We met with our nice neighbor that borders our northeast corner. He has lived there for 20 years and had cleared the area surrounding the corner.  It was a pleasure to stroll through his yard and have him point out the survey marker so that we could put up our gaudy marker.  We were able to drive to the back of his property and mark the corner.

The survey marker to the south of our northeast corner was apparently put in after our survey had been completed as it was not recorded on our survey.  It was in the middle of palmettos that were over 7' tall.  After wandering around for a bit trying to go the 310' from our corner and stay on the property line using a GPS we went right to it. It was lucky for us that it had a fence post next to it or we would have walked right over it without seeing it. We put one of our markers there to make it more visible.

We then went in search of the survey marker just to the west of the northeast corner. Part of the way there was an old trail that had been hacked at magnetic west.  The magnetic deviation is about -5.5° for our area so it was a little off, but it was  about 125' of easy travel.  The next 200' was through granddaddy palmettos.  When we were about the right distance. I looked at the GPS and it indicated that we were a bit to the south of our property line.  After going no more that 20' we came into a cleared path where the corner was. It had a piece of PVC pipe stuck in an iron pipe. We put one of our markers there to make it more visible.

We were able to easily go down the north line and find all of the survey markers that the surveyors had indicated on the survey.

 

The north east corner flagged.JPG (422497 bytes) This is what we have been marking near the survey markers with. They are 15' tall 3/4" schedule 40 PVC with 3 or 4 streamers. They are supported on a 1/2" 5' long piece of concrete reinforcing bar that is driven in to the ground 2'-3'.  I think they look something like a may pole.

We color coded the line poles 5' pink, 5' pink, 5' white  The corners are color coded 5' pink, 5' yellow, 5' white.
