Pin Cushion of the Day
Posted by field-dog on June 14, 2021 at 11:43 pmWe held the 4″x4″ CM because it’s an original platted corner.

It’s too grainy for full appreciation.
But, I get it intellectually.

They use tubing for property monuments?
Looks like some helpers the property owner drove in the ground to help recover the real one.
I hope you removed the two “monuments” that you didn’t hold.
Typical $175 survey for title companies. Prevalent everywhere in Fl. We are not a recording State so it??s hard to catch these disgraces to our profession. ????
One corner; one monument, make it so:
Seriously, surveyors set junk like that? If it was from the 50’s or earlier I get it, but modern day surveyors are out wild, in the field, setting something like that?
Then they pin cushion one piece of junk with another one,,,,,,no record of either I would imagine.
Is that a giant coral snake slithering into the frame?????

Just saw a 1/2″ pipe inside a 1 1/2″ pipe, that was next to another 1/2″ pipe. And I mean right next to it, couldn’t even get the flagging in between the two of them.
They’re all flush with the ground, so it’s not like one of them is just a witness
That’s almost like a Survey Turduken…..
Exactly!
What do I do?
Hold the original. Yeah, some will say the iron rod holds, but I don’t have enough information to make that determination. But if that is a barren piece of ground as shown, with a bare iron rod, I hold original monuments and set new pins on the lines, at the midpoints. Might pound the iron rod below grade, might remove, might leave as is. Depends on information not available in sketch.
Show everything and narrative with what I did and record survey.
-All thoughts my own, except my typos and when I am wrong.No. Not at all. Anyone can set an iron rod. If it doesn’t have a record and doesn’t have a cap AND doesn’t have any evidence of occupation (in other words, conditions are as shown on your sketch), then that iron rod isn’t a monument to the corner (IMEO).
There are circumstances where I would hold it as an offset on the east west line (again, assuming that it was set as part of the subdivision of the two lots), or as marking the true corner, or I might pull it and throw it in the trash…but the facts necessary for any of those is not evident. Given the facts I know, I made a decision. And it is a right one…perhaps not the only right one!

Excuse my ignorance, what is a recording state? Are you serious, $175? Is that for a proper 2-hour mortgage survey done in 45 minutes?
MHThe tubing or fence posts, as some of you are calling them, have not been located. We haven’t pulled them and do not plan to.
