Jenny, I think it's about 2.5 inches in diameter. It's a translucent blue plastic "puck-like" thing with Winter Carnival emblems embossed on it. Brian Carlson - 11:14am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5755 of 8458)
think tonites clue better give a better idea of location than last nights did...i'm tired of creating "crop circles"....someone from out of town is going to think that aliens landed in the park. Deb Speidel - 11:14am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5756 of 8458)
A METAL : DID YOU SEE ALL DIGGING ALREADY DONE ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE HILL???? I THOUGHT I HAD IT TOO AND SPENT THE WHOLE AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY RIPPING UP THE TOP OF THE HILL WITH NO LUCK-- I STILL THINK ITS IN THE NORTH END-
SUEBEE--HEY GIRL WELCOME BACK!!! SueBee - 11:16am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5757 of 8458)
Brian, someone earlier mentioned CP looks like Dawn of the Dead or the surface of the moon. Can you just imagine unsuspecting tourists looking for a view of the city stumbling upon all these people digging in a park? I'm laughing just thinking about it! :-) A. Metal Detective - 11:16am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5758 of 8458)
Deb, if I ever get out there again, I'm thinking of heading that way too. Gotta check all around, never know where that damn thing may be now... SueBee - 11:17am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5759 of 8458)
Hey Deb, good to "see" you again. You're not the one in blaze orange are you? Brian Carlson - 11:18am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5760 of 8458)
isn't it illegal to dig in a puplic park? is it possible to count all of the traffic violations around CP? SueBee - 11:18am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5761 of 8458)
Well, it's off to another meeting. Over lunch this time. I'll be back after 12:30 or so. Good luck everyone. happy hunting JENNY HOULE - 11:18am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5762 of 8458)
I'm the one in blaze orange, camo flauge A. Metal Detective - 11:19am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5763 of 8458)
Heh, I'll be the one in the green jacket, black wind pants, and brown gloves. Thats if I get out there again. Brian Carlson - 11:23am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5764 of 8458)
I can't believe all of the "its been found" postings....why is that so funny on here? since its been found are we all supposed to stop talking? I can understand saying it out at the park, but not here. What a waste of time!!! Lori Ward - 11:24am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5765 of 8458)
Has anyone thought of maybe another park. It was hidden in CP 5 years ago. Isn't that a bit to early to hid it there again. There is some clues that speak of other locations as well. JJ - 11:28am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5766 of 8458)
Lori, have you been to cherokee park recently and matched up the clues? wallflower - 11:28am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5767 of 8458)
shhhhhhh be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting medawions.
we were out unitl 2:30 am...then the brain froze and lost the trail. overheard grumblings that the lil puck had been found...would be a drag if someone found it and is hanging on to it. here's hoping tonight's clue will provide some insight...?!
Best of luck, diggers!!! John Warling - 11:29am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5768 of 8458)
Lori there was people still digging in Mounds Park at 11
:00 last night. Marz - 11:31am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5769 of 8458)
in my humble opinion
there are two clues left. when you concider the size of the park that is plenty. the next clue will cut the park in half, and the last one will X marks the spot of the medallion.
all prevous clues were to get us thinking, excited, and to cherokee park. forget domes, pyramids, and smokestacks.
its needle in a haystack time. at this point, its dumb luck and/or hard work that will get you the medallion. JJ - 11:32am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5770 of 8458)
SueBee: I understand most people can't get out during the day, including me. I got the CP searcher update from my wife, she doesn't "work outside the home". John Warling - 11:33am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5771 of 8458)
Does anyone no if there are Fur trees in the park? ybnormal - 11:43am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5772 of 8458)
John W-- there are several(read lots) of evergreen trees at the park. Don't know what kind they are. Got an idea? Deb Speidel - 11:55am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5773 of 8458)
Ive got my raiders jacket, black snowpants and white boots-- we must coordinate!!! i may just wear my green ski jacket with purple and pink sleeves-- draw some attention to myself or prevent my boyfriend from loosing me again and making me walk home !!!! j c condon - 11:57am Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5774 of 8458)
does cherokee parks live in st.paul? Deb Speidel - 12:00pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5775 of 8458)
yes it does-- that is the double division line-- annapolis- st paul and west st paul... Brad J. Brunner - 12:01pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5776 of 8458)
Has anyone theorized that the "cape and whip" clue might mean the medallion is hidden in an animal crackers box? The box has a circus ringmaster on it wearing a cape and holding a whip--I think.
That's the only thing I could think of as I drove in the parade from the PP to CP last night.
That or some link to Zorro. Hmmm....
See Y'all tonight. Catch 22 - 12:03pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5777 of 8458)
Good afternoon all! Just read through the past 200 or so posts trying to get a grip on last nites clue. The whip + cape = chippewa thing looks good but we already know it is at cherokee and telling us a name of a street that runs along the park just doesn't make sense. No one has made reference to the statue on top of the capital bldg. The man leading the horses is wearing a cape and has a whip. Could this mean that you do or perhaps do not ,since it says "not good attire" or whatever (don't have clues in front of me), have to be able to see the capital bldg from where the medallion is at? Any insight? wallflower - 12:05pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5778 of 8458)
shhhhhhh be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting medawions.
JC..teehee :) The Green Team - 12:07pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5779 of 8458)
I think the only meaning to Cape and Whip is Chippewa. Kind of a lame clue. I was out this morning for a while, and there is a lot of ground not dug up yet. Lots of work!! Are there really only 2 clues left?
(Deleted item originally posted by wallflower on 12:09pm Feb 3, 1998 CST)youngster - 12:10pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5781 of 8458)
Todays's clue Cape and Whip rearannged spell out Chippewa. This helps to place the treasure between Cherokee blvd and Chippewa st. maybe the ball field at the south end of the park which is the intersection of cherokee and chippewa. Or at the other end of the park where Cherokee blvd and Chippewa st intersect. Catch 22 - 12:10pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5782 of 8458)
Do they ever release the name(s) of the person(people) that write the clues? Deb Speidel - 12:19pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5783 of 8458)
youngster--cherokee and chippewa do not intersect at the south end of the park, but they do intersect @ the north end- they both intersect with annapolis on the south end-- at the bottom of the sliding hill, you cannot see the bathrooms- they are only visible to the top 1/4 of the hill if even that much.... i think its in the north end of the park-- on the west side of cherokee Catch 22 - 12:23pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5784 of 8458)
The PP should sell "medallion hunter" t-shirts, sweatshirts, or hats and have the proceeds go towards and added bonus for the medallion finder. I think alot of people would buy them and it would give more incentive (if any is needed) to hunt for the medallion. ybnormal - 12:23pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5785 of 8458)
Does anyone have any ideas on "immeasureable" or "dough" what they could possibly mean? Haven't seen any ideas on these. Sherlock - 12:28pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5786 of 8458)
ybnormal -- there was talk of "immeasurable" referring to earl street over at Mound Park, and "dough" referring to Baker street near Cherokee park, so ultimately who knows what the heck it means? What else is immeasurable? (it was an earl, immeasurable wealth) Does anyone know what other streets are over there that it could be? Maybe it's referring to a landmark you can see from where the medallion is??? Sherlock - 12:31pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5787 of 8458)
Deb -- I wonder about the street thing. the clue says "where three pyramids rise over the snow." Could the medallion be at the BOTTEM of the hill? As you walk up the hill, the pyramids rise over the snow. The street clues point toward the bottem, where chip & chero meet Annapolis. What do you think? SueBee - 12:33pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5788 of 8458)
Ybnormal, I doubt that immeasureable and dough mean anything. Ususally the clues only hold one piece of information and the rest is just filler for the rhyme. Although, last night's clue possibly being both Chippewa and that the med is in a cool whip container might pan out to be true. A. Metal Detective - 12:33pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5789 of 8458)
Sherlock, the medallion could be anywhere that you can see the pyramids. Even if you're standing next to them, they are "rising above the snow" j c condon - 12:34pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5790 of 8458)
Clue 9 "unlock" any key reference? Or "fore" golf course maybe?
And who is the "person who runs a committee" SueBee - 12:35pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5791 of 8458)
Sherlock, I'm with you about the pyramids coming over the snow as you walk up the hill. That's where I've been concentrating my efforts. But it's really raked over. There's obviously something we don't know yet. Maybe tonight will tell us. Deb Speidel - 12:35pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5792 of 8458)
SHERLOCK- I think you have to be able to see it over the snow where the stupid medallion is-- what about the cement pyramid things over the picnic tables at the park??? could those be the pyramids or are we certain (are we ever certain :0) ) that they are the bathrooms-- SueBee - 12:35pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5793 of 8458)
jc, unlock = key, committee = chair Chair-o-key = Cherokee park! New Daddy - 12:36pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5794 of 8458)
Deb actually that is the middle of the park the park extends NE of Smith, and that area has not been dug up much. The snow is much easier to shovel because it hasn"t been trampled. I think the med.s most like in the center of the park, by the chippewa, cher point. j c condon - 12:39pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5795 of 8458)
What are the pyramids? How about "aspire"? And what about "pace" or "race" Deb Speidel - 12:39pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5796 of 8458)
ok - there is a foundation of a building on the west side of cherokee that is right by the cliff-- does anyone know what that is or was??? i was there last night and everything was there!!!! it seemed too perfect, but it was really dark and with all the HAPPY POP i had i was afraid of rolling down the hill!!!! there is 2 more smoke stacks there too , but they dont function ( i dont think) SueBee - 12:40pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5797 of 8458)
It's fun to see everyone's strategy about where the exact location is. It runs the gamut from one end of CP to the other. Neat. I wonder who's right? A. Metal Detective - 12:40pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5798 of 8458)
Where exactly are you talking about Deb? MP Burns - 12:41pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5799 of 8458)
Hey, J. Warling! Do you work at St Johns? ybnormal - 12:42pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5800 of 8458)
I'm wondering if the "fore" could mean four paces from something. Unless there is only one clue in each rhyme shady eyes - 12:43pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5801 of 8458)
Did anyone check their butt? gonnafind it - 12:46pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5802 of 8458)
does anyone know if there is a path near Chippewa st? Deb Speidel - 12:47pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5803 of 8458)
new daddy-- i totally agree with you, but it is really hard to see all that you need to see from that point, do you think the running - track thing is the streets????? city streets will lead you there-- i will be there tonite, there are lots of leaves under the snow there and you need to make sure to bring lots of light and good eyes!!!! that may be part of the problem!!! SueBee - 12:47pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5804 of 8458)
Oh good, another wise ass. We need more of those kinds of comments on here. Surprised you don't have a giant graphic to go along with the name. wallflower - 12:52pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5805 of 8458)
shhhhhhh be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting medawions.
So...who else is stuck at work just ITCHING for the end of the day?! I'm pretty sure that I have the clues, but I'm also pretty sure that they don't narrow anything down (ie..just guide you to the park itself). Thanks for sharing ideas with the first time hunters! Go Coolerheads ;-)

