I was told by my 87 year old neighbor, a few years after her husband passed away, that the ditch they dug was on the property line. I told her that the stake from when I had the place surveyed in 1999 was at the base of that pine tree. She said, nope, it is right about here... pointing to the ground. I called a friend of mine who does a little surveying for a living. He came out, and sure enough that stake was right where the 87 year old Lady said it was. Dang I really hate to be wrong, lol!
My backyard fence is about 3 foot over on the property line on the other side. When the new neighbors cleared the property, I offered to buy that 3 foot, but "it's not for sale"! Now there are 3 trees right up against the power line and cable line that are dead. The cost to have those 3 removed will probably exceed the value of the 3 feet of property.
