Martin Luther, and Martin Luther King are not the only iconoclasts in the world. I like Newell for the "well...new" play on words. But only for that reason. "A-lost-coin" doesn't get us anywhere, especially when there's an extra c. Somebody tell me about the 9,5 and sometimes a four?

Has anyone heard about Newell Park down in Highland area? There is a listing for it in St Paul Parks directory. It flanks Ford Pkwy and Highland Golf course. Is this a real park/alternative to the one by the Saints stadium?

David Medallion - 03:29pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4015 of 22132)

the 9 and 5 are the address on the corner of taylor and fairview...895....... and the 4 means either the 4 pillars on the pavillion or the 4 way stop on the corner

I saw earlier that there is something by np that advertises ks95. this would explain the 9 and the 5, the hidden 4 would be the 94.5.

Kate E

Depending on if that directory is by addresss or not you may come up with 900 N Fairview - Newell Park or 900 S Fairview - Just west of Highland Park

Don't know if this helps.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dave F - 03:39pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4026 of 22132)

Iconoclast can not be "A Lost Coin" the phrase is missing a "c".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian S - 03:39pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4027 of 22132)

Why does everyone keep bringing up president taylor. So what if he was president 150 years ago. That doesn't mean much right now based on the clues.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cammando WAyne - 03:40pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4028 of 22132)

Blast = what then Civil war was in the 1860 1999 1860 140

Dave F - 03:43pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4032 of 22132)

Iconoclast - may refer to the Highlanders of Scotland (remember the movie Braveheart)

Also, ironically enough if you search for Highland Park one listing is of a city surrounded by Detroit, MI which grew dramatically after Henry Ford established his automobile factory there in 1909.

Just something I dug up.

Some say that's Jesse Ventura?

Don't know how that fits, unless it is hidden on the Capitol Plaza or whatever that area south of the Cap is called.

If you're willing to be an "Iconoclast" - "a breaker of images or statues". I THINK this may have to do with what the medallion is in (ie; a piece of pottery, statuette, etc.) - emphasis on if you "treasure hunter" are willing to be a breaker of images / a destroyer. Of course this is a dangerous assumpltion - making me think to trade my shovel for a sledge hammer.

ICONOCLASM: any movement against the religious use of images particularly the movement that disturbed the byzantine empire in the 8th and 9th century. BLA BLA BLA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

David D. - 03:52pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4058 of 22132)

I think the old and new means the the old and new pools at Highland Or, maybe the old and new water towers there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason Dreyer - 03:52pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4059 of 22132)

Where is Newell Park, and what is the reasoning behind that idea?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian S - 03:52pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4060 of 22132)

Yes I know that. Maybe they don't care though. Lots of stuff happend 150 years ago. To go and assume that because it is the 150th they will automatically bring up taylor in the hunt will not be too helpful. Tonights clue will probably send us in the right park direction. Not to Newell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dave F - 03:53pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4061 of 22132)

David M -

I like either Highland or Newell.

I do not think BC, Phalen, or Como.

Did anyone stop to wonder...Why would anyone give you accurate information if they actually knew how to find the medallion. I would say that I would hold it close to the vest if I had any clue.

Unless tonights clue is "If you are in Highland you are playing it safe, People at Newell are in the wrong place." I'll be at Newell tonight

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

David Medallion - 03:56pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4069 of 22132)

the thing that kills me is they throw 1 word in there that every one gets out their dictionary for........past hunts indicate you dont need to do that

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasure Digger - 03:57pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4070 of 22132)

Let's agree on a few things. The main two parks everyone is suggesting are Newell and Highland. So, the best thing to do is wait until tonight (and hopefully I can get on this time -- was denied access all night last night) and hopefully the clue will be more helpful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stone Cold - 03:57pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4071 of 22132)

dave is right newell there is plenty of out of the way places to hide a medallion its the size of a half dollar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian S - 03:57pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4072 of 22132)

Andy it is a conspiracy. We just want you to go to the wrong parks so you wont be there when we find it!!!!! Ha Ha Ha. By the way who is gonna fly the black helicopter tonight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason Dreyer - 03:57pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4073 of 22132)

That seems to be the idea of this discussion group... helping eachother.. actually finding it is 95% luck when everyone knows the Park anyway... So again, where is Newell park, can anyone 'clue' me in?

Storm, izzit you that lives near Phalen?

Who was it earlier today that posted about the [old] pump house at Phalen? And something about a *waterfall* - I *think* s/he said waterfall, but I may have that wrong. I've the info at work, but Word crashed on me (seems all systems are a'crashing lots... FIX WEBCROSSING, PLEASE!!!), and I decided to call it a day and get home.

Anyway, izz there an old well this pump(house) could have/did provide for? If so, izz there now a new well in Phalen? Too, where did this stream of water go to? Did the water "blast" outta the old well/pump? And in which direction did it go?

Another way to phrase "iconoclast" is somebuddy that goes against the grain [of the norm]. And said yet another way, somebuddy that goes against the flow [stream].

So, if you're willing to go against the flow (upstream), the treasure might belong to you...

Huummmm....

And, Edward Phalen *could* have been called an iconoclast - he was certainly a $hitz-stirrer-upper!

Hi Green. I've been sloggin' - nothing definate yet. Newell adds up, but it seems so darn early for such a direct clue (value as WELL in the NEW). I may head out there late tonight. Tonight's clue will determine that.

Queen Boreas - 05:05pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4106 of 22132)

I have been out driving out looking for the three guys who always seem to be on the right spot. A lot of times, they wear camauflage clothing, but they always know what the clues mean. Have been to a lot of parks, and have not seen any of them. The only time I start looking is when I see them out in a park. I know they know the guy that drives the Winnebago, and they know a lot of other people who have found the treasure in the past, but I still haven't seen them. I am waiting until I see one of those guys. One of them drives a cadillac.

