Grant- if you're talking to me, don't speak so fast moron, and read previous clues.
Randi - 02:37pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20003 of 22142)
But you can see the 3 m sighn just like you can see the towers from Crosby
HULK - 02:38pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20004 of 22142)
HEY A--
I KNOW MRS. BANNER AND YOU SIR ARE NO MRS. BANNER.
ACTUALLY, SHE IS A LAWYER AND YOU ARE PROBABLY GETTING BILLED FOR THIS TIME.
Amy Mo - 02:38pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20005 of 22142)
It's at CONWAY you ding-a-lings!! Haven't you been keeping up or what. Just take a look at the 1999 clue page and they'll even give you the definitions of the
previous 10 clues. Maybe you need to get a clue!
Digger Bart - 02:38pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20006 of 22142)
Grant M....How does the "flying down hill" from clue #2 fit into Crosby?
Grant Michaels - 02:39pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20007 of 22142)
No Fly-fan I wasn't talking to you, it was Flippy.

ameera elrasheedy - 02:40pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20009 of 22142)
hey, i've got a question for you all who think it's at Crosby: A line of trees was supposed to give you a name leading to the park, does it do that for Crosby?
Also, is there a scoreboard, and what's the translucent peak?
Some of your clues work, but not all of them! Who's the iconoclast in relation to the park?
Oh, and one more thing...At como, the conservatory is a translucent DOME. Dome peopple, not peak! Dome=round peak=pointy
FlyFan88 - 02:40pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20010 of 22142)
Grant- OK, sorry.
Grandma honeybearrr - 02:40pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20011 of 22142)
MikeVig - So if they hide the medallion at Como that would make them an econoclast, or if you looked there then you would be an econoclast, what do you think?
starbury - 02:41pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20012 of 22142)
I went to coolercrew.com- it doesnt mention Crosby as it ever being found there
Mrs. Banner - 02:41pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20013 of 22142)
Homer you can go to the cooler crew page or the metrosavers.com page (i think that's it, it's been mentioned a few times so you may just need to scroll back a bit)

Randi - 02:41pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20014 of 22142)
Hey I probly am wrong however don't you think that it is possible for it NOT to be at Conway?? I've been there last night and no place to even dig the sifter thing
would be the only way to gat anything done. Besides I don't think it is under snow were if I knew it would be in my hands but just a theory.
Grant Michaels - 02:41pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20015 of 22142)
Bigger Bart Think of the Airport The planes are flying down a hill, the airport is lower than the Downtown area think about it they fly down hill DUH!
A - 02:42pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20016 of 22142)
The reason i'm not digging is because I have a NASTY cold from spending all of my time at
Conway for the past 4 days. I wish the damn thing would be
found already!!
Columbus - 02:42pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20017 of 22142)
Folks,
Clue #10 says:
Clue No. 10: What's in a name is today's little game As a pointer it could be unsurpassed Two men share it one and the same A crooner goes first and a funny man
last So two men share it (Conway Twitty = Tim Conway) and the crooner (Twitty) has it first and the comedian (Tim) has it last. Websters defines a crooner as one
who sings popular songs. Twitty is a popular country singer. The last time I checked Crosby is not equal to Cosby, and they both are LAST NAMES!
Grant Michaels - 02:42pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20018 of 22142)
It all fits to Crosby.
starbury - 02:43pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20019 of 22142)
I was just thinking its somewhere other than Conway- I mean, i was the 1st too say it was at Conway, but looking at how dug up it was, Im not sure anymore.
Mrs. Banner - 02:43pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20020 of 22142)
Part of me agrees with A, definitely.
Chris Obst - 02:43pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20021 of 22142)
Conway park's ice rinks are NOT the same size! All you idiots who wrecked the baseball parks had better plan on spending some time this spring replanting the
grass.
Steve Ford - 02:44pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20022 of 22142)
Any thoughts on where it might be at Conway. My boys have been digging since 6:oo and just called at a total loss. I think most people have no idea what the last
clue really meant.
Randi - 02:44pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20023 of 22142)
Crosby Hidden falls park some clues fit not all but everyone else is going off Conwat Twitty come on some clue to me it seems to be catered to the older generations
Grant Michaels - 02:45pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20024 of 22142)
The planes are flying downhill at the airport. flying etc.
HULK - 02:45pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20025 of 22142)

Can I Dig It - 02:45pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20026 of 22142)
Has anyone come up with two places of equal size for Conway. The rinks are all different sizes. You can't see anything from the tennis courts. And as far as the rest
of the park it looks like it has been militarily carpet bombed. Any Ideas..?
starbury - 02:45pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20027 of 22142)
Hey, Gratnt-
Can you help me out and tell me how all the clues fit into Crosby? Thanx
Randi - 02:46pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20028 of 22142)
Hey hold up if you had been following along there was a comedian very popular for the older generation norman cRosby
Amy Mo - 02:46pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20029 of 22142)
Really you all don't know that it's at Conway. They already told us that!! COme on - get with the clues
KiTten - 02:47pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20030 of 22142)
I went digging at Conway, and I'm sure by now the medallion's been dug up and thrown by accident into another snow pile or something. But All signs point to
Conway....and the ice rinks ARE practically the same size. But really people, don't ruin the softball and baseball fields! I'm going to be playing on them, come
spring...and I don't want to have to play on some trashed up field just cuz of this medallion..
The Rock - 02:48pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20031 of 22142)
if you dont know what the 954 thing is then i might have to tell you but you have to tell me the website for the clues. not the coolercrew one but the other site.
A - 02:49pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20032 of 22142)
!!!!DIE-HULK!!!!
Rogue S. Hunter - 02:49pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20033 of 22142)
First -- The names have to be a first name for the crooner and a last name for the funny guy. Crosby would both be last names.
second -- It doesn't have to be something actually frozen at Conway. As others have suggested and may well fit, The Poles (North&South) are frozen places.
Therefore you may need to find two identical poles on North, one South to find the prize.
starbury - 02:49pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20034 of 22142)
Rock- the site is here: metrosupersaver
Now can you tell me ( i dont care if in email) how the 954 fits? Thanx
Hiderof Medals - 02:50pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20035 of 22142)
Randi, then your crooner's first name would have to be Crosby. Bing Crosby doesn't fit.
Ain't Talkin Bout Fontana - 02:50pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20036 of 22142)
You people are simpletons to (even in lieu of the clues) think they would put the Medallion in an undisturbed nature area like Crosby Park which lacks any
landmarks. i would suggest you all climb the highest trees at Crosby and search all the squirrel's nests.

Conway Everyone is going off of the crooner the ORIGINAL crooner is (was) Bing Crosby After the previous clues there not going to make it as easy as conway
they want you to think and really think hard
starbury - 02:51pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20038 of 22142)
No ones told me how the other clues fit Crosby
California Dreamin' - 02:51pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20039 of 22142)
Idea for clue # 11: this was posted earlier. I haven't been out there yet, so I don't know if it's right. Judge for yourselves. Frozen places maybe meaning places on the
globe, as in north and south poles. possibly two poles of equal size? Lampposts or something? Also, anyone have that number to call if it's been found? I called the
number listed on top, but it's the wrong one.
nathan roub - 02:52pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20040 of 22142)
kitten did you notice the goof in clues?
Rogue S. Hunter - 02:53pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20041 of 22142)
Randi -- tell me who the funny guy is with the last name bing perhaps. Since its the first name of the crooner that is identical to the last name of a funny guy.
CA Transplant - 02:53pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20042 of 22142)

Thank you, Rogue, for setting everyone straight.

Dont forget that Minnesota is comparable to the
North and South Pole!!!
KiTten - 02:54pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20044 of 22142)
so wait....as of yet, the medallion hasn't been found...Right?
nathan roub - 02:54pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20045 of 22142)
what is 954
nathan roub - 02:54pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20046 of 22142)
right
California Dreamin' - 02:55pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20047 of 22142)
Never mind about the number. I screwed up. I just called, and it's not been found. My kid had said someone heard on the radio that it had been found.
nathan roub - 02:55pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20048 of 22142)
if its not xonway where is it
Grandma honeybearrr - 02:55pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20049 of 22142)
Ok...I'm thinking as I go here but, what if Conway was being used only as a vantage point, leading to a valuable sign, perhaps even a sign with a pointer that leads to
the medallion? Yet another thought!

Good luck, Kitten! The word they goofed on was "place". They said it was plane. But someone on here earlier said she called and the PP didn't know about it, so it
was a typo, nothing deliberate. It's supposed to be "place".

