I recovered the National Geodetic Survey metal rod in good condition. There is an orange carsonite witness post near the access cover that makes recovery of this station much easier. The NGS datasheet description is very adequate for station recovery. The NGS coordinates listed are very close to this station.
NGS datasheet info:
