What does this mean...

This one says 'recoverd' in 1965.. does this mean they removed it and it's no longer there... I went looking for it and couldn't find it.

"Recovered" just means they found it, and maybe improved the description, possibly the Lat/Long coords (?) if better equipment available. If you find it, you "Recover" it! On the US GS website (some months ago), they even solicited reports from ordinary civilians (boy, could they get a bunch this way!)

From casual observation it seems that whent the NGS mounts a benchmark, it's there until it ain't. Document it and forget about it.

And how about 'reset'?

When the marker is missing or damaged, they may "re-set" it, i.e. replace it. It may or may not be in the exact same place. At least this is my theory based on reading a lot of data sheets.

And from what I've seen, the RESET may or may not have a different PID. I've seen some go both ways. Also, sometimes they have reused the same marker, sometimes not.