"It's Time To Thin The Herd!"
Red object in the sky (not red light) flying down hill (NWA Red tails) Since when was Twitty ever a crooner...there was only one crooner..Bing Crosby. Looking at
water on high...the cliffs over looking crosby lake and the river. History is Fort Snelling looming across the river. Hidden falls could be the translucent peak. You
have highway 5 (7th street) and I 494 signs. Josiah Snelling is in many a tome. Studying the past with a blast (Fort Snelling was an Army Training base during
WWII.)
Just a thought!

some of you are making me nervous that it is not at conway. i don't thing i could bear starting over at a new park. Although a while back i did consider hidden falls
(east river road) due to the waterfalls (water from above) and there are red balls on electric transformers warning low flying aircraft. Even so, nothing fits as well as
conway.
Mandi - 03:03pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20075 of 22142)
Is there a Short St.(or Ave., Pkwy. ect.) Because there was a famous crooner named Short and the funny man could be Martin Short?

get out there and look, it would be found by now!

Everybody PLEEESSEE, what don't ya'll understand? Flying downhill are the Airplanes flying to a lower elevation the St.Paul airport. The red objects are the red
balls on the telephone wires, and the peak is the waterfall, the crooner is Bing Crosby and the funny man is Norm Crosby. And they blasted the caves by there.
lester c - 03:15pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20090 of 22142)
Not at Crosby read the clues .conway is the first name. and the last duh.............if you want to find it look right in front of the building close to conway street. it s on
thr ground and the snow is still white there and has not been dug deep enough to bare ground.all objects can be seen there. 9 trees in a line 5 lite poles surounding
you 4 backstops not all in sight ..somewhere.. to old to look but helped build the place years ago live close.. it is there.............pick up check. look for a softball cut
in half and retaped .

two nights, it's SOOO CRAZY. Does everyone still think 2 planes are the 2 rinks?? Good luck :)

jennyjenny - 03:17pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20098 of 22142)
Oh I get it! All of you crosby fans must want to just divert the attention away from Conway. That must be it, because HOW MANY TIMES DO PEOPLE HAVE
TO EXPLAIN THE CROONER FIRST NAME AND FUNNY MAN LAST NAME?

For all the people that are digging somewhere else besides Conway are really wasting your time. The watertower with the big 3M logo in it is where they're talking
about and j the translucent peak is Sunray Mall. 459 is an address on a house facing the baseball fields by the scoreboard. Look in the outfield territory. Don't waste
anymore hours digging anywhere else.

Flippy - 03:20pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20106 of 22142)
Grant- You keep saying that, but can you give ONE compelling reason why it isn't there? Anything that doesn't fit with the clues given? Any of the clues that can't be
covered in one way or another?
Kitchica Puss - 03:20pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20107 of 22142)
Gotta agree with Grant, not at Conway!! It's not a park!! It's a recreation center!! They said it would be at a PARK!!!!!
Rodd - 03:21pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20108 of 22142)
Grant go ahead and look somewhere else. You just don't get it, do you? The first name of a "funny man" and the Last name of a "Crooner" have to be the same!
Bing and Norm Crosby have the same LAST name. Stop trying to push people to the wrong park - we need as many people as possible to look at CONWAY so it
can be found today!!!
Mary Weisenburger - 03:21pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20109 of 22142)
This is why it's not at Crosby: What's in a name is today's little game As a pointer it could be unsurpassed Two men share it one and the same A crooner goes first
and a funny man last
nathan roub - 03:22pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20110 of 22142)
not mounds, the name thing doesnt work
Grant Michaels - 03:22pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20111 of 22142)
If it is at Conway, it is all torn up and about 30 or 40 feet out of the original spot.
Amy Anderson - 03:22pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20112 of 22142)
REALLY? so the clue is "2 Places of equal...?" I didn't know that...would somebody please re-post Clue #11?? I am too lazy to go check the clue... LOL thank
you!! Did they change the mistake on the Internet?
Thanks - Amy

Hey i think i have probably read every single message that has been posted here ...alot of people have good points but you have to find the park that fits every single
clue, not just half of them..i have heard all of the different descriptions of why its here and not there and i still think its at Conway every single clue fits...Yeah i thought
to myself hey if its there it would have been found already but its a big park and alot of its intact....you definately have to see exactly what they tell you, you have to
see fron the spot that the medallion is hidden ..its not going to be just thrown out in the middle of the field , they wouldnt have a landmark to write the last clue

IT OUT BECAUSE ONLY ME AND 3 OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE HELL I AM TALKING ABOUT.

away from whatever they discribe in the last clue!!
Nick East - 03:32pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20137 of 22142)
The four is the water fountain right in the middle of the park. It is shaped exactly like a four. Go there and see for yourselves.

Then go North (left) for about 3 blocks and the park will be there on the right.

the smaller rink is the same size as the small general rink and the area between them is all dug up. But an early clue usually tells what the medallion is attached to. any

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I'm convinced I saw a spotter last night. During the big hubbub at the the hockey rinks, I didn't feel like fighting the crowd so I just kind of wandered around (during
which time I realized the rinks were different sizes). There was a guy by the water fountain who was just standing there. He didn't even have any tools. I thought it
was a little strange but think too much of it. When I got home and found out here that the clue was I wrong, and then figured out the North Pole South Pole thing, I
went back to the park and got there at about a quarter to five and the same guy was still standing in the same place! He had to be a spotter. I wonder though if he
really knew where it was exactly. Otherwise I would have expected him to wonder why there was such a universal dash for the hockey rinks. Didn't that strike him
as strange?

Anyone listening to GL right now? Some lady who sounded like a man called in claiming to have found the medallion in MINNEHAHA PARK! Isn't that hilarious!
She hadn't bothered to pick apart and open the duck taped tobacco tin she found- but was convinced it was the medallion and wanted to know if she could have her

It may be plausible on this level: On the pole I was digging by there was a number on one side with a 9 on it, and another number on the other side with a 5 on it.
This pole is by the water fountain so it is possible. But unless that is a hidden double meaning (which I'm starting to believe there were a lot more of those than we
realized) I don't think it was the primary meaning.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
Spotters- there is an intersting concept. What would be there function? If you see these fun people make sure you talk to them/bug them as much as possible. Most
of all watch their eyes.
If they're dressed in black suits and don't seem to understand what a fork is, maybe they aren't spotters for the PP, they're spotters from some higher life form . . .

cops yes they are - it's a good idea too - if someone actually found the medallion with all those people there - they would get murdered....so cops being there to
"protect and Serve"
it's a great idea to have the undercover boys there to assure us that we won't get our butt kicked when we find this damn thing...

CA Transplant, you naughty naughty girl. Nick, if you don't believe me about the north/south pole thing consider two things: 1)Last years Clue #11 said to look for a
sugary loaf and a yellow stone. They didn't mean it literally. They were references to Winona and Wyoming Ave.'s. 2)Based on the rest of the clues this year, do you
honestly believe this writer means any of the things he says literally?
Woodi and her sister - 04:21pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20205 of 22142)
Just got back from diggin. There are still people spread all around the park. Several hundred. To those who were around at about 11:30 with the discussion about
the poles, there are two poles, one north and one south by the hockey rink. There is a tree at MID point between the poles which is also midpoint between two
baseball fields. You can see the two Crystal domes, the Red 3M sign and the water tower very clearly from that sight. There was still a little bit of unturned snow and
I think I went through most of it. The guy who found the medallion two years ago at Como was with me digging and we both thought it made sense. Well,,,,,,,time
will tell. Good luck all. I will be out again later tonight.

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."
Alison - you could be right about those hidden meanings. We'd do best to read the clues through as thouroughly as possible before going out there next!
It's at conway, but the fact that it hasn't been found yet is what makes this so damn exciting! I hope I'm there when it's found!

This is Sharky; I've been hunting the last few years for the ever elusive medallion. I am now living in New Jersey. I have off this weekend and I'm hoping to fly home
tomorrow early so I can dig tomorrow if it has not been found by then. The clues are tough this year it seems since you all are still in disagreement over the park but I
imagine it's at Conway. Anybody interested in picking me up at the MSP airport early tomorrow morn, say the crack of dawn?!:) Good Luck but I hope I can find it
tomorrow afternoon! That'd be a hoot!!!

Big10Gs - 04:36pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20224 of 22142)
Puss - They were saying it used to be called Conway Heights Park, so it is a park. If you look up Linwood in the phone book it is a rec center, but on the map it is a
park, too.

