An Ontario Department of Highways survey monument along former Highway 20A (now Rymal Road) in Hamilton. Given the recent urban growth in that area, it's remarkable that the survey monument was left untouched.

The number 6 is stamped on the disk. Of course it could also be the number 9, but after checking waymark images for a number of other MTO disks, I believe it to be 6.
As typical, this MTO disk does not appear in the COSINE or NRCan databases.
