New to me, maybe not anyone else. Near a bridge with a stream gauge. This probably won't go anywhere until someone takes out the concrete apron.

Interesting find. I like the hex nut. Does that mean a threaded rod was set first and then the disc was attached? What's the diameter of the disc?

Probably a concrete anchor. Drill a hole, tap the anchor in, tighten the bolt. They are tapered out at the bottom with an expandable collar which expands and grips the concrete.

@field-dog

Honestly don't know for certain.About 2" as a guess. Wasn't part of our scope, just stumbled on it in passing.

It's a fender washer, and you can buy them in a number of sizes. It's a solid little reference mark.

It looks like they deformed the top of the stud to prevent removal of the nut and washer.