'Shame on you, Repoman, and Hawkeye and Martin. And shame on you, Muffin, Ms. Brown and Tia.'
First off, Conway is still listed as both a park and a rec center. Any place that has 23 acres plus fields, and rinks, and fountains, etc. is technically a part.
Daytons Bluff however is not a park. It is a rec center. It is a rec center with ball fields and the likes. Besides, it is on Conway and Euclid, crossed by Maple, not
Conway and Wilson.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
There is no doubt about Conway. And since I'm too tired to go look anymore, and my compatriots haven't had success, I'll tell you why.
Clue #1 Just launching the hunt with a special warning to not dig up golf courses. This does not mean that the park does or does not have a golf course.
Clue #2 Downhill flying that is quite a thrill is sledding which is done at Conway on the far east end where the hill slopes down toward Howard St.
Clue #3 Numbers keep score means 20 and adorn the front door refers to an address. Conway is on the 2020 block. The 9-5-4 refers to I-94 and 5 (Minnehaha
Ave.) Conway is the only park between those two on the 2020 block.
Clue #4 For those who have studied past hunts, they will find something new this year as the medallion is in a new location. You may have to be an iconoclast though
to believe it would be at a rec center. Also a possible reference to the cross shapes of the utility poles.
Clue #5 A place where you can fill your yearning for learning is the library on the grounds of Conway, very near to where the treasure is.
Clue #6 A man of fame with a useful name (many disagree with me here) Henry Hudson as a Hudson Guide is very useful to hunters and Old Hudson Rd. is just one
block south of the park. Other believe it refers to Babe Ruth and Ruth St.
Clue #7 A clue with a double meaning. Trees in a line would be a wood row. If you take the name Woodrow, then the name Wilson appears and Conway is on
Wilson Ave. Also, a line of trees (slang for utility poles) leads down Pederson St. where you can see a True Value Hardware sign.
Clue #8 Round and white and stretched quite tight is apparently referring to what the treasure is hidden in, anything from a softball, to a water balloon, to an
embroidery hoop. At this point odds are on something very small. The translucent peak is most likely the tower on the rec center, but its possible it may be one of
the two peaks on SunRay. Both are visible from near the utility poles.
Clue #9 Water on high is the water tower on the corner of McKnight and Wilson, visible from the hiding place. The large red object in the sky is most likely the 3M
sign (though believe it or not, I was able to see the 1 from the First National Bank downtown this morning from near one of the utility poles!).
Clue #10 Conway Twitty and Tim Conway. Enough said.
Clue #11 Two frozen places that are equal in size would be the North and South Poles which are both but a single point and definitely frozen. The utility poles run
north and south (hence north and south poles). The clue also mentions searching aMID the snow and ice. The utility poles are in the middle section of the park.
Its possible the medallion has been the victim of incompetent diggers, or befell some other bizarre fate, but I challenge anyone to come up with a better explanation
for another park.

I have a few ideas they may have been said before: Iconoclast may mean that you have to smash something (ice) to find the treasure. I also think that it may be in a
tiny drum (round white cover streched tight) just an idea!

I agree with POOH that it is very frustrating that I can spend all this time figuring out the clues, and many hours searching, and the person who gets it will probably be
someone who saw Conway on the news, went to the park, and then just tripped over the dang thing. Figuring out the clues has been fun, as has posting on this
board, but dammit, I want some money!

I could be wrong, or the clue could have a double meaning, but I got the feeling from the wording that they meant literally a 9 and 5 and 4 and not just nine of
something or five of something.

The area around the rinks has been turned over many many times!!!! I am going to need sharper shovels to dig into the frozen ground below that - Is it possible that
it was hidden so long ago that it has sunk down to the ground level and is frozen below the snow covering and has been missed by so many diggers??

Big10Gs I think it is at Burns park. I'm not familiar with St. Paul. I have been trying to help my sister out this year though. By just looking at a map I was able to
make a few of the clues fit. My sister put a few others together herself. Consider this: Water on high.......There is a Pacific Street just north of the park.
Allison Wonderland - 05:07pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20257 of 22142)

Anything is possible at this point pj. There are some unturned sections of snow, but they're not where the medallion is likely to be (i.e. you can't see some or all of the
major landmarks from there). Its also possible that somebody dug up one spot and dumped the snow nearby and that the medallion was under where they dumped
the snow. But from the surface it looks like snow that's already been dug up.
Allison Wonderland - 05:09pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20258 of 22142)

Maybe we should just have a post appear avery page or so that says, "Of course you can fit some of the clues to that park. You can fit some of the clues to any
park. We only want to know if you can fit all of the clues to another park."

This reminds me of the year that it was hiddedn in Newell Park - and the wheather was just like this and the park was totally dug up - it too the last clue to isolate the
right area - and the medallion was foundabout 12 yards away from the original hidding spot (as told by the last clue) i think this has happened - some object that
holds the medallion has been pushed around and could be anywhere in the basic vacinity of the correct spot. You just got to get lucky now!
Kari H - 05:14pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20267 of 22142)

I wanna play too, I wouldn't worry about that. If you're at home when you get the clue, it may be too late by the time you get there and find a parking spot. I'd say
just go the park, watch where people start moving at 11:30, follow them and just start digging.

The sucker is at Como. Have you seen how many people have waylaided the Conway park? By default someone would stumble upon that sucker.
Also, it is in a public place. The como area is a public area, and look at how much space there is to hide it?
Not at Conway, I am telling yah, and I am not even looking for the thing. I saw at least 6 people with metal detectors looking at conway.
Go to Como, no kidding.

Of course if it is at another park, and you're right, you've only got six hours to do something about it before your secret is out. And if one person can find it alone in a
whole park, no matter how small, in only six hours, I'll be truly amazed.

It is in Como Park people. Conway is to small of a place to hide it. I drive by that place twice a day, and I tell yah, on average there are at LEAST 2-300 People
during the morning, and at night? 400-600 EASY. Conway is only so big. Hell, I dont think there is even any snow left.
On the other hand....Como is a MUCH bigger place, easier to hide something, which is probably sitting right in front of the faces of many. I am telling yah, it is at
Como.

I live in Como Park. I was digging until 1AM, then went home, found out about the misprint in the clue, figured out what it meant, and then dug some more from
about a quarter to five to nine. I'm not sure I want to deal with the madness anymore for what amounts to only a relatively small chance of personally finding it. If I
could just use my brain to figure out where it was, and then go get it, I would. But with all the people out there now, and it starting to get narrowed down, its more a
matter of luck now, and luck I don't have. If I did go, it would be more to socialize.

Donut Man, your own logic can be used against you. Como IS a BIG park. If they wanted anyone to find it, they would have to have been much clearer about
where it was. Besides, are you saying that the way all the clues fit Conway is just one enormous coincidence?

And Zentar, Clue #1 says a park is the spot, it says a golf course is not, but it does not say that said park has a golf course. They used intenionally ambiguous
language to keep from narrowing it down too soon. Of course there's no real point in trying to convince anyone. If you really believed it was at Como or somewhere
else and planned to do anything about, you'd be using these last few precious hours to take advantage of your advantage instead of sitting on the internet preaching to
the damned. So I realize this is just largely an intellectual argument.

I know there's no Perry Park, but I think the clue is pretty clear that the name you're looking for is the common name between the two. Thus you would need a
comedian named Como Something. The only other parks I can think of whose name can be used as both a first and last name would be Newell and Langford, but I
can't think of any examples of those, certainly not as prominent as the Conway answer.

I just went through the clues, and now I know it is at Como, and in all honesty, I actually think I might have a pretty darn good idea.
All you folks looking for that 3M read sign as your bearing, ummm, if I recall, you can't see it from Conway Park. Besides, there are OTHER red bearings around

I guess some of you missed the earlier discussions. My idea is that the two frozen places that are of equal size are the North Pole and the South Pole. They are both
frozen and both are but a single point. So if you look for north and south poles you will find the utility poles in the middle of the park (as you search aMID snow and
ice) that run north-south. So it must be somewhere near there.

While the rinks at Conway are not equal size, the sheets of ice are about equal. Its just a smaller rink was constructed on the one sheet, leaving open ice for figure
skaters. So the frozen places (sheets of ice) are close to being equal in size.

Lionel Hutz - 05:57pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20365 of 22142)
Allison - I can't agree w/ your North-South analysis. It says to *look* for two frozen places of equal size. That seems to me it is something visible on-site, not
something abstract like the poles.
Along those lines, I heard and saw two possibilities at Conway: the ice rinks, which are definitely frozen but not entirely equal size; or the tennis courts, which are
only sort of frozen over but are definitely areas of equal size.
Allison Wonderland - 05:57pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20366 of 22142)

If anyone really wants to dig, dig at Conway. All the clues point towards it and the fact it hasn't been found could be due to any number of things. If you have doubts,
and you're leaning towards another park, unless you have a REALLY good idea where it is, you'd probably never find it anyway, even if you're right.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
There are four untility poles on the park property. Lionel, I thought about the tennis courts too at first, but they were pretty well investigated last night too, plus I
don't think you can see the water tower from there. As far as what to look for, I just don't trust this writer to say anything in a straightforward way. If you substitute
north and south poles for two frozen places equal in size, the clue reads, Look for north and south poles. Just like the trees in a line clue, you had to substitute a
different phrase.

Told yah it was at Conway!
The St. Paul Pioneer Press medallion has been found. It was turned in at 6 p.m. Wednesday night. It was found in Conway Park.
See, I knew it all along!
That is why I don't hunt for that thing. I would still be at Como in denial, digging up trees, breaking down stuff, swearing it was all a lie, a conspiracy against me. Oh
well, until next year.

By the way, if anyone hasn't heard, there is a party called the rehash bash Sunday at 11:30AM. Its usually in the park it was hidden in, but Conway doesn't have the
facilities so the location is undetermined yet.

Do not judge someone by the size of there post, it only shows your in-ability to seperate reality from the illusion that this place is.

That is even more funny then The Rock's posts! ROFL.

You're right, I've only been on this site for the hunt. Though I met Green and some others yesterday in person and got inducted into the cooler crew so maybe I'll be
around elsewhere in the future.

I am vowing never to watch channel 5 again, what a waste of 30 minutes; they're the last ones to know the medallion is found, and they call themselves reporters? I
hope channel 9 or 11 can do better than that later tonight.
Regalman - 06:53pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20529 of 22142)
Does anyone else have the same feeling as when the Vikings lost?? The only good thing here is a Minnesotan won.
snostar - 06:53pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20530 of 22142)
we may all sleep now, well maybe. Knowing that chunk of change is in someone else's pocket is never comforting, but I've learned to live!
snostar - 06:55pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20531 of 22142)
Regalman-- No i don't, when the vikings lost i locked myself in my room and cried for 3 hours! This will amount to 2 hours 59 minutes and 59.5 seconds!
Guardian Angel - 06:56pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20532 of 22142)
Now, I hope we can find enough kind people to donate some money to Conway for our kids... Otherwise, we will have to take some money that was set aside for
uniforms and equipment to pay to repair all that has been done... Don't get me wrong, I love the hunt!!! I have hunted for 15 years now, but I just hate to see the
kids go without... ;-(

Although I didn't add anything to the discussion, my kids and I really enjoyed noodling the clues and looking over y'all's comments. We went to Conway on Sunday
and were right there diggin' away behind that backstop (field no. 4 by the way for those still thinking about clue #3). The kids are blown away by how close we were
to it. Looking forward to next year!

We were there until midnight last night, 15 FEET from where it was found! I agree with you, LL, it was great fun for the family to work out the clues and spend time
together digging. We'll be back next year for sure!

A good hunt comes to a disappointing end. My boys worked so hard! They quit around 5:00 today and planned to return at 11:30. I'm sure many worked hard like
they did. Oh well.....we have the best treasure!! Jesus Christ!!

To the hot little babe who, smiled at me when I put it in my pocket, EMAIL ME and we'll go get a Hotel Room!
And to all you Losers out there, tough luck, better luck next time!!!
I didn't even dig for the thing! I just stood around keeping my Eyes peeled, and when I saw this knit thing I Walked over and grabbed it.
So for all you diggin creeps, what a wate of time bozos!!!

now he shows up? I doubt it. Also, that person started posting about 10 minutes after the announcement. Don't be gullible....I really don't think it is the finder.

I do not believe that this person is really the one who found it. It sound a lot like a person who is extremely gealous. if it is the person who found it then he is one
pathetic loser, or winner, I sould say!
Victoria - 07:34pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20577 of 22142)
Leader...its pretty much impossible to just find it and give it to someone that has a button ...knew someone who actually found it and tried that they almost didnt give
himt he prize at all...they have spotters out there watching over it at all times im sure
hunt-n-peck - 07:34pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20578 of 22142)
Don't beleive for a miniute it was the real finder that posted the ha ha note here, it was probably that peckerhead superstupidstar. Next year there should be a
webmaster dumping of super slimeball idiots like him ! We talked to a lot of people this year, had a great time and thank aron for finding it, our backs appreciate it.
ouchie - 07:35pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20579 of 22142)
Well, all I have to say is that I'm glad that when we were out there yesterday we were not digging in that area - that would make me crazy thinking that we may have
tossed it accidentally!!!!! It was fun, the clue writer was better than it has been of late, the weather was nice, and we got to talk to lots of nice people, both on the
web here and out at the park. Look forward to talking to you all next year, hope it's a good one for all (except maybe Aaron)!!Just kidding:))

the new hunt is on
The reason I didn't have the button is because I registered it too late. Get off my back!!!
I'm sorry I posted by rubbing it in but I'm really pumped up and exited.
I didn't mean to hurt anybodys feelings so please understand!
Victoria: If that was really you please call me i mean email me.
The guy with the blue hat behind the backstop by the conway sign, you can still kiss mt A$$!
abrunn - 07:37pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20582 of 22142)
There is many ways of getting around not having a button. But, if this is really the guy then I can see him making a big fuss about finding it and not using his head. If I
would have found it I would have given it to my mother, who has a button, to turn it in.
abrunn - 07:38pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20583 of 22142)
This guy is a total idiot, it might be him!

Aaron sounds like such a nice young man, I suggest that we all send him e-mail 5-10 times a day to let him know how much we envy him. and with his new found
riches he will definantly need to be signed up for any e-mail lists you my come across, so that he has somewhere to spend his cash.
abrunn - 07:40pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20586 of 22142)

Why would I look for a stranger with a button when I have co-workers and family I can call on for a registered button if I was too dumb to have my
own??????????I have been Treasure hunting for 30 years and have stepped on or walked by the site each year! One of these years it will be me and I won't be
blabbing on the Internet where I'm looking. You all need to get a LIFE because I have had a GREAT laugh reading all these messages.

So where exactly was it found? Was it just sitting on the grass(under the snow of course) or was it on something? I'm curious because I was out there today and it
seemed like just about every inch of that park was overturned! Did he have to dig deep? Just curious, it seemed so overwhelming out there, just digging anywhere
and everywhere!

There are two posting and I really am Aaron. That other fool is just a blowhard and is mad because I won it.
But for that guy with the blue hat and his buddy, ha ha tough luck JERK!
Who says there's a law that you have to dig like an idiot to win the thing. I always said diggers are fools! And besides I can say I didn't wreck anything before I
found it like alot of those dumb asses ot there. I'm glad I found it and only wish I would have registered my button on time.
Ben Diggin - 07:59pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20601 of 22142)
Sounds like Aaron is starting to get a little remorseful (i.e. scared) of spouting off like a 5 year old. I don't think many of us are buying it. Mail bombs away!!!
TheReallyFatGuy - 07:59pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20602 of 22142)
A question for everyone--do you think the internet was a huge advantage here, or was it being from st. paul that did the job? (if your still on Aaron, I wouldn't mind
knowing for next year!

I found it along the backstop by a bench on the northwest corner of the playground. I wasn't digging because I don't like to wreck stuff. When some people were
shoveling I saw part of a knit thingy sticking out of a snow chunk and just went over and grabbed it.

Allison...
Two frozen places of same size??? (We - Honey, SueBee, WW, DDY and I) dug up your idea area....) It ended up that there are two football fields that *we*
didn't know about until about 4:00-4:30 today. The Med was found *near* the "goal" post of the #1 FB field - the one closest to Ruth...
Sorry, friend... But I'm already drooling over next year!!!
Kara Weber - 08:16pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20617 of 22142)
Why is everyone so angry anyways? so he did not register his button. He just won $5,000 It is 5k more then he had yesterday.I would be happy with any amount
and so would most of you,am I right? Everyone on here seems to be friends until one of you actually did find the medallion, now you seem to hate that person.
Something does not seem right here. He just got lucky. If it was any one of you, I think that you would want a little respect. Be happy for the guy. and stop calling
him names. It could be you next year just remember that.
Grant Michaels - 08:16pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20618 of 22142)
Well congrats Aaron, I must have stepped on it 20 times, I was digging for it in the place where the pitchers mound was torn up and thrown at . It was by home
plate. Makes me mad. Next time I'm not moving around so damn much. Spend the money wisely. Have a KEG party.

I"ve been monitoring the water cooler for a week,and I say GoodLuck Aaron, but I hope your not the guy a little while ago .He was a CREEP!! Cant wait to see the
thing it was found in. At 2 I was chopping with my KILIE,an aborigine throw stick at 2nd to 3rd base. I was only 50 ft away.I thought it was cool to have a modern
THROW STICK made of bullet proof LEXAN!! to do my digging with .Because it is made of almost the same material as the medallion,but it didnt help me. Now
everyone relax those fingers. GOOD NIGHT...

