Boy, I must still be tired. My typing is way off.

I think we're all tired, I know I survived on miraculously little sleep the past ten days, because I now realize I was over-analyzing every clue! It's sad. I hope next year they do the hunt justice and someone finds it who is really searching.
Has anyone discussed the rumor that the PP just went and threw it in the tree on the last day? How is it possible that tree was missed by the horde?

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
Hello Everyone.
You know, the media has shown up at the dig site just about every year that I can remember - and I've been digging for 29 years....and once the media was covering people who were at the wrong park! I think there has been more people aware of it this year because of the extra money.
We spend lots of time tearing apart clues and trying to find hidden meanings. In the end the trick is to find the right park, make sure you see everything you are supposed to see, pay attention to anything the clues didn't mention so that some obvious park fixture is not very visible and dig. It has worked that way since the beginning of the hunt. Nothing is different this year. It is the luck of the shovel.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leah Lis - 06:51pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21008 of 22142)
Or that the Med. was actually buried at Conway and the PP dug it up and threw it in a tree? There were NO CLUES on it being in a tree, not like previous years. Oh well, c'est la vie, I guess.

Leah - Don't believe everything you hear. The medallion finder said it was in the snow. You can hear the audio yourself from the Pioneer Planet front page.

The only park I saw on the news was Como. They kept showing these poor misled people thinking they would find it there. That was tuesday while the rest of the world was in Conway. Next year when the prize is back to normal fewer people will be out. I can't wait!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leah Lis - 06:55pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21012 of 22142)
I can't wait until next year either. It sounds crazy, but I do hope they reduce the prize $$$.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Hey, how about a conspiracy theory? The medallion really was hidden by the north/south running utility poles, but when the PP realized they had misprinted the clue Tuesday night they sent a guy to go get the medallion. Then the next day, they arranged to have it "found". They contacted someone on the WC committe who got her boyfriend to "find" it after making a token appearance in the park. Then they changed the explanations of the clues to say it was the hockey rinks they were talking about, as well as changing some other clues to fit the new spot. Some suspicious facts: 1) Someone on the Winter Carnival Button Committee didn't register their button? 2)The medallion was found along a row of trees just as was mentioned in clue #7, yet the explanation doesn't say anything about it being a double meaning. 3)It was found in a container of clean white yarn after having been buried in snow for at least two weeks. 4) The hockey rinks are not the same size. 5) Clue #12 and its explanation was suspiciously absent in the initial posting of the explanations. 6) It is highly uncharacteristic of them to use something as precise and explicit as an address, even if the numbers were scrambled. Plus, that was the first and most commonly dug up stretch of land in the park. Hmmmm.... Believe what you will.

Not to mention a lot of the important landmarks weren't visible from the hiding place.
Brian S - 07:04pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21015 of 22142)
The thing I was never looking for was the 9 5 and 4 together. It made it sound like the 4 was somewhere away from the 9 and 5. If I knew I was just looking for
some address combo of 954 on the same door it would have made things a helluva lot easier.

Where I was digging the clues made so much sense it was actually a thing of beauty. Where it actually turned up, the whole thing was pretty lame. One would have
expected better in general, but especially this year. Maybe they were at one time.
Leah Lis - 07:05pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21017 of 22142)
Hmmmm, not to sound like a fanatic, but it sounds pretty convincing to me!!! Anyone who isn't a least a LITTLE suspiscious is naiive, I think.
Leah Lis - 07:06pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21018 of 22142)
Yeah and I heard someone say that the 4 in the paper read as "sometimes a 4" and on the website it was "somewhere a 4" ???
Allison Wonderland - 07:10pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21019 of 22142)

I heard that too, though it was a little early to fit into the theory.

Call me naive then. Everything that was supposed to be there at that spot was there. You could see everything. I know. We spent the better part of Tuesday digging
around that area.
But if everyone wants to believe in conspiracies, go ahead.
Leah Lis - 07:14pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21021 of 22142)
I guess it just helps in swallowing the bitter pill of not finding it!!! Has anyone here participated in other types of hunts or ones in other states?

Leah - There are bock (wooden goat) hunts in Winona at Schell's Brewery on the 13th of February and at Fitger's in Duluth during March. We've done the Fitger's
hunt....and other cooler crew members have done the Schell one. Ittiz great fun...and only lasts part of one day.
I gotta go. Need to take care of some things that haven't been taken care of for too long.

I don't give a rat's ass that I didn't find it, or that the Hunt is over. Translucent is not transparent, 459 is not a nine and a five, and somewhere a four, etc. etc. etc.
ziggy zee - 07:22pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21027 of 22142)
Here's some more titbits to add to a conspiracy theory, ms wonderland. Yesterday, when i did a search under Aaron Niedorf there were numerous postings under
that name that indicated that he had been hunting for a week or more,but yet in the paper he said he only started this week.And they were almost all mean-spirited
and petty.So today I wanted to look at them again and compare the e-mail address to the posting on the evening of the find from the "nice guy" Aaron. But to my
dismay, THEY ARE ALL GONE!! Could it be that PP doesn't want us to look too close at their new hero? What are the odds of two men hunters with the same
not too common name? There are NONE in th St Paul phone book!
Leah Lis - 07:23pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21028 of 22142)
Well thank god for that! I don't think I could take another ten days of hunting! (Although I probably could....)

Allison: I did a search for "Conway" and I believe you were the first to mention it. Is this true ??
Leah Lis - 07:24pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21030 of 22142)
Yes Paul!! I noticed that too, when i went today to read the posts because I heard everyone talking about him--suddenly it is only him on Feb 3rd. people are saying
that someone posed as him, but how could they pre-pose as him, before he even found it???
Ian - 07:25pm Feb 4, 1999 CST (#21031 of 22142)

Paul, it was one of the juveniles screwing around. The name(s) kept changing.

As soon as the finder was named, they went to preferences and changed the name they posted under. VERY simple to do.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
On Tuesday night at 11:30 when the mad rush began at the hockey rinks I decided I didn't want to fight the crowd so I just wandered around and watched. As I
did, I discovered the hockey rinks weren't at all the same size plus I had a few other problems with them. So I went home and found out the clue had been
misprinted. I figured, of course, because there's no way they could have been talking about the rinks. Then I went back at 5AM without sleeping because I thought I
had figured out the true meaning. I dug for four hours before finally giving up. It annoys me now to think that my whole theory was based on the idea that Clue#11
had accurate information in it.

I believe I was the first person to mention Conway on the net. The first time I went out there, there were a couple of people out there, including The Medallion Kid,
but the kid stopped posting and the other people may not be posters here either. So I wasn't necessarily the first person to figure it out, but I may have been the first
to post. I think I was the first to post the Woodrow Wilson thing too, though again, that doesn't necessarily mean I was first to figure it out. But there is some sense
of victory in that. By the way, WishYouWereHere, I hope you're not flirting because Allison is my last name. David is my first.

I haven't seen anyone produce a map. Maybe they CAN'T! Also, I would find it very very strange if Mr. Nierdorf had been posting here that much and then only
spent such a short time searching. Also, I don't know about those of you, but I would have mentioned this site and these conversations in the interview and I'm sure
the PP would be willing to print such a reference. I just don't see him as a Cooler Crew person.

was someone else and that aaron niedorf is just a lucky guy and maybe a nice one at that, who doesn't like to shovel (who does?). But the clues still were sloppy, but
I had fun being out there and now I think I need to get back to my so-called life -bye all!

The Real Aaron N.
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!"

If anyone gets to read this, as far as I know the spot has not yet been determined because Conway doesn't have the proper facilities. I guess my vote though would
have to be for the "runner up" -- Newell.

This board feels the same as what it probably feels like at Conway about now...very lonely. Sifting through the ruins of what once used to be something very intense.

Just an FYI for all water coolers and Aaron a.k.a. Fooled Ya. During the hunt I had printed clues from the water cooler and guess what I have alot of printed
comments made by Aaron, (this is from the beginning to the end before he won the medallion). Also when Aaron changed his name to Fooled Ya he deleted alot of
comments he had made earlier where he was calling the person or people that write the clues scum bags and clowns that do not know how to write clues, and going
to the park and watching all the people digging and tearing up the place, laughing about it. Guess what we have all the printouts. Also even though you change your
name all this can be traced and archived (verified by the Pioneer Press) so Aaron don't think you are fooling anyone but yourself.

Ziggy Zee or anyone else that still believes Aaron N. wrote all the past nasty posts---
It was already discussed yesterday that WHOEVER PIE (who wrote all the past nasty posts) changed all the names to Aaron. Then PIE came on as someone else
and told everyone to do a search on Aaron Niedorf and see what a terrible, evil man he is. We know it isn't the Aaron that found the medallion. I think this is trully
awful to try to get people to think this aaron person is such a terrible person. Talk about defaming someone. We're all jealous of him for finding the medallion. Of
course, we wish we were the ones who found it. But let it go. A.N. just happened to be at the right place in the park. that's all.

Carnival Committee:
I hope this can be the last said on this subject. Do you really think the REAL Aaron Niedorf typed those??? The name on those comments typed earlier were
originally from someone named "PIE" then he changed to Aaron Niedorf...then to "Fooled Ya" . Everytime he would change his name it changes it on past posts. Do
not believe everything you see on here. It is my belief that the REAL Aaron never posted here at all. It really gets tiresome explaining this to every person that I hear
say how "evil" the real Aaron is. I wish everyone would stop being so gullible all the time on the computer. The poor guy has enemies he doesn't even know about all
because of someones sick joke. I mean no offense to anyone with this comment. It is just my opinion.

We want to take a moment to thank the Pioneer Press, and in particular you Mom, for a real fun Hunt. All the people we saw and talked to were having a good
time, which is what it's all about! We have found a few(10) of these things and also have hidden a few(3) of these things, and we know that hunting for them is a lot
easier than hidding them and writing the clues. It's a lot more difficult writing the clues than meets the *"EYE"*. We got sidetracked by one of the clues and never
made to the "Sugar Lump" spot, but that's the breaks. You suck it up and head for the next Hunt!! Although, 10 G's would have made a nice pile of *"GREEN"*!!
By the way, in case you haven't heard, the Coyotes, because of injuries, are looking for a *"Right Wing"*!!
It has been fun for us, and now it is time for "ALL" of us medall"I"on hunt"E"rs to "GO" home!
And Mom, don't worry about the clues, nobody is perfect, unless it might be "The Professionals"
See you all next year and have a great 1999!! We're outa here!! and heading south. Go Coyotes!!

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Someone made a point earlier about us reading too much into the clues. I think if the clues were sufficiently well constructed, that shouldn't be possible. For example,
Clue #6 where a man of fame offers a useful name. This clue tells us nothing because virtually every park is named after someone famous or is near a street named
after someone famous. There was nothing in the clue to suggest that Babe Ruth was the right answer and the only right answer. I was convinced it was Henry
Hudson because at least Hudson was a useful name (Hudson Guide). But if you can't figure out the answer and then have it "click", then the clue is worthless. By
comparison, with clue #7, once you knew it was Wilson, you knew you had the right answer. Someone claimed that writing these clues wasn't easy. I'm sure its not,
but I'm equally sure I could do it better. Anyone have an idea how to get the job? Perhaps it will be open after this year.
Allison Wonderland - 01:55pm Feb 5, 1999 CST (#21107 of 22142)

Also, to carnival committee, it is quite obvious that Aaron Nierdorf never posted anything here. He probably doesn't even know this site exists. If you read his
account of what happened in the paper it is quite clear the internet had no bearing on his search. It is far too easy for a computer savvy person to fabricate the entire
thing as others have already proven so please stop your slander.
jennyjenny - 01:55pm Feb 5, 1999 CST (#21108 of 22142)
Allison wonderland--
I agree also that some of the clues were misleading. translucent? As was said before the peaks at sun ray aren't translucent, they are transparent. I wonder who edits
these clues. At least the clue could have the correct meaning. Also, two even places (planes). Were the rinks even? and by even, did the pp mean flat or the same
size? I'm still confused and a little disappointed.
Anyways, thought I would respond to you. jj

Actually, it said the planes/places were of equal size. They definitely were not. I'd say the bigger one was at least 50% bigger, maybe more. The peak thing is
annoying too. The clue said a (as in one) translucent peak, when Sunray in fat had two transparent peaks. Why even bother using that as the explanation when there
was a single translucent peak readily available at the rec center? Also, what were they trying to say when they said the water on high was a water tower on top of a
3M building. Does such a thing even exist. I'm almost certain its not visible from the park, much less the hiding place. And again, why such a farfetched explanation
when the water tower on McKnight would more than suffice. I don't know if you read my conspiracy theory earlier (which may just be fiction) but in a lot of ways it
does sound like they tried to refit the clues to a different hiding spot than the original and thus had to stretch some of the explanations (as well as rewrite Clue #12
which was noticibly missing for awhile?). The thing that bothers me most is that these clues just don't seem to lead to the alleged hiding spot. They seem to only lead
to the west side of the park and then its good luck from there.

By the way jennyjenny, if you're still here. You weren't too tough on CC. If somebody is going to make accusations against someone and try to blacken their name,
it is VERY important that they have the facts right. And if someone casts doubt on their case, it borders on libel for them to continue those accusations without
substantial proof.

This nut is sitting there laughing, drinking and carrying on like he just got out of the funny farm or something.
He said that he was the guy that found the medallion, arron neardorf. Then he'd keep saying does anyone want some pie. Each time after that he'd say "fooled ya",
sort of like saying c ya! Everybody wanted to kill him because he was so sickening. What's strange is he was sort of funny when he made sense if that's what you
would call it.
He explained that there were two arron neardorfs that wrote in on spelled the regular way and another spelled with a "-" after it. I didn't know what he was talking
about.
I guess he was mostly upset at how these people tore up the playground that he played at when he was a little kid. He even started crying and everything, I couldn't
believe it. This guy was upset. He even said that the real guy that found the medallion, his friend lived across the street from where it was found. He said the guy that
lived in the apartment or house seen the guy hide it! I asked him if he found it before the treasure hunt and he said he didn't know. He had heard there was a GPS in
it to detect if it had been moved. I said "sure".
Anyway when I looked in here this morning I couldn't believe my eyes. Half the stuff he was talking about was in here. I see him in that bar about once a month
because I don't go out much. I think he's a regular, because otherwise they would have kicked him out.

I wonder if the PP has to pay for damage to parks? If so, I wonder if the extra papers they sell during the hunt, and any possible additional ad revenue are enough to
make up for it? If not, what's the point in making the hunt drag out so long?

I first arrived in Conway on Saturday when it was all virgin snow except for a few sled and cross country ski tracks. I returned on Sunday and only a few major
spots had been dug up like the bases on the fields and around the bases of trees. Sunday night I mentioned on the internet that it was at Conway and by Monday a
crowd had started to form. At that time, most everyone who had been there had seen the 459 house and that is where a lot of people began their search. By
Tuesday the place was a madhouse and there was scarcely an untouched spot anywhere near the sporting fields. By Tuesdayu night it appeared everyhting in that
area of the park had been excavated, particularly anything in front of 459.

