Default Lot line marker

I need to find my lot line marker and I am thinking someone with a metal detector would be able to do this. Does anyone have an idea to help me. Thanks.

Perhaps, an easy solution, we have a survey we got it with the purchase of our home.
You can purchase a copy at minimal cost.

If the survey rod isn't buried too deep you can find it with a magnet. We just moved in so ours wasn't yet buried too deep. I used a stud finder to locate ours. Of course a metal detector is much easier.

Thanks for the helpful information. We have a very strong magnet, but has not helped. So stud finder is next, then we will do the survey.

We live north of 466 — Marion County — up by Mulberry Grove. Does anybody know whether the developer put in 4 metal rods for the corners of the lots as a standard practice? My experience is the rods often get pounded into the ground over time and disappear. Alternatively, I’ve seen markers placed and originally driven into the ground below surface level. It’s pretty apparent the property lines around our yard ard and I’m just wondering what the original system might have been.

A copy of your lot survey plan should be in your closing documents. I had to dig thru ours to find it because it was a single page.

Actually the strong magnet I used was in the stud finder.

There is a metal detector club, and as I recall they can help doing this.

If you don't have to be 100% accurate the two front corner irrigation heads are pretty close to your boundary, at least in Fenney they are.

Village Tinker : This was the information I was hoping to get. I will see if I can find anyone from the club.

Someone in a former post mentioned the metal detector club and gave a link to a list of clubs. I can barely read it because it's so small, but it looks like the contact is Larry Miller. I can't seem to make it any bigger. Looks like tvmdc.weebly.com

There is a plus and minus sign at the top of the page where you can make the print larger or smaller.

Survey will only help if two pins are located

And North of the border too. Clean water in one side, dirty water the other side.

Call a Surveyor. There is no physical marker of your property line buried underground.
