I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey BM from 1930 in good condition. This brass disk is monumented on top of a concrete sidewalk, flush with the surface, on the SW corner of Caveman Bridge that spans the Rogue River. This BM appears on a topography map as 'BM 922'. There is also the designation stamping of 'F 56', '1930' and the elevation stamping of '920.973' on the disk face. The NGS datasheet is adequate for station recovery.
