Those metal pipes will be on the corners. You will have to scrape and dig around for them. But, they are there. You may have to get the surveyor to come out and find them if you can't find a metal detector. The ones by the street should be the easiest to find.
I liked the idea of using marking paint for a few weeks to delineate the location stakes. Just remember to go mark the area with paint after the lawn is mowed. I go behind the surveyor and replace the wooden stakes with buried four to six inch length of metal pipe.
With a little grace, you might even make a friend. I bet he'll be embarrassed by his geezerly actions. Ask him over for a beer on the veranda. Maybe he's entertaining in other ways. There is always hope.

I use PVC pipe in my yard. Easy to cut and a lawn mower doesn't get damaged if they are up to high.
