This copper bolt is located approximately three miles south of Custer, South Dakota, along the former Burlington Railroad which is now the Mickelson Trail. The center punch was added later. Recent yellow paint has been applied to the top which colored in the stamping. Recovered by Kurt Luebke, Ryan Kearney, and Jerry Penry.
