ah-ha. you bring up property/survey pins. . In my first two house we bought there was no pins discussed. however when we sold our last house the bank he had insisted on pins. and I loved it. the neighbor to the north who busted my butt about my bush's on her property was way off. the new pins put us over into the middle of her driveway . now in our neighborhood we see more and more banks insisting on survey pins . which is a very good idea.
