Creative ways to mark property lines?

Do you have title insurance?

Update! The Survey owner came out on Friday (with the other two men) and the good news is that we DO own part of the larger creek and we own all of the smaller creek. The first survey men who came out (last Monday) admitted they had "eye balled it" and not actually used the instruments since the woods were too thick! We found old survey marks on trees, plus the former owner told us where to find the metal rod in the creek. They put new marks on trees, new rods down and the orange ribbon too so we can further mark it.

The survey lines that the first men had told us were "property lines" are not - they are easement lines! We still own everything on the front side of the property that we thought, it is just that I will need to move some important plants (my Great-Grandmother's Camellias) to be sure they are never bothered if the other folks exercise their rights to the easement area.

We also "own" a little chunk that is actually the other folks main road to their main gate. It juts out into and across the road. But, it is on a section of my property that I do not use and have no plans to use, and so their road is OK too.

We did go on and put several metal rods (we painted ours a different color to be sure they are distinct from the Survey man's rods) and we have a stack of old tires to put in place with rocks and dirt filling them.

We are thrilled and very relieved. Thank you again for all the good advice, suggestions and links. We appreciate the help.
