That marker looks newish, but in the older style.

They look very intriging! Extra kudos to any AccyChat Trig Bagger who gets a photo from inside one.

Late to the party as usual, but I've been in many of these

Unfortunately all my pics were on Photobucket here's a link to one of the best ones I've been in, completely intact inside...

There's loads of 'em out there, often not locked, oro locked on the T-Bar only, which is fairly simple to manipulate with a bit of wire allegedly

@Zimbob welcome to the party!!

'Sites of Meaning' marker number 12. Bagging them all is a great way to spend a day out, though some take a bit of finding (this one does in summer)

Thank you! though I'm not sure what the 'rules' are in here - are photos on old mile markers and the like allowed?

 

[Gravity Aided]

Yea, encouraged, even unto the latest generation.

Trig Points, Bench Marks, Old Post Boxes, utility markers.
We may be going up against the TAS, PAS/PSS

This is an Abraham Lincoln "Heritage Trail " marker, at the county line between Woodford County and the County McLean, Illinois. I think it says something like Abraham Lincoln rode this way as part of his duties with the circuit court. This would have been the way to the then Woodford County Court-house at Metamora, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamora_Courthouse_State_Historic_Site
where he once advised a client, a lady who was newly widowed and accused of murder, whose case looked grim, that she might consider taking the waters.
"At Pekin?" she asked.
"No, in Tennessee", Lincoln allegedly said
States did not do much extradition on warrants back then.
The plates seen on the bottom denote which county one is in, on each side.
Circa 1922

It’s really anything interesting found beside, or closeish to, the side of a road, preferably, but not necessarily, with a bike in the photo.

Not many Trig Pillars close to the road though.