Hello!

Went scouting this morning and again this afternoon around Newell. Only a couple others riding around this morning. This afternoon there were probably about 12 - 15 cars parked around there with some hunters out in the park. I'm hoping tonight's clue will help zero in on an area, but I'll bet not.

Could someone fix the web crossing? Please???????? I got so frustrated last night trying to read and/or post! Looks like some good noodling was going on today.

I'm off to nap a bit. See you all later - if we can get here.

Iconoclast is the clue to where the coin is hidden. The word literally translated means "image breaker." The coin will be hidden in something that will have to be broken to get it out.

Ok, adding to the Newell thing - could the "flying downhill" in clue two refer to the giant slide at the MN State Fair, just north of Newell? Ok, the fair is also just west of Como, but.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 05:16pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4115 of 22133)

Bob, I can understand your reasoning, however, I just can't *see* MomPress giving that sort of clue - basically the go-ahead to smash things up! Mirrors, windows, planters, ice rinks...

Me thinks MomPress would be hanging herself and I just can't see her doing that.

Rather "going against the flow," "going against the mainstream," stuff like that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 05:18pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4116 of 22133)

Heck! Even walking the wrong way down a "Do Not Enter" or "One Way" street/entrance would fit the bill for iconoclast.

I posted on Message 3593 I think it was, my logic for it being at Highland. I am curious as to why you think it is at Newell other than Hihgland?

Phillip, I'm thinking - and this is only an educated guess - that the foul language is being purged when the WebCrossing goes down. If you don't like that - not being able to get in - complain. See at the bottom of the page "Email to Sysop." Ask what's going on. And if I'm correct, ride the little juvie's butt's and tell them to clean up their language!

Rushmore....just a play on words in the second line of today's clue led me to Newell. Don't have a clue whether that thinking is right or wrong. I always from way before the clues started thought Phalen and drove through Highland the other night as well. We should see a body of water clue soon if it's Phalen....a reference to the water towers if it's Highland.

And who knows? We might find ourselves yet in the frog pond!

Yepper. I'm not dead set on them, though. I was POSITIVE it was in Mounds last year, so I'm keeping an open mind. Highland makes a strong case for itself, and so does Phalen. Everything else seems like a reach.

Terry, Thanks for the info. I agree, I think tonights clue will be somewhat more helpful than the last. By Friday we should know what park it is in. Last year we had CHerokee down very early. I think they are making it harder this year. Possibly it is at newell and since we got Cherokee so early last year they will make us wait and see since it is such a small park. I just think something as obvious as "well" and "new" mentioned in clue 4 is too obvious.

Our Dear Nightwatch Man, Casey Trauer, left MomPlanet for green pastures in Canada... We miss his ugly, smiling mug, and his dry wit much. However, we wished him the best and sent him on his way with a kiss and a prayer for even greater successes.

Eric is now our Nightwatch Man - I believe. He has not had as much time to ease into the position as what Casey did... Think he's too busy dealing with deleting posts and keeping things clean around here. Good guy, but I think terribly overwhelmed at the moment. Anything we can do - i.e., patrol this place/language ourselves, will help him, plus maybee keep that damn 'Crossing from going down.

Phillip, The St. Paul PioneerPress and their offshoot - their Web site, The PioneerPlanet - are VERY interested in feed back regarding the various Coolers. Your message will be read, discussed with those in the loop, and acted upon. But you may never hear back from them. I speak from xperience! LOL!!!

I think the webcrossing and the server down problems are beyond the heavier traffic here. There have certainly been other times that the traffic is heavy on these boards but without the ensuing down time.

And this problem has been happening any time of the day or night. This board is not all that busy 24 hours a day to be causing this all the time. It probably is a factor, but not the only cause.

If they keep them closed, especially this weekend, you can bet it won't be there, not in that part of Phalen anyways. If they were going to keep out night diggers, they'd advertise it so we don't dig up the rest of town

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 06:02pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4197 of 22133)

Just my opinion, Ter...

I could handle the STUPID downtime a whole hell of a'lot better if someone would just say, "Look. Our face izz red. We've got this prob, and we are SSSSOOO SORRY! Please bare with us. We know ittiz hard for you, and we apologize. We are doing our best to correct the situation, and ease your use of these Coolers."

Man. I'd melt - you know ME - and say, "Otay... Izz there anything I can do to help???"

But this continued PROBLEM, unaddressed to us in The Coolers, and they know WELL our angst and fury, is rehensible!!!

I came with in an "n'th" tonite of just signing off and not coming bock until it was all over.

But, see? The language has been fine... At least here... And the WebCrossing has NOT gone down!

(And now that I've said *that* you can bet your booties IT WILL GO DOWN!!!)

I have a hunch about the number thing....like could it refer to something the medallion is hidden in? Often in early clues they reference what you are actually looking for....the item that holds the medallion.

Too, last year at Chair-O-Key, the cops let us park EVERYWHERE. Not matter if it said "No Parking" or not. Think if we don't block Wheelock Pkwy, we should bee fine - I mean if we park in "No Parking" zones on the residentual streets.

I have to give the St. Paul Men In Blue a big hand. They took everything instride last year (my first year) and were so nice. Never got ruffled, never ticketed an illegal parker, nuttin'. They were so smooth, cool and great.

Think the same will hold true if folks turn out at Phalen. Too, has ANYONE tried to open the gates - GENTLY, NOT FORCE!!! - to see if they're unlocked? Like, maybee they'd just swing open... But, too, they may be locked as the Med may not bee hidden anywhere up by the Club House and over down to the lake.

