I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1943 after seeing it listed on a topography map as BM 4213. The disk is in very good condition considering there has been much grading and soil erosion in this area. The fenced mentioned in the datasheet no longer exist and the rocky cairn mentioned has been graded flat. There are some rocks surrounding the disk and a green metal post that helps in recovery.