Me, no I didn't have a chain saw. I was just poking through the snow with a cane hoping to hit it. I think it is sad that the park got tore up, I agree that the clues were
lame, and I suspect there is some fishy going on, but I'm not sure what it is that you're trying to accomplish. You have a lot of good ideas and observations fooled ya,
so why are you wasting your talents on this little tirade against Aaron?

There are much much more interesting accusations to make than just trying to make people believe the finder is an asshole. What about the inconsistencies and
innaccuracies of the some of the clues? What about the fact that someone on the button committee didn't have a registered button? Or that his girlfriend is on said

I don't know if you read any of my earlier postings but I had a theory that the medallion was hidden somewhere else in the park on Tuesday. Then when the
planes/places fiasco occured, someone may have retrieved the medallion. Then they got the boyfriend of someone involved in the Winter carnival, someone
seemingly far enough away from the top people to seem innocent to pretend to find it somewhere closer to the hockey rinks where they could still claim to make
some sense out of the clues. That is why some of the explanations seem stretched, others seem absent, and why clue #12 took so long to appear (they had to rewrite
it). Imagine if the medallion had been found nowhere need the hockey rinks (not that it really was anyway). Can you imagine how many pissed off people there
would be who lost sleep digging by the hockey rinks because of a misprint? Better to compromise the hunt than to compromise their reputation.

I tell you what, i am not going to visit this site again till next year. I sincerely hope that all of the facts come out here. This is my first hunt and i spent over 30 hours at
conway, and i dont think someone could find it in 15 minutes. i also dug exactly where he found it not once, not twice but 3 times. The medallion wasnt there. Maybe
he had the inside on where it was, maybe he didnt. But i do know that the medallion was found by tuesday morning, no questions asked. If there was some wrong
doing here, i hope it becomes known. We cannot, however, blame the pioneer press. they make this fun and possible, and without them, there is no hunt. so lets not
trash talk them. you all better do you homework in the next 350 days, because im gonna find it after the 7th clue next year. have a good year everyone.

I agree with jacques that the area it was found in was some of the most explored territory in the whole park. I can't imagine how it could have been missed for so
long, and then someone finds it in 15 minutes. In the article he made it sound like he was searching somewhere people hadn't really touched and there's no way that
area wasn't gone through at least 10 times. Everytime I was out there, about 10 times altogether, there was always someone digging over there.

Yes the picnic is for real. I guess they had one last year too, though I didn't know about it then. Its being planned by some of the cooler "old-timers" (if you want to
call a two year veteran an old-timer) who got reluctant to post this year because of they felt the quality of the posts this year had gone downhill. The plan is to have it
in the park it was found in Sunday at 11:30AM. At first they didn't think they could do it in Conway, but it sounds like people who can stay up all night in the cold
digging through snow, can manage to have a party without proper picnic facilities. I heard that 25 people went last year, and this year they're expecting closer to 50.
Its a pot luck, but like I said, I believe a barbeque will be the prime source for cooking.

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
Hello Allison and anyone else left here.
Just an update here regarding the rehash bash on Sunday. The last I heard earlier today is that the rec center building does not open till noon....but we will probably
be there a bit earlier than that anyways. I think we will have the use of the rec's tables...maybe we should bring lawn chairs if you have them. I also believe we will
have at least one bbq grill. Further details to follow as those who are making the contact will check in. All details should be finalized by tonight.
Need to get back to work.

Don't know for shure, but we *think* will bee in Conway - we're still working on it. We'll post definates as soon as we know them.
Where ever it will be, ittiz pot-luck, tho we'll need paper plates, plastic utensils, stuff like that.
If you want to grill meat - bring your own, as well as your own beverages.
NOTE: THERE ARE NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ALLOWED IN THE PARK(S). So, just don't.
Will start at 11:30 a.m. - because our clues come out at 11:30 p.m.!!!
Stay tuned for more details. We hope to post everything tonite...

Rite now, I think we've got some chili coming, some yummy noodley dish, maybee some Crab/Artichoke dip... Which if there is any, you best get some FAST!!! I
hear Bee's attending, and I know for a fact that he LOVES that dip and will just pick up the bowl and eat the whole thing!!!
Again, things like paper plates, plastic forks, etc., condiments - you get the drift - are needed.
E-mail me and let me know what you're bringing!!!
I think I'll do corn on the cob again, and if I put a picnic ham in the oven rite now, it should bee done by Sun. a.m.!!! ROFLOLPMP!!!
If there's potatoe salad - IT WILL NOT BEE ME BRINGING IT! And if someone *does* bring it - please NOTE!!!!: You will NOT need 24 lbs. o'the stuff.
Trust ME.

What do you want us to drink? KOOL AID?
Why don't we just have a church service while we're at it!
I could give a Sermon about trashing city parks and bogus Treasure hunts.
If we could get Aaron to come we could put a Frankenstien mask on and chase him through the park with our picks and shovels. It would be classic!!!!
I think people should bring their tools with them so we can compare and maybe trade!!!!
I have Videos of the park! I walked through and interviewed a few people and also have shots of all the important reference!!! It just proves what a joke the whole

I like the idea fooled ya, except do we really need a prize. I'm sure the people who would come to this thing are the kind of die-hards who are in it for the fun and
not the money. Maybe just a really good French silk pie would be sufficient. As for your earlier question, I can only answer for myself that I wouldn't, but I can't
guarantee that others won't chase you through the park with picks and shovels. Fortunately though, torches are generally a key factor in that equation, and it won't be
dark out until the end.

I don't know how long they'll keep this board up or if anyone is reading it anymore. Heopfully i won't after too many more days, but it's kind of fun, still... I read prev
posts and i find Answer Man's theories intriguing. I alslo agree with jenny/jenny, it is really sick to demonize Mr. A.N., I mean--get a life. Theorizing is one thing, and
like Allison said, there's so much else to look at with the PP, you don't really need to personally attack the guy. But some of the people on here are mean and nasty,
if he was--he wouldn't have been the first.
In the end, i decided to go against the crowd and thought maybe it was at Indian Mounds (Iconoclast) and "Frank and Burns" Streets (Sinatra and George). Who I
might mention is the epitome of "crooner" if you look it up in the dictionary (and not Twitty). I figured it was probably at Conway, but didn't feel like fighting the
throng and horde to get it. Alas, it wasn't there. But it was still fun!!! It really bugs me that the clues were inaccurate! Not to mention the hours I spent after the
"planes" clue came out that night w/ a few friends digging at IM--it being near the airport!! ("planes" is also sycamore trees) After I read on here the following
morning about the typo i called the PP about it and they were like "oh, thanks," and very blase. i couldn't believe it! i didn't say anything to them, but I was
like--come on! How could you be so careless??? (and after we were up till four am!) But--it was fun anyway, and my own choice to go off and search wherever,
and i know i read too much into them!!!
Leah Lis - 11:45pm Feb 5, 1999 CST (#21182 of 22142)

there are at least twenty people posting on this board more qualified and gifted to write the clues than the person who did this year!

I agree that it was quite amazing he could find a completely unmolested mound (unmolested enough to be indentifiable as such) in what was certainly the most
investigated area of the park.

I know in Cherokee, the place the medallion was hidden was a place not many people bothered to search until additional clues pointed them there. But the 9-5-4
thing was driving everyone crazy, and the 459 house was the only apparent answer, so that is where everyone STARTED, not ended.

I Wanna Do It Again....I Can't Wait Another YEAR!!!
I'd like to get some kind of summer hunt started, it may not even be too hard to do given a COUPLE sponsors. It could be something similar to the medallion, but
anywhere on public ground in the Metro area (or just Ramsey or Hennepin County Ground), just not buried or in any garbage cans. Absolutely no damaging of
property or digging or hunt would be off. And you would have 12 hours to turn the thingy in, that way the hiding spot could be checked regularly, and if it weren't
there and turned in within 12 hours prize would be forfeited. It could be a big coin with an explanation of what to do if you found it on both sies!! That way anybody
could win. And if registration pins were sold for $5 there could be a bonus prize if you had one, plus that would help cover the main prize if the finder didn't have
one! Given the interest in such a hunt, someone should really look into it! Just need to find a widespread media to carry the clues. Whatcha think people like the
second/third week in June?

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
The bash was pretty cool. Maybe 40 people there. But like I said before I'm not good at guessing numbers of people. Aaron Nierdorf (the real one) came and led
an expedition to show everyone where he found it. But then he left after that. Of course, he still didn't have everyone convinced but oh well. Lots of food and lots of
food left over. The subject of more hunts came up a little bit, but not too seriously. However, I would very much like to do so and would be willing to put it together.
But there's a few questions to resolve. Perhaps, if anybody's still reading this, they can give some input. First, should the search be for a physical object (a little
harder to hide without the snow), or should it just be for some piece of information, like the answer to a riddle? Second, should it follow the same clue a day format
as the medallion hunt or perhaps it can be a single outing where everyone gets together in a certain park one day and then they go from there. Also, if it is a clue a
day, where would the clues appear? Third, should there be a cash prize? If so, how much and where should it come from? I'm eager to hear your thoughts and like I
said, I'd be willing to organize it.

Alan & Jill, He said he found the medallion in line with the 4 trees and another line from the 459 Ruth Address where he could see the numbers on the house. It had
been in a chunk of snow that had gotten icy. A small piece of yarn was visible on the outside of the icy chunk. They got lucky. Many had been digging in and around
that area for several days. I know there was still some unturned snow there, and it appears they found the right patch.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Next year's hunt starts in late January or whenever the Winter Carnival starts. The actual start date and first clue is the Sunday before the offical start of the Winter
Carnival. As for future hunts, I'm considering setting one up around April. I'm not completely decided on the format yet but I'm considering a one day hunt in a single
park where people would have to solve a series of riddles rather than rummage through stuff looking for an object. I'm also considering something on line where
people could get all the information they need to find something from the computer without having to go out anywhere. Its more likely I would need help with that
since I don't know anything about HTML.

Leah...
The Schell's Bock Hunt seems to bee more adult oriented. There's quite a lot of beer and a good time izz had by all - if you get my drift. (I was really surpized the
Police were as lenient as they were!!!)
I don't remember specific kids' activities, I've no need to check on those kind'a things, but it seems that many a fam hunted. It can get to be quite a long haul into the
park, and you CAN'T use a stroller - just too muddy and rocky. Basically, you're hiking Flandrau State Park and just happen to bee looking for wooden goat
heads. So, if you've got toddlers and can't carry them on your back... Don't know if you can do it. But older kids, maybee 6 on up, were out hunting - alone and
with 'rents - and having a great time!
But seems to me I saw something on their Web site about kids and finding bocks...
I'll bee bock in a bit with the link!

I talked to Como Zoo today and they were open to the idea of having some kind of treasure hunt there. It would have to be a fundraiser though so there may be an
entrance fee. As far as the timing goes, it would likely be either March or May as they already have something going on in April. May might be more likely as it will
take some time to prepare, but late March is still a possibility. Any preferences on what kind of prize could/should be offered or how much people might be willing to
pay?

Alison, if we can drum up 100 people and charge maybe $5-10 a head. We could easily pull in between $500-$1000. We would give 15-20% to Como as a
service charge, use 30-35% for throwing a gala picnic for all the hunters, and then give away the $250-$500 remaining dollars to the victor. I would also think that
we would need to buy a trophy or plaque for the winning team so that they will have the ability to gloat and show it off until the net big hunt. Maybe, it could be a
trophy which would revolve from winning team to winning team with each new winning team getting their names added to the bottom of it. I also feel if we keep the
prize money low enough we won't have all the Johnny-come-latelys who went out in search of the medallion at Conway. This will only attract the true blue treasure
hunters who feel that outsmarting everyone else is much much better than any financial prize.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I was planning on doing an email to all the people here (cheapest, most effective way of advertising). I was hoping we could get 100 people at around $10 each, if
that doesn't sound realistic. Some of the money may go towards a prize, or its possible the Zoo may be able to drum up a corporate sponsor to donate a prize (or
maybe if some of you want to help, you can help put together a prize package of donated prizes). As far as a picnic or some party kind of party connected to the
event, I agree we would have to do something to make people really feel like they got their money's worth. Again, the possibilities are that some of the entrance fee
money would pay for it, a corporate sponsor would pay for it, or individual donors would help put it together. I think in the end though, to make it worth the zoo's
time in helping to do this, we would need to raise as much money for them as possible.
Allison Wonderland - 04:38pm Feb 9, 1999 CST (#21244 of 22142)

Oops, I meant to say I hope 100 people isn't UNrealistic. I'm sure there are that many who would like to do it. The question is, will that many pay for it?

Actually, I was thinking I wasn't going to hide anything at all. I was thinking of using a set of riddles where you can solve the riddles using just your brain and your
eyes and you would never need touch or disturb anything.
Allison Wonderland - 03:28pm Feb 10, 1999 CST (#21247 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Do you think people would pay to do the hunt if there was no cash prize, only a nice trophy? A rotating trophy would be nice, but it may be difficult to get it back
year after year. Right now I'm aiming for May 1st. As far as a picnic goes I'm thinking I'd like to do it afterwards, but we may have to do it before as it may be hard
to predict how long the hunt will take. In May the Zoo grounds are open from 8-8 and the building from 10-6. I'd like to have it go on during the time in which the
park has the most open access. So maybe we could plan on ending it at 6 and if no one has won, the person/team who has solved the most clues would be the
winner.
Allison Wonderland - 03:34pm Feb 10, 1999 CST (#21248 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
As far as the format would go I was thinking of using something called a DOUBLE CROSS. If anyone out there gets GAMES magazine you know what I mean.
There would be 20-24 clues to solve. When each one is solved, the letters of the answer are entered into a grid. When the grid is completed it will spell out a riddle
which would lead to the final answer. The clues would require people to get information from around the park, but none of it would require anyone to touch or
disturb anything in the park.
Allison Wonderland - 03:43pm Feb 10, 1999 CST (#21249 of 22142)

If anyone is still reading this and really wants to help these would be the areas available:
Publicity
Registration
Prizes
Refreshments/Party (though Blue Bell Enterprises has the first right of refusal for any catering of events related to the zoo.)
Day of Event Assistance
Puzzle (though I'd like to keep this committee as small as possible to avoid leaks).

One thing I don't get exaclty is why Como Zoo needs the money.? Aren't they a public zoo supported by tax dollars? And how are you going to determine what they
get, or who gets it? Don't they have some standard policy on using their facilities? I mean they must be open to public for group events...?? One option might be to
get a charity group involved, if you want some of the proceeds to go to that. 10$ bucks a head is kind of a lot. You could start an association and have a newsletter
and charge 10$ toward an annual event such as this and include it as an annual membership. Then the catering could just be a la carte, or paid for per item. i certainly
wouldn't want to be responsible for the food (these things always cost more than planned. ask anyone who's done a wedding). It seems like a great idea, but lots of
things to work out. The best scenario would be if you had a sponsor who would defray the cost. But, it's also nice to do things without some corporation. and if you
put a lot of time into it, you should get something out of it as well. anyway--just some thoughts.
Allison Wonderland - 07:12pm Feb 10, 1999 CST (#21252 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
Actually, I don't recall how much of Como Zoo is paid for by tax dollars and how much is paid for by donations but I do know donations play a large role,
especially in making improvements. The advantage of attaching to a group like that is that they already have a lot of resources (corporate contacts, newsletters,
computers, office staff, etc.) It also helps to simplify a lot of legal issues. Green suggested there would be liability concerns and insurance requirements. This way the
city would take care of that part. The park would be available for something like this if we did do it independently, but I think it would be easier to do in conjunction
with them. And then they basically would be the "charitable" group. As for why this one in particular, its just that I have connections there already so it makes it
easier. $10 isn't a set figure either. It was just a guess I put out there. I'll take it that your vote is that its too high.

