Only a small section of the disk remains. It appears as it has been hit multiple times while mowing the grass. MA0518 Dubois Triangulation disk.

"Only a small sliver of the disk remains and a sizable part of the concrete post is also missing. Both reference marks were searched for and found in good condition. The Azimuth was found in poor condition."
I found both reference marks in good condition but did not search for the Azimuth.