Sorry, Shady, that wasn't very nice of me. Deb Speidel - 12:53pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5807 of 8458)
ok- on cherokee the west side ( toward the river ) right by the cliffs- there is a foundation of a building-- it is on a little lookout right straight between the bathrooms and the "other" smoke stack. this description probably doesnt help much--SORRY!! HEY LETS LOOK FOR THE BUILDING AND LET ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE LOOK FOR THE MEDALLION!!!! SueBee - 12:54pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5808 of 8458)
Wallie, ME, ME! I wanna get out and hunt when it's light outside. This digging in the dark thing stinks! Catch 22 - 12:55pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5809 of 8458)
I think "aspire" refers to church spire just down the block on annapolis street. Could it refer to anything else? SueBee - 12:55pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5810 of 8458)
Deb, and scream "we found it, we found it!" when we find the foundation. Although, that's probably not good for our health. I can just see a rush of people all falling over the cliff from shear momentum of them running toward us! j c condon - 12:57pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5811 of 8458)
Thats it I'm out of work to look for the Medallion. See you all at CP!! wallflower - 12:57pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5812 of 8458)

don't i know it!!!! i don't get out of here until 7 aarrrrggghhh!
Hey ...i haven't personally come across this but I've had other hunters tell me that people are getting a little testy out there. Not even sharing the printed clues. what's up with that?! Deb Speidel - 12:57pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5813 of 8458)
heres an idea-- im looking at a hudson map--cherokee kind of does an "S" thing right after the intersection with chippewa, could that be the :YOU DONT NEED TO WANDER TO AND FRO????? look right by the intersection of chippewa and cherokee!!!!! j c condon - 12:58pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5814 of 8458)
And I'm for sure going to find that foundation!!!! A. Metal Detective - 12:59pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5815 of 8458)

