I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey RESET benchmark from 1962 in good condition. It replaces an NGS pipe cap from 1908
(PID NZ0006) which was apparently destroyed.
The benchmark has the stamping of 'BBU 1908 RESET 1962' on the disk face. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
