I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. The NGS datasheet is adequate for disk recovery with the exceptions that the road leading NE is gone and the fence line is now south of the benchmark. The witness post is also gone. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
