Readymixer Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 In my hunting I have run across a few metal rods driven in the ground. Some were properly marked and those were typically in a concrete monument or in a covered cylinder in the ground. What about the others I have found that are not marked? I have searched by zip code and can't find them. Could the be corner markers for property or just some random alien rod placement?

+rogbarn Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 They are definitely alien rods. They may look random, but to the aliens, there is a definite pattern. Just don't try to figure it out or it will fry your brain. See what happened to me when I tried it Quote Link to comment
Readymixer Posted January 21, 2003 Author Share Posted January 21, 2003 Good one Rog. As far as the rods I have found I would say that they are closer in resemblence to rebar. No caps or etchings. Rarely there will be an old pice of orange survey ribbon tied on. "Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine." Quote Link to comment
survey tech Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Rebar has gradually replaced iron pipe as the most commonly used material for property corners set by private surveying companies. More are now capped than in the past, but most are still set without any type of cap. Just be careful not to trip and fall on one, people have been impaled that way. Quote Link to comment

+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Are those the ones that have the Astronomical Observation Alignment in reference to their universal grid coordinate space map? When all else fails Geotry again. Quote Link to comment