Phalen story i thought last night i found the right place... there is a softball field #5 there is an intersection a house on the corner of an address is 940 spent an hour digging and that was after the locals in the area dug it throughly.. it is a huge area to hide the medallion ... however can someone tie the 4th clue to Phalen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 06:16pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4228 of 22133)

Life, you're rite... But in *some* years ittiz been later. You can take a titch from years past - the clues, where what happened - but each year is a new year. And there is NO guarantee the clues will follow form. Each clue must be taken as an entity, and combined with those that follow - with a sharp, hesitant eye to past years...

If we had a light weight fight "Med Meets 'Blower!!!" I'd put my money on The Med. Would TKO that 'blower in a heart beat!!! LOL!!!

Play a fun game with your friends. Pick a year in the past. Make sure it is a year which you do NOT know the answer. Have a friend read the first four clues to you. Can you narrow it down to just ONE park? Was it right? Patience, Digger-son, patience.

I don't believe it's been brought up before, but could the 9-5-4 reference landmarks referred to in the clues using a clock.

That one still puzzles me.

I m not ruling out New well.. I was there today... search for a few hours with about 25 other people.. it was dugg up very well...thats why I dont fell it is there..otherwise it would have been found...

Hi: Here are my Ideas: 9-5 perhaps the work hours of the police station in highland park. Numbers on the frisbee golf course nearby. Iconoclast, perhaps referring to St. Paul himself, looking for a religious figure that you have to break to get the mediallion??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuckie - 06:43pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4271 of 22133)

I am thinking that maybe the references to the 9 and 5 and 4 are maybe pointing to clues # 9, #5 and #4 and that we will have to hold onto our fannies and wait to see what these three clues have in common. I guess we will see tonight if clue #5 is a bit like #4 and so forth.

Phil, we're all Newbies - once. I was last year.

Ittiz hard for adults (such as me) to take what izz posted during the day when I'm at work and lurking.

But in all fairness, anyone is entitled to their lethargy and laziness. As I'm entitled to ignoring those that are such.

However... <g> I'm entitled to ignoring them, and/or to letting them know *why* they're being ignored.

We call can handle quite a bit here. But rudeness, meaness, cruelty, inappropriate language... And DUMB, REDUNDANT questions are not tolerated!!!

Now, a "dumb"* question - obviously from someone that's never done this, is answered RITE AWAY. Because there are NO dumb questions on how to do something, why is something this way, "I'm getting what you're saying, I HEARD IT, but ittiz not impacting -AAAaaaaafvc what did you mean *again*???"; "green, Huh? I don't understand that..."

These are never "dumb" questions. Ever.

Well, you get my drift.

We're all in this together. Else we'd not gravitate here. So! Lettuce be nice to all of us!

Got it? Good! <g>

Hello everyone again, we are taking the kids to go digging for an hour.. Last night someone metioned that they thought the iconclast may refer to Jesse, how I can't remember, but do you think that iconclast could mean that the medallion is attached to a Jesse doll? that probably sounds really stupid, but how many time have you walked by a toy, and though nothing of it?

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."

Stallion here, I have it pretty well knocked down to either highland or battle creek, my guess is that the medalion is hidden in an empty case of "Predator" the movie. I'd bet quite a bit of money that that's what we're looking for, the question- of course- is WHERE? And as for the clues, no harder or easier, or wierder, than last year. It just seems that way since we're all a bit miffed right now . . .

Take 94 to Snelling and go south, form there take Ford Parkway West, I think you'll just about run straight into it. Either that or continue down Snelling and Highland will be on the right . . .

Mr. Barton, Things are seldom as they seem. I wouldn't be so quick to say it could ONLY be in those two parks. The clues could still be interpreted to inclued just about any park right now, have an open mind or you'll end up diggin where there's nothing to find

The more I read over the last clue the more and more I come to the conclusion that they are trying to tell us to break from the normal thought. Either they've hid in a recent park, say Como. Or they are trying to tell us look in a park its never been in before. Remember we always gots ta keep an open mind, so how about a list of never been there parks:

Larger Parks

CROSBY FARM REGIONAL PARK-----NEVER

PIGS EYE PARK-----NEVER

Medium Sized

ARLINGTON/ARKWRIGHT PARK-----NEVER

they have to give away that it's at highland park by one of the earlier clues... has anyone seen how much ground there is to cover there???????? and it's way too early to gove away that it is at newell so i think new+well= that newell park is nearby

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

medalionstalion - 07:16pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4336 of 22133)

"For if you hide the medallion, even in your hearts, there will he rake for it . . ."

Regalman- Why not what, Newell? Because it's way to obvious for this early on, and because the park is so small. "well" and "new" could be clues for something totally different. SISTER- Battle Creek because in around clue #3 the last word was SHOUT, as in Battle Cry. Also because it is the closest park to the 94 and hwy 5 intersection. AND because it is close to Pigs Eye lake, which is pretty historical (past) and perhaps a "gateway" (front door) to the city.

BART- Newell park being close by, that's good. I think you could be on to something. Let's face it, "new" and "well" aren't in the clue by mistake, it HAS to be a refference, but not necisarly a refference that it is in THAT particular park.

Is there road access?? Does it have picnic tables, volleyball, softball, parking, restrooms, etc.... Someone has to have been there.

green, you are an idiot. where do you get off telling other people that they are not entitled to information just because they are reading the internet? you are the slog.you will never find this thing, and you`re family will never find it. you would have a better chance if you spent more time using your big head, instead of insulting people trying desperatly to act smart. obviously you are not any closer than everyone else because you`re on the internet like us.

I like the pigs eye idea.. a new park.. a look over the map.. looks like hwy 61.. then you need to find red rock road.. its look like right before 494.... then circle back to Pigs Eye Park....anyone else agree Pigs Eye could be the place this year....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barton Fink - 07:48pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4358 of 22133)

has anyone noticed that 51 and 5 basically triangulate the borders of highland park??? i'd say that may count as adorning the front door....

and the 4+shout = "fore" = there IS a golf course at the park we are searching for....

and 9+numbers keep core=innings in a baseball game, of which there are fields at highland...

just noticed a street called Rankin leading to higland park... rankin=ranking="numbers keep score"????

not to mention Homer St... another baseball reference.. (and an indirect reference to my picture!!!)

Thomas Pembrooke - 07:56pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4364 of 22133)

If anyone is interested???

I recently moved to St. Paul from the East coast and have become quite enamered with your Hunt, and have become a first year hunter!!!

I've noticed something in the clues and since I am new to the area, I thought I would share my thoughts with all of you in hopes that together we can figure this out!

The first letters of each line in clue #1 are "T I B L A S F W"

I belive they represent an anagram!!!

"Walfsbit" Arthur J. Walfsbit to be exact!!!

If anyone knows, he is the founder of the "Wall Street Journal" which is the newspaper with the largest circulation in the world!

I thought this might be a coincidence!!! However, following a hunch a browsed through the last few editions!!!

Clue #2 Monday: The word "nil" is in the Headlines!!

Clue #3 Tuesday: The word "adorn" is in the Headlines!!!

Clue #4 Wednesday: The word "Iconoclast" is in the Headlines!!

I thought the first two could easily be a coincidence, but "Iconoclast" give me a break!!!

I do not know anything about local parks so if someone would look through their last three days WSJ's and see if there is a local reference and post your response I would appreciate it!!!

Thank You!!!

Ms. Milwaukee - 07:59pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4365 of 22133)

Wall street man- in 1997 the first letter's of each clue spelled out "COMO IT IS NOT" by going into the middle of the clue I think you are going a little far.

Right now all signs lead to Newell Park...each clue fits references to this park and none omits it, so this is the best bet at the current time. I'll be out there at midnight tonight with my lantern and spade.

rocketgirl - 08:14pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4388 of 22133)

Hey everyone...

just a few factoids from some research i did:

Merriam Park was the original site for the present state capitol building. (found in St Paul Parks: A treasure hunters guide), there's a good sledding hill, a golf course nearby,....i'm not sure about addresses in the area. But who was St. Anthony? St. Anthony Ave is near that park.

Martin Luther King Park (someone was talking about MLK earlier today) is the home of the Penumbra Theater...."scene"? and is right off of interstate 94. Certainly MLK could probably be considered an iconoclast in the "rebel" sense of the word.

I drove around Linwood Park ("nil") today and noticed that you can see a sign for hwy 5, there is a 4 way stop directly infront of the recreation center...I think its located in the 890s of St. Clair, you can probably get some airport traffic, it sits on the side of a hill so there must be some downhill fun nearby...there is a basketball court, tennis court, and a composting site down the road.

After my day of driving around and trips to the library, I'm totally confused. I was so sure it was NP or Highland...now i'm not so sure...i even drove by the govenor's mansion to see what the number was...800s....plus i was wondering if the blvd extended down that far...it doesn't. certainly summitt avenue could handle a couple hundred people scouring the parkway?....but the neighbors would probably raise Heck....hmmm just a thought. is the govenor's office a 4 year term? I also wondered about the idea that the medallion would be connected to something Jesse....I would be surprised if this whole hunt is Jesse-free.

just my 2 cents.

Wright Winger - 08:15pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4389 of 22133)

I think iconoclast in todays clue means cherokee. cuz like what do we hunters hold granted based on no proof? that it wont repeat parks 2 years in a row. and studying the past tells us that. so how about cherokee after looking at todays clue?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

floyd - 08:15pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4390 of 22133)

and its not highland becuse highland also has a golf course and the first clue says its not there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wright Winger - 08:15pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4391 of 22133)

oh and iconoclast means someone who goes against what people beleave based on no proof and faith alone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K G - 08:16pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4392 of 22133)

I do have it pinpointed to a certain area, now all I need to do is battle the snow and freezing rain which has made walking around the snow tough. This is my 17th year looking for this treasure, I was within 10feet of the winner in 89'.

Newell park is to small to have the hunt in, when they offer $10,000 It has to be a large park for a large crowd. Right????????? I like the idea of Highland Park, 5 & 51 for entry, and 9 for baseball field, and four for the golf course, they also have a frisby golfcourse. On the second clue I thought Como Park because of the slide they are building for the winter carnival. What do You think of Clue #2????????

Someone asked earlier about the clues from previous hunts. That page last year was done by Greg Sax who is the webmaster for the www.coolercrew.com web site. Those only included the last 10 years for clues and a listing of all the past hiding places since the inception of the hunt in 1952. That information is all on the web site this year plus more.

Greg is working on the site to make it as complete as possible. If you have any information, pictures or ideas, please e-mail him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ms. Milwaukee - 08:29pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4424 of 22133)

there is one way it would be at Como they would be asking for problems. if as many people show up to this slide as the last slide and have 1000000 people out looking for this -- you have got to be nutz!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barton Fink - 08:30pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4425 of 22133)

more ideas to Highland.... hey Devoted Hunter... whatchya think of rankin and homer streets being derived from "numbers that keep score" they both come off of 5 and give good boundadries to dig between... im gonna scout it tomorrow... if someone already has please tell me what ya saw

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great Milenko - 08:30pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4427 of 22133)

Does anyone know if Newell Park is always as well lit as it was tonight? Perhaps it is always well lit because of activities in the rec center, or whatever that building is called. BTW, what a cool looking building, and what a nice little park!

