What Happened To Silver Spike
Reno Nevada reports detail the legend of the Nevada silver spike tied to the first transcontinental railroad. The spike was presented to California Governor Leland Stanford after the May 10 1869 ceremony. It vanished, with many insisting it lies in Stanford University Museum while a 500 reward spurred searches.
