This NGS U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1931 was recovered in good condition. There is an orange carsonite witness post near the station which makes for much easier recovery. This benchmark is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4372'. There is also the elevation stamping of '4372.058' on the disk face, along with the designation and year. The NGS datasheet description is adequate for station recovery. The NGS coordinates are slightly off but my posted coordinates will place you much closer to the station.
