Although this mark is blue-booked with the NGS, the datasheet is not openly published and therefore not loggable on the Geocaching site.

There are two additional marks mentioned in this datasheet, one to the east (6106), and one to the west (498X) of this mark. All three marks are buried an inch or so below the surface, and have been exposed due to recent surveyor activity.
