I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1943 in good condition. The datasheet info is adequate for station recovery with the exception that the wooden witness post is no longer there and this benchmark is now located near a telephone pole that is also being used as a fence corner. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4307'. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
