I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1942 in good condition. It is a brass disk monumented on top of a square concrete monument projecting about 10 inches above the ground. The monument is behind a metal fence in a private yard to a residence and near a telephone pole. This disk is also listed on a topgraphy map as 'BM 491.8'. My posted coordinates will place you very close to this mark.
