron rods/pipes, etc.
Not sure what your overall point is here, except that more time and effort equals higher cost. It's pretty simple, and not unlike most things in life.
When surveying, the distance is straight up and over to get the actual distance. It’s like the way a crow fly’s and not the distance on topography.
GREAT VIDEO THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. THANK YOU GUYS!!
Thank you for watching and leaving us a comment!
If there is any more questions you might have let us know we'd love to try to make a video of it!
I couldn't find any place in the video where the metal detector was actually being 'used' to find the iron survey pins. It looks like a Garrett, but what settings are you using to specifically detect the iron?
Very cool. Unfortunately, my property is old enough where the original survey used redwood stakes.
The problem I seem to have is tree roots setting off my metal detector. Cedar trees seem to be exactly where my pins should be. All I can find are tree roots.
Thanks guys great help and Thanks Brooke looking well thick as hell. God bless
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.
Are the property line apps like regrid accurate? The property behind my house was surveyed. The lot is a bit wider than mine so the surveyor found one corner of my property and put a stake in my backyard with a pink ribbon on it about 100 ft from the marker. I suppose that stake is along the line but according to regrid it's about 5 ft off. I'm going to buy a metal detector and find my other corner.
Unfortunately property line apps aren't the most reliable, they can be used to get a general understanding but they wont be on the money and can't be used in court if property lines are being disputed.
Damn cameraman I wish you would have them that from the back
Thanks for the video. What is the name and model of your metal detector
I have been under the impression from other videos pink tape is for a temp marker and white is official. That may not be true but something to verify. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for the input, I'll have to do a little more digging and get back to you on this.
@@RandomtoRealEstate I see what you did there 👍
My pins are marked with whatever colour happened to be on hand. Some survey firms use particular patterns/colours to distinguish their work from others. Also to mark different properties.
@@francoistombe
Somewhat true. I've always used orange. Other places use pink. Some places use red and white. It varies, for sure
Some place follow construction colors; red would be electric, pink is survey marker, white is proposed excavation, orange is communication, green sewer, blue water
Out in the country, have checked the court house no registered survey. Neighbors on both sides dispute the location of property lines. And it was hinted that pins were pulled, so now what would be my next step?
This would be the time to hire a surveyor, they will both find the lines and register the property with the courthouse. We hope this helps!
Hire a surveyor and a lawyer and have your check book ready.

Would you expect either to work for free?
You're looking to have your biggest investment located on the ground, so you can see and use it to its fullest extent. Something that you can't do yourself with certainty.
Your property cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you don't know where its boundaries are. Why would you expect that to be only a few hundred dollars?
People who mess with the property stakes do it during the night hours when know one would see what there doing. Some people don't believe another persons survey is correct and that the surveyor hired was doing it in there favor rather than the neighboring property owners so they might think the surveyor gave them some of there neighbors property.
Didn't see you show how to use a metal detector to find the stack. She walked 12 steps with a wheel and done. Not useful at all.
At least he have beautiful assistance

What if someone moved the marker's
Unfortunately, if the markers have been moved. It becomes much harder to determine and will need to hire a professional to find the spots and replace the markers.
Moving or removing the marker is a crime in my state and probably in yours as well.
A favourite trick of boundary fiddlers (and still be "legal") is to pound the pins way down into the ground so they "disappear". While still being there.
A man experienced the seller moving his property stakes after it was surveyed, bcz someone said ur acre should be bigger than that new owner had it surveyed, he did own more property, he owned a chunk of a dirt road outside his wooded property.
Did she take the measuring wheel theory and safety class?
That’s a short 143 lol
I work in Land Surveying. I can answer most questions
What’s the best method to find pins
@@galaxykodeentstreetmuzik5259 so much for answering questions huh....nobody fux for free....
Not good! You did not show finding the pin with a metal detector. You merely lectured on the importance.
Yes, we are not certified in finding property lines. To actually find property lines you would have to enlist the help of a certified property surveyor. This was a video to help if you are needing to argue a minor and insignificant dispute not a major legal battle, for that you'll need to hire a professional. We hope this helps you find your property lines!
@@RandomtoRealEstate Perhaps the title shouldn't be "How to look for property pins with a metal detector" then?
If you are marking corners for property you own for your own information that is one thing, but if you do so for the selling of your property to another person then you are performing land surveying without a license. That is against the law
Just because you find a pin, doesn't mean that is exactly where it goes....it may have been moved. Hire a professional.
This^^^^ there’s a reason registered surveyors go to school for years to determine proper boundaries
It's a good place to start right?
I was quoted 1200 dollars for a survey to find my stakes...and that was if they did it in 6 instead of 8 hrs...... another was 850.... very expensive for most people
Good advice. Makes it legitimate, too.
@@user-oh7ds8pm1o: Cheaper than having to go to court with attorney fees.
@@user-oh7ds8pm1oyeah. By a Professional Land Surveyor who has a license to survey, $40,000-$100,000 worth of instrumentation and liability insurance.
no help, everyonn starts with a reference to mesure from..
I'd like to find a survey marker with Brooke. Hubba hubba!
You didn't show how to use a metal detector at all. Most certainly not to find capped iron pins. 🤣
Aaah girl! Soo pretty. Right now I'm off the line.
I’m straight up I use a yard stick to measure 📏
This lady is co cute
It's impossible to hear what you're saying because you're not close enough to your phone and it's very hard to follow
This video has NOTHING to do with a metal detector locating a property pin!!!
Apparently you need to sell more real estate. No realtor I know ever took a chance looking for property corners outside of your profession to build anything. What a joke!!
