I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey BM from 1968 in good condition. This disk is monumented at the SE corner of the admin building to Ashland Airport and inside the corner of a sidewalk. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 1884'. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. My more accurate coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