Starting a club to do year round events like this may not be a bad idea though (hmmmm...maybe even a business prospect). Let me know if you can elaborate
further.

...A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money." - GG Liddy
A.W. - What do you think what be a good business strategy to approach this club idea with. Should we attempt to market it just locally or regionally or state wide
or how bout even nationally.
Any ideas?, we all need to get together and brainstorm.
Leah Lis - 12:13pm Feb 11, 1999 CST (#21255 of 22142)
I think to start it locally would be the best idea. From that you can build to a national level--if you want. But that isn't necc. better than local. But I think it could go
statewide, obviously. Especially if it's around a TH (treasure hunting) theme. It would be great to bring awareness to the 'sport' and encourage more hunts throughout
our state! I guess i say club, based on my experience of running one(university/acadmenic)but it could also be an 'Association' per se. I don't know. There's a lot of
ways to go. As a business, there are professional 'hunt planners' by the way. i located a few of their websites and they weren't bad.

I think Como is a great spot, by the way. And $10 is not too high, for me depending on what the whole picture is.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
The only thing I would be worried about with a business is where would the hunts take place? Could we count on getting permission to use public facilities for free?
Would there be outrageous insurance costs? Could we put them on often enough and have them sufficiently well attended to actually make a living off of it (or maybe
it would have to be a venture on the side)? Or maybe it would have to be offered like a catering service where the client takes care of the above details and we just
do it for their event and they pay us?

As far as the admission price goes, it occurred to me last night that we would pretty have to charge on a team basis. Say a couple were to participate. Do you think
they would really par separately so they could each enter the contest knowing that they'll be working together and splitting the money anyway? I think only one
would pay and the other would get no less satisfaction out of it. So maybe we'll have to charge something more like $10 a team (or more?) and if someone wants to
have 10 people on their team, they'll just have to split the prize 10 ways if they win.

$50 per five person team, I like the catering idea - kinda like those murder mystery dinner party guys, they'll perform at their site or set up something at your site if
we could come up with enough of a team we could contract out hunts maybe to business, social groups, parties, weddings, etc...

Teams could actually consist of anywhere from 2-5 people, but no more. I think this could be great for companies, if they were to contract us out. A lot of team
building type stuff, employee motivation, maybe it would even motivate me to work rather then typing in here all day long. If we can get a name and establish a

Definitely Rush! If you guys are seriously thinking of doing this you should check out some of the professional Hunt Planners already out there and how they do
it(they have alot of time-saving techniqes). This is pretty exciting because you could at least start with an informative website. (However, the one i checked out the
person was a total wordsmith and had a background/degree in team-building/learning etc.)
As far as the Association or Club idea, the fee could cover an annual membership that could just consist of a quarterly newsletter or something and info on
hunting.???
I guess what I don't exactly get is what are you going to tell people their $10 is for?? (cost of food, of prize, of donation to Como, what?) Maybe each person pays
as a donation to Como and then receives clues. I would have no problem paying for myself and my husband IF i knew what it was for. Also again--are you sure you
want to PAY for the catering (that is pre-pay a deposit etc.) and all that when people could just pay per item??? Just my latest thoughts. Let me know if you want to
know any of those websites.

Allison--
How much would it cost to rent a picnic facility from Como? Don't we have to figure out how much it is for that first? And then the rest of the money could go for
prize and food? Or would food be potluck?
Anyways, maybe I misunderstood your past postings on this issue.

If this is to be a Como Zoo fundraiser, there would be no charge. In fact, the picnic may take place on the Donor Plaza of the Zoo where they have their own
pavillion. If that's the case, Blue Bell Ent. would most likely provide food, either on a catering or vending basis. If its moved down to the main picnic pavillions, there
may be a charge for their use but then we'd just be taking money from Como to give it to Como so its not too big a deal. If it is done down there, there has been talk
of having it be a potluck. Personally though, I think bringing pot luck food that won't be eaten for eight hours may be a bit awkward (assuming people bring the food
as they arrive, but don't eat until afterwards). I'll probably have to work it out with the zoo as to what will probably be the best food option.
Allison Wonderland - 02:10pm Feb 13, 1999 CST (#21268 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
This is what I'm tentatively planning on proposing to Como for the spring hunt unless anyone can come up with any good objections/ideas.
Como Zoo Spring Safari (because you'll be hunting amidst exotic animals, get it?)
To be held Saturday May 1 or Saturday May 8
The event will take place in Como Park but will NOT include inside the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, the golf course, the clubhouse, the Zoo Room,
ZooDale (unless they want the traffic?), the docent and education building, or any area with restricted access.
Cost: $10 to enter one person, $5 for each additional team member. Children 12 and under would be free. (That would be about the same cost for a couple as if
they were going to a non-bargain movie). Each team will get a set of clues, an answer sheet, an information sheet about the hunt, and two pencils. Each team
member will also get a special Como Zoo sports bottle which they can bring to "home base" at any time for a free fill/refill (of what I'm not sure yet. Maybe water,
Hi-C, Gatorade, whatever we can get rather inexpensively and it would probably have to be something not for sale at the concession stands.)
Registration will begin at 9AM at the Donor Plaza (to get people looking at all the donor information while they're waiting to start). The event begins at 10AM when
the clues and answer sheets are handed out. The event will run until someone completes it or 6PM, whichever comes first regardless of whether or not all individual
clues have been solved yet. If the event finishes before 6PM, runners will place notices at places specified in the team's clue/puzzle packet.
The prize for the first team who solves the puzzle, or for the team that has solved the most clues in case no one solves the overall puzzle by 6PM will be $100
awarded to the winning team, to be divided amongst themselves as they see fit. In the case of a tie, the prize money will be divided equally among winning teams first,
and then among team members. A further prize of $5.00 will be offered to a team each time they are the first one to report back to home base with the correct
answer to one of the clues (I was thinking of hiding special coins at or near each clue site, but that went against my don't touch anything policy). Thus $200.00 in
total prize money will be available.
The nature of the puzzle will be as follows: There will be 20 clues (approximately) representing word puzzles, logic puzzles, visual puzzles, etc.. When a team has
figured out the answer to one of the clues, they enter it onto the answer sheet in the space provided. The answer sheet will then direct them to enter each letter of that
answer into a specific place in a grid. When the grid is sufficiently filled, it will spell out a message that will be the clue to the final puzzle. The first team to report back
to home base with the answer to the final clue will be the winner.
Following the event there will be a picnic (in the picnic pavillions if available or at the Donor Plaza Pavillion if not). People may bring their own food or purchase it
from Zooper Foods. If the picnic is on zoo grounds, it will be ended at 8PM.

Another thing, for all you connected people out there. If you'll notice, I mentioned additional prizes for anyone who is the first to solve a particular clue. The
reasoning was that in the Medallion Hunt, if you're totally clueless (so to speak) about the clues, then you just don't hunt. Nothing lost nothing gained. But if you've
paid money to participate, and then get handed the clue sheet and feel as though you have no idea about most of them, you'll feel cheated. At least this way, if you
can be the first to solve even one of the clues, you'll win something. But that aside, I'd actually rather not offer $5 prizes. I'd rather give away things like pairs of
movie tickets, free haircuts, bowling passes, etc.. So if any of you know anyone (or are someone) who might donate these kinds of things, let me know.

Allison Wonderland - 02:53pm Feb 22, 1999 CST (#21276 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I just got back from Como Zoo and there is good news and bad news. The good news is that they really liked the hunt idea and are excited to do it. The bad news
is, not this year, but next year. They said they had already made their plans and committed their resources for this year and they didn't think they could add things to
their calendar at this point. Especially with an untried event like this one. So now there are some things to try and figure out.
I'd still like to do a hunt and have gotten several elements in place already. But now some things will need to be reconsidered. The biggest question is who's going to
sponsor the hunt? I'd still be happy personally to do it for Como next year, but I want to do something this year. So the possibilities are:
1) Find another charity to sponsor it and raise money for them (and we could still probably do it at Como, being public property).
2) Just do it as a private club function where we try to calculate the total cost of the event and divide it evenly among participants.
3) Do it as a public, possibly for-profit, venture.
Putting the event together will actually be the easy part as far as I'm concerned. I have experience doing this kind of thing and the elements have already been falling
into place. The biggest questions to me are money and liability. It would be virtually impossible to do this thing absolutely free. Therefore the costs of the event either
have to be donated by someone, or there would have to be an admission fee. If we raise more money than we need, who gets it? If we lose money, who pays it?
And do we even need to worry about liability and insurance for something like this? There was talk earlier of forming a treasure hunting club or business, but we
would need to work out the details of who would be involved and under what criteria/obligations. So I look forward to any input on this matter, posted or private. I'll
keep everyone updated as it progresses.

ATTENTION MEDALLION HUNTERS.... I HAVE SOME INFORMATION YOU MAY NOT WANT TO HEAR, BUT WILL BE INTERESTED IN
NONE THE LESS. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY SEVERAL SOURCES INSIDE OF THE PIONEER PRESS THAT THE
MEDALLION WAS MOVED FROM BATTLE CREEK PARK TO CONWAY PARK AFTER THE 9TH CLUE. THE EXPLANATION IS THAT
CONWAY PARK WAS WHERE THE PEOPLE WERE AT SO THATS WHERE THE MEDALLION HAD TO BE AT. I TOOK THE TIME THIS
MORNING TO GO TO THE SPOT AND LOOK TO SEE IF THE CLUES FIT, AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY DID. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS
THE STUDYING THE PAST CLUE, THIS CAN BE INTERPRETED AS EITHER IT WILL HELP TO STUDY THE PAST TO FIND THE PRIZE, OR
THAT IT IS HIDDEN IN A NEW PARK. IT HAS A DOUBLE MEANING. THE ONE CLUE I WASNT SURE OF AT FIRST WAS THE 954 CLUE,
THEN IT HIT ME, THE MEDALLION WAS FOUND IN THIS SPOT IN 1995, 4 YEARS AGO. ONE MORE STRONG CLUE IS CLUE #5 FROM THIS
YEAR, IT IS FRIGHTENINGLY SIMILAR TO CLUE #7 IN 1995, THE PIONEER PRESS WILL OF COURSE DENY THIS IF THEY ARE ASKED, BUT
MY SOURCES ARE RELIABLE

Incidentally, I don't think they would move the medallion just because people were digging at the wrong park. I think they would just laugh and laugh and laugh. If
that were the case, they would have moved it to Newell. And I thought I was done saying this, but you can't think its at a certain park just because SOME clues fit
that park. ALL the clues must fit it and they did not all fit Battle Creek. It was never there. Now if they moved it from one spot in Conway to another, that's a
different question...

NUMEROUS HOUSES NEAR THE SPOT...A NINE A FIVE AND SOMEWHERE A FOUR REFERS TO THE TIME IT WAS FOUND IN THIS

IN THE NEW (THIS YEAR) HMMMM VERY CLEVER #5 READ CLUE NUMBER 7 FROM 1995 YOU WILL UNDERSTAND #6 A MAN OF FAME
IS JOHN WINTHROP, WHO CAN BE FOUND IN A HISTORY BOOK AT THE NEARBY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL #7 PEOPLE READ WAY TO
MUCH INTO THIS CLUE...THE CLUE QUITE CLEAR IS #5, WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO CLUE #7 IN 1995, THERE ARE 5 TREES IN A LINE
FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST PIONTING NEAR THE SPOT, AND THERE IS A CROSS COUNTRY SKI SIGN WITH AN ARROW

SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT REFLECTING RAYS OF LIGHT AS TO NOT RENDER OBJECTS CLEARLY VISIBLE, WHICH WOULD
CLEARLY BE THE TOP OF THE PICNIC SHELTER, WHICH HAPPENS TO HAVE A "TRANSLUCENT PEAK" COVERING IT #9 NATURALLY A

I still don't buy it. If those are the explanations of the clues, they're even more lame than what was printed in the paper. Plus, why would they care if people were
digging in the wrong park at clue #9, when clue #10 was going to set them straight anyway? People were digging in the wrong parks all along. And why go though
the the trouble of rewriting the last clues, moving the medallion, and risking discovery? What would they have gained by that (or lost by not doing it)?

1) I heard it was a guy writing the clues this year, but then again, I don't know how reliable that information is. 2)Isn't it awfully convenient that Conway fit the clues
that were written for another park (supposedly) so well? 3)If it was to be in Battle Creek, in order to fit the clues, it would have to have been in the Maplewood
section of the park. If so, why did the first clue say it was in St. Paul?

As for the Como Hunt, it looks like it is a go. We have a permit from the Parks Department and it looks like Second Harvest Food Shelf will be our charity. The
event will be on Saturday, May 1st. Registration will begin at 9AM at the newly constructed gazebo across from the amusement park by the miniature golf course.
Preregistration will be highly encouraged. The details on how will be forthcoming. The cost will be $10 for the first person on a team, and $5 for each additional
person, with all proceeds going to Second Harvest. The Grand Prize will be a minimum of $100 though we will be working on getting a bigger one donated (I'll be
happy to take any suggestions). I'll post more details as they come in. If anyone has any questions, or if you want to help, just send me an email.

You need to have your disgusting butt kicked off this board. I can only hope Sysop will do that soon.

"If I can rid your town of rats,will you give me a thousand guilders?" "One? Fifty thousand!"--was the exclamation of the astonished Mayor and

So am I the only one to actually post in June/July? Cool, life or no life I'm missing the hunt!

I haven't checked in here since a week or so after the hunt. I'm surprised to see that this is still operating. Hope to see everyone next year at the big "Millennium
Medallion Hunt". Take care and polish up those shovels.

Yes, Menard shovels are strong enuff. Some folks use hoes, some use rakes, some use their hands...
I guess I'm the Chief crazy... I just go BONKERS over The Med Hunt!
Just wait! You'll have the most fun with us: noodling clues, staying up all nite to ponder/hunt/dig...

There are factions and there are groups but all of us are each looking for the loot. With shovels in hand and flashlights too we trudge through the night round about
two. The snow and ice though cold and packed won't keep any of us in the sack, for when the medallion is set to be found, you'll find all of us all around.

