Here’s how you can get Golden Spur in the game:

Defeating Monsters

By unlocking Combat Mastery, you’ll be able to obtain trinkets in Stardew Valley. One primary way to find trinkets like the Golden Spur is by defeating monsters. You’ll find them lurking in the shadows of Mines, Skull Cavern, or the Quarry Mine.

Breaking Stuff

While you’re in the Mines, don’t just rely on defeating enemies to obtain the Golden Spur. Make sure to break as many crates and barrels as you can. These objects may be hiding the trinket you’re looking for. You’ll find these crates and barrels spread throughout the Skill Cavern, Mines, and Quarry Mines.

Don't forget to visit Treasure Rooms in the Skull Cavern as they have a great chance of holding trinkets such as the Golden Spur.

Daily Luck

Watch out for your daily luck, as that affects the rate at which the game drops certain items. Wait for the Fortune Teller to tell you good daily luck. This allows you to have the best luck stats. Consume dishes that offer luck to max out your stats.
