Had a total grid mapping fail at the old mill site in Lancaster last month
We were setting up a 10-meter grid for a surface survey and I misread the transit by a full degree. By the time we realized, half the team had spent three hours collecting artifacts from the wrong squares. We had to stop everything, re-shoot the base points, and start the day over. Has anyone else messed up a basic setup this bad and how did you fix it without losing the whole day?

Honestly that sounds like a rough morning. Tbh our crew once spent half a day digging test units based on a GPS datum that was still in the truck's coordinate system. Had to just laugh and redo it all.

Ever notice how the simplest tech mix-ups cause the biggest time sinks?