Frenchy, the majority o'The Cooler Crew met two years ago, here, hunting The Med. That's how The Crew came to Bee. We've grown as we've become an on line
community, but it seems even the new folks to join us since the beginning, we end up dragging out hunting, too! Like Pats! He helped last year from St. Losers! Yup!
And looks like we're doing right by you, too... YOU seem to bee getting the fever! WARNING!!!!!! There is NO CURE!!! Once bitten, you'll never not hunt again!
We go in big groups, we go in wido groups. We go alone, we go in pairs. We meet up for chow or coffee...
And to find others from The Medallion Hunt Cooler we yell, "YOU DIG???" and if we get an answering "YES!!!" we know we've found annudder Coolerphile that
not only hunts out in the raw and cold, but hunts and noodles on line here!
We wear something white, so we can be seen in the dark...
Frenchy, check out www.coolercrew.com - thass our Web site, and not only will you learn about us, but ittiz THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE Medallion Hunt
site in xsistence. Yup! Ittiz HUGE and awesome and very informative and FUN! Ittiz the biggest and best of all Medallion sites. Yup.
Rush, I didn't know you hunt!!! COOLER!!! Your poem was so cute!!!
Glad to see you and Scribe agree w/me. Ittiz NEVER too soon to get xcited! LOL!!!
Don't think I'll bee visiting at Ter's tomorrow nite. She's gonna KILL me now! LOL!!!! She got frustrated and snappish at my THIS year when I got us all het-up
and xcited rite after Christmas! SHE'S GONNA KILL me for all this xcitement in AUGUST! LOL!!!
Oh, well!
Oh! Frenchy! You yust get ALL bundled up! Last year I got some Sorrels and my feet were roasty-toasty. Dress in layers because on the nice days you really break
a bead digging and start taking off the layers. I wore MJ's husband's snow mobile suit and it worked like a charm!!! Hand warmers, foot warmers, stuff like that. No
dress code <g> so whatever you want that keeps you warm and makes you happy!
You know, it'll bee the 2000 Hunt... Are there any kind'a bug wrappers/sprays that come in white????
Any "bug" parks?
Too obvious???????? Or REALLY super devious????

Hey Green! You can't get to me this early. First I have to get excited about Fall, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas and New Years.
Medallion Fever is reserved for January. I would never live to hunt if it started in earnest this early.
FrenchFries - 07:35pm Aug 6, 1999 CST (#21330 of 22142)
Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens.
It's OK, Terry: we are just a little bit squeeze in the other boards.. so we come here to have a free fun!
Besides, I know NOTHING about the Hunt, and I am learning the rules and regulations today>
well, a showel and a light torch.. do you have the light attached to your head, so you can showel with your two hands? Do you accept me even if I do not hunt, but I
would like to come with the camera? Is that OK?
Rush, c'mon! What about a LIVE-MOVIE? What about a DARK live-movie with a BIG murder in disguised? "The Ghoooooost of the Medaillion Hunter"
All right... oh well... you bet..

with us. Just do what you feel like doing during The Hunt. We don't care. Just come and have a good time and ENJOY!!!!
You will meet sssssoooo many folks. Quite a few that post here all year 'round; lots that don't, but only during The Hunt. You'll make TONS o'new fiends!!!! You

There's NO set way to do ANYTHING!!!! You do/get/have with whatever you feel comfortable with!!! This is NO Beauty Contest!!! We're out to find The
Medallion!!!! You could come buck-naked if thass what you wanna do and you think the cops would turn a blind eye... But sumpin' tells me they *MITE* have a

Treasure Digger - 10:23am Aug 17, 1999 CST (#21341 of 22142)
Hey, Gang. Just read over the last couple of week's entries. I have to admit reading the posts got me excited as when the new clue posted at 10:30 each night. I just
love the Hunt!! I've been doing it for 3 years and wished I'd been doing it for 11 years. I'd have said longer but I moved here in 1988. I bring my two kids with me
digging and they enjoy it as much as my husband and I do. They bring their little shovels and dig a little then play with the other children of fellow diggers. I bought
white ear muffs last year and made a badge with "Treasure Digger" on it to wear while I'm digging. I, too, took vacation for the hunt this year. Everyone thought I
was crazy, but I had a blast -- even if I didn't find it. I've yet to meet the Cooler Crew or make it to any of the parties, but would enjoy the chance. The best tool I
saw - doesn't work in all types of snow - but it was a sifter with chicken wire with wooden work horses. The guy was covering a lot of territory. However, once the
snow melts and refreezes, the ice snow doesn't sift very well. Just fuel for thought.

Hey fellow hunters I see that some of the regulars are already excited! Me too! I couldnt do a whole lot of hard digging last year I was pretty pregnant but I did my
best! This year, Rob, myself, a shovel and a babysitter!!!!! I am soo excited! This is a wonderful tradition I cannot wait to share with my new little boy as soon as he
is able to enjoy it! (He is only 5 months!) I will have to come to McGoverns this year. Although I havent met Terry, Green , Treasure Digger, I have enjoyed reading
and noodling with you all in the past 3 yrs.! I moved and no longer have EASY access to a computer but, I will do my best to stay in touch and I hope to finally meet
some of you! Well, I better go before this turns into a NOVEL!!! NOT LONG!!!!

killin opening a specialty equipment and attire shop just for the hunt.It could be open 24 hours the day of the first clue,they could sell batteries,hand warmers,buttons
with the option of registering electronically,yearly commerative collectable collectables,and of course there would be a caribou coffee and an irish pub attached! I'll

You can call me the higher priest.......
A few notes, first of all, my old neighbor is an employee of microsoft and ran the clues, hiding spots, what year it was hidden in each park etc. through a police
computer program and has given me some pretty interesting information. Second of all, I think it is a sigh of relief to realize that i am not the only one that has dreams
of 459 and dreams of being in conway when the snow was fresh... wait that wasnt a dream! anyways, i need the dates of next years hunt to get time off from work,
and in saying that, I really like highland next year. i hope to hear from someone, anyone, soon......

official word go to the St.Paul Winter Carnival website at www.winter-carnival.com.(I'm hoping I got that URL right,if not just do a quick search it'll come right
up)So are you going to elaborate on what interesting stuff came up from your neighbor?

Hey all!! Its me again! Hope all are good. I am working right now (yuk!) I work untill midnight everynight at State Farm Insurance. FRENCHFRIES----I had a
beautiful baby boy 3-18-99 8lbs. 7 1/2 oz. 21 1/2 in. long. Ryan Robert. He is doing wonderful by the way! Anyways, Is the Patrick McGoverns thingy going down
this year? Last year, Rob and I actually showed up and saw you all in the window but we didnt know anyone and it looked like they knew everyone for years so I
got kinda shy and we left!!!! hehehehehe! Shy little me! Well, this year I may need a partner because there is no way we can get a babysitter at 12:00am everynight
so rob will have to stay home and I will have to go out after work!!! Let me know if anyone is interested!!!! I'll check in every so often while working this week!
BYE!!!!!!! I LOVE TO HUNT!!!!!!!!!!(for the medallion ofcours!!!) :)

Congrats Amy and Rob!!!! I'm in the same boat,I usually hunt alone because my husband has to stay at home with our kids,so if you want a buddy I'm in!Anyone
else up for teaming up,I love the thought of the money the medallion teases us with but I love the HUNT more!!!!!

Me again. Scribe, the computer printed out a list of hiding places for the next ten years! According to the program, there is some scientific way (or perhaps its a
coincidence) of hiding the coin. If the computer found no pattern, then it would say such, but as i said, it spit out a list of the next ten hiding places, and it said
highland next year. so until the clues state otherwise, thats where i will be spending my time. Anyways, 1999 was my first year of the hunt, and let me tell you, i did
pretty well. Ironically the guy i hunted with (a coworker) lived on conway ave. We were probably the first to dig in the park and dug up the first base about 15 feet
from the coin. I tell you what, it hurts. I have 2 ambitions in life, and finding the medallion is one of them! And incidentally, i am game for working as a team, because
my coworker was pissed off when he realized he had made fun of aaron neidorf about 2 minutes before he found it because he didnt have a shovel, so he wants
nothing to do with the hunt. so if you are interested, let me know. i look forward to hearing from someone....anyone...

Scribe--- Sounds good! I would love to meet up this year we'll discuss the details later! I will write more another time oh and thanks for the congrats! We are
estatic! Jake you too if you're interested I wish it was at conway this year highland seems so far away to me!!! Conway is so close to home!!!! oh well. I will be in
contact with you all later! bye now! Amy

by the way I doubt that that kind of info would be that easy to come across. Are sure you know what you are talking about (highland park) Jake? :) I guess we will
see! Maybe you will be right! Amy

Hey cool,the more the merrier!We'll have to come up with a central meeting point,or is there already an official one ? I will admit to not always being in the
loop.Jake,it's funny about your experience last year because my friend and I were right on top (not literally) of the two guys who found it in Highland last time it was
hidden there!Like I stated before I don't mind sharing the $$$$$$ if we find it can I have the plastic coin?PLEASE??????? It is my dream to display it on my
mantel.Of course we could always pass it around year to year..........So what do you think the theme will be for 2000? Did the police computer have anything to say
about what its hidden in? Amy,is this your first child? I'm sending my second off to school this year,still have my baby at home though(he's three).

My other ambition? To race indy cars. I wanted to let you guys know that I may have access to a laptop during the hunt. And coincidentally (and rather
unbelievably) i had two finders sitting at the same blackjack table tonite. (93 at hidden falls and 91 at langford). i couldnt believe it, they both had a lot of good info
to tell me, because the clue writer actually talks to the winners. Anyways, i just cant wait until january, my last race is next weekend and college is all ill have!
Anyways, ill be visiting here daily if there is anything you have to say, i love talking about the hunt and cant wait. see ya!

There is way too much excitement about the hunt already! I just can't get into thinking about it this early. Last year a certain someone got me all pumped about it and
I was sleep deprived from excitement about 2 weeks before the first clue.
The addiction to the hunt will just have to wait!

Scribe I have a question for you. In looking back at the postings on the medallion site for 1999, simple logic tells me that the medallion is hidden in the first snow fall
after the new year, what do you think?

Oh, the clue writer in 1993 said that he had a newborn baby and wrapped the medallion in a daiper, drove by hidden falls park and just threw the diaper out the
window. I find that peculiar, did he write the clues after hiding it or what?

Yup I think so too,if they hide in the first snowfall of the season it could be accidentally found way before the hunt,like last December when it was 70 degrees out but
we had snow before that.I think the first snowfall after Christmas or so.

It was also strange talking to the kid that found it in langford park, i think he was about my age and said that he was out with his boy scout troop and found it using a
plastic shovel. He said that someone told him that it hadnt snowed so they were surprised that the hunt lasted as long as it did.

I spent an hour at Highland, and thats all I had time for. I had to go to my dads this afternoon and low and behold, took a wrong turn and ran into langford park. I
am very surprised, it is about the size of the 4 baseball fields at conway. Anyways, I thought it was ironic (and funny) that it is at conway because on of my old
girlfriends lives near there and we used to sneak there at night (i was 16)but anyways, i may go out again tomorrow.

messages and eager people to hunt the medallion. I was at Conway on the third clue. Had help from the neighbor and other hunters in order to get there, but I was
one of the earlier hunters. The snow was so perfect and beautiful. And then there were hundreds of people digging and no snow not turned over. What excitement.
Can't wait until next year's hunt -- the big 2000. Don't forget to check out the Cooler Crew website for past year's clues and hiding places. It's very informative, and
if it's your first year, you'll want as much info. you can gather. I'm at work so I'll have to check back in later. Happy hunting thoughts!!

The question regarding the coolercrew website....
The updates have been sent to the webmaster for that site though they have not been added. I suspect that the webmaster has his hands full with something other
than his volunteering this summer and will get the site updated ASAP.

Well, let me put it to you this way. Yes I have a life outside of finding this thing, but between indy cars and the medallion, most of my thinking is done there. Women
dont appreciate that, but they will have to accept it or hit the road. And if that doesnt explain it, i have had dreams of the hunt the last 2 nights. (last night i had a
dream it was hidden in a cemetary!?!? I dont want anyone anylizing that! LOL) So to make a long story longer, if i had a choice, i would spend 50 weeks a year
racing and the other 2 looking for the medallion. I am honestly hoping that 5 years from now that is the life i am living......wouldnt that be awesome, race in the indy
500 and find the medallion, in the same year. Well, i can dream...

So...
Terry and I aren't the only ones... Or Pats, Or Eags... That dream of hunting The Med... <g> Tho, I've not dreampt this early of hunting it...
Jake... Izz there a park *near* a cemetary (like rite next door...), or a park with one, but not Mounds? Won't be in Mounds.
Gotta check the Coolercrew Web site... Wonder where it was found in 1900... But that would bee too transparent, wouldn't it?
Still, you never know! I'm sure they don't have a MENSA person locked in a room somewhere to think up complex hiding places/rules. Ittiz gotta bee some average
JOE!!! that comes up with this stuff...
And yet again, for 2000, I'm thinking, "I wonder if MomPress is reading this and frantically changing hiding places/clues as I ponder strategies...
"GADS! She got the 2000 thighy!!! Time to reconoiter!!! Otay! 1900, then we'll add 50 for our anniversary this year... Oh! Just to confuse things, lettuce
toss in 3 - for we three that KNOW what's going on... That's 1953! THAT'S where we'll hide it!"
I'm never gonna find the damn thing! But I'm never gonna give up!

For the record, the very first medallion hunt was in 1952. So there isn't any way to find out where it was found in 1900 cause there wasn't one hidden!
I gotta quit checking in here. Better than 4 months to go yet.

Hello, Terry!
As the temperature is falling, and so are the leaves, we ALL MUST THINK ABOUT THE MEDAILLON!!
I see no reason for not being HOOKED to this board, now - as fall is coming, as temperature dropped 20 degrees in one night, and the geese are flying south..
And the pupils are running late to catch the yellow bus.
Ha! Summer is over, fall will be short, and winter is just around the cor... WHAT? What am i saying?

And the name of the "dead person" in the clue (this was my dream of course) Sharon Stone! How does my subconscience come up with these things? Other places
ive dreamt the medallion was hidden in no paticular order, Forest Lake, Elkhart Lake Wisconson, Hastings, Osseo, its kind of funny, now that i think about it, ive
never had a dream that it was hidden in st paul, or ramsey county for that matter!

Marning, Hunters! Annudder start to a week (sigh).
Scribe... MomPress does *NOT* let you keep The Medallion... Nope. You'll have to put a picture o'it on your mantle. You gotts to give it bock, and really fast,
too. As soon as you find it, you have to high-tail it off to The 'Press Building and turn it in. Yup.
Just think! That one Med's been found by gods knows how many folk! Kind'a neat, I think. Like, tradition...
Anyway, *rumor* has it there are "spotters" - folks that watch what's going on so that once The Medallion's found, they fly off and report in that it has been found,
and you better be there shortly after them to turn in that ice-blue disk!
Doubt if it will ever bee proven that there actually *are* spotters, but I'm one that believes in them... I SWEAR that guy last year was one.............
Just another mystery o'The Hunt of Hunts!

park, pick up, turn in, get the dough? Tradition? Just easier?
I, like Scribe, at first was really upset that if (allow me to change that to WHEN!) I find it I couldn't keep it. But, I got to thinking, ittiz kind'a nice you can't - all that
history and little partz o'folks in that bit o'plastic... Kind'a like energy or something, you know? A little bit of Aaron, a titch o'Steve and Maureen... I'm really into

To be honest, I dont care about the money neither. This medallion hunt is obviously here to stay, and i want to be a part of the history. In fact, if i were to find it, i
would probably donate at least some of the money to charity. So Scribe, dont worry your pretty little head off!

Treasure Digger - 09:54am Sep 15, 1999 CST (#21469 of 22142)
Scribe, you can keep the medallion if you want. However, by keeping the medallion, you forfeit the treasure, Mom will have to design another medallion (not a
cheap expense I'm sure), and many hunters will give you grief for being a bad sport. If you are the lucky one to find it, then take as many pictures of it as you would
like. After your picture taking is complete, then go to Mom and receive your prize and glory. My husband and I have been close to the medallion, but never close
enough. We'll be out there again this year in the rain/sleet/snow (whatever Mother Nature throws our way) because we are true hunters. And best of all, it doesn't
matter if you find the medallion, it's the fun in hunting it and meeting such nice people. Since my husband and I aren't true winter sports people, it's our way to coming
out of hibernation and expanding our knowledge of Ramsey County along with many other people who share the same interest. Quickturn, the crooner in the clues
for this past hunt was not referring to Conway Twitty, it was referring to "you" the hunter as being the crooner and breaking tradition of hunting in the past hinding
places. Breaking the tradition and looking for the medallion in a new location makes the "hunter" the crooner by digging at a new park. It takes time to understand
the clues. Believe me, I'm not one to understand everything, but I do know the more hunts you do, the better at it you become.

Treasure Digger - 10:31am Sep 15, 1999 CST (#21471 of 22142)
Scribe, I didn't say you "were" a bad sport but rather you "might" be considered one if you chose to keep the medallion instead of turning it in for the treasure. You
can't read to much into these posting especially taking defense to something I post. I'm not that type of person and feel that most people hunting for the medallion
would agree with me when I say "If you find the medallion, then turn it in as soon as possible so that the rest of us know and can get out of the cold." If course, there
are those who yell out that they've found the medallion. That happens every year and most of us just laugh and continue digging. I have the medallion hot line
programmed into my cell phone and am constantly calling it for updates when hunt is going on. I have to admit, I wanted to keep the medallion when I first started
and was disappointed when I found out that you had to return it for the money. I thought Mom could just give a keeper's copy of the medallion as part of the prize.
Maybe that's something we should suggest. Have a good day, Scribe. I have to return to work, break time has passed many minutes ago. Will check back later.

Treasure Digger,although the medllion is close to my heart,please do not think that I was taking ofense to anything that you said!I'm not that easily upset or offended
(even when people are blunt!LOL)! I'm just saying the PP should let the finder keep what he/she has found,it would not be that big of deal to issue a new design
every year,how could it ever be copied,no one sees it till they dig it up!You are correct in your comments about poor sportsmanship,I would of course turn it in
ASAP,I too have been left in the cold for many years now!I think you're idea of a finder's medallion is a good one,the money is a side issue for serious hunters,a
finder's medallion would be a wonderful artifact(GREEN-SMILE)for a finder to pass down in family history,to recall a wonderful story! As far as the 'I FOUND

Frenchy, check out www.coolercrew.com
You'll find all kinds of history about The PioneerPress Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt...
As well as pics o'some o'us hunters at Re-Hash Bash(es)... And, I *think* even pics o'some Winter Carnival stuff!
Re-Hash Bash = The get-together picnic (yes... PICNIC! Complete with grills, potatoe salad, corn-on-the-cob, Sloppy Joe Medallions, etc.!!!) that's held [usually]
the Sunday following when The Med was found, in the park The Med was found in.
The past two years, those that have found The Med have shown up (BLESS THEM! BLESS THEM!!!) and shown us all the XACT spot The Med was found in...
All Hunters are welcome - ittiz an open invite - and are only asked to bring a dish to share and whatever meat they'd like to grill.
Both years we've all rolled away filled to the gills! This year ('99), Hollywood brought a water filled ballon sling-shot thighy and we had a ton o'fun with that!
We always have a BLAST as we all re-hash our clue ideas, where we were when it was found, how POOR The Clue Writer izz, how close we came to finding it...
Ittiz a great, fun tradition! Hope you can join us in 2000!

Frenchy, you *could* - if you want - compare The PP Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt to You Francophiles across The Pond, going out in the dead of winter -
snow up to your arses... - each with a pig on tether, and hunting a $5,000 truffle!
You're editor should LOVE the comparison! <g>

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
Let me see if I can explain it so that it does make sense.
We love to hunt things for prizes and following clues. After the medallion hunt a couple of years ago, we were talking about other hunts during the year. Someone
mentioned a bock hunt in New Ulm at Schell's brewery. Several people headed there...late February...and that hunt took place out in a state park near there. I
wasn't able to participate in that one.
We then heard that Fitger's in Duluth had a bock hunt in March. We called to get information and the next thing you know, we were headed north to hunt those
bocks.
The Fitger's hunt is in the mall there so it's really quite comfortable to hunt there....no boots, shovels, jackets...and it's about 4 hours long.
Bock is a German word for goat head. It's also a type of beer.
We hunt bocks (goat heads) cause they are huntable! Don't know how else to explain it.
I don't know how the prize thing works at Schell's, but the Fitger's goat heads are good for prizes at the mall. This past March, my husband's find got us $25.00
worth of wine from the wine sellar!
Other prizes were for dinner at a restaurant there for 4, a night in the hotel, other certificates to spend in the shops, and I think there was one cash prize.
It's fun. We like to hunt. That's why we do it.

No, but my brother does. The problem with that is the fees for internet service and the modem (and to tell you the truth i wouldnt even know how to hook it up in a
vehicle) but if we put our heads together im sure we could figure everything out. So in other words, yes we do have a laptop available. What are your plans for the
holidays scribe"?

Are you kidding? I don't pass a park without looking for things and reminiscing about hunting there. I make notes of any new construction, statues, play areas or
anything else that catches my eye.
We were out going past Tony Schmidt Park today in Arden Hills. What a charge to remember that hunt! That was the year we darn near froze to death. I think we
spent at least as much time in the car getting warmed up as we did out chopping through the snow cover.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
To hunt or not to hunt, that is the question. Whether tis sillier in the mind to suffer the cold and snow of a Minnesota winter, or to throw down shovels in the face of
Boreas' treasure and by ignoring, lose it. To seek: to dig; No more; And by a dig to say we find the medallion and the four thousand wonderful dollars it makes us
heir to, 'tis a consumation devoutly to be wished. To seek, to dig; To dig: perchance to find: aye, there's the rub; For in those wee hours what hopes may linger when
we have overturned the last virgin snow must spur us on. There's the respect that makes the hunt of so long life. For who would bear the burns and bites of wind, the
clues read all wrong, the know-it-all hunter, the pangs of fruitless digs, the treasure's delay, the insolence of Joe, and the spurns that the successful hunter of the
unlucky takes, when he himself might his job keep by going to work? who would shovels bear, to grunt and sweat under a frosty sky, but that the hope of something
afterwards, the undiscovered item within whose bosom the medallion resides, intrigues the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we must than fly to a place where
we would know them not. Thus treasure does make hunters of us all, and the native view of Minnesotans is sicklied over the pale hope of warmth and enterprises of
great size and wealth, with this regard close their doors and hunt in the name of the coin.

Oh no, THIS is my year.
You might say "all the planets are aligned" for my particular situation. Specifically, my work schedule is ideal --on it's own, not through any manipulation of mine.
Also, I have a cooperative crew here who have been pretty much dead-on with clue interpretation for the past 3 years.
Also, I calculate that the prime evening for searching will fall on my birthday this year. So, I've got that going for me...which is nice.

Hi, fellow hunters. I haven't been on-line for a month or so, but I just heard the award is $10,000 again this year. Thanks, Mom!!!! Just ordered my Treasure
Hunters Guide - thanks, Steve. Hey, Freight-Train-Jim, are you on line yet? If so, e-mail me. I've been looking all over Apple Valley for the buttons. Mom, I'm really
disappointed in the location of distribution. No SuperAmerica or Snyder Drug Store in Apple Valley has your buttons!!! Will try Rainbow Foods tomorrow. Heard
also that the supply of buttons is being limited this year. Has anyone heard that rumor? Anyway, now that the hunt is only 4 weeks away, my excitement is surpassing
last year's excitement and it hasn't even started. Hope everyone had a great New Year beginning and I'll be wearing my "Treasure Digger" button out there while
digging so make sure you say "Hi" if you see me.

I haven't heard anything about them limiting buttons and can't imagine why. The buttons are a fundraiser for the group that puts on the Winter Carnival so I imagine
they would want to sell as many as they can. And the only reason they offer more money if you have a button is to encourage sales of the buttons. Perhaps the
distribution process has just gotten off to a slow start. I heard that the hunt will start the night of the 22nd, so it may actually only be 3 weeks until it starts.

Grab your ice pick and warm up your hoe,
Clean off your rake and hope for light snow.
The dawn of the mellenium brings with it great cheer,
'Cause the Press is dishing out another TEN G's this year!
If adventure and sluething fit you to a T,
You'll probably bump into the Woman and Me.
We've hunted for years without any luck,
But this year we're gettin' that darn little puck!
Like Aaron last year and others hence past,
The thrill of the hunt will always last.
Good luck to all who take part in this game,
Maybe we'll all get ten minutes of fame.

I imagine the first official day of the hunt would be Sunday the 23rd, but since the clues come out at 11:30PM the night before, the hunt technically starts on the
22nd. As for a warm weather hunt, shame on you! What would King Boreas say?

Or perhaps I read that wrong and you weren't actually asking me to control the weather. In that case, the answer is the hunt was largely designed last year. The
problem came when I suddenly realized I had no clue how to go about getting sponsors, especially corporate ones. On the other hand, Como Zoo, which declined
to do it last year, did say they wanted to do it this year. I suppose I ought to contact them and make sure that's still the case. It would have to be in either the early
spring or late fall before the park gets too crowded with summer traffic.

Allison Wonderland- If you don't know how to find sponsors, I think I can help you with that. I'll put it to you this way, I race go-karts, and have a $23,000 budget,
from a large company, for this racing season. I am very knowledgeable in marketing, and I have contacts in corporate offices. One stipulation, however, I would like
to be involved in writing the clues for whatever you will be hiding. And if you wouldn't want help with that, i'll still do it. I would also be willing to help promote the
event. Just let me know if you would like the help. Scribe, I am still waiting to hear from you. Did you get my message? I am taking care of the hunting resources,
(aerial photos of the parks, I got Steve Worthman's updated book, past clues and articles, a reliable vehicle, cell phone, etc.) I just hope you got a lantern for
christmas, cause I don't have one. Get in touch with me!!! Jakey

Well dang jake, where were you when we needed you last spring? (hehe) Actually, the overall puzzle is
designed, but not all the clues have been designed yet, so there's still room for that. I suppose if we get an
earlier start on it this year we may fare better. But money did end up becoming a sticking point, and then
when it looked like we might need to push it back, there were no dates left available. I think it can work,
even if it didn't last year. I just probably need a bit more help.

Good morning, everyone! I don't think we'll have to worry about having no snow this year. If mother nature continues, we'll have just enough to cover the ground. It
also seems to never fail that during the hunt it almost always snows. Anyway, the individuals who hide the medallion will make sure it's hidden no matter if there's
snow or not. I'm glad they've made the prize $10,000 again this year. Now, if only I can find it as well as a button to register. Have a great day and happy digging

Hey there Treasure Digger. I received your e-mail about the book. No we have not ordered our copy yet. I don't understand why you can't get a button outside of
St. Paul. The gas station where we got ours is in Columbia Heights. Which is not exactly next to St. Paul if you know what I mean.
Treasure Digger - 11:12am Jan 5, 2000 CST (#21732 of 22142)
A friend of mine picked his up in Columbia Heights and the store told him that they had only recieved a limited supply and would not receive any more. He said he
got the last pack of 4 buttons. Last year, he purchased mine for me. My hubby called PP this morning and the lady said he'd have to go into the St. Paul area in
order to pick any buttons up. He said she wasn't the nicest person so he didn't pursue why the buttons are available outside the area. I live in Apple Valley and no
SA or Rainbow Foods carry them nor does the SA in Bloomington by where I work. I'm definitely going to find one. Do you know when the registration deadline
is? I'll check back in a little while to see if anyone knows.

The registration deadline is January 27th, which is about midway through the hunt. I have found out that not all SA's and Rainbows carry the buttons. It is the store
manager's decision as to whether or not they think they will sell enough of them. I have found the buttons at Rainbow Foods on White Bear Avenue in Maplewood
and at the SA on Bellaire and Co. Rd. E in White Bear Lake. That's quite a drive from Apple Valley.

I also agree that whether or not the buttons are available at a particular location is a decision made by the manager of that location, probably based on how sales
have gone in the past. Of course any serious hunter WILL find themselves in St. Paul at some point. Perhaps we can even arrange to have some buttons available at
a pre-hunt bash?

One general point I'd like to make, although it seems the PP has taken some steps already to resolve it. Whenever anyone makes a post, its always their secret
desire to have someone respond to it, to validate their opinion as it were. And this is especially true for the juvenilles and other tactfully handicapped people who
tend to try and make their presence felt. When such people make posts, please just ignore them, utterly and completely. To even make a post chastising them, in
their mind, is a sign of acknowledgement and only encourages them. In this case, silence is the ultimate revenge on them and they will quickly get bored and go away.
Its worked for me in the past and hopefully this year we can maintain a much more enjoyable environment.

What is up with this weather? All of the news stations have a different high temp. for this weekend. I don't want this snow to melt. We actually need a lot more.
That's what makes it fun. That and makes it more fun and discourages the random passer-by from finding it.
Treasure Digger - 12:54pm Jan 6, 2000 CST (#21748 of 22142)
Jett, I agree with your statement. I hope it doesn't warm up to much. What little snow we have it will at least make the hunt more enjoyable to search. If it's just
grass/ground/etc, it doesn't make it more easier for us. I mean, I like using my shovel, hoe, rake to look for the medallion. I hope the weather cooperates a little more
and add a few more inches to the ground for coverage. About the weather reports on the TV, I always say if you don't like one report just turn the channels until you
find one that you like. See, ya.

Treasure Digger, I know what your saying. I always TRY and say to myself I'll believe it when I see it. This happened last year too. It looked as though we would be
out just walking about. But Mother Nature provided us with the white stuff. She's just a little behind this year. No matter what happens though, I will be out there,
somewhere, after the 11:30 clue comes out. I love going out to dig with the other die hards at 2/3 o'clock in the morning. It's fun to watch and see how many people
start showing up at the site as it gets closer to the end. I was at Conway one night, it was dead with the exception of Terry Valentine (if my memory serves me
correctly) and a few others. Before and I knew it I would have said I was at the fair.

Come on Regalman. Everyone knows that once the clues start, sleep is an option. Beleive me. It sure comes to that point for me. I am still in college. I think it is one
of the few times a year that I drink more coffee then some of the grad students I know. In regards to your digging in the snow just for the feel of it. Oh yes!! Went
out and bought a new lantern yesterday because there was a problem with the old one and couldn't wait to fire it up. Just for the feel of the hunt.
Treasure Digger - 09:15am Jan 7, 2000 CST (#21757 of 22142)
The main thing to remember is "Mail in the Registration!!!" Regalman, Green usually stays on the "Shoot the Breeze" board. If I'm thinking of the same person as you
are. I should be receving my Treasure Guide soon. Talked to Steve the other night. He's a nice guy and I'm glad he went the extra mile and gathered this information
together. Thanks, Steve. I haven't been on the Cooler Crew Medallion website lately. I'll have to check it out this morning. I was pretty happy when I finally found
buttons in the southern suburbs (Eagan) that I almost went out digging in my backyard just for the heck of it. During the hunt, I find myself very tired at work and
trying to concentrate on anything but where is the medallion. It should be a rule in this area that anyone participating in the hunt should not be made to work and, of
course, still get paid for the time off. I don't do much hunting during the night because of kids. Most of my hunting is here on-line with the other parents stuck at
home. However, I'd love to be at the park when the 11:30 clue comes out. I've heard it's a blast as who's phone will ring first. It just can't come soon enough.

Shovels! I forgot the shovels. Just kidding. Got those set up as well, Mr. Med Hunter. I totally agree. We need more snow. A nice 6-8 inches of it. Just enough to
have fun but not too much to make it hard to walk. Anybody remember what post board we switched to last year after everyone started showing up just to gather
info? You know, the same people that never offered a valid analysis of where they thought the medallion may be and why.

According to Socrates Babacas (the real estate developer who says that he is going to own the Minnesota Twins and build a new stadium) "That's none of your
business." When the medallion is hidden is probably one of the best kept secrets in Minnesota. Back when the treasure hunt first started it was hidden on either the
friday or saturday before the actual hunt started.

Its hard to say when it is actually hidden. Who knows. Sure it would be great to know exactly where it was for the ten grand but then again you would not get the
pleasure of digging all night long. I think when they actually hide it depends on what they think will happen with the weather as far as snow goes. Don't you think? I
am sure that they have an alternate set of clues and hidding spot in the park which was picked depending on the lack of snow or the two feet of the white stuff.

I have seen years with virtually no snow and the hunt has gone into the last couple of days. Have no fear. The folk(s) that hide the medallion know what they're doing
to make the hunt fun - snow or no snow.

First off, the people running the hunt are so thoroughly evil (that may sound harsh now, but wait until about Feb. 3rd) that they don't need snow to make the
medallion diabolically difficult to find. Secondly, one thing that always irked me a bit about the hunt is that figuring out the clues doesn't help much. Its quite possible
to ignore them completely, watch on the news to see where people are digging, go there, just pick a spot and random, and still end up finding it. I first got to the spot
where the medallion was (within a few feet) on January 31st (I believe) and yet it wasn't found until the 5th of February (again, I think), after the park had become
obvious and it just became a matter of randomly picking out the right spot to dig. So I can't say I'm completely in favor of snow.

A diabolical mind will help figure out the clues, which can be a reward in its own sense. But what I meant was that figuring out the clues won't necessarily help you
find the medallion. There's also quite a bit of luck involved as many past "was only out there hunting 15 minutes" winners can attest to. Of course if I was really that
smart I'd just design myself a medallion detector.

Here's a question. What, in your opinion, is the best tool to use for hunting and why? A shovel?
An ice chipper? A rake? Something else?
GoldenBoy - 05:53am Jan 9, 2000 CST (#21774 of 22142)
Hi Allison - just checking in to see how revved up people are about the hunt. By the way - the best tool to use is probably a combination of all those things. Hey -
actually that's not a bad idea. We could make a special medallion hunters tool and market it to the masses. Call it a Shrake, or something... Like when schools
started using the combo forks and spoons, calling them 'sporks'. Have to incorporate a flashlight and a GPS system too.

Hey Allison, I would have to say it is the coal shovel. Although that really depends on the year. It has a wider base then the hoe but can serve the same purpose.
That and you can dig easier with it along with chop some thin ice. If we are talking digging at night it has to be the lantern. If you can't see where your digging your
toast. That and you don't have to hold it like a flashlight. I believe I saw you on here last year. So what is your personal best tool to use?
Allison Wonderland - 09:48am Jan 9, 2000 CST (#21776 of 22142)
Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
I used a shovel like the one you described. I also used a cane to poke through the snow, like they do with those long sticks when hunting for avalanche victims. I'm
not sure how effective that was however. Of course there are other options like a flamethrower or a snowblower, but then these have their own inherent drawbacks
as well. And yes, I was here last year. In fact, if you do a search on "Conway", I was the first one to mention its name aside from just giving a list of all parks.
Hopefully I'll be able to get the same jump on it this year.

Naw! A pitchfork! That way you can break out large chuncks of snow and ice and "feel" all the way down. Then you have a easier time of sifting and shoveling.

I am with Scribe, if you can decipher the clues accurately year after year, you will find it eventually. Ask the 3 bridge players that found it in 95 at Battle Creek. I
know, even they were lucky, but I am 20 years old and last year was my first hunt, (My buddy and I were one of the first ones at conway, we dug up all of the bases
on the baseball fields) and I feel that if I am as persistant as I was last year, my day in the sun will come.

No, I think it was in the afternoon. I recall most of the bases had been dug by then. But that was my 2nd trip out there to dig. My first was the night before. I started
across from the front door of the 934 house and made a line from the sidewalk to the hockey rinks, thin though it was. I believe the bases had not been dug at that
time so I guess you were there in between.

It was early in the hunt, for gods sakes, we hadn't even read the clues! He lives about half a block up Conway and we were bored so we went and started digging.

Allison Wonderland- This was probably after the second or third clue....we quit digging there for a few days after we read the clues, and then started up there again.
We had a pretty good idea saturday morning that this was the park, although we didn't dig in the right area. I think if I can be patient and not read too much into the
clues, my time will come.

2nd or 3rd clue? That was before I got there then, though I can't say I remember the bases being dug up. I do remember them being dug up in a major way when I
got there the second time.

Okay, it's 35 degrees on jan 10th. Mother Nature better get cold and moist or this hunt is going to suck. I agree with all that the PP will still make it a challenge, but
it won't be as fun. I think that the best tool for treasure hunting still needs to be invented. It would definetely be a hand-held X-ray machine to look through the snow
down to the ground.-- As for now, a steel rake and pitchfork are my favorites. 12 more days till the first clue!!!
Treasure Huntin' Fool - 05:51am Jan 10, 2000 CST (#21789 of 22142)
DIGGING TOOL: I prefer the "beet hoe". The blade is wider than a normal garden hoe, but only about half as tall. It can be used to chop ice, but it really shines
when used in a "sifting" motion that I could show you easily, but can't seem to find a decent way to describe.
CLUES NOT HELPING: I used to think that the clues narrowed the site down to the exact spot the further you go in the hunt. I have been disabused of that quaint
notion. The hard way.
The clues bring you to the park and the accomplished puzzle solver has the reward of digging in fresh snow. After that it's all grunt work or blind luck.
About a week into the hunt there are usually a handful of contending parks, with people digging at each of them. Then there will be one clue that really zeroes people
in.
After that, we seem to get 3 or 4 clues that don't help define the spot at all, but just bring more and more people to the site.
Allison is right, the puzzle masters are evil.

Did anyone see the rules for this year's medallion hunt in the paper over the weekend? The prize is $2500 for finding the medallion, another $2500 for turning in
newspaper clippings of the new clues and a $5000 bonus for registering your button. What's up with the newspaper clipping rule? If they want to sell more papers,
why don't they just release the clue at the newspaper 15 minutes before it is published on the internet.
Treasure Digger - 09:13am Jan 10, 2000 CST (#21791 of 22142)
Good morning, hunters. I just read over the posts for the last few days. As far as tools, my belief is you have to wait and find out what type of snow you have. A
rake is good for light fluffy snow that has no ice in it. If there's ice involved, a shovel, pitch fork, hoe combination tool is the best. My hubby and I always bring every
tool with us just in case we need them all. A tool we also bring which isn't categorized as a tool is a lawn chair. During the hunt, our backs seem to hurt after awhile.
So in order to prevent further injury, we bring a chair to relax in for a few minutes. It really does help. Another thing to remember is if there is no snow, the medallion
will not be hidden in a tree. I heard this from many sources. I called PP last year and was told only 2 people know where the med is hidden. The PP further stated
that the med is not necessary hidden before the hunt begins. Go figure. The last week's clues will pretty much tell you the park, but there are still those hunters who
will remain at another park until when the medallion is found. I was at Conway early Sunday morning when hardly any snow was moved. There was a post around 5
AM on Sunday morning mentioning Conway and then the person deleted their post. I talked to the guy who lived up the road from Conway and he said he recalled
a PP van sitting by the park around 1:30 AM on night. Never made the connection until later in the hunt. Oh well. Part of the hunt is trying to figure it out and
discussing it with other friendly hunters. The clues come out on PP web site at 11:30 PM each night of the hunt. If you go to the front page and find the article on the
Winter Carnival, there is usually a web site listed for the clues. Then just add it to your favorites. I have the site on my computer at home and not here at work. My
hubby was at Cherokee on the 4th clue. He was the only one digging until about the 6th. Having the hunt in the middle of winter helps us get through the long winters.
However, this year doesn't really seem like winter. I'm sure Mother Nature will shine upon us for the hunt and dump 8" on us. Have a good day.

Where in the paper did you see that about newspaper clippings? If that's true, it seems odd they didn't mention it at all on the Winter Carnival Button although that
may have been written so as to make it sound humorously easy.

By the way, it sounds as though there will be a pre-hunt bash on Saturday the 22nd (the night the first clue comes out at 11:30PM). Right now, the plan is to have it
at Patrick McGovern's in St. Paul (on West 7th I believe). Let me know if you want more details and I'll try to find out.

Allison, please find out more information. Maybe this year we can make it to at least one of the parties. We weren't able to make any of the last 2 years. I don't float
to the Shoot the Breeze board. I don't know if they're discussing it there or not. Can't wait for more of the regulars to join us in the discussion or anticipation of the
hunt. I e-mailed PP and asked them about the newspaper clippings. Haven't heard back from them yet. I receive the Sunday paper at home. I'll check it out tonight
and will post what I find. It's definitely a way of selling more papers. Afterall, with today's technology, most of us go here (or PP website) to find the clues.

As far as hiding the medallion goes, I spoke with one of the guys that found it in the diaper at Hidden Falls, he said that the guy that hid the medallion drove into the
parking lot and threw the diaper out the window about a week before the hunt started. I remember that January we got a ton of snow.

I looked through my Sunday paper and didn't see anything about it all, though it was not an extensive search. It seems to me they wouldn't mention it until they do the
Winter Carnival Preview Guide which would most likely appear on the 23rd. Personally, I subscribe to the paper anyway so I'm not worried, but it seems a little
silly. Not having a button has never prevented people from searching before, so I suspect not having clippings wouldn't stop people either, and inversely, I don't
know how much that would really boost sales. Only people who honestly expected to find it would change their habits and what if someone forgot and threw out
their paper or gave it to someone? We'll see I guess.

Treasure Digger: Whenever the Medallion is actually hidden, wouldn't it seem odd that it would be brought to its final destination via anything that could easily be
identified as a PP vehicle? I would think that anything associating itself with PP hanging around a park during winter carnival would be followed around like the pied
piper. As devious as PP is about clues and things, is it possible that any number of simliar vehicles are sent out as red herrings?
PS...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Mr. Med Hunter, Do you know if it has to be the clipping from the front page or can it be the list from the metro section with numerous clues? I think this is pretty
dumb for the PP to do this, but if that's what they want, that's what they get.

It sounds to me, when they say "new daily clues" that you need the ones from the front page and not just the list from the Local (formerly Metro) section. Because
they say clippings, I assume they don't need the whole page, but that they do mean originals. Its just an assumption though as its not very clear about it. How
annoying. Are we supposed to carry them around with us as we hunt? It says you have to bring the medallion in immediately and some people may not be able to go
home to get them. Oh well. Guess I'd better make sure I have my subscription paid up.

Treasure Digger - 08:37pm Jan 10, 2000 CST (#21806 of 22142)
Electric Duane, I'm not much on trying to figure out the reasons as to how the medallion is hidden. I just wanted to pass on the information that was told to me. If I
was one of the two hiding the medallion and it was part of my work, I'd use the company van. Afterall, the obvious is not always what it seems and sometimes it is.
It's like the previous post when someone suggested staking out every park hoping to see the med being dropped. Every person would be followed and the parks are
too many and too large. However, if I saw a PP van parked by a park where there is no paper machine or a business close by, then I'd wonder. Although last year
at Conway, there are several businesses in the close area. Anyway, I receive the PP almost everyday. I'll have to pick up the other days that I don't receive it. Also,
the PP will not know when the med is found unless the person shows (not says) they've found it. Besides that, take it home, take pictures of it, grab your button, pick
up your clippings, and then drive to the PP. It's as simple as that. But, you first have to find the thing.

Hi Lacy!
It's worth trying. To see all the other nuts out there digging snow in all sorts of weather and times of day is just too cool to miss.
The time I enjoy the most is the locust time of the hunt. When you are out in a park about midnight and all you hear is the chink chink chink of shovels and other
digging implements chopping at the snow. The lanterns and flashlights give the whole site an out of this world kinda glow.

Lacy, It is hard to describe. I used to do it with my parents when I was younger. Now I am in college. My studies get neglected for most of the time the medallion
hunt is going on. There is nothing like going out with a friend, meeting some of these other people that post. (Putting a face with the words.) Hearing the laughter and
gossip of where everyone thinks it is, feeling the snow down your back of your neck. Going home to get a good night rest hoping that it will still be out there when
you wake up so you can go again. I say grab a shovel and I'll see you out there. I am one of those late nighters like Terry was talking about. Only then shall you
know the appeal. Oh and the 10,000 doesn't hurt, especially when your still in school.

Leaning on your digging tool and taking a break, while talking clues with other treasure hunters, is the thing that keeps us coming back every year.
It's much more fun to share your ideas with other hunters and participate in the community feeling of it all, than to just keep to yourself and become a "grim digger".
The comradarie, the atmosphere, the festival nature of it all is unmatched --especially late at night.
It's not about the prize money. All but one of us are doing it for free each year anyway.

Anyone is welcome to stop by. Rumor has it the food is good albeit slow, but we have all night. There may be some activities, but mostly I imagine it will be a lot of
speculation and trading of hunting stories. Oh, and feel free to bring me birthday presents (though my birthday is actually the day before) hehe. Is there anything else
anyone wants to know?

Did anyone go out to Conway over the summer. I am wondering how shredded up the grounds were? If it was bad I think they would have to go for a bigger park
this time, with another 10,000 on the line. I agree, Phalen has been a while. But let us not forget, sometimes that doesn't matter. Hope to see you guys at the
Pre-hunt Bash. Patrick McGovern's eh? That's downtown St. Paul correct. Or at least close.

How long have you hunted? I was at Conway several times this year, it actually wasn't as bad as I thought, my buddy, who lives up the road, said that 2 days after
the hunt they were putting seed all around the park.

McGovern's is a bar AND restaurant so anyone can go in. You just need ID to order alcohol. As for Phalen, it was mentioned last year that it is unlikely it will ever
be there for two reasons: One, its not open 24 hours like most other parks. That is to say, they really do cut off access to it, at least the main roads in. Two, with half
of it being in Maplewood there may be problems with the city of Maplewood who apparently has said they never want to see the Medallion in their city ever again.
My guess for this year is something bigger than Conway, but still not quite a major park. Perhaps even the Capitol Mall. Give Jesse something to see as he looks out
his window.
lillian - 04:06pm Jan 11, 2000 CST (#21838 of 22142)
Hey there fellow hunters. All I have to say is be careful out there... last year I ended up in the hospital with a broken elbow... a little too excited at the top of a flight
of icy steps at a St. Paul park ... not even the right one. Missed out on the rest of the digging... my hunting buddy had to go it alone. Recommendation: do not hunt
after even the slightest bit of alcohol consumption... even if you and your buddy have got it all figured out. Damn I love the hunt!!

Yea, Jake I am also 20. I have been hunting hard these last three years while at school. However I have been up digging around (nothing too serious) with my
parents since I was about ten or so. I got the bug when I was young now I can't stop. Heard we were supposed to get snow tonight. Yahoo!! Now if it stays until

Hail Boreas!
Mr. Allison, you bring up some good points about Phalen. Here are some counter points to consider. It's been a long time since Maplewood got all bent out of
shape about getting their park all torn up. For the most part, there is a whole new administration in Maplewood. I agree that the medallion won't be hidden IN
Maplewood, but for the reasons above, I think they would still consider the St. Paul portion of Phalen and take their chances with any spill over into Maplewood.
Especially if the first clue or two limits the search to St. Paul. As for the limited hours of the park, you can still walk into the grounds and around the lake in the
middle of the night and there is a fair amount of street parking close by. I'm not sure I've ever correctly predicted the right park prior to the hunt - so bottom line is
you are probably right!
KB Rules - 04:50pm Jan 11, 2000 CST (#21841 of 22142)
Hail Boreas!
As for the new hunting rule change/addition about having the clipping of the new clue with you for an extra $2500 - is this designed to give the poor souls standing in
line outside the newspaper at midnight a little more incentive to do just that (which I've done a number of times), rather than resort to staying comfy and warm waiting
for the clue via internet (which I've also done a number of times)?

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
There seems to be a continuing conversation about Phalen Park. Phalen Park is in St. Paul. Part of the lake is actually in Maplewood, but the park itself..and
anywhere the treasure would be hidden is in St. Paul.
Maplewood's upset came from the use of Wakefield Park which is entirely in the city of Maplewood. The park was trashed and caused a great expense to
Maplewood to replace and repair things there.
To think that the medallion could not be hidden in Phalen, is to close one's mind to all sorts of possibilities for available public land in St. Paul.
So...the first clue will either tell us it's within St. Paul boundaries or within Ramsey County on public land. If it's within Ramsey County, I would eliminate Wakefield
or any other park in Maplewood because of the history. If it's within city limits, Phalen will remain in the running in my mind until it is eliminated by further clues.

You gotta love the snow! Although it's supposed to warm up again this weekend. Somebody's got to tell Vulcanus Rex to cool it! He'll get his chance at the end of
the carnival. For now, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
In the event there is no snow cover (*#@!*# Vulcanus Rex), what are the more likely places the little gem will be hid? In the thick bushes, tall grass and trees? At
the bottom of a parking lot pile of plowed snow? Above ground? Surely not right out in the open. . .

I imagine there's a good chance they will be hiding the medallion tonight. I was thinking though, if they really do just kind of drive by and toss the medallion out,
wouldn't it make sense to look closer to the streets? But then again in Cherokee I don't think it was really all that close to a street.

I don't think that this year, if any, they will be just throwing it out. The way the weather has been on a rollercoaster lately they need to hide it as if there was not going
to be any snow. The other day the news said that we have had a foot of snow already this year(not counting today) but there is only an inch left on the ground. This
weekend is supposed to be warm again. Therefore, if they would be hiding it tonight, I think that I will still dig in a state of mind that it is hidden where the snow
cover would not matter.
jake inge - 07:11pm Jan 12, 2000 CST (#21861 of 22142)

Allison Wonderland- I agree, I think there is a good possibility it is already hidden though. It is supposed to stop snowing soon, so i would imagine it was hidden
earlier today, possibly this morning. Jett- I also agree with you, I can imagine that if the weather is supposed to get warm, it is hidden somewhere where it will be
hidden even without snow. As anyone should, however, I am going into this with a completely open mind.
Jett - 07:16pm Jan 12, 2000 CST (#21862 of 22142)

What makes you guys think that it is already hidden? I am just wondering, I don't mean anything negative. There is still a week and a half for it to be placed.

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
Part of the reason I believe it's hidden ahead of time is that it usually is found at ground level. Meaning right on top of the ground but below the snow.
Last year at Conway, where the medallion was hidden looked virtually undisturbed until the area was dug up some. Other years of deep snow would include the
year it was at Newell attached to a broken 45 record. That was at ground level under what seemed like tons of snow. The one year it was at Wakefield in the
spokes of a bicycle tire, that again was laying flat at ground/ice level under huge amounts of snow...undisturbed.
I know there are other years that some of you will remember that it was found only after some very lucky digging in the snow.
I particularly remember those years because we had dug so near where it was found very early in the hunt and could not find anywhere near those digging spots that
the snow looked undisturbed.

You know, I don't know if activities matter. I think that they give someone the medallion and tell them to hide it, I don't think there is a list of parks that they can't
hide it at, they just use their own judgement. In 1978 (yes, I have been studying history) it was found at Harriet Island, and there was a bocce ball tournament going
on about 10 feet from where it was hidden, so you just never know.

Hello fellow hunters. This is my third year of hunting, and I am 14 years old. I just love to analyze the clues and then actually going out and hunting! I remember
driving by Cherokee in 98' before anyone was there and telling my mom to pull over because I thought the medallion was at this park. Even though are purpose of
driving around was to scout out potential sites, she did not stop. My dad and I returned after it was obvious and wondered about the actuall end of the park(the
boundaries) because we thought it ended in West St. Paul. Oh well it will be fun this year because of all the snow we just got! I hope it stays!

Creak Don't ask why I just think so. Also, I think this years writer will use the first letters in each clue to spell out the park as they did in 95.(I think it was 95)

Battle Creek sounds good but I think I shall be starting at Highland. Why do you think they will use the first letters? It has been done already and people would be
watching for it. I do agree though that it will probably be something similar. They will just put a twist to it.

It's been over twenty years since I did a hunt(been in the Air Force), so this year I must make up for lost time. Anyways, after reading these posts and talking to my
sisters a bunch of hunt memories came a reeling back. 1967, searching with Dad one night on the Kellogg Mall. It was later found at the Fairgrounds. 1970, Dad
driving down McKnight in the Battle Creek, area and seeing what seemed like thousands of flashlights glowing in the dark, the massive traffic jam on Upper Afton
Road, and getting those hot chocolates at Grandma's afterwards. 1971, with Dad at Wakefield Park, first nights were Ok hunting, but by Friday that park was
packed. I remember some hunters dismantling some buildings and a climbing light poles. Cops directing traffic on Larpenteur, Prosperity, and Frost Avenues. 1973,
Phalen Park, not so much the hunt in itself, but the fact Dad was amazed after (then)twenty years, it was finally hidden there. 1976, Keller Park, those old World
War II huts we saw mentioned in the clues. Finally 1978, Harriet Island, it was so cold. I also remember reading an article in the Dispatch around March or April
1972/73. The original hiders were retiring and, without mentioning their names, gave some interesting stories about hiding the medallion in those early years. I'll have
to find that article the next time I am at the history center or the downtown library. As for medallion vs. Maplewood, I can see Maplewood wary, but I wonder if
some of those parks are operated by the county, and not that city. Just a thought. Later folks.

warmer but not real warm. Believe me, I'm pretty sure the hunters is watching and will be looking at the expected weather forecasts for the next few weeks. My
guess is that the last two years the medallion has been hidden in the south section and west section of Ramsey County. The west and north are due for their share in
the hunting. Haven't really looked at my maps to give names of possible locations, but I have a feeling for those areas. Planning to buy daily papers and clipping each
of them. Again, if anyone finds it. You must take pictures of yourself with it and make sure you have all that is required of PP. It's a great opportunity to find it, and
everyone has the same chance as the next person to find it. Check in with you later!
Treasure Digger - 09:57am Jan 13, 2000 CST (#21889 of 22142)
Kevin, I loved your personal view of the hunts. You can't really know how it feels to hunt unless you've been there. And, I believe, you have to wait until it's over
and then reflect back at what happened and what you experienced. We videotaped the last couple of hunts and it's amazing at what you see and don't see. Even
listening to the sounds of the other hunters. So much is going on and it's easy not to realize it. My husband and I showed our tapes to relatives and they just couldn't
believe their eyes. If the hunt was for gift certificates somewhere, it would have to be a good place and for a significant amount of money. No sliders for me. I'd do it
for less, heck, I've done it for less. However, don't take me wrong. I enjoy it more with the $10,000 out there to grab. As far as the medallion being hidden, I have
to agree with the medallion being as close to the ground as possible being the correct theory. The hiders want it to be less noticable as possible and covered. The
medallion is usually dig over many, many times before it's actually found. It's almost a prerequisite to finding it.

Hey Shovelmaster how you doing, haven't talked to you in a while. I've still got your X-mas gift at home, if you are gonna be at the prehunt event I will try to get it to
you there. Davannis never got back to me despite three different messages, I can only assume that means they aren't interested. We should probably get together
here soon to discuss Medallion and our plans for that. I will try to call you this evening. BTW - How was Frisco? - I hope you have pics!

there was quite the discussion about Phalen a day or two ago Mike. Check back a few messages and I'm sure you'll find some folks agreeing and disagreeing with
you. Phalen certainly is big enough to house a lot of hunters. I think part of me doesn't want it to be there for that very reason! Too many possible places to search
early on.

There is one actually, kind of intwo stages. One is to wear something white, presumably something you would not normally be wearing outside on a winter's day. The
most famous example was when someone wore a diaper on their arm. If you wish to be a little clearer, a white pithy (the type of "helmet" you often see a man
wearing while on safari) has become something of a tradition.

Come on guys don't you think it would be funny for the new wmillenium for the PP to throw us "smarts" a swerve and actually leave the medallion by the frog pond.
We'll all be in here laughing every time some rook comes in here wondering where it is before we direct them to the frog pond, only to have the PP laughing at us
because it is actually there.

It would be the perfect ruse for the PP to "get" all of us, they put the medallion where we all joke about it being despite deep down inside feeling that the place is just
too obvious.

Yes, but every year there is always some fool digging out there just for the sake of digging there, and if there ever is any indication that the medallion is in Como, the
frog pond becomes the first, not last place many people go. Now if the first letter of every clue spelled out F-R-O-G-P-O-N-D-N-O-N-O that would be funny.
But it was just at Como recently. I say it will go back to the Highland area. Not the park itself, but maybe a small nearby one. And yes, that's my final answer.

Tim, I highly recommend the treasure hunter's guide. It has great maps of parks within the city of St. Paul that indicate where things are in the park like picnic
benches, tennis courts, softball fields, ice rinks and even trees and bushes as well as the surrounding streets. It tells you if there are statues or plaques dedicated to
people and the dates on them. There is also a text description with each map that indicates what businesses/landmarks are nearby, whether homes or apts surround
the park and what can be seen from the park. All in all, a very helpful tool as a hunter pulls out information from the clues. And the maps also indicate where pictures
were taken which can be viewed on the website www.treasurehunt.8m.com. Check it out. The photos are great!

High of around 34 this weekend. That means say goodbye to alittle bit of this white stuff. But I'm sure we will keep some as a base before snow on Monday. So get
out those shovels, brush off the dirt and tune them up. The hunt is almost upon us.

Yes it was $14. It is kind of ironic because we had to hunt to find the store. Once we were there, we had to hunt to find the book. Now that we have the book we'll
use it to hunt for the medallion. See a patern? As to your question, I sure couldn't find one. So that is why I got this book. I do strongly sugest it if you can get one.
Good luck with your hunt!

Thanks for all of the nice comments about the Treasure Hunter's Guide. I hope this edition gets one of us to the treasure. My website is new this year. I think you'll
like the way that the images are linked to spots on the maps. If it gets too bogged down during the hunt, I have an alternate site as backup.
If I don't see you sooner, I'll see you at the park.

Yep, the hungry mind sells it. It's an incredible resource. I just met the author and creator of this book tonight. He seems like a cool guy. If he has the chance, he's
going to be at the McGovern's Prehunt bash with a few copies. It's worth your time and money to pick one up, if you're really into the hunt, there isn't another
resource that will show you every park in St. Paul with all of the details.

After looking over the new edition of the book, I must agree. It's very well put together and more accurate than the first. Good job, Steve!
One week from today the first clue will let us know if it's in St. Paul city limits or within the limits of Ramsey County. It's gonna be a long 7 days!

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost
It looks for the moment like I'll be the one organizing the pre-hunt bash so I need to get at least an approximate head count so we know what to tell Patrick
McGovern's. Right now my guess is around 20, though I don't know if everyone will be there the entire time. Still, if you are planning to come let me know, either on
here or at AllisonWondrland@yahoo.com and that way, if there will be significantly more, hopefully I will know. The plan is to make the reservations for 7:00, even
if some people come later. The intention is to go until midnight or until we get booted. Since we'll be taking up a fair amount of space for quiten a while, it would be
nice if everyone planned on eating there so the restaurant can make some money. They offer both food and alcohol. There will likely be many a treasure hunting story
(earmuffs Terry?), perhaps some treasure hunting trivia, and of course at 11:30, the first clue. So let me know if you're coming and if you have any questions.

Hey Birdie, you don't have to drink. I am not 21 either. So skip your classes and come on up. I do know what college is like though, so maybe you should study if
need be. What a bummer that is.

Birdie, I admire your ability to stay off the sauce. You must not be a native Iron Ranger then, or you might be tarred and feathered. Say hello to Iron World for me. I
too would like to join everyone at Pattie McG's, but I'm not sure if I will be able. If I don't show up at McG's, y'all will recognize me during the hunt...I'll be the one
wandering around the frog pond like Rain Man saying, "'Course, I'm an excellent digger." frustrated by trying to figure out the meaning of words such as "iconoclast."
Let it snow... PS Dennis Green must go.