By contrast, I drove by Cherokee Park and it is very dark. I remember Cherokee being fairly well lit last year during the hunt, unless I am imagining things, which is entirely possible.

Treasure Digger - 08:44pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4436 of 22133)

Eagle Eye: I have Jim-the-Freight-Train at Newell at this moment. Says the reason the park is lit is because of the Train Yard -Midway Hub Center for Burlington Northern etc. So it would always be lit for that reason. Now, Jim can't seem to see the stadium -- maybe because if it being fogging - but does anyone know you can definitely see the stadium on a good night/day?

alias "The Woman and I" '98

Holy cripes dere Pembrooke. I thought I read into the clues TOO far! I like it though, don't get me wrong.

I was heard saying "Mark my words, it's in Phalen!" weeks before the first clue came out, but alas, that confident marked phrase is now a doubt as the clues seem to pointing to a different local. The only thing Phalen has going is the Golf course, possibly a sliding hill.

Here's my take on the Clues

Clue No. 1:

The time for fun has now begun

In our hunt that's open to all

But if you don't want to be outdone

Look only on public ground in St. Paul

It's in St. Paul (DUH)

A park is the spot but a golf course is not

So please don't disturb a fairway or green

Follow this advice and you won't be caught

Wasting your time at the wrong scene

This could refer to Phalen because the golf course borders the entire side of the park. Or it could be Highland as well...

Clue No. 2:

Flying downhill can be quite a thrill

And a popular outdoor attraction

But your chances of winning are nil

If you get too close to the action

Flying downhill could be sliding- which there are places to do so EVERYWHERE those kids today are pretty resourceful! Outdoor attraction could refer to the Midway Stadium that the Saints play at and getting too close to the action could mean it's a little ways away from the stadium. So... Newell park?

Clue No. 3:

Numbers keep score and adorn the front door

Now do your best to figure these out

A nine and a five and somewhere a four

Get them right and you'll shout

Numbers keep score could mean the scoreboard at the stadium ( maybe it's visible from the vantage point of the puck ). Nine could be innings in a baseball game.

Clue No. 4:

Studying the past can be quite a blast

But there's value as well in the new

If you're willing to be an iconoclast

The treasure might belong to you.

"But there's value as well in the new" ARE THEY TELLING US ALREADY? Well + New = Newell

Well, that's my take on the clues (partially, I have to keep the real bizzarre thoughts to myself or else some one may put me away HaHa, they'll come and take me away Ha Ha, THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY!)

Whoa....anywho- If anyone runs out with this and finds that darn puck before I do- you owe me a beer.

Happy hunting!

Alan

P.S.

That naked guy has the right idea- Let's keep the messages that we post pertinant to THE HUNT. You can go anywhere else to "chat" and the little personal messages take up valuable diggin' time to weed through.

GREAT, anyone getting this error?

I live less than a mile away, you can see the scoreboard, from certain parts, it isn't a big park like como highland or phalen but it isn't as small as you would think. I think it could be there, but just confused as to why they released it so early

Gotta believe its at Highland. Why would they spell the park out in only the fourth clue when there are 12 total - the carnival hasn't even begun yet and Newell is a small park - especially compared to Highland et. al. Waiting for tomorrow's clue.

NP. It's There - won't get into the details - been there, done that. For those in the know - you can stand at a certain point and see the 9-5-4 thing, it's pretty clever, I must admit - but it's real tough to see at night. Everything else is there - iconolast, pierce butler - ya know who he was, I didn't till this PM - I was out there yesterday and today. Clues all fit. I'll be out there tonight. Have fun at HP, Phalen or wherever else. If I see y'all at NP - great - there's alot of diggin to do.

Well, it's a Jim but not the better half. He's at work. It's Jim-the-Freight-Train. He work's with me and is totally addicted to this as much as we are. Poor sap!!! But we got tired of everyone else telling us about the Parks, and finally went looking for ourselves. The only theory that works for us is the tower (KS95 or call letter 94.5 "a 9 and a 5 and somewhere a 4" would work for this. The stadium and 4 pilars at the entrance. Anymore suggestions that you can think of beside leaving and going to Highland. Jim said there are 4 basketball hoop/poles at the park. Nothing more.

Liz Apman - 09:06pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4478 of 22133)

Treasure Digger - 09:09pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4488 of 22133)

Rob, we talking about Newell. The 9, 5, and 4 we believe might have a reference to the radio station KS95 whose tower you can see from Newell and the actually call letters being 94.5. You may was to check the previous message to get caught up. My source is on his way to Highland. Will let you know when he gets there.

IN THE AREA YOU CAN SEE THE MIDWAY STADIUM AND YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBERS!!! I HAVE A FEELING THE CLUES WILL BE TALKING MAYBE ABOUT TRAINS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

Mr. Medallion, NOT COMO, Newell can't even park twenty cars, But you can see the state fair fire works from newell. Hamline univ. is close by for studing the past! 9 & 5 could be dock # at Daytons warehouse across the tracks from newell park. Maybe!~

Barton Fink - 09:12pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4495 of 22133)

has anyone noticed that 51 and 5 basically triangulate the borders of highland park??? i'd say that may count as adorning the front door....

and the 4+shout = "fore" = there IS a golf course at the park we are searching for....

and 9+numbers keep core=innings in a baseball game, of which there are fields at highland...

just noticed a street called Rankin leading to higland park... rankin=ranking="numbers keep score"????

not to mention Homer St... another baseball reference.. (and an indirect reference to my picture!!!)

