I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition although a large piece of the concrete posting has been broken off. The NGS datasheet is adequate for disk recovery, with the only difference being the witness post which is no longer there. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
NGS datasheet info:
