What to do?

[SWonder]

I am trying to locate a metal survey pin buried 4-6 inches under asphalt. The roadway was originally dirt. It now has 30+ years of chip and seal on top of that. Any Suggestions?

Possibly an old survey map could be found in the county archives.

I have the survey from when I bought the land and saw the pin at that time. I now need to locate the pin to make sure that all new surveys are from that pin location.

If I have one corner ; I have four.
Anyone want to contest my surveys (I have iron planted when I'm paying) they can take it to court. i know where my corners are! As indicated on survey.

Road monument gets covered I be dogging whoever covered it to indicate where it is at.
I have right of way indicated too at the homestead. Giving me a point to measure toward the road from.

I live in Boone County, Kentucky. I am trying to find out the best method to locate a "known" buried survey marker (metal pin) without having to dig up the road.

You need to find/rent a Magnetic Locator; a magnetic locator is a specialized type of metal detector that measures magnetic fields. They ignore all metals except for magnetic ones. Try your local Miss Dig, they may be able to help..