I've checked the last 10 years' clues - they don't spell the park out that obvious by the 4th clue - why would they this year? Why would th PP want the medallion found asap? That wouldn't be good pr! They want to keep us hanging as long as possible. Not at NP.

oh the clues are with me... 2 more hours to go until another one is hinting at highland... they have us right where they want us though... they can bring up a number of items that relate to BOTH newell and highland, it keeps us divided and prolongs the hunt... the railroad tracks hint at highland and newell, any water references would lean heavily in highlands favor because newell is fairly distant from the river...

There have been many references to Highland as a big park. Keep in mind though that it is almost all golf course, which is off limits. Eliminate that and it's not much different than Newell.

CLUE #1 - "Fairway" & "Scene" = Fair-VIEW. Won't get "caught" = baseball reference - Midway or ballfield at NP.

CLUE #2 - Say's stay away from COMO and sliding hills - sliding hill comes into play in Clue #4

CLUE #3 - "Score" reference to sports = NP has baseball, V-Ball, Tennis, Basketball

9-5-4 + comes together with Clue #4.

"shout" = reference to cheering fans at midway

CLUE #4 - "Studying the Past" = 150 year anniversary of the PP, founded in 1849. In 1849, gues who was President - Zach TAYLOR - Taylor St - runs into Newell.

"as WELL as the NEW" - a clear reference

Iconoclast = Pierce Butler was a revolutionary war figure, rebel (PB borders NP) or this refers to what the medallion is hidden inside (ie; if YOU're willing to BE an iconoclast (destroyer)) - implies you may have to bust something open.

As far as the 9-5 and somewhere a 4 thing. On the corner of Fair-VIEW and Taylor, which is exactly opposite (not near) the sliding hill, is a house with the address 895. Now I know where the "4" is - can't give that one away - but it's real tough to see it in the dark, and you can only see it from a certain angle.

Hope this HELPS - GOOD Luck - If anyone can do the same analysis and make it fit for somewhere else - I'm listening - but.......I'll be at NP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hilari 1 - 09:32pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4527 of 22133)

I agree that it may not be hidden in anything at all iconoclast can be rearranged to spell "a lost coin"

I'll give all of you a major clue but won't reveal the exact details. The reason there is such an emphasis on the golf course destruction is because it is next to a private golf course in St. Paul not a public. they could get in big trouble if their hunt ruined private property. why do you think that there is a new rule this year about destroying peoples property.

and the 4+shout = "fore" = there IS a golf course at the park we are searching for....

and 9+numbers keep score=innings in a baseball game, of which there are fields at highland...

just noticed a street called Rankin leading to higland park... rankin=ranking="numbers keep score"????

not to mention Homer St... another baseball reference.. (and an indirect reference to my picture!!!)

Boomhower:

If it makes ya feel better, my mom went to St Bernards. But that was back when this thing was worth $100's. Doesn't it seem like they're trying to bring this great underground St Paul kind of thing into the mainstream? I mean, we'll probably end up with people from MINNEAPOLIS out here. I shudder to think....

I don't think "flying downhill" refers to sledding. I heard there is a ski jump you can see from battle creek park but its in the Maplewood part of the park "away from the action" what do you think?? Iconoclasts were also eastern orthodox. Does anybody know of eastern orthodox churches by parks?? There is one with a 641 prefex phone number which would put it close to newell

Why go dig if the park is bigger than HP and NP and there are hardely any clues. There hasn't been anyone there all night, and noone knows about it. I figure I'll wait to see if the clue points a direction rather than diggin for nothing. this park is huge

William Wallace days--there were some folks called the HIGHLANDERS--they were at war with the Church of England--ravaged the countryside destroying all churches and ICONS!!! if you read the clue--you have to BECOME an ICONOCLAST!!!!((you can only become a HIGHLANDER by digging at HIGHLAND!!!)) Nice to see you Barton--ill be out there tonight--gonna use tonights clue to figgure out the area.(hopefully??)

Hi Wright!!! Is your partner from last year joining you or are you solo this year?

These clues sure have us going. We had it narrowed to Cherokee or Highland by 4 last year...and by 6 had it picked.????

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wright Winger - 10:31pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4651 of 22134)

think iconoclast is a break with tipicle treasure hunting beleifs. like no repeating a park. or a break from the main parks like HP HF CP BC HI Como

most people i know that think its at como. live by come. its not como. newell was used in 84, it was attached to a broken 45 rpm record. it was found by my aunts friend kert. but i cant remeber his last name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crystal - 10:31pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4652 of 22134)

Treasure digger-- Do you remember me saying I e-mailed steve W. the guy who makes the st.pual treasure guide books?? Well he did e-mail me back saying it was a no go BUT I went to the library and found it there and made a copy of every page! lol look for rob and I too!! I am short, Blonde hair and 8 mos. pregnant in a red coat. Rob is alot taller than me so look for a goofy looking couple!! (i am sure it would be tough to pin point ANYONE with the crowds this year!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

christopher campbell - 10:31pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4656 of 22134)

From the Gold Mole: I am a treasure digging animal. After an easy days work I set out for a hard days night as I have for countless years in St. Pauls Parks. You may have seen me or as least a portion of my vast trail system. I am the one digging when all others have quit. I do not rest but merely give myself enough time to thaw my beard before I return to work. One day you will see me with the medalliam clasped in my swollen and chapped hands or in the hands of my brother nightdigger mike or my son the clue shrew....because we never give up, we never give up, we never give up, we never give up

Who says there couldn't be 2 $10,000 prizes.... Seems an easier way to split up the crowds who'll be swarming like killer bees once the park is narrowed down. Cherokee looked like daylight at midnight last year (surreal)... There were people and cars everywhere...

Who is all going hunting after the clue tonight? We got the back of the ol station wagon folded down with blankets, so the little ones can sleep and we can dig, can't dig to far from the car though... Highland is just so BIG !!! We drove around forever trying to find something to relate to the clues and we couldn't. Police officer sat and talked to my husband for quite a while, he was undercover, saw quite a few of those, didn't see alot of people though...

