Harley Spoon's update to his thread recounting his tree/boundary issue with TXDOT, that is headed to the Texas Supreme Court, inspired this surveyor to start a thread dedicated to all the boundary monuments the OB finds. We have land owners, real estate agents, surveyors, and every other slice of humanity on here pursuing and/or stumbling upon boundary monuments in the outdoors.
Post pictures of what you've found, where you found it, what you think it means, how old it is, and other stories.
First up, a TXDOT disk planted in the side of a tree along US 69 on the north end of Lake Tawakoni. Found in 2022. Original? I think. Where it was meant to go? Solid not likely.
Second offering. An SRA t-iron monument with stainless cap found in 2022 elsewhere on Tawakoni. This was in a ditch that had eroded the soil out from under an elm tree. Its an original monument to a chunk of land the SRA sold back to private owners decades after acquiring more than they needed for the lake. I found another one of these washed out in a roadside ditch on the same tract.
