I recovered this National Geodetic Survey disk from 1984 in good condition. It is located just a few feet east of Hwy 31 along a wire fence. There is an orange carsonite witness post that aided in recovery.
The disk is stamped 'BRATTAIN NO 2' with the years '1948 and '1984' on the face. The lettering of all stamping is hard to read but distinguishable.
The NGS datasheet info from the Geocaching.com website is incorrect for recovery of this AZ mark since the previous AZ mark was destroyed and there's updated datasheet info. Also from the updated datasheet info from 1984, the culvert mentioned is now gone. The updated NGS datasheet info to recover AZ Mark (NY0832) can be found at the link below and reads:
