<div id="ygrps-yiv-1434414250">Michael Kaufman asked:<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; ...My question is<br/>
&gt; this:  Is the exact tripoint<br/>
&gt; 1. the middle of the marker?<br/>
&gt; 2. the county placed disc?<br/>
&gt; 3. the dimple?<br/>
&gt; And HOW would we know?  I would assume there can&#39;t be<br/>
&gt; too much official paperwork on 4th-level boundaries.<br/>
&gt; But maybe some general set of guidelines somewhere?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>The dimple!  It was likely put there by the surveyor using a hammer and die to<br/>
mark the exact point on the disc where the point of the plumb bob hanging from<br/>
his transit came to rest.  Any subsequent surveyor who measures from the<br/>
monument will center his transit&#39;s plumb bob over the same dimple.<br/>
