There it is

I have mowed this large field for several years. I know about where the hazards are. I am driving slow looking for the 8 inch cement pipe with a cast iron top about 10 inches high, in the weeds I found it, and cut cut around it with the mower. A little while later I hit it square on. Busted the cement, and the cast iron top. I know I messed up a few flail mower blades. I just kept mowing, have to wait to get home to replace a few blades. I have no idea what it is for, out in the middle of a large field. I am thinking maybe a soils test hole. This field is probably 15 plus acres with no rocks, then I hit this thing. Any of you do anything like this?
The field is giving my JD 401 b a good workout, most weeds are 4 ft, some over the tractor hood. The mower is doing a good job of mulching the weeds. Stan
 
abandoned plugged well, prolly oil & gas well. Natural gas has no odor til they add skunk oil to it so you would not smell it but it may light up the country if you make a spark.
 
I do the same thing. Mark obstacles, cut around them, then wack the stew out of them. I cut several yards and used to keep spare dog tie screw things in the truck. Finally people got rid of them.
 
Weeds are 4 ft tall and pipe inches tall.
I would drive in a fence post near the pipe with a flag on it..

I installed a well at a rental property in the front yard. I put a pile of rocks around it to keep the lawnmowers from hitting it.
So far the rocks are working..
 
If your mowing for a few years why doun't you put some markers up so you can see it cost nothing and end of your problem.
