I recovered this US Geological Survey benchmark in good condition. It is imbedded vertically in the NE corner of the Morrill Hall Alumni Center on the campus of the University of Nevada. The disk contains an elevation stamping of '4557.402'. I could not locate any other stamping on the disk face. My posted coordinates and NGS datasheet description will place you very close to this station.
