+qualsh Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Visiting my dad in South Carolina, and I discovered, what I assume to be some sort of property markers. There are several of them that run along the East side of the property. Each marker is a concrete obelisk-shaped monument that rises no more than a foot from the ground, and is marked with a "PI" on the Eastward facing side of the monument. On the top of the monument is a metal square with either a number engraved into it, or a pair of numbers separated by a line. Does anyone know what these are specifically? Photos are in the links below: http://apps.qualsh.com/images/phone/2013-12-15/IMG1165.jpg http://apps.qualsh.com/images/phone/2013-12-15/IMG1164.jpg http://apps.qualsh.com/images/phone/2013-12-15/IMG1167.jpg http://apps.qualsh.com/images/phone/2013-12-15/IMG1170.jpg http://apps.qualsh.com/images/phone/2013-12-15/IMG1171.jpg Quote Link to comment

+jhuoni Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Parris Island? Based on the location of Beaufort, I would be inclinded to guess PARRIS ISLAND. But then again, I am GUESSING. Quote Link to comment
+Ernmark Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I've seen similar posts & rectangular plates at 2 property corners at a church in PA - only ones I've ever seen until now Quote Link to comment

Yes, very close to Parris Island. I did not think about applying that to the abbreviation, but it's a plausible assumption. The initials all face the direction of Parris Island. Quote Link to comment
+qualsh Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 PI = Point of Intersection? Having gone through a bunch of surveyor maps and documents from Beaufort County, I noticed the correlation to "point of intersection" as well. There are 5 of these markers in a straight line vector, so it's hard to imagine that they are all POI's. It's possible though. Quote Link to comment
