Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a counterbore drill bit, pre-cut lead rods of predetermined length, and a tapper tool. The counterbore drill bit includes a stop collar to drill counter bored holes with a first hole portion having a first diameter to a first depth below a surface of a material and a second hole portion having a second diameter less than the first to a second depth below the surface. The lead rods are inserted into the counter bored holes. The tapper tool mashes the second end of each lead rod in the one or more counterbored holes to expand and friction fit then in the counter bored holes. The system further includes circular survey tags insertable into the first hole and fasteners with a head and a shaft insertable through a center hole in the survey tags to retain the tags coupled to the lead rods.
