About This Item

The Golden Spike Geocoin

In 1869 the west and east coasts of the United States of America were finally connected when the last spike was driven into the railroad tracks in Utah. A golden spike was forged to commemorate the final merging of the continent, and a new era of easy transportation from coast to coast was born.

In that spirit this little golden spike would love to travel far and wide. Please keep me moving!

We dropped your Golden Spike not far from where we got it. That's because we thought that an American Geocoin should have visited our famous cheese museum 🙂.

Grabbing back out of the Thames Path T-Junction, as it is just a micro and really wouldn't fit. Continuing it on its journey.
