I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1932 in good condition, although the disk face has been banged up over the years from whatever. The disk is monumented on a low lying boulder in the front yard of a private residence. This disk also shows up on a topography map as 'BM 4236'. The NGS datasheet is adequate for station recovery. My more accurate coordinates shall place you very close to station.
