Abstract
A flat plate has an opening in the central portion thereof for receiving a plug which is dimensioned to removably fit within the opening. Fasteners such as screw threads, snap fittings, or the like are provided on the plug and in the opening for removably holding the plug in the opening. Two spikes or pegs of unequal length are removably fastened to the plug and project downwardly therefrom for securing the plate to the ground. The bottom of the plate has recessed portions with a pair of clips being mounted in one of the recessed portions for storing the spikes in a safe, convenient location when the marker is not in use. In one embodiment of the invention, two plugs and two openings are used, one for each of the two spikes.
