I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey BM from 1935 in good condition. The NGS datasheet is adequate for station recovery. The GPS coordinates are way off, my posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
NGS datasheet info:
01/01/1935 by CGS (MONUMENTED)
01/01/1967 by NGS (GOOD)