Treasure digger, Rob and I made copies of the book and found it to be pretty cool! It pinpoints EVERYTHING, EVERY St. Paul Park has to offer and where it all is and I believe a little history too! It also has the surrounding area too for street references etc. It was wort the year at the copy machine ( I think!!) It may be a little out of date but its nice to have!! I suggest you to go take a look at the library!! They will not let you check it out due to some dumb reason but oh well!!

Beer Me! - 11:01pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4740 of 22134)

I think it is way to early to tell what park it is in. Here is something to think about. Ramsey County provides active recreation areas in nine county parks, five regional parks and five regional corridors. And Regal if I'm thinking of the same park as you. That is way to small and no parking. There is going to be thousands of people out there digging .

I believe that the treasure is in Como Park. The Winter Carnival Ice slide is there this year and it says if you get to close to the action you won't find it. But there is an old monument in Como Park and the ball fields are not that far away from where the Ice Slide is going to be.

Bad Dawg - 11:09pm Jan 27, 1999 CST (#4764 of 22134)

The numbers 9,5,4 could mean that there are nine innings in a ball game and that the #5 position on the ball field is the shortstop or third base position I believe. When it says sometimes a four if your lucky, I think it means that sometimes you can hit a home run in a game and circle all four bases.

"I still haven't found what I'm looking for"

BK: You are kickin it! I've had the HP vibe all along, but then again I got suckered into digging @ Mounds last year! The last thing I ever try to do is over-estimate the amount of info in the clues; its gotten me nowhere in the past. Is it just me, or did the Como stuff 2 yrs ago just all come together much better? Maybe they were trying to make up for the knock down drag out deal at Harriet Island the year before. I'll be over and out, or should be by 12:30. Good luck!

Darryl Zero - 12:45am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4837 of 22134)

Are there a lot of people going out to Highland? Boy, by the amount Newwell lovers here it seems like searching at this park would be like waiting in line in the bathroom during a Vikings Game. And the reason no one found the Medallion until the last day in 1984 (I was there) was because no one knew it was there until he basically said it is at Newwell Park, it wasn't like everyone was destroying the place during the third clue. I say Highland or Como... Who is going searching tonight?

I believe the medallion is close to a school or maybe a few schools, but still that is general because, just like all the other clues, it points towards both Como and Highland. They both have schools near the park, anyone thinking what I am thinking.

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost

I still think the 9,5, & 4 refer to an address. Its easy to pick out the 900 block, and not too hard to find 950, but you'd have to approximate the 4 (somewhere a four). 954 East goes through Phalen (right through the softball fields & hockey rinks in fact) as well as Mounds. 954 West only seems to go through Como. 954 North only seems to go through Beaver Lake Park and some other tiny green spots I can't identify. 954 South goes through Highland. Hope this helps support everyone's personal pet theory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allison Wonderland - 01:03am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4862 of 22134)

Dreams are the roadmap to life; without them we are lost

If my address theory is right, and Clue #5 does refer to a school, (I know, two big assupmtions) then I think that narrows it down to Como and Highland. I think Clue #4 indicates Como more than Highland though.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as the history thing goes, its the paper's anniversary, not the hunt's. So I don't think that would be influence. Besides, Como has THREE schools adjacent to it, Como Elementery, Como Sr. High, and Chelsea Heights school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allison Wonderland - 01:07am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4868 of 22134)

The center of the 954's is the middle of downtown, not a park at all. The missle from Como could be a blast, and it is certainly from the past.

Well, golly, I guess that the medallion is hidden everywhere. I'm having trouble parsing what's really happening. Newell, it's not there. People need to find a quarter in the couch and go buy a clue. I've said timeless times that the golf course is imperitive. Sheesh.

Allison Wonderland - 01:11am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4871 of 22134)

Actually, the missle is a real, disarmed missle, not a statue at all. As far as other 954 intersections, no two 954's seem to come together in a park.

STalion signing on here, I know you're all thinking HP or Como, but in case anyone is still thinking it might be Pig's Eye, don't bother. I don't think the park really exists.

As a Como resident, let me explain how it fits the clues: There is a golf course (of course). There is both sledding and downhill skiing. Where? On the golf course! So again they say stay off! The big Winter Carnival Slide will also be at Como. Como has softball fields and hockey rinks ("Numbers keep score") and the address 954 north goes through Como Park. The Medallion was there two years ago so only someone with real radical thinking (an iconoclast) would think they'd put it there again so soon. And there are three schools adjacent to Como. That is basically my Como arguement.

I suppose now that I've convinced myself it's in Como, I can go to bed.

I heard that they were still working around the conservatory. Besides they seem to be such sticklers about the park-would they be willing to allow it to get dug up again? Plus, the hunt started in '52, it was found in a chest at highland. Since this is the 150th whose to say they wouldn't put it there this year. OR they could know we are on to the history deal and this was an elimination clue, much like yesterdays was with Newell. This clue was not very helpful.

I'm pretty sure they finished the conservatory unless they moved onto another stage. But I do recall a grand reopening ceremony last summer. I'm sure they don't want the park dug up again, but some park has to be sacrificed. I think maybe that's why they're being more vague with the clues. I seem to remember Como was obvious by about the fourth clue last time and so people had several days to dig it up.

Eagle: hehehehe, a sweatshirt for *that*? I'm surprised you don't have the medallion already!

I'm currently trying to pull some anagrams out of the clues with dry spells in them. There's always a chance that there's information beyond the printed words.. And it happens most all the time.

I don't know whether or not I should go out tonight... Hmm..

