very likely. it's still in the correct place, but now not subject to movement or damage.
our house in MD, i knew there was a marker in the yard between our house and the neighbor, finally found it one day (i wanted to lay out some edging just so, and stay on the line), sure enough, it was about 2" below the surface, but easy to find with a locating wand.
