was one
I was a goverment [county land surveyor] for the water dept
you have to start from a known point
allmost all lots/tracks have pipes set at the corners
some stickup others are buryed
simple first step is walk around and look for pipes
simple metal detector helps if they are buryed [rarely over a foot deep]
most pipes are iron 1 to 2'' diameter and 2 or so foot long
if lot/track is plated get a copy for a few bucks from your county records office
if build on or morgaged there is a survey and pipes in place
also most streets or roads are surveyed and center lines are marked so you can start at the nearest corner if the lot pipes are hard to find
if you can find both pipes on the disputed side
a string /rope line will show the route of the line between pipes
most line disputes can be solved by finding the pipes and showing them to the other party
spend/waste the cash if you must but a simple walk and look may solve the problem
