Property pins

  • from Marietta (Ohio, United States)

I received a call from someone that lives in town wanting to fence in their back yard.  They wanted to be sure it was placed on their property. Approximately 5 years ago it was surveyed and pins placed, but since then the pins had been covered up completely by the yard. Iron property pins are hard to find because every yard has a lot of iron in it!

I started at the back by the garage where the person was fairly certain a pin was. After a few minutes of finding some junk iron, I found the pin. That gave me the numbers on my detector that I needed. They knew the approximate footage on the width so I stepped it off and found the second and eventually all 4 corners.

I have found several property pins for folks throughout the years along with other metal items like guns and knives. If you have anything metal in the shallow water or in a yard or field, feel free to reach out and contact me

    Good job Steve! These can be tricky when other iron objects are also in the area.
