There used to help relocate the item. Usually ther are 3 or 4 to a benchmark or section etc. Not really used much anymore either. Most counties or other govt. entity will set other survey markers for "witness trees"

I specifically asked him about the wording and he said it actually said "witness tree" and was attached to a tree. I've never seen any mention of anything like that here so I thought I'd mention it. I asked for pictures but he didn't take any. It was down in Arkansas somewhere.