JC...say hi to cherokee parks while you're out there! Deb Speidel - 01:01pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5818 of 8458)
well i havent been able to match any thing with that except the swing theory, my thought is basically, dont go around the curves, stay on the straight and narrow, either before or after the curves in cherokee?? SueBee - 01:02pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5819 of 8458)
Deb, a bit of a stretch, maybe. Also, weren't people earlier saying the "tip" where Cherokee and Chippewa meet was dug to oblivion? j c condon - 01:02pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5820 of 8458)
We are all going to be at the foundation, drinking beer and celebrating after I find the medallion, drinks on me!!! Sherlock - 01:03pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5821 of 8458)
Deb & SueBee -- I'll holler if ya'll will! ;) If people ARE indeed getting a little testy, maybe that will help to lighten things up?? okay, okay, probably not. But we would be laughing because we will know that we're referring to the foundation thing, not the medallion-thing! Sherlock - 01:05pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5822 of 8458)
Deb, where are you that you have a Hudson's right with you??!! Sure wish I did right about now! SueBee - 01:06pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5823 of 8458)
Deb, I'm not sure where I'll go tonight seeing as the top of the sliding hill is chopped to h-e double hockey sticks. My boyfriend and I will probably be out there somewhere though. I'll be wearing a black Spider ski jacket with a bit of red and teal and a red ear band. I'll watch for you. Maybe I'll go to the Cherokee side of the hill tonight (closer to the river). I'm afraid we wouldn't survive a prank like that, especially if it's true they're getting testy! Holly Wood - 01:07pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5824 of 8458)

Has it? Hmmmmmm.... well, some clue said 'back' in it. I haven't been here for a while, so where do we all think it is? Still CP. It has to be. Deb Speidel - 01:24pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5849 of 8458)
no, down below the bluffs by water street is Harriet Island Itsinmypocket now - 01:24pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5850 of 8458)
Yes it is Deb. Not the one by the sledding hill, the one by the high bridge near ohio st. hill Deb Speidel - 01:26pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5851 of 8458)
my theory about the "back" thing is that it talks about the smoke stack and then you will be back and the next clue talks about the pyramids-- i think the smoke stack is to your back when you are looking at the bathrooms-- like in the north end of the park.. John Warling - 01:27pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5852 of 8458)

Yes Deb, but it could also be considered "filler". Just a word that rhymes with stack. The problem is that these clues are ambiguous at times, and you don't know what you should focus on, and what just may be words with no meaning. Troy Mclure - 01:29pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5856 of 8458)
Would you all like to know where I think it is? Well, I say it's at Harriet Island. Harriet's first name was "Rose", and Harriet Island used to a zoo. (Cape and Whip) Sherlock - 01:29pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5857 of 8458)

ok, i know where you are talking about, and that is still cherokee park, now the view from there is awesome!!!!! you will be back-- that is where people go yearly for the fireworks since it is such a clear view of the capital!!! but from there what is the 3 pyramids???? the domes could be the arches in the robert street bridge!!! and trapsing across the city could be the high bridge and the robert street bridge--good thought!!!!!

Hello all, just returned from CP. I've been lurking around the cooler for a few days now, but only posted a few times. I have been thinking more about the "wrong track" and "to and fro" in the clues alot. I thought maybe by the ball field - in/on the line to the bases. Right by annapolis. Maybe the sidewalk along Chippewa? The WHOLE place is so torn up, it's just unbelievable that no one has uncovered it yet.
Also. believe it or not, I drove home past Mounds to see probably 15-20 people still digging there.(!!) Two Sisters - 02:06pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5925 of 8458)

also a man was on this morn said he was out sun night and a man next to him picked up an object an put it in his pocket and left quickly , that nigh was a posting that it had been found and he would turn it in on the 12 clue hopefully this is not true that would be assnine gotcha - 02:10pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5929 of 8458)

Was at cp last night. Lots of people were just standing around. How are you going to spot a spotter? Catch 22 - 02:12pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5931 of 8458)
The spotter idea may be correct. When I was at cherokee yesterday I parked behind a guy that was sitting in his car. He was just sitting and staring out the window. I went out and looked for about 30min then came back to my car to call the fiance and he was still there staring. I went back for about another 30min. Came back, still there. Maybe he was just there for kicks or was cold or something. I never thought he may be watching the medallion. If you go to Cherokee look for a guy in a bluish (maybe brown or black--colorblind) buick 4-door. He was parked along Chippewa just down from Page St. gotcha - 02:13pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5932 of 8458)
the man that picked up the object sun night found it right near the edge of the playground matches with the clues it is possible that some jackass is holding it and its burning up his pocket Brian Schletty - 02:14pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5933 of 8458)
Best time to spot a spotter is at 4:30 in the morning when only the spotter is left at the park. Also, maybe look for an older person with no digging tools who is sitting in a parked car and who looks like he or she is scared every time you make a move in an area where you think the medallion is hidden. Maybe they'll have a camera ready to take your picture when you find it. gotcha - 02:14pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5934 of 8458)

hey brian u just described me well Two Sisters - 02:16pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5936 of 8458)
Maybe if this guy found it, he lost it again - why would you wait to turn it in? If its true, I will be ticked. Just think about how much time people have been spending on this. emmy & hannah's mom - 02:18pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5937 of 8458)
When I was at CP around noon, there was this man walking around with NO tools, no shovel or rake, nothing. Just walking aroung on top of the sledding hill.

