WATERTOWN, MN – The golden spike was successfully discovered this past Saturday morning (July 18), after a long week in hiding. Chad and Ben Hoppke (a father and son duo) uncovered the spike behind the new elementary school in Watertown. Chad, the father, explained the week of searching. ” I woke up today [Saturday) at 6:30 a.m. and went out with my computer and other technology. I kept refreshing the website waiting for the updated clue. I found it out past the soccer fields… and there it was just sticking out of the ground.” Chad explained that Ben was reluctant to wake up on Saturday morning, but had helped a great deal earlier in the week. For finding the spike, the Hoppke’s will receive $300 in Caleb’s cash, which can be spent at many Watertown businesses.Golden Spike contest clue for July 16