Ya know, I don't give a rat's ass how many times someone found the medallion, or when, or why. If that same person dumps his stupidity on the bulletin board saying poorly punctuated, and frequently all capitalized, "ITS TO URLIE," I'm still going to tell him, "Hey, buttwipe, shut up."

Matt, I thought about anagrams too, but haven't seen any. And usually when they've had them in the past they call attention to them (consider how books rate = estabrook or here's a demo of the mode = dome). Nothing so far looks like that. But then again they did sneak the Battle Creek Park acronym in on us a few years ago.

Snake-I like your plan- get everyone thinking it is at como- you gave us all the background to your past exploits of medallion hunting. Everyone will figure you are right and head out there. Meanwhile, you are digging by yourself over at Highland. You can't hoodwink me man.

They did warn to not get to close to the action. That could easily be referring to the Winter Carnival events. I do agree though that it would seem a bit odd to concentrate all those people in one place when they have a whole city to work with.

Darryl Zero - 01:54am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4933 of 22134)

Hey Snake, it's got to be either Highland or Como, right? Well, I don't think he is going to say where it is until after the weekend. I think he is trying to keep people thinking Como because it helps the Revenue, ya know. But think of this guys... 1994 - Highland - 5 + 4= 9. Therefore, 1999 - Highland. 9 + 9=18 (9, 5, 4) What do ya think? Also is Highlander really a sym. for Iconoclast? Or was that BS. Well, happy hunting.

Hah, yep, I'm a fairy. Actually, wait, no, I'm not. Retard.

I really don't think that revenues surge a whole lot over this medallion hunt. The hunt is funded by the buttons, and etc. It's also like, a quarter a newspaper, and you can get the clues free online. The complexity of the clues has nothing to do with money making.

Rushmore: All the years I have been searching the first couple of clues have to tie into telling you it's in a park and in St. Paul becuz it is worth alot of money this year they are (I think) trying to throw us off. Everyone has really good ideas but I really think that it's going to go on forever. Until the 12th clue which ends on Feb. 4th. Maybe thats the 4

Yep too many drugs Snake. Shoulda held back in the 80's. No I didn't go out tonight, trying to see new angles, and relook all the clues. With all the snow out there I'm not worried of it being found before I get out there tomorrow nite, because USUALLY if you are paying attention you know by the sixth clue, like last year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darryl Zero - 02:03am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4946 of 22134)

To save everyone some time and thinking I'm insane for going against the Highland theory. REASON--If it is in a park with a golf course the golf course is never mentioned until at least clues #4 or #5. To mention it in the first clue and have it be in a park with a GC that is about the same as saying "as well in the new" means Newell. Too easy of a clue. Just my two cents.

Beer Me! - 02:23am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4968 of 22134)

remember you can stand back and be able to see everyting from a distance. The golf course can be seen from standing onthe skyway path that goes from one park to another at highland.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darryl Zero - 02:24am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4969 of 22134)

Good point, but if I don't dig to deep... well, I think it is in St.Paul, right? And he really doesn't want anybody digging around on a golf course, okay? So ummmmmm..... Well, could there be a golf course in the park. No, I would be digging too deep. No, Highland, baby.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian S - 02:28am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4970 of 22134)

I'm just saying that history is that it is very rare to be able to have the park narrowed down by #5. Looking back at past discussions here. Last night people were willing to be the farm that it was Newell. Clue #1 had lots of Phalen fans. What happened there. We still have a couple of clues for them to surprise us all. Like everybody else if my hunch is right i'll get the jump on it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ahhhh.... wasn't that Mario Comou clue like the fourth clue a couple of years ago? If it is a big park perse... he will give it to ya. He could say it is at Como on the first clue and then go back to the non-helping ones and still no one would find the thing until he said basically where it is. Highland is a big park, go look for it and you will know what I mean.

Golden Boy - 03:04am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#4988 of 22134)

Treasureman -

CLUE #1 - "Fairway" & "Scene" = Fair-VIEW. Won't get "caught" = baseball reference - Midway or ballfield at NP.

CLUE #2 - Say's stay away from COMO and sliding hills - sliding hill comes into play in Clue #4

CLUE #3 - "Score" reference to sports = NP has baseball, V-Ball, Tennis, Basketball

9-5-4 + comes together with Clue #4.

"shout" = reference to cheering fans at midway

CLUE #4 - "Studying the Past" = 150 year anniversary of the PP, founded in 1849. In 1849, gues who was President - Zach TAYLOR - Taylor St - runs into Newell.

"as WELL as the NEW" - a clear reference to Newell

As far as the 9-5 and somewhere a 4 thing. On the corner of Fair-VIEW and Taylor, which is exactly opposite (not near) the sliding hill, is a house with the address 895 “adorning the front door” - that’s why this KS95 thing doesn’t work. Now I know where the "4" is - can't give that one away - but it's real tough to see it in the dark, and you can only see it from a certain angle.

Unfortunately - MOST people on-line here haven't yet been to the parks - I've been to NP and HP - I like NP much better, because of what you see. I haven't figured out #5 yet - but I'm not convinced #5 means HP.

"You just gotta get out there and DIG"

If you can explain 9-5-4, or some combination adorning a door - I'll be there tomorrow. I think that is a key clue as to the vicinity of the medallion. Even more key is how they say - "and somewhere a four" - and I've seen the four baby - they other very FEW people who have seen it at NP - well all they can say is "WOW Man, that is COOL".

I'm telling ya 9-5-----4 is KEY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your park isn't solid on the 9-5----4 thing. You'll be diggin in vain. Who else on here has been to NP?? Oh and actually DUG - since -ya know - you actually have to DIG, and then DIG some more - (DIGGING STIMULATES YOUR BRAIN CELLS - I need all the help I can get!)
