I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey and State Survey RESET benchmark from 1958 in good condition. It is monumented on top of a concrete pad in the SE corner of the Virginia Street Gymnasium and near a cornerstone. The NGS datasheet description and posted coordinates should place you very close to this benchmark.
