^^^ Cost will probably be between $350-$700. Just to "find the pins" is basically just as involved as "doing a survey".
my neighbor invaded my property (about 2 foot) and remove my lawn

As for running the line with obstacles (trees,etc.) no problem, with today's technology they shoot an offset in the line and still end up at the correct point.
When I put up my fence this year I still had all the corners marked. I put the fence in a foot or two for a better visual line. I still had the neighbor on that side walk the line I laid out to make sure they didn't have any disagreement on the location.

I bought 23 acres 5 years ago, surveyor wanted $2500 as a "starting" price. Bank did not require a survey, I found the stakes, and did not get a survey.
Be sure you are right before moving forward. A survey may prove you are right, but it may prove you are wrong, and the money will be gone. As already stated, get a metal detector and look for the stakes before doing anything else.

How did he go about invading? Landing craft,foot or jump?

If you purchased the property with a mortgage I guarantee you have already paid to have one done at the time of purchase, but I would guess that in a court of law you would need a current one done. going to locate the stake may not do it, he could have always tried to move it when no one was paying attention even though that is against the law. Unfortunately for you the burden of proof is on you to prove him wrong.

Picked up one of these some time ago just for your purpose. Have used it many times finding pins for neighbors. Also great for finding lost arrows and far flung brass. Oh, yes.. and you can find treasure with it too. A lot cheaper than a surveyor especially if you only need to find 2 pins.

That detector will not work in Cary soils. Wrong polarity. You need a detector made up north.

What are you talking about, Japanese manufacturing doesn't know north from south.

Surveys are frequently not a requirement for financing
Maybe that is the key, it is made in China. LOL
depends on which direction the electrons are spinning,,,,
clockwise it's for northen hemisphere,,,,,,,counter-clockwise is for Southern Hemisphere,,,,,,,

And those only work on the far left side of the property line........
Oh wait! I just moved here from New York!

Edit: We had a 3.5 acre property with four straight sides at angles that are not 90 degrees and with the fifth side following a good bend in the road surveyed in February for $350 in Stokes County. I also needed one side property line marked for it's full length to be sure I had room between a deeded 30' side setback and the septic leach field to ensure that I had the room build a largish shop. Due to the dense scrub brush the surveyors cleared a fair bit of brush to get good sight lines and they marked the other property lines every 50-60 feet with flagging tape anyway.
That survey was a whole lot cheaper than the survey we just paid for in New York for our farm. In our former county the seller was required to have a current survey to close any real estate sale. We had added a seven acre parcel and divided off a five acre parcel so despite having located all of the corner stakes we had to have the whole darn thing surveyed.

And you missed that big time.........
I think all the additional bagel water caused the polarity shift....

Surveys can be very expensive...our property is measured in miles around the outside...just like buying a new car you will never get to drive to survey this place...

we have the same thing going on in my subdivision and one of the neighbors moved the pins.. dug them up.. I think he maybe in trouble since he isn't a surveyor.

He is just not pulling the correct pin.....
I would make sure one is hooked to 220 and the other has something that will go bang when he pulls it.