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
For anyone who would like to rehash the clues and commisserate with other hunters, there is going to be a rehash bash this Sunday at 11:30 am. Because Conway
does not have the facilities for a picnic, we will select another park nearby - probably Battle Creek. If you would like to attend, please e-mail green to let her know
you'll be there and what you'll be bringing to share.
We will post the park as soon as we have finalized the plan.

OK. First off, congratulations to
this Aaron guy. I hope you are a long time medallion hunter, or at least a
dedicated one. If you are just one of these people who
found out there was a medallion
hunt, one night ago on the news, I hope you die! The news stations should be
f***king boycotted for this whole thing. To give out
clues on the air, to tell the world
(the non-hunting world) where everyone was at ,and why was uncalled for and
unforgivable. Local news people, you will be
remembered when it comes time for
re-election. Out with Diana Pierce, DIE! DIE! DIE! Don Shelby! Go to hell Jeff
Passolt!!! You all suck! KS95 can suck my
medallion!!!!!!! Joe Soucheray, you
suck too!!!! If you are local and of the news persuasion, you get the
point!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, the medallion hunter who was
interviewed and told the world where
he thought it was hidden and why, I will find you next year and bury you!!!

Failed Marketing Ploys: "I cuss, you cuss, we all cuss for asperagus."
FOUL!!!!!
1) The water tower is not on 3M property, but across McKnight from 3M.
2) The Clue said "peak" - NOT PEAKS!!! as in the xplination. Too, that peak(s) is NOT translucent, but izz transparent!!! Trees on the
opposite side from the park could bee seen thru the glass.
3) Hockey rinks were *not* of same size - but the two football fields were.
Yea, yea, yea. Say "Sour grapes" as much as you like... But... ittiz not. Ittiz a question of semantics...
The clue writer was off base. Translucent was used incorrectly, square footage of area was used incorrectly, and the physical location of
an item was used incorrectly.
Yup. You're rite. Someone *did* find The Med based on the clues. I cannot argue that.
Otay. So we're *not* to take things literally? Like, when ittiz said "translucent" we can just bend the truth and shrug and say, "Well,
*transparent's* otay because The Clue Writer doesn't know any better. And I bet ittiz supposed to be *peak* even tho I can SEE two,
which in *my* mind comes out to "peaks" - but ittiz an optical allusion. The Clue Writer's an idiot and doesn't know any better to get it
right."
Rite.
You know, it would help ssssoooo much if the clues *really* matched the given answers/meanings.
Whoops! Sorry! Being WWWWAAAAYYY too literal here...
NOT!

God I hate when that happens. I was out Sunday digging behind field 4. And gave up because I figured it would be more towards the Southeast corner (after seeing
the True Value sign).
Green, the Sun-Ray peaks appear to be translucent to me. They're obviously not transparent because one can't get a clear view through them, and they're not
opaque becasue one can see something through them. That leaves only translucent. Also, from field 4, the peaks appear to be one, as the southernmost one couldn't
be seen IIRC.
See y'all next year.

CHARATER. HES PRETTY FUNNY. WE TALKED AND DUG TOGETHER. THEN HE TAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER AND SAID LOOK. HE
HAD IT IN HIS HAND AND I ASKED HIM IF I COULD SEE WHAT THE MEDALLION LOOKED LIKE. NO BIGGER THAN A HALF A DOLLAR.
IT WAS IN A LITTLE KNITTED POUCH. HE TOLD ME NOT TO TELL ANYONE AT THE PARK BUT I THINK THEY FIGURED IT OUT WHEN I
WAS SWEARING SO MUCH WHILE I WAS WALKING BY THEM. OH WELL THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!!

Say, aren't the baseball parks on the WEST side of the park??? What's with that clue explanation saying something about 'orient'? Am I just bass ackwards? I mean,
I thought about the orient/east thing, but the other side of the park seemed to fit in better this year . . .

Aaron,....or Anyone who knows! If you're around - were you closer to the bench or the tree? In front of the House or off to one side. I was digging there this
morning and want to know how close I actually was. Thanks.

Ares....
Sollie, Cha-lie. Transparent.
I wrote those puppies - NOTE: PLURAL... (ahhhh-hemmm....) off on... Lettuce see... Yesterday! It was foggy on Monday.
Yesterday, you could clearly see the trees beyond - to the south - those... WHOOPS!!! *that* peak. No brainer. See trees = transparent.
Ares, I was digging w/a minimum of one folk that was really hung up on the SunRay pyramids. But because of the clue, "TRANSLUCENT" and because I could
PROVE (see above, trees) it was "TRANSPARENT" we nixed the idea. And you must admit - there WAS a "translucent" *peak* well within sight.
No matter what, no matter WHAT, the Clue Writer did NOT use the correct word/wording. Especially when you realize there was truly a "translucent peak" - AND
IT WAS SINGULAR - well within sight of where The Med was found.
Again, still I say,
FOUL!!!

Well, this was my first year trying, and I never even made it out to the park, which is what depresses me the most. Too many meetings, kid activities, and kids
homework this week. But I'm definitely in for next year, and thanks to all you guys I know more about interpreting clues and how to get started. Thanks, everyone,
and see you next year!
To the one who asked, the orient referred only to the park being on the east side of St. Paul, not the east side of the park. I just read the clue explanations.
WE4 - 09:24pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20670 of 22142)
I'm sooooo happy the torture is over!!! That's what it was this year!!! Get a new clue writer!!! Explanations are LAME!!! I agree "orient" should have meant the east
side of the park - not "east" side of St. Paul - - especially in CLUE #9 (maybe Clue 2 or 3)!!! BAD!!
Not to mention the St. Paul cops were out giving parking tickets today. How bad is that!!! Where were we to park??? Support the Winter Carnival and bam - as
bad as the "crappie cop"!!!
Was Aaron a "WaterHead"???
See ya next year!!

Just saw Aaron's news conference on CH 9. He had NEVER hunted for the medallion before - Conway was across the street from his buddies apartment - that's
the ONLY reason he went out and looked. JHEEEEEZ! He didn't even have a button!! I would have offered to turn it in for him - for a nominal fee of course.
Sorry for being such a NEWELL supporter in the early going - hope that didn't hurt anyone's chances. Then again - the clues this year were bizarre. Being on the
cooler was better this year than last year. This was fun - and frustrating.
Good luck to everyone in adjusting to the stark reality ahead.

I'm glad to hear that this thing is over, and can understand why we had such a hard time. Maybe if the clues made more sense like in the past. As most of you know
on here, I'm 17 yrs old but my dad has been hunting for 38 yrs and this is the worst job of clue writing ever. When the paper has to different words amongst the
internet and the paper it doesn't help either. I am glad to see that so many people turned out this year to hunt in a City of Saint Paul RECREATION CENTER, just
because of the greater amount of money, I hope you realized how much fun this is and continue to hunt in the future.

I Wanna Do It Again....I Can't Wait Another YEAR!!!
I just want to say to the clue writers thanks for such an inconsistent mess of clues this year, are ya new? were ya drunk? acquiring some kind of aging
disease(senile)? what is it? had a little mad dash to get this done at the last second? Here are my complaints and hear me ROAR! First Off 3m wasnt necessarily and
object on high, in consistent with past clues. Second, very unclear with the orient meaning either east side/east side of the park. Three, and the worst of all is the
Peak not peaks in view from the hiding place - B.S. Maybe I'm just to upset about not finding it, but damn those hockey rinks weren't even close to the same size.
Very Lazy job on some of the clues, which isn't like them in the past, I've never actually complained about clues before. See Ya Next Year People! :)

I had a great time chatting with the cooler crew this year. I've been hunting treasure for most of my 47 years. Always at the right park, but never the right spot though
usually have walked over it a time or two in pursuit. Tuned in to the cooler last year just to observe but nevery posted. This year I did some posting on Sun. a.m. as
soon as I knew it was Conway (Mushie and Rock are you sorry you didn't believe me sooner?, I tried to tell you.) Hope to be a little more interactive next year --
you guys are a riot. It's so fun to look, but also really fun to "chat". Like they say, the joy is in the journey not just the final destination. Thanks for the memories.

I do think the clue writing was interesting anyways. The explanations fit. Of course, not as much as we read into them. It was unfortunate about the places/planes
thing...but it did mean the same thing. I always figured frozen planes or frozen places were the same thing, though I know others had other theories.
These were better than the one year it was down at Kellogg Park! That year I really thought the clues were terrible. I guess it's a matter of perspective. At least we
were in the right park. The year it was at Kellogg, we were sure it was at Harriet Island! LOL!!!!

We were going to take our kids medal-hunting tomorrow if it wasn't found, but since it is, we wan to take them to the Como slide instead. Anyone know how late
it's open, or how I can find out? Do we need to bring our own sleds? Sorry this is off the subject, but I'm a new internet user & don't know where to get all this info.

