I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey tidal benchmark from 1920 in good condition. This BM is also listed on a topography map as 'BM M 34 777.0'. The NGS datasheet's last good log is adequate for recovery. The NGS posted coordinates are way off but my accurate coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
