1. A marker holder assembly comprising:
- a marker holder comprising;
a clamp;
a holder directly attached to the clamp; and
wherein the clamp is attached to a buried pipe, the buried pipe covered by a burying material, the clamp extending around the pipe;
a unitary marker held within the holder, the marker extending away from the clamp and the pipe, wherein the holder defines an aperture extending along a lengthwise axis through which the marker is slidably received, the marker having an outer width that is less than an outer width of the holder such that the marker, at its outer width, is slideably received into the aperture; and
wherein a distal end of the unitary marker extends beyond the burying material, and a proximal end of the unitary marker is within the aperture beneath the burying material.

8. A worm clamp marker holder assembly comprising:
-
a worm clamp, the worm clamp comprising a band, a captive screw connected to a first end of the band, and a pattern formed into the band that is interfacable with the captive screw, wherein upon interfacing of the second end of the band with the captive screw, a rotation of the screw passes the band across the captive screw; a holder directly attached to the band; wherein the worm clamp is attached to a buried pipe, the buried pipe covered by a burying material, the band extending around the pipe; a unitary marker held within the holder, the marker extending away from the worm clamp and the pipe, wherein the holder defines an aperture extending along a lengthwise axis through which the marker is slidably received, the marker having an outer width that is less than an outer width of the holder such that the marker, at its outer width, is slideably received into the aperture; and wherein a distal end of the unitary marker extends beyond the burying material, and a proximal end of the unitary marker is within the aperture beneath the burying material. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