2nd Year Hunter. I LOVE THIS STUFF
You know I was finally getting over the hole issue that it had been found then I see them on TV and they just stated to look last night for the first time and the only
reason they looked is because his friends apartment is across the street. They didn't even study or look at the clues they seen everyone there so they went out. That
perturbs me.
Golden Boy - 09:46pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20688 of 22142)
Dave - good meeting ya. I think next year's strategy should be either 1) Lose your job before you hunt, 2) don't look at or try to decipher the clues - just watch the
news about the time the 10th clue comes out, 3) don't buy a button, and 4) show up at the park with a shovel and a sign that says "WILL DIG FOR FOOD".

days. Thank You and Goodnight.

Have to say that the clues were, in a way, quite ingeneous. Most could be interpreted in many ways which kept people thinking and talking till the very end. Maybe a
little more attention to detail next year. All in all it was a blast. Great weather, fun folks! Gotta go get that shovel out of my trunk - I feel like O.J. Simpson, driving
around with that thing. Congrats Aaron.

and how far from Conway? Were you digging or not? Was it in "virgin" snow or do you think it had been dug up and/or move? Put us out of our misery PLEASE.

Phillip D. I don't know if that's true. I just did a search on the cooler to see if any aaron niedorf had posted before tonight and they actually go back a few days. The
first post by him had him searching BC...don't know if he did any actual digging....and IMHO i wish i hadn't read back because I didn't really like the tone of his
posts. I don't know...Why do people have to be so mean spirited. So some people were still digging in crosby up til a few hours ago...or some other person keeps
posting "where's HP?" after it's been said fifty times...i just don't see the need for name calling and slurs. It makes me feel tired. I came on the cooler to share ideas
...and more often then not left because it had downgraded to pages upon pages of people posting false "the medallion has been found" posts or posts that were just
negative, hate filled spewings. I hope the prize is less next year...maybe people will be nicer.

CHARATER. HES PRETTY FUNNY. WE TALKED AND DUG TOGETHER. THEN HE TAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER AND SAID LOOK. HE
HAD IT IN HIS HAND AND I ASKED HIM IF I COULD SEE WHAT THE MEDALLION LOOKED LIKE. NO BIGGER THAN A HALF A DOLLAR.
IT WAS IN A LITTLE KNITTED POUCH. HE TOLD ME NOT TO TELL ANYONE AT THE PARK BUT I THINK THEY FIGURED IT OUT WHEN I
WAS SWEARING SO MUCH WHILE I WAS WALKING BY THEM. OH WELL THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!!

A notice to all Medallion Hunters:
Many of you have expressed concern over the condition of Conway Park. In the next few days, we will be contacting park personnel to see if they will accept our
help in restoring the park. We will post information here, and will have sign-up sheets available at the Rehash Bash this Sunday.
Last year, some of us spent Earth Day at Cherokee Park picking up trash and having a picnic. Not necessarily in that order! But, someone had been there long
before we got there (probably earlier in the spring) and the park looked really nice. We're thinking that, rather than wait for Earth Day this year, there are probably
things that can be done sooner, rather than later, to help return Conway to its pre-hunt condition.
We'll be checking on this, and will keep you "posted". Please post any ideas you have that might contribute to this project.
Thank you!

An open letter to the Pioneer Press/pioneerplanet:
#1 You boost the prize fund to $10,000 and don't expect the deluge of posts on this board. I hope somebody's heads rolled on that one.
#2 What is up with the lame, shambled mess you called clues? Have you ever heard of accuracy?
#3 How about some type of policing on this board? When you have this much activity, you should require actual e-mail addresses. That alone would have cut 1/2
the crap that was posted here.
#4 This was my 3rd year participating online, and the MOST frustrating. This board should have been a more effective tool than it was.
The very BEST part of this debacle??

I would just like to say how much fun I had digging - I think that the best part of the whole thing is how generous people are to share their thoughts and theories -
especially out there in the trenches. I came home so excited last night - not because I found anything, but just because it was fun to be digging elbow to elbow
around the hockey rink... what a mass of people. Thanks to all the friendly people out there...

I just loved being in the park last night. It was the locust stage of the hunt. All the lights, the chinking of the shovels and the buzz of voices noodling clues.
Other fond memories include the night at Newell as Jack Frost was painting his masterpiece and meeting Greg Sax last weekend.

I Wanna Do It Again....I Can't Wait Another YEAR!!!
ON THE WINNER AARON. People, that more than likely wasn't his earlier posts, someone could easily have altered the last name, take a look! The spelling is
wrong SOMEONE is trying to make him look bad!?
Grandma honeybearrr - 11:19pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20722 of 22142)
Goldfish Gal, guess I'm glad that I didn't read aaron's post cause I like to give people the benifit of the dought till they give me reason to think otherwise. He did
seem nice in the post I read and on the news...also glad to hear he was going to donate some of the money (if indeed that was him). This was my first experiance
with cooler crew and it was very interesting and enjoyable hope I get to do it again next year
Those Medalling Kids - 11:24pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20723 of 22142)
This year's chat room wasn't as civilized as last years, but there seemed to be less people claiming that the medallion had been found. I think we should help with the
park, especially the ball fields. Those got decimated... :(
FOOLED YA - 11:24pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20724 of 22142)
the new hunt is on
That's how I spell my name you diggin fool!
Like I said I never searched before and couldn't believe all the maniacs when I got there. I was there for about 10-15 min when I seen it.
I do wish everybody could have found it and I did luck out. But isn't that usaually how it happens?
I was upset at a guy out there who started bad mouthing me when I wasn't digging!!!
Those Medalling Kids - 11:25pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20725 of 22142)
I don't think it was Aaron writing those earlier messages. It is darn easy to say you're him. On a side note, I say we should get together next year before the hunt and
take bets on what park it will be in.

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
Those medaling kids...we will probably do that again too. This year we had a prehunt bash at Patrick McGovern's on the 23rd of January. Next year we'll need to
find a bigger place. Our early predictions were Phalen...and because it wasn't there this year, I predict it for next!

Grandma....Nope....but some of us have met after last year's hunt. Can you make it on Sunday to the rehash bash at 11:30?
We have met some new people this year out in the field at Conway, Newell and the Capitol Mall. This year we were all over the place!
Those Medalling Kids - 11:35pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20730 of 22142)
Heh, we met last night... just a short distance from the medal!! And I have to look at things before I make my prediction for next year's hiding place... :)

I'll say it again...
Life off-line is something quite new
Especially if you're a member of the Cooler Crew
The jig is up, they found the puck
Say it together , "What the @#$%!"
My shovel is broke and my ice pick is dull
I fell on my butt and fractured my skull
I'm not ten grand richer but i'm not all that sad
While hunting our quarry great fun has been had
So stowe your gear and put together a plan
Like a loyal St. Paul Winter Carnival fan
Do not pout and don't you fear
They'll hide it once again next year
See you all next year!

Hey, I was at the capital Mall, Newell, and Park between History Center and Vo-Tech, but havn't been able to hunt since Monday night....waiting for arrival of 10th

able to make it.

Okay, the medallion hunt is over and I can deal. I know the rest of you hearty souls can, too. So what's next? Maybe a bock hunt in New Ulm in less than two
weeks? Check Cooler Crew - Bock tomorrow afternoon for more info.
Congrats to the goombahs (said in best good-natured tone of jealousy) that found the medallion. You'll be St. Paul legends for eternity. And as much as I loathe you
right now, I'll do my best to make sure that's so at Cooler Crew - Medallion.

Hi Greg! Have you sent button art yet? Great meeting you this weekend. It was one of the highlights from this year's hunt.
Those Medalling Kids - 11:58pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20741 of 22142)
No grandchildren for me, but then again I am only 22. Terry, I should be there. The site hasn't been determined yet, has it?
Kitchica Puss - 11:59pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20742 of 22142)
I figured out why I can never find the dumb thing,it's cause I always have a button. It seems like whoever finds it never has the button. I'm not gonna buy one next
year, maybe I'll have better luck then!

the new hunt is on
A blonde wanted to go treasure hunting. She'd seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary "tools" together, she made for the nearest
frozen lake. After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to chop the ice Suddenly---from the sky---a voice boomed, "THERE is no TREASURE UNDER
THE ICE!" Startled, the blond moved further down the ice, poured a Thermos of cappuccino, and began to chop yet another hole. Again, from the heavens, the
voice bellowed, ""THERE is no TREASURE UNDER THE ICE!" The Blond, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, set up her stool,
and tried again to chop her hole. The voice came once more. ""THERE is no TREASURE UNDER THE ICE!"
She stopped, looked skyward, and said, "Is that you, Lord?" The voice replied, "No, this is the Manager of the Ice Rink!"

