I love this part of the hunt, knowing kind of where it's hidden and worried that you'll log in and see that someone has found it before you have.

Has anyone been reading Jim Walsh's hunt diaries lately? They kinda help narrow it down. Itsinmypocket now - 01:38pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4802 of 8457)
I think it is hidden on the sidewalk across from the bathrooms: I know you're saying that its all dug up, but there are two clues that point right to, it: The one that said 'will you be the lucky one' means the three 7s posted right on that building. The pace clue means on the sidewalk think about it if you know CP. Deb Speidel - 01:39pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4803 of 8457)
did everyone leave?????? Itsinmypocket now - 01:39pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4804 of 8457)
Joe, Jim Walsh's columns are just there to throw the novices off. He's still saying that the med is at mounds! Close but so Far - 01:40pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4805 of 8457)
That is a pretty interesting idea, go for it. I know where you are talking about, and it is dug up, but you never know! Greg Sax - 01:41pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4806 of 8457)

The Rosebud might stand for a Altoids container because it has a Rosebush on the front The Artist Formerly Known as Joe Medallion - 01:47pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4817 of 8457)
I warned all of you! You have 15 minutes to leave Cherokee Park, or I will destroy the city!!!! LEAVE NOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! MedallionHuntMAN - 01:50pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4818 of 8457)

Actually, someone discovered earlier that its not a rosebush ao the altoids box, its a mint plant in bloom. Any other ideas? MedallionHuntMAN - 01:50pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4821 of 8457)

MAybe the clue writer identified it as a Rosebush? Close but so Far - 01:55pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4824 of 8457)
I'm twenty-one. Why? Some folks were saying the rosebud clue has to do with the medallion being hidden in a pasta box. I guess there is a company that uses a rosebud as a symbol??????? Deb Speidel - 01:56pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4825 of 8457)
that is a good thought, but dont you think that is a little early to reveal that kind of info????? i dont know i havent found it yet either!!!! GOOD LUCK!!! Itsinmypocket now - 01:57pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4826 of 8457)

I am watching you fools try to figure out something you will never find. You might as well try to guess the Powerball numbers. It's not about figuring it out. We all know it's at CP the rest is dumb luck. It could be in something(container) or nothing at all. Your best bet IF you insist on looking is to GO to the park....pick a spot that is not so dug up and dig... The New & Improved Joe Medallion - 03:15pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4926 of 8457)

you're gonna be real gone as soon as the authorities catch wind of your comments they will be hauling you over to the federal building
for some questioning in regards to your statements about bombing
you see since Oklahoma City jokes in public about bombing are no longer considered jokes, its like being on a plane and proclaiming
you have a bomb in your luggage ...... Winslow Westsider time to grow

I'm thinking that we could be looking for an actual key, and possibly unlocking a door to the bathrooms at CP. But right now I'll believe about anything. New and Improved??? :) :) huntandfind - 03:18pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4931 of 8457)
Thats an awesome idea pocket, have they ever done anything like that before though? Wes Evans - 03:19pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4932 of 8457)

I haven't heard anything about the clue " inmeasurable" But it says "almost Immeasurable" which tells me that something needs to be measured or something... ShovelBoy - 03:24pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4942 of 8457)

Cherokee definitely seems like the place, but is there even an inch of ground that hasn't been dug up yet? As far as the big green chair at the other end of the High Bridge goes, I was there last night with about 25 other people and we scoured. Not saying it still couldn't be there, alot of the clues fit that sight perfectly, but then again, as always, some don't. Deb Speidel - 03:25pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4943 of 8457)

Logical Man, it's not very logical to lie when your statement can be quickly diproved by a quick call to the paper.... which has been done. The medallion wasn't found. Mr. Tomski - 03:33pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4957 of 8457)

I am still leaning towards the running path theory. They haven't plowed it all winter. Is tha because they don't have cash or is it because of the Winter Carnival? Logical Man - 03:34pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4959 of 8457)

Folks, as I said in the wee hours of this a.m. - Casey has never let us down; he'll tell us if it's found. (he, he, he!!!!)
And w/the way you jokers are making hash outta a dead horse and clogging up the server with it, I'm SURE Casey will be more than happy to tell the Cooler WAY before it's posted on the Web page and the sign on the front door is turned over... so he can have some peace and quiet!!!!!!!
QUIT CALLING THE PRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!!! You guys screw around and make them not have The Cooler for the clues in subsequent years, you're gonna smell worse that dead horse you're beating!!!! LEAVE THE PAPER A-L-O-N-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark Schletty - 03:41pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4964 of 8457)
they have this medallion hidden well. It seems that with hundreds of people almost constantly at the park for the last few days, SOMEONE would accidently come across it.

