The first time I paddled crooked lake, I saw one and only one. Now, whenever I'm up on the border I see a ton of them. Not sure if new, or if I just easily recognize the subtle shape/size of them along the lakeshores.

Nearly all of the markers along the US-Canadian border are not on the border at all, but are survey markers from which the actual border (almost all on water) can be triangulated.

quote mr.barley: "I noticed that they either replaced the old ones with silvery ones or they painted the old drab colored markers silver."
I thought they were painted. Seemed like over spray around them and no signs of new install - but I only looked at a few last fall.