dont think it pays to hammer away on the ice im sure the medallion or what it is in is visible maybe partially burried otherwise they might as well throw it in a hockey rink let it freeze and tell us where it is it would still take a couple of days to find it , ill shut up now just babbling a bit , a litlle frustrated i think Brian Schletty - 02:21pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5939 of 8458)
My dad talked to a guy at a grocery store. He saw them hide the medallion one year, but didn't realized that's what the man was doing until he read that the med. was found at that park. There wasn't much snow that year, so he just kicked some dirt over it. It snowed later on that week and the snow covered the med. Talk about a lost opportunity.

There are 2 constants every year whenever the hunt goes this long: 1) Some evil person found it already and is waiting to turn it in, just to make all of us suffer and, 2) there is some sinister looking person who keeps an eye on the treasure hunters watching every move.

Was anyone else at the Pioneer Press building last night? If not, then
I have a little story for you. I was about the 15th person in line and at
about 10:55, five minutes before the paper comes out, some 40ish
guy pulls up in a white station wagon and stumbles to the front of the
line. He then ask's the people in the front of the line if this is the place where you turn the medallion in if you found it. The people said yes and he was then buzzed in. He hard a hard time getting the door
open because he was obviously intoxicated. After about 3 or 4 minutes the man emerged from the building and drove around the block. While he was driving around the block, a worker from the Press came out and said that the man claims to be part of a group that found the medallion and that the people with the medallion were
on there way. After the Press worker went back inside, we saw the
man in the station wagon pull into the bank parking lot across the street. After he got out of his car, he walked back over to us and went inside the Press building again. At this point, it was about 11:10
and everybody was getting impatient. The man then headed back to his car but stopped and talked to some people in a truck. The Press worker then came out of the building and said that we could all come in and get a paper now if we wish, but that it could be a big waste of
time since this man claims it has been found. After my group got a paper, we decided to drive back to the man in the white station wagon. When we got there, he was getting in his car, but gladly
came over and talked to us. When we asked him what it was found
in, he hesitantly said a pop can. We then drove off not believing this fool and headed to Cherokee. I can't believe what some people will
do to try and be funny. Sorry this was so long. emmy & hannah's mom - 02:31pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5955 of 8458)

In the last 10 years, the wrapper has been disclosed by clue #10 every year...(though IMHO, the wrapper clue is a complete waste...picture this...I unearth a snack-size chip bag and say "oh, i'll throw this away - no wrapper clue reference")...how about Clue 7: "Here's a CLUE to AID your decision" referring to KOOL-AID....i.e. CLUE-AID >>> KOOL-AID... a Kool-Aid package?

Hey Ian, you dumb bastard, why in the hell would I make this up? And I am not going to give out my real e-mail address. If you would have been in line instead of sitting your ass behind your monitor, you would have seen it also. BTW, Jim Walsh was also there interviewing people in line and he also witnessed this man. Ian, when
in doubt, it's best to remain silent and be thought of as a fool, than to
open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Hollywood - We agree. Like if you come across something in the snow other than snow or ice, your gonna just toss it aside. Come on! As far as we're concerned, the clue telling you what the med is in is worthless because your gonna rip through anything that looks suspiscous!!

Hint: If you don't want to dig and you don't mind carring a little extra weight. A quick way to "dig" in some spots, is to bring 2-3 gallons of water and a watering can (flower waterer with wide spout) just pour water over snow and presto-chango no more snow. I know this sounds wierd and gruelling to carry that much water, but trust me it works and you don't have to sift through all the snow chunks to make sure you didn't overlook anything. Run out of water make a quick drive to SA and fill up at the bathroom. Catch 22 - 03:07pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5991 of 8458)
Why does everyone just jump on w/o reading prior posts and then waste our time asking and reasking questions that were just covered? Spend a couple of minutes reading through the past 30 or so posts and then you will get a clue as to what is going on! Deb Speidel - 03:09pm Feb 3, 1998 CST (#5992 of 8458)
