All,
I have acquired a small amount of deeds to property in the pines where the corners are not exactly known to the owner. I am slowing working my way through them and today Jessica and I spent 4 hours crashing through the woods along the Cave Cabin Branch. Before heading out I was looking over our route to this area, and decided to stop and check out along the way a location where I felt had a high possibility to have a large stone. On the way there we came across one of there corner monuments.
I then thought I had discovered a wooden stake for the property I was looking to find, but after coming home and looking my information over I believe this is a tax line which are shown on the tax maps for the town in question. I never knew they surveyed the tax lines but I will have to check into this. It is hard to explain what I mean anyway.
I found two of them.
Next in line was the possible large stone. There were enough clues in my research to get very close to this location and after walking around for a few minutes I found it hidden in thick brush. It is a large sandstone stone and it obviously has worn away over the years.
Then to one of the property corners I wanted to find. The deed made no mention of a stone and just called it a "point" which means nothing is there. But sometimes in later years the adjacent land owners will place something there on their own. And much to my surprise right in the middle of a swamp we have a Green Acres Monument. This will be a great help in finding the other corners.
The Cave Cabin Branch has some really nice Corduroy Roads and I will explore more of them on my next visit.
And just when we all thought that fall and winter is on the way, I noticed this after Jessica walked right by it.

This is what you look like when you have a snake in your right hand and try to get your phone out of the right pocket with your left hand.