If that's true than it wouldn't be sitting on the path. The person who actually hides it wouldnt have known that the path wasn't going to be plowed? AMD - 03:59pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4985 of 8457)
You can see the stack and the church from the batrooms. Closest to the street. You can also see the 777 address on the side of the bathrooms (lucky). Pugsley Adams - 04:00pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4986 of 8457)
I think that the large object in view is the cathedral, and that is all that they are revealing. The code that has to be cracked is the mode/demo thing , the dome of the cathedral. If you get that you find out about the cathedral. Mr. Tomski - 04:03pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4987 of 8457)

mounds park is not the same and cherokee park was todays clue Rob Norris - 04:07pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4992 of 8457)
know the medallion is definatley not at highland but the water towers from highland r domed shaped, and you can actually see them from CP. Just a thoght Matthew Hill - 04:07pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4993 of 8457)

what path is not plowed and are you sure that it was not plowed last year ShovelBoy - 04:08pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4995 of 8457)
on the hunt
Indian "Mounds" Park is Indian Mounds Park. Cherokee or ChairOKey is Cherokee park. They are 2 different parks on different sides of the river. Most veterans of the hunt feel that Mounds Park is forever off-limits to the medallion since it started troubles awhile back when it was hidden there and medallion hunters were "Traipsing" all over sacred indian land. Thats why Mound is shunned. SueBee - 04:08pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4996 of 8457)
Here, here Pugsley. The clues usually only reveal one piece of information. The large object IS the Cathedral dome and you can see it plain as day from CP. Matt Watters - 04:09pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4997 of 8457)
What I wanna know is why is anybody here talking? If you figure a clue out, keep it to yourself, don't let somebody who stays on the web 24/7 win the medallion! B.J. Mack - 04:10pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4998 of 8457)
Deb, why do you think it's in "the other end" of the park? What about the clue that says the medallion is "near a line of double division."?
Don't you think that means it's near Annapolis? Mr. Tomski - 04:10pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#4999 of 8457)

Right, Shovelboy, I think it's near the sledding hill, which is also near the "line of double division." Wasn't Deb saying she thinks it's in the other end of the park, nearer to the High Bridge? Mr. Tomski - 04:14pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5005 of 8457)
Water-boy are you one of those who just sits and listens.If someone`s on here they are obviosly not digging so how are they going to find it?????? New Daddy - 04:14pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5006 of 8457)
Could fore mean the front of CP. The North East end of the park has not been dug up much.
Could race, pace, runs refer to a jogging path?? Does anybody know of a jogging path by CP?? djs - 04:15pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5007 of 8457)
dug at the other end of the park forever and u cant go down the hill there is no large object SueBee - 04:15pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5008 of 8457)
Matt, if everyone kept their ideas to themselves, there wouldn't be need for a water cooler. we're here to get help from one another. It makes it fun. SueBee - 04:16pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5009 of 8457)
djs - the large object is the Cathedral dome. The first part of clue 4 says a large object. then the rest of the clue makes you figure out what that object is - the dome. Mr. Tomski - 04:17pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5010 of 8457)

There is a jogging path that runs all the way along the road (forget the name) but the road that is closest to the bathroom. I dug up about 20 feet of the path yesterday. Boy that was fun. Rob Norris - 04:18pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5013 of 8457)
there is only one spot where no one has looked, and thats where the medallion is. but where is that one spot. CP is a very wide park. It seems like the park is seperated. Deb Speidel - 04:18pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5014 of 8457)
near annapolis is cp in general, i think the smoke stack and the cathedral are to your back when facing the bathrooms per clue 6 Searching - 04:19pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5015 of 8457)

I can not believe the lack of proper English that is present here. Some of the statements look as though they came from a second grade class.

All I'm saying is beware of web jockeys who don't bother to even read the clues and just ask questions until they get a chance to dig. I'm not denying the "Minnesota Nice" feeling of sharing. SueBee - 04:20pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5021 of 8457)
AMD, no Annapolis is on the far side of the park from the High Bridge, down the sledding hill. there's a backstop on the corner of Annapolis and Cherokee Rd. (is it Cherokee RD?) New Daddy - 04:21pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5022 of 8457)
B.J. Mack -near a line of double division, most likely just locates the park. Usually clues that early are for a general area.
Fore means front. does this mean in front of a bathroom, a park bench, or the front of the park whereever that is. Matthew Hill - 04:21pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5023 of 8457)

So what's a better way to spell woos? Wus? No, that doesn't work. I'm trying to say they're wimps if they don't dig until the last second and get all their info from the water cooler. They also run the risk of it being found before they even put shovel to ice. Andy Brunn - 04:29pm Feb 2, 1998 CST (#5039 of 8457)