Well Duane, I am not a Ranger but if I was I would probably be drunk now! That is all everyone, young or old, does up here. I cannot wait til around the 5-6 clue,
that is when I will be down there with the rest of you. A question, what should I wear to represent I am apart of the watercooler? I know that white things on the
sleeve are common. Any suggestions? Thanks
The Dream Team - 08:12pm Jan 18, 2000 CST (#21966 of 22142)
We have come close in the past, but this is OUR year!!!
It's that time again!!! Just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and to let you know that The Dream Team is due!!! We've added some key players in the offseason, and
this is going to be our year!
No more pictures of the team sitting on the bench at Conway right next to where the Damn thing was found when there is still digging to do!!!
This year the picture will include the medallion!! I know this may seem a little brash, but we are going to gurantee a Dream Team victory this year.
Sorry everyone, but at least you will get some exercise and fresh air!
tim_the_hunter - 09:14pm Jan 18, 2000 CST (#21967 of 22142)
I usually find the medallion, and then put it back!
I can't make it to the Pre-Hunt bash, I have a family get together. I have a feeling that one of the Cooler Crew members will find the medallion this year. I hope it is
me! I hopefully will meet some of you digging, until then good luck!

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!
Several folks have asked what to wear hunting that would let others know you're part of the Cooler Crew.
Basically, anything white that wouldn't ordinarily be thought of as outerwear. A couple of years someone wore a baby's cloth diaper tied around their sleeve or thigh.
Others wear white pith helmets (we are hunters) or white t-shirts over the jacket would be good. Whatever you think would work for you...it's fun to see others out
in the park that we meet here.
For those of you who can make it Saturday night - I'm looking forward to meeting you or renewing old friendships.
For those of you who can't make it this time - and everyone else for that matter, remember that we also have a rehash bash the Sunday following the finding of the
medallion. It's held about noon in the park the medallion is found in. Mark it on your calendar now and save that afternoon if you can. It's potluck and we usually
have a grill available.

Not likely. I think its probably better to pace yourself a bit so you're not dead tired at the end when you really need to have energy. So there seems to be no point in
digging unless you have an idea of where to dig.

Hail Boreas!
A long, long time ago, Astraios, the god of Starlight, and Eos, the goddess of the Rosy Fingered moon, were wed. The union was blessed with five sons: Boreas,
Titan, Euros, Zephyrus and Notos. As the eldest, Boreas, was granted the title of King of the winds and he assigned to each brother a permanent grant of great force
and power. To Titan was assigned the blustery North Wind. To Euros was granted control of the irresponsible East Wind. To Zephyrus was given custody of the
bountiful West Wind. To Notos was presented the balmy but unstable South Wind. The brothers cavorted gaily over land and sea.

KB Rules - 02:09pm Jan 19, 2000 CST (#21983 of 22142)
Hail Boreas!
Meanwhile, Boreas, while on his extensive travels, came upon a winter paradise known as Minnesota. He paused to behold the enchanting beauty of a magnificent
group of seven gently sloping hills in whose embrace nestled a beautiful city. Boreas whistled in sheer ecstasy, "Historic Saint Paul and her seven hills! An ideal place.
I will make Saint Paul the capitol of all my domains. It will henceforth be emblazoned to the world as the winter playground of the Realm of Boreas."
KB Rules - 02:10pm Jan 19, 2000 CST (#21984 of 22142)
Hail Boreas!
Meanwhile, Vulcanus Rex, the god of Fire, and the implacable enemy of Boreas, crackled in defiant disdain. "By the great sword of Mars I will temper the
blusterings of Boreas with the heat and roar of my forces." He was tireless in his bitter resistance to all the festivities of Boreas by forcing the warmth of springtime
sun to shine on the Saintly City.
KB Rules - 02:10pm Jan 19, 2000 CST (#21985 of 22142)
Hail Boreas!
Undaunted, Boreas proclaimed a celebration in the spirit of gay Carnival and invited the Queen of Snows, the fairest maiden of the realm, to advise him in the plans
for a fabulous festival. "So be it!" shouted Boreas, "There will be a Carnival in olde Saint Paul!" Boreas selected a Prime Minister to coordinate preparations in all the
Principalities, Provinces and Royal Houses within the realm of Saint Paul.
KB Rules - 02:10pm Jan 19, 2000 CST (#21986 of 22142)
Hail Boreas!
And so, for ten glorious days, there was Carnival and joyous celebration in St. Paul -- feasting, dancing, fun and frolic reigned over by Boreas and the Queen of
Snows, along with the four Winds, who were each accompanied by a lovely Princess from the realm of Boreas. Klondike Kate, a lady of song and merriment,
added her sassy but enchanting voice to the festivities by singing songs of desire and sentiment.
KB Rules - 02:11pm Jan 19, 2000 CST (#21987 of 22142)
Hail Boreas!
On the 10th day of celebration, as the people grew weary of winter's fun, Vulcanus Rex and his Krewe stormed the magnificent Ice Castle and confronted the King's
Guard, who made ready for battle. Upon the good counsel of the Queen, Boreas bade farewell to the people of his winter capitol in the interest of peace and
goodwill and returned to dwell among the gods of Olympus. Vulcanus Rex and his Krewe quickly restored the warmth of springtime to the seven hills of olde Saint
Paul and the people turned to the glow of sunshine with glee. Boreas and his court looked forward to the time when summer's warmth would once again relinquish its
hold on the realm and the frosty atmosphere of winter would prevail. It is then when winter's frosty frolic of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival begins anew!

This snow is easy to move around. If it stays cold, the hunt-shoveling should be pretty easy.
FYI: Word on the street is that the treasure is hidden in Sara Jane Olsen's front yard. Be careful, the bushes may be booby-trapped.

Just a reminder for those arriving late who haven't bothered to go over some of the previous messages. The pre-hunt bash will be at Patrick McGovern's on West
7th in St. Paul this Saturday, starting at 7:00PM and presumably going until after the first clue comes out at 11:30. Its a bar and restaurant so plan to eat, but only
drink if you're over 21 (though everyone is welcome inside). There will be some trivia about the hunt and maybe some other activities. Buttons and Treasure Hunter
Guides MIGHT be available there. And since tomorrow is my birthday, make sure you bring me presents! (hehe) Maybe a nice shiny new shovel? (just kidding)

Actually, at the moment, virtually no plan at all. Just a possibility of dinner, but that's far from confirmed. Its my 32nd birthday so nothing special. And since my
birthday is close to the tresure hunt every year, I can't say its been of any help when it comes to finding the medallion in the past.

Hi to all my treasure hunting friends. Last year I guessed it was in Phalen. I still think it could be there this year. But being an iconclast(always a year late) I will guess
its in Linwood park this year. Now the trick is to guess what it is hiden in?? I think it will have something to do with Year 2000 maybee in a New Year's eve party
hat with 2000 on it.
When will they get ride of the header stateing it has been found, or did Aaron find it again this year??

I agree daddy I think it will have something to do with the millienium. Perhaps hidden inside of a pepper mill?, or maybe a play on the phrase "Y2K", as in it is hidden
inside of an item which name begins with a Y and ends with a K (i.e. yolk, yak, etc).

Has it ever been attached to anything of relevance? Looking over the list of past hiding places it certainly didn't seem so. The impression I get is the person (people?)
sits around and tries to think of either the most bizarre thing they can think of, or the most diabolically hard to find. It seems they leave the commemerative stuff up to
those who post the prize money.

anymore. It's amazing how the fever strikes so quickly and consumes you! Unfortunately I don't think I can make it to the bash but perhaps some of my digging
partners will. I'll be theorizing on line if anyone wants to chat more when you get home from McGovern's!

2nd Year Hunter. I LOVE THIS STUFF
Why do you think Linwood allready? The first clue has not come out yet. Tiny Thumbs, I hear ya. I can't stop talking about it at work, and my girl friend just about
hit me when I told her I can not see her for 13 days. LOL My people at work think that I am going crazy they have never heard of it before. Dang, they just don't
know what they are missing out on. I am Ready to DIG!

It hasn't been out of St. Paul since the 80's and there is certainly no shortage of hiding places in St. Paul. Thus, I'm not sure it will ever appear outside the city ever
again. As for where in the city it might be, that's just speculation and gut feelings, with a dash of "Where hasn't it been in a while?" thrown in.

Steve, hold me a book. I'll get it Sat nite!!! THANKS!!!
And we're all comin' home!!! Like good wido Diggers! Don'tcha LOVE it? We may roam over the summer, but chews can always find us rite here ever Med Hunt.
Gods, I love this place!
My boss is from WAY far west... And like has this notion I've got to give the XACT days I'll be out hunting! Like, impossible! You go dig when an idea hits.
Sheesh! Guess me and MJ will be basket cases from here until the end.
Think MomPlanet will flub it again this year and post the First Clue too early? Would be nice! :)
Terry, I couldn't find a set of four buttons, so got four 'singles.' Had to pay two BOCKS xtra, but thass otay. Goes to a good cause, don'tchaknow! I yust wanted to
make sure I had all the designs.
Ya'll notice there's a GREEN button??? :) Thass the ONE I'm wearing!
I KNOW a Cooler Crew Member's gonna find The Med this year! My first choice is Ter. She's an empassioned woman on a mission - not to mention she's always
so damn close. Law of averages.
My second choice is DDY. One of these days he's gonna realize that when somebody picks him up and moves him 5 feet and starts digging where he was standing
yust moments before that he's a dowsing rod for The Blue Puck.
Third choice izz Mom and Dad.
Me? I'll bee with Bee in the Frog Pond.
My resolution this year? I will NOT read too much into the Clues! Really!
I promise!
Well... I *am* gonna try anyway...

Check Out This Web Site: www.wintercarnival.8m.com
I just wanted to thank everyone one for their comments and suggestions about my web page.
I have been informed by the Pioneer Press that I will not be allowed to post the current clues on my web page. This will make my "Current Clue Analysis" page a
little less appealing to look at. It will contain a link the the clues at the Pioneer Planet and my thoughts about the clues.
I would also like to remind you that when the clues start getting really good, I'll be out in the park instead of at my computer. I'll try to check back in on a regular
basis, but there's no money to be made at the computer when there's $10,000 out in the park.
I'll do my best to keep the web page up to date during the hunt, but I make no promises.
Good Luck to everyone and enjoy the hunt!

It would be nice if one of us regulars on this board found the medallion this year. I, too, can't make it to the bash. Have to attend a birthday party but I really wish I
could be with you hunters that will be able to make it. I'll be thinking of you. We'll all be pretty busy once the first clue is posted; however, don't forget to pick up the
daily papers for each clue's clipping. It would be kinda nice to be able to determine who's been on this board just to match faces with names. I mainly wear white
earmuffs and a badge with Treasure Digger on it. Met a few of you last year and was great to discuss strategies in person for a change. I hope it warms up a little.
Snow for tomorrow isn't expected to amount to much. My guess again is the north or west sides of Ramsey County. It's been hidden in the south and east the last
few years. My boss laughs at me because I get so excited about the hunt. It's hard to believe how many people who have lived in Minnesota all their lives do not get
involved in the hunt or the carnival. I've lived here since 1988 and have been hunting for many years. I do admit that being able to talk over the clues on line is a great
help. Anxiously waiting to start treasure digging.

Hi all, I for one am tired of walking and digging all around the valued treasure and look forward to picking it up this year.
I'll bet they moved back the posting time of the clues this year in order to sell more papers at 11:35pm.
The Map Master - 03:26pm Jan 21, 2000 CST (#22036 of 22142)
Hide It and They Will Dig
Are you sure the paper is going to be released at 11:35 pm? When I called the Pioneer Press today, the operator said that the newspaper will be available for
pick-up sometime between 11:00 and 12:00. I probably wasn't talking to the right person. Hopefully the newspaper will clarify things a little in tomorrow's paper. I
think that they usually have an article in paper on the day before the hunt.

I just noticed that the new header states "just after midnight". What a bummer!!! I'm planning on buying the daily paper, but having to wait even a half hour later is
too cruel of us water cooler people. Some of us do have to work (although that's never stopped me from staying up) the next morning. I thought 11:30 PM was a
better time to release it on-line. What can we do, right? It's their game -- and WE LOVE IT!!! Very little goes on at my house for the duration of the hunt. House
chores are forbidden until the medallion is found. We have a good ground cover that will more than likely stay for the entire hunt. Makes hunting more challenging.
It's nice to see more of the regular names here from the last couple of years. I'm sure I'll be talking with everyone more often, especially tomorrow night.
Duff - 05:05pm Jan 21, 2000 CST (#22038 of 22142)
So whats the gig on Saturday night, I have discussed clues over the last few years online but have never attented a function. Is it open to all?
Ever since I can remember the paper was released somewhere downtown at 11:35pm and they are in business to sell papers so I bet that is why they will not post it
online till after midnight.

Hello All!
I see the excitement is building here.
It may be their game, but our paper gets delivered in the morning...and waiting till after midnight for the clue is not my idea of fun. You need to get the clue and head
to the park and then dig, turn in the medallion, get to bed and wake up again to head to work. 11:30 was late enough!!! Though I'm sure there is nothing we can do
about that, it's not making me too happy.
Duff - Saturday's gig...and the rehash bash after the hunt are open to anyone who wants to participate. If you think you can make it...(See my tag line)...let us know
here or to Allison by e-mail so we can add you to the list. We just need to let McGovern's know about numbers.

We'll prolly have to noodle and run - Mc's will be tossing us out shortly after The Clue comes out.
I'm gonna keep *my* clues in a little plastic bag... Zip Lock (R), so they don't get wet...
Question... What happens if you're out hunting all nite, don't get a paper, and find The Med at 7:30 a.m. - and you don't have *that* day's clue on you?
And... Did anybuddy else notice that the cards The Buttons come on do *not* say nary a thang about having to have The Clues on ya to get an xtra $2,500????
Nope. Yust says register/find = $10,000.

As far as Sorel boots go, I dont know if they have a web site or not, but they are what I wear religiously for medallion hunting, as well as any other long term
outdoor winter activities, and let me just say, your feet will not even know that they left the house....and they work great for kicking hardened snow and busting
chunks, cuz the heel is hardcore. ANybody clue me in as to what these clues are that I see being discussed on here? And oh by the way, for those interested, I
talked to Steve (author of Treasure Hunters Guide) just this week, and I mentioned to him that he should attend the prehunt bash and bring some books with. He
said he was going to try and make it. If he does, the books are $12.

Its sure hard to guess right now without clues...but here's some ideas I've been noodling.
It has not been outside the city limits in many years. Could this be the year that it's found in greater Ramsey County and not the City of St. Paul?
Phalen keeps roaming around in my head.
But the idea of a smaller, more obscure park makes things interesting too. (I liked hunting when it was at Langford. We practically had the park to ourselves!)
Tonight's clue should answer the first noodling about city or county. After that....the sky's the limit.

I have recently changed my mind, I know think it will be at Mounds Park. So look for something about being respectfull to park grounds in the first clue. Just a
thought.

That book is a good resource. Other things to have handy are maps and previous clues. They can be helpful for noodling too.
Mostly though - the gray matter between one's ears is the best guide in my opinion. It's where the light goes off and creates that gut feeling when you're in the park
and trying to figure out where to dig.

I'm guessing that it is just a general statement. It is to keep all of the people that don't know any better from digging on the golf courses. If they did not include it
every year the courses would be shredded and the PP would get so much flak(sp) for it they would have to watch the hunt very carefully for fear of cancellation.
