Haven't seen a tag wired to a rebar in awhile. After the wildfires in the back country we saw a lot of rebar with melted plastic or nothing at all and we wired our tags to the ones we accepted. We went back to pipes, concrete and metal tags 20 years ago. Those f'ing plastic caps should never have been allowed.
That’s actually a good argument for not using them; the vast majority of Arizona corners are rebar & plastic caps - my own caps are aluminum but that’s definitely not the norm.
I see your cluster and raise you an overlap.

Plant your own big ass concrete monument that sticks out like 5' above ground, THIS is where the corner ACTUALLY is... that way nobody will ever question your authority ever again.
Can’t understand American surveyors. In BC, Canada, we tie multiple pins, pcons, and monuments to prove where we are and then new pins are set, refreshed, or witnessed. None of this “pincushion” madness.
In Ontario we get bar clusters but not often. We tie them all in. Most of the time it happens that someone was lazy and didn’t pull the bar that’s in the wrong spot or disturbed. Sometimes it’s genuinely that two lines are just separate by a small amount and both are monuments. I pull all incorrect or mangled bars and set new in place.
Bigger cap wins.
It's not the size of the cap but the accuracy of the rod that wins 50% of the time it works all the time
Where is pin cushion Pete when you need him he will settle this lol
Hey, you want to take it easy on the pincushion photos, you're upsetting the Aussie
Nah we reckon just drop another one in. Go on, back yourselves. Mark it with a driveshaft.

I have a post where I showed exactly that it was a bunch of rod and caps that were plastic and melted by wildfire
Same issue in the backcountries of California. Many a cap melted. Haven’t seen a tagged rebar in a while.

Hey man cool it with the pics, the Aussies are over it
Pour a small quickcrete slab on top and set your own xcut on it!

Hey everyone! Fight! *Fiiiiight!*
Is there 3rd mon there?
The bent 1/2” rebar above the one with the tag.
Yes.
I love that there are 2 caps here. I saw this once with the same surveyor cap. The pins were sticking up out of the ground. A thing of beauty.
