We were on our way back home after searching for a few marks in Madison Township when I spotted a bright blue disk on a culvert headwall off Moosic Lake Road. Rich found a safe spot to pull over and I investigated the mark. It’s an old PA Dept. of Highways disk without any stamping, but that I later discovered is desginated BM #4 (04-2-1). The description from the PennDOT datasheet is available below.
