I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. The datasheet description is current for station recovery with the exception that Hill Rd is now a paved road. This mark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4045' The NGS coordinates should place you pretty close to this mark.
