on the survey, these will be noted as either "IPS" - iron pipe set (placed by the surveyor), or IPF - iron pipe found, obviously set in place by a previous surveyor.

We have those yellow caps at 3 corners of our (trapezoidal) property. I suspect that the 4th one is buried a bit. When we had the property flagged for utility locations prior to some digging last Spring, one of the guys was nice enough to wave his locator around the area where I think it is & said there was definitely something there. If I get ambitious someday, I'll dig down a little & see if I find a corner marker. It's the only one of the 4 corners that's in grass & gets mowed, so I wonder if a previous owner may have pounded it down below the surface.
