I recovered this National Geodetic Survey vertical control mark from 1983 in good condition, although the designation stamping on the disk face has been scratched off. The NOAA datasheet lists the disk stamping as '1983' even though the monumentation date is listed as '1989'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
