I have a pretty good idea just how you found that out.

I always remark the corners with something stout,i have railroad track pushed in the ground on a place i have in fl.
And i also set some big ass rocks near the corners,i'm talking 3000lb rocks.
Everything grows over so fast down here,we need big markers!

ORF, here in Virginia, I have 300A service on the house (320 Amp class meter). 400A is a different meter and more expensive, but nowhere as bad as an installation that requires current transformers. Not sure if GA Power or whoever has those.

Setting property lines by line-of-sight and a machete can be very beneficial to one of the parties. Had a guy in Thailand who encroached on a property line of ours over there. Fought him in the courts for maybe 5 years. He was a government employee and thought he'd just steam-roller a local rube. Little did he know he was dealing with a foreigner. He lost.

I could tell numerous stories wrt surveys and adjacent landowners perceptions of property lines

Corners are rebar and PVC pipe. The "pins" set we're stet were steel spikes...like timber framing nails.

Today I went and bought about 30 T posts from work. Went out and drove T posts at every PVC pipe along the lines and corners. Was careful not to disturb the markers the surveyor had set.

T post drivers are hell on the hands.

I make my post drivers handles with re-bar, so you don't have to
squeeze so much when you are WEARING GLOVES......

Huh. At least he's willing to admit it these days!!

Tim, not sure what colour your posts are, but don't heaitate to paint them a really bright colour. Even t-posts are easy to miss depending on light conditions.

Buy a can of paint and slap some on. It'll make it easier to see for someday down the road.

Green posts with silver tops. Going back with neon orange spray paint so they are easier to see.

What do you folks think about the shop building being in the front of the property and the house being in the back? My reasoning being that I would need little dirt for a flat area for a shop and I want a house with a basement and the back 1/3 of my land runs down hill.
