I have never seen them... But then again I live in Connecticut so actually finding one would be very odd.

The survey marker should be in the ground, likely a metal stake. If it is a survey monument it will likely also be encased with a poured cement casing.

The sign is normally to warn of its proximity, and for workers to be careful to not disturb it. (the sign itself is not a marker - or certainly nothing that would be considered one here).

I think the BM stands for "Bench Mark" Survey Marker.

Correct. I think they have them as signage due to highly dynamic soil.