The 2nd annual rehash bash this Sunday at 11:30 am. Park to be confirmed in the next day or so. Conway has not the facilities for a picnic. :(
Everyone's invited. E-mail green if you can make it and let her know what you'll be bringing. It's a pot-luck type thing.
Eagle Eye - 12:07am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20750 of 22142)
Kitchica: There will be a re-hash bash this Sunday at 11:30am, probably at Battle Creek, but watch this board for an announcement of the location!!! The re-hash
bash is an opportunity to meet your new online friends face-to-face, and to figure out why we read so much more into the clues than what was actually there!!! Hope
you can make it!
Those Medalling Kids - 12:08am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20751 of 22142)
Just write a bunch of sentences that rhyme, but start the sentences by spelling out Battle Creek... :)

way it is. Hope to meet you at the torch light parade this year.

I could work on that. In between figuring out what I'm bringing on Sunday and trying to get my house back in order. Things sure do go downhill during the hunt.
Eagle Eye - 12:11am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20756 of 22142)
Anybuddy want to see what Clue #13 might have been???
Clue Number 13:
You're almost there, you're getting close,
If you're in Conway Park,
You've traveled the full circle,
You've searched from dawn to dark.
Stand in the northwest corner,
You'd better hurry fast,
Get over all your thinking that
You're an iconoclast.
The throngs are pressing closer,
They see the four-five-nine,
They'll soon be getting ruthless,
'Cause they see trees in a line.
So hurry, grab your shovel,
Your chopper and your hoe,
And stand midway 'tween tree and bench,
You've now not far to go.
Now dig a bit, and hope a lot
That you're not being watched...
You'll find the long-sought treasure,
All wrapped in something crotched.
Those Medalling Kids - 12:12am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20757 of 22142)
Yeah Terry, you're right. I mean heck, we now have to go back to work and school, and actually concentrate on what we're doing? Where's our distraction? On the
plus side, we've gotten rid of those individuals who detracted from the cooler chat...

KangaJack - 12:16am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20759 of 22142)
I don't know who wrote the clues, but it was obviously not done by anyone with a creative mindset. The clues should take ingenuity and inteligence to decipher, not
simply a street map. Each clue should lead you closer to the treasure, not simply restate the park. Truthfully, your clues would have been much more creative and
interesting had they been applied to Newell Park. Examples: Clue 3 Numbers keep score and adorn the front door Now do your best to figure these out a Nine and
a Five and somewhere a Four Get these right and you'll shout! Meaning: Address on the corner of Taylor and Fairview has a 9 and 5, and somewhere in the park is
a tree shaped like a four.
Clue 7 Somewhere in here there's a clue quite clear If you think first of trees in a line from this a name will appear that could lead you to a valuable sign. Meaning:
East side of Newell park along Wheeler has trees that have grown up into a power line(trees in a line). This power line leads you to Hewitt Ave(A name will
appear). Follow Hewitt down to Fairview and bolted to a pole is a sign for earning dollars at home with cash bonus(valuable sign).
I could go through all of the clues, but I'm getting more upset by the minute thinking about the moron who wrote those insipid clues.
Call me bitter Call me what you will, I'm not a quitter I must drink some swill.
Bugger Off!!

behind the names..

come on Sunday. Sounds like fun!

I wish I could have found the medallion. Then people could have said "And I would have found it, if it weren't for those medalling kids!" Like everyone else, I am off
to bed. Good night...

whats up every one... of course i had to work when i wanted to explore the north side of the park today... left at 3pm... was anyone close to him when he found
it??? and just a note... these clues sucked big time... somehow "a translucent peak" meant you could see 2... the large red object HIGH IN THE SKY was 3m sign
and not the "sun-ray" shopping sign... 9,5,somewhere 4 meant 459 address??? huh??? idiots... what did 954 have to do with keeping score??? i know theres a
scoreboard but the 954 seemed tied to the score part... oh well... just grumblings... Good Luck to all in Hunt2000

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I just read the explanations of the clues and I am VERY disappointed. First off, the hockey rinks are NOT the same size. And what is the deal with the water being
on top of a 3M building and not THE water tower? I'm shocked 954 was really an address. I don't like how random words have meaning not related to the phrasing
of the clue, for example, tome referring to the library instead of the man. I think my explanations of the clues were much more poetic and they should let me write the
clues next year.

AW: Hear,hear!
Allison Wonderland - 01:03am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20770 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I also think frozen places of equal size should still be North Pole/South Pole leading you to the utility poles running north and south amid the park. That made sense
to me, especially with the trees ins a line (trees are slang for utility poles) that led to the TRUE VALUE sign. When I saw that I thought the clue writer was a genius.
Now I think he's a dork. And another thing, SunRay does have two peaks. Why didn't he just say that? The peak of the rec center fit it better. It was only one peak
and was truly translucent.
Allison Wonderland - 01:10am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20771 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I also don't know how anyone could have found the medallion from these clues except by dumb luck. One clue implied it was near the library by saying YOU'd be
near your goal. It was nowhere near the library and the library was not near a hockey goal according to a normal person's definition of near. He told us to look for
frozen places of equal size that were not equal at all, and then the treasure wasn't really near there anyway. So only by randomly picking through a spot somewhere
on that end of the park could anyone hope to find it. I wish they would write these clues so that if you're clever enough, you can figure out exactly where it is, go
there, and be able to get it within 15 minutes. I also think they should give clues, no matter how hard, that would allow you to know almost exactly where the
treasure was by the third clue if you're smart enough to figure it out. But then maybe that's just me hoping the money will go to smart people and discriminating
against the stupid.

tommymeboy - 01:42am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20773 of 22142)
all I can say is what kind of moron would go through all of the bother to hunt for the medallion and not spend the 3 bucks to double the prize to 10 grand?
Amy Mo - 01:46am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20774 of 22142)
Wow, this is the fist time that I heard someone found it. It's damn near 2:00, and I've been at work. Last time I was on was20,000 clue, 700 ago and some of those
dumb shits still didn't know it was in Conway Park. I hope it went to a vet hunter. It's been fun. This is the first thing I've been addictied to. On Line ofcourse,
yuppes, besides Freecell. Yippy! We'll Good-bye! Check back later to read some history!! CHOW

Hello cyberhunters, Just wanted to say thanks to everybody for the great information. This was my first year hunting, and I'm now addicted! I just got done writing a
paper for Theology 411: Developing a Christian Worldview, which should have been written long ago, what can I say? I had medallion fever. Wanted to give a
special thanks to Allison Wonderland, you should write the clues!! Not the jacka$$ at the PP!! Sorry, just venting my anger a little, don't know if it's from my
interpretation of the clues or the writer of the clue's interpretations! Also would like to thank the guy from Red Wing, he was a senior in High School staying at his
friends uncles house in order to hunt. He offered his thoughts on the clues, and he was just at the wrong field otherwise this kid would have found it! Good Luck
Next Year Everyone! Maybe I'll become a member of the CoolerCrew next year, I've got the fever!!!!

cont. from #20780. Tromping thru the verbal trash, one can't help but notice how he goes from a jerk, to a cocky jerk! My impression is one flipping the coin at his

Hey AllieGo,
We're going to be in town until Sunday, then we are heading back to Phoenix for sum fun in the sun. It was a fun hunt. Try our E-mail if you get a chance before we
go. We weren't going to get to it this year because we followed one clue down the Prim-Rose-Path instead of the Sugar-Lump-Path. Anyway, like they say, there's
always next year and hopefully we will have our Snow Waster perfected by then!!
Take care, "The Professionals"

how many of you think that this whole thing stinks? Someone care to tell me why the yarn around the medallian was clean and white when it was supposedly hide in
the snow for almost 2 weeks. On Tuesday night there were 2000 to 3000 people looking for this thing. This guy comes along, digs 10 times in the exact same place
everyone else did and he finds it? I think the PP has some tall explaining to do. I think we've all been used. I am one P.Oed subscriber, maybe the StarTrib is a
better newspaper.....

jennyjenny - 07:14am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20825 of 22142)
I'm very disappointed this year. Usually, I wait until the around the 9th or 10th clue to go out looking (and usually follow the crowds). This year I actually started
from the beginning and REALLY studied them. As usual, the person who found it was someone who just happened to decide to go out because everyone else was
there. Next year I have to remember to do the same. Why bother if the clues are misinterpreted early in the game?
Is anyone disappointed with the transclucent peak clue? THe peaks on SUNRAY are totally see through! Only the peak that is on the recreation center is
translucent. Also, I totally ignored the house that had the 954 address (or 495) whatever, because of the somewhere a four phrase. That led me to believe the 95
were together and then a four. I'm very disallusioned this year.

carnival commitee - 07:51am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20837 of 22142)
When doing a search on Niedorf and reading every one of his sick comments to the people,the water cooler gang, the writers of the clues and to the Winter
Carnival, It makes the whole thing seem worthless because someone like Aaron Niedorf happen to see it. Hey Aaron didn't you get enough attention growing up.
Sounds like you are pretty hard up for a girl. By the looks of you use the 5,000 and clean up your act and by the sound of your voice and the words coming out of
your mouth, did you even get past 4th grade? Are you even sharing the money with your two friends? , or are those two guys ones that yelled PIE and you wanted
to have a couple of fake friends by your side on TV. Better watch out when you have that party, you might have a lynch mob there to meet you. In one sentence you
are sorry in another your not. But just remember the most important thing God knows the truth and what comes around goes around.

and just HAPPENED to go in that corner AND just happened to be at his friend's apartment across the street. We are the dumb ones to every year study the clues
and feverishly dig everynite. jj

the dude just edited his preferences and changed his name to Aaron Niedorf its easy.So all his messages now look as if they were from Aaron Niedorf ,but Im sure
the guy who found the Medallion never even read or posted on this board.

jennyjenny, Do a search on his name and read everything he has written in the water cooler from the beginning to the end and then state your opinion. I could care
less that he won. I do not like the way he treats human beings. I bet if he has any kind of animal or a girlfriend that he is very controlling and evil.

