I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey and State Survey station from 1934 in good condition. This station is monumented on top of a square concrete monument, flush with the surface of the ground. There is a green metal witness post to aid in recovery. This station is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4221'. The NGS datasheet info is adequate for station recovery (I've edited changes in red). My more accurate coordinates should place you close to this station.
