These are typically used for our Public Land Survey System Section corners, not so much for property boundary corners, they are quite expensive for that!
Thank you David! Looks like a great invention: They seem to be to massive to bend and the strange shape wouldn't make it easy to move them or to pull them out.
The only "disadvantage" I could see is: Less monuments lost would mean less work for surveyors setting new ones. ;-)
Sorry for asking, but what is an harrison monument? I think I've never seen one, probably they are not used here. How do they look like if they are not covered by road pavement?

Hi Tim, Sorry...Here is a link to Harrison's website. They are a cast iron monument that is extremely long lasting. http://harrisonmarker.com/products.html