I think the medallion was hidden late Wednesday, there is no way it could have survived this long, and be so white and clean. Medallion hiders are cheaters, and the
rest of us who hunted and put our faith in the Pioneer Press are the big suckers. I bet those fat cats are sitting there laughing at us right now.

I know it's frustrating that Aaron won, but you all need to back down a little. My boyfriend and I were digging 1-2 feet from Aaron and his buddies on Tuesday night
for several hours and he was a nice guy. They had a good system going with one person digging while another raked through the chunks that were broken up. Give
the guy a break!

I just woke up to find a lynch mob and it reminds me of thursday night when the clue came out.
I thought they were chasing Frankenstien through the park, with the lanterns, shovels, and picks!!!!!!!! It was the high light of the hunt and will never be forgotten.
If everybody wants to be pissed at someone be pissed at the PP for the lame clues. I would not be suprised if they dropped it that day.
I was the first one to discover the typo in the inet clues when we were all digging at the north side of the big hockey rink thurs night. That was really strange!
As far as this AN guy who knows. I did see him out there yesterday with his pals but I never thought it would be in that corner. I really thought you had to see the
True Value sign. I now realize these clues are a wate of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also talked to an old timer who said about a month ago a PP van parked in front of his
house at 10 pm and didn't leave until after 1:30 am. It was snowing out. So either he dropped it then or came out to check out the site to write the clues.

Pie--Very odd that you changed your name to Aaron for all your past postings!
Or did someone else do that. If YOU didn't change the past PIE postings to Aaron nierdorf, some other odd duck did.

jennyjenny - 10:07am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20874 of 22142)
PIE--"carnival committee" said that Aaron Niedorf had many postings for the last couple of weeks where he was EVIL. (that's one of the words used to describe
him). Look back at some past postings from Carnival from this morning. Anyways, when doing a search for Aaron niedorf you find many postings from the start of
the hunt. However, there are none from you. Which we all know you have wrote many! And, it's funny that you sound so human now and in past postings you
sounded so inhumane! Either you've been totally disallusioned by the hunt or you have changed the postings to say aaron. Or, as I suggested earlier, maybe carnival
committee did. Or, on the other hand, maybe you're carnival committee also. There is no previous postings from carnival committee in the last 2 weeks and all of a
sudden that name appears today. Interesting, very interesting!

jennyjenny, when going out to read Niedorf's messages he is asking if anyone wants to join him just go to the park and yell "PIE", I have no idea what that means.
Also I read the water cooler all the time I just have not logged on with my opinion until I read Niedorf's comments on people in general.
Also trumanig you should put your feeling out here on the water cooler there are lot of others that feel the same way.
Treasure Digger - 11:03am Feb 4, 1999 CST (#20880 of 22142)
Congratulations, Aaron. Someone had to find it and if it wasn't found then it would have gone to a good cause. That's the real meaning in this game, someone is
GOING TO WIN -- IF NOT US THEN, A CHARITY. I'm not sure why there's so much hate talk happening here, but it's definitely a lot different than it was last
year. Everyone was congratulating Steve and Maureen -- not cursing them for winning. I'm very disappointed -- not of Mom but of all of you.

We also read the clues to believe you had to see 3M, Sunray peaks and true value (boy was that wrong) so we were hunting by the Conway building. I never
thought it would be an address, seeing they used four sort of as an afterthought. Oh well, it was fun. And the Ground Round over there has the best best best bloody
mary's we ever had. All was not in vain!! Had fun. We saw Donut Man on tv, he may have a new career!!!

I agree that the park should have been the place but the PP does state that public ground is the place to look and they did kind of their own thing on this years hunt.
When the clue says seeing something they did it right.

You're right!! These fools will always be diggin in other locations and they'll convince their friends who just got out of the nut house to dig with them!
After reading deeply into these clues and referring them to a psychic we have determined that the medallion is either at.......listen up, because I'm only going to repeat
this once........It's at either Como park...(Perry Como the crooner) or Highland (High in the Sky) or PIE in the sky)
So Ms. Banner and Newk2 get your sorry diggin asses out to one of those two parks and go for it!!!!!!! When you find it let me know so I Can help you manage
it!!!!

But I also could be the one who hides the PIE and we could have a committee of three to help write the clues.
We could make it much more interesting and we could make it last over the doldrum months of march and early april!
We could kick in ??$$$$$ each and do it over coded email! Not only would it be fun, but it would be fair and challenging!
I will tell you one thing it would be alot better than the lame hunt put on by the dimwits at the PP.
We would have rules so we wouldn't wreck any parks or equipment and we could limit it to one of 6 parks. The clues could come out two per week and each clue
could have real meaning and intellectual thought.
We could make it so you wouldn't have to dig and destroy your body!

I think the rules for the 2000 Hunt should be ammended. You must have a register button to participate. It would generate more money for a higher prize. It would
eliminate non-serious treasure hunters like this years winner. $3.00 wont break anybodys bank. This years winner needs to be a bit more humble. You need to at
least acknowledge the effort your fellow treasure hunters put forth.

The idiots who put this thing on should pay for the restoration of the park. I have videos of alot of these baffoons tearing up the place. It's a digrace to the winter

There is no need to wreck anything or to dig in somebodys yard.

The year 2000 is near and we're still acting like we're uncivilized!
The hunt next year better portray the New Millenium in a good light or I'm checking out.
This board was as senseless as the clues and that's why the two went on parrallel planes!!!!!!!

you asked "whats your point". I was just informing you that "Fooled ya" has also come on here as "Pie" since you had asked that question. Nevermind ..this is getting
way too complicated to explain everytime. He thought he was being funny coming in here calling everyone losers/suckers for not finding the medallion. Personally I
think the lights are on and no ones home if you catch my drift..

Agreed. I think he's spent too much time posing as a woman in chatrooms. He thinks we're here to entertain him.

I don't call it fun when people are tearing the $hit out of everything!!!
I actually saw people picking through dog crap.
I can just see people going "eeemm? Looks like the medallion"
Picks it up "eeemm? smells like the medallion", .... Takes a bite out of it and says "nope, not the medallion, it's just dog crap!!!"""

I also think he is completely fabricating his stories about what he saw while "hunting". Personally, I have to question whether or not he's even left his parent's
basement in a while.

Congrats to Aaron! We all come away with something...fun...meeting new people. My sister came away with "a sling". This past Tuesday evening we were over at
Conway Park and at 11:30 am we got the next clue and everyone made a mad dash to the area between the ice rinks (frozen planes...at that time)my sister took a
spill and fractured her elbow. After we left the hospital she said, "if the medallion is not found by Wednesday evening, I will stay at home and keep posted to the
computer" (die hard that she is). There were four of us total that were together looking with the understanding of sharing the purse if we were to find it. My sister
asked, "do I have to be present to win". We'll see you all next year.

FIRST LETS GET RID OF ALL THESE DOGS, I am sick and tired of having to shoe away dogs while searching. Not everyone likes dogs and dogs are not
always friendly to all people. Besides no one likes to step in dog crap and I don't think any of the dog owners who brought their mutts with to the parks bothered to
clean up after them. Folks - this was a medallion hunt not the Westminster Kennel Club. Isn't there a leash law in St. Paul I think that rather then harassing all the cars
as they tried to park they would have been issuing citations to the dog owners who let their dogs dig up the parks. Next year I might have to call in the dog catcher.

spot. #11the hockey rinks were not even close to the same size,& their was no ice at the treasure spot. I'm very disapointed with the news paper&how they came
up with these clues.
