[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1380321, member: 9198"] Yes, you're right the state of Texas used to specify property description that way, but they don't do it like that anymore. My family used to have a property description that went back all the way to the original Spanish land grant and the way it read was " …ride a fast horse NNW for two and one half hours whence you will come upon an Oak tree leaning over a dry branch. Turn and head to the West for three hours where you will find a limestone rock ….." Interesting reading but not a very accurate way to delineate property corners. The markers described in the original post are called geodetic markers and are used for starting points for future surveys. In Texas almost any piece of metal can be used for a corner marker. Typically, a three foot piece of 1" pipe driven into the ground so that it is just below ground level will suffice. Very easy to find with a metal detector. [/QUOTE]
