Treasureman I grew up on the E-Side near Prosperity, used to run around Phalen all the time. So if I were to go to Phalen tomorrow - where would I start??

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

Treasureman - 03:24am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5002 of 22134)

I have the treasure in my sights!

whats the deal with the stone arches or wall??

Well close but not too close to the gc....for starters :-)

If you're using the Rand-McNally map and you look at an overview of Highway 94 and Highway 5, Highland is wedged in there. Also, you've got Precinct 4, or if you don't like that, you've got a 9-hole and then add 9, 4 and 5 together, and across the street you've got an 18 hole. Lots of possibilities.

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

Treasureman - 03:26am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5005 of 22134)

I have the treasure in my sights!

Go and spend about 4hrs just walking around....take notes...draw maps.....and then dig later..........I have 4 areas that it could be.....i just need about 3 more clues......or should i say "hints"

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

Golden Boy - 03:29am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5006 of 22134)

Myself, Birdie, Duckwood, and a few select others were digging at the "4" at NP- that area isn't dug up yet - still alot of work to do.

Allie - 9-5---4, numbers (or some partial combination) MUST "adorn a door". Not Streets. You need to be dead sure about 9-5-4.

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

Treasureman - 03:29am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5007 of 22134)

I have the treasure in my sights!

People IT A PHALEN!!!!! Trust me......the paper dosnt want any chance of sombody finding it in the first few days....this thing is gonna be at a park nobody has been to much or thinks its there untill they dig the heck out of all other possibilities......its AT PHALEN!!!! Just rember in a few days youll rembemer where you heard it from!

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

Treasureman - 03:31am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5009 of 22134)

I have the treasure in my sights!

My 9-5----4 "adorns the front door!"

What is that deal with a stone arch or stone wall that was discussed eariler?

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

Golden Boy - 03:33am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5010 of 22134)

Treasureman - hey I'm open minded. If you say the 9-5-4 thing is associated with adorning a door and you see it clear - hell I'll head over to Phalen before work tomorrow - er - I mean today.

9 - 5 ----- 4 is Key to narrowing down one area though - not three - it's a vicinity clue, not a "which park is it located at" clue.

What part of the E-Side you from?

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

a75wingman - 03:34am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5011 of 22134)

stone walls, archway, an entrance.

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

Golden Boy - 03:34am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5012 of 22134)

Ignore the stone thing at NP - that's not it.

I seriously think you should spend at least 50% of your efforts at phalen......rembember that if you keep going from park to park when they start giving the obvious clues you wont know a single park and everythin arround in it! I know phalen like the back of my hand....Its at phalen and it will be found Saterday night after 12:00am!

Golden Boy - 03:46am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5019 of 22134)

Dave - you need to go to NP and find the "4" - it's pretty clever of the PP I must admit. Once you see that, and line it up with the 9 & 5, and the other clues, you will know that you are within 50 yards of the medallion.

Treasureman - you peaked my curiousity - I've been begging people to tell me they solved the 9-5----4 thing along with the "adorn the door", you're the first one to actually say you have it somewher other than NP.

9-5--------4 IS THE KEY !!!

I'm goin to bed, when I wake up I'll swing by Phalen. But I'll keep my shovel in the trunk till I see the 9-5------4.

G-nite y'all.

"If you're yearning for something worth learning You might be very near your goal"

There are three schools across the street from HP...HP Elementary, Junior High and Senior High. NP is close to Hamline University.

I was diggin' at NP last night. I think it's hidden at NP in something from KS95. Be an Iconoclast...out with the old and in with the NEWell.

HP is my second choice but I can't tie it to the fourth clue.

Interesting theory on BC. What about the iconoclast part? Or was a $45 word thrown in to divert attention?

This is 'B' as in B, 'S' as in S...I can't get this posted!

B.J. Mack - 11:20am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5042 of 22134)

I swear I at least was certain what park it was in by Clue #5 last year! This is a tough one. Newell appears to have the 9, 5, 4 down. Any theories on this at Highland? I've got a friend who's still stuck at Merriam Park...of course, it does have two colleges (and a golf course) nearby.

well, the iconoclast is someone who attacks settled beliefs, so mabey what there saying is we should not settle on something, we should go for the underdog, and my dad thinks the medallion is hidden in something religous. also, i don't know if there is anything that refers to a hockey rink but there is an ice rink at B.C

Well, here's something to make you think a little. Why does the "yearn to learn" need to be a school building? As far as I'm concerned, the most logical connection would be University Avenue. Another option I think is still downtown. I like Jesse being the iconoclast, and there a few libraries downtown.

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

jimt - 11:30am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5051 of 22134)

Why Newell? 9-4-5 doesn't fit that park.

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

Socrates95 - 11:31am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5052 of 22134)

O.K., I buy the iconoclast theory, but would the PP PC police allow the medallion to buried in a religous item?

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

Findor - 11:36am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5053 of 22134)

Yes I agree with the downtown theory.. what about some of the small parks.. say Mears.. not Rice too much action there....the Capital is consider a park also..... lots of things would make you believe it is downtown.... learning ( libraries , Historical Society , etc ) It is easy to match the 945.. this is what the clue is attached too...nothing more and nothing less.. this is the clue to what the medallion is hide in....ect... iconoclast = Jesse the body duh .....anyone agree with the downtown theory

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

B.J. Mack - 11:37am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5054 of 22134)

Favorites to date:

1) Highland 2) Newell 3) Phalen

Could also be at Battle Creek or Merriam.

I'll be out there tonight!

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

The Irish - 11:41am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5055 of 22134)

I believe it is the capitol mall around the Cathedral and the New History museum. That is something old and something new. As for the iconoclast there is a huge statue of a Viking right out side the Four-D building which is on the other side of the Capitol as well. Down on the mall there is an inscription on a war memorial it reads Mathew 5:9. The only problem is the flying down hill, which could refer to cars which you would get hit if too close to the action. The five could also refer to Hwy 5 and then there is Interstate 94 right by there too. Whatdoyathink?

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

Michele Comer - 11:46am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5056 of 22134)

Hide It and They Will Dig

Is the State Capital area really considered a park? I know it has been hidden there before, but I don't think they called it a park, they referred to it as public ground.

Otherwise, I like the Capital Mall.

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

The Irish - 11:50am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5061 of 22134)

Good point.I also thought that the numbers who keep score could refer to the numbering of wars--World War I, II and their respective memorials on the mall as well as the numbering system used to keep track of the names inscribed on those memorials.

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

The Irish - 11:55am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5062 of 22134)

I don't know if the mall is technically a park but the area around the Viking is a park. However, it was pretty lonely out there last night so I wondered if I was way way off track. If not the capitol my money is on Battle Creek. Check out the years it has been there before. My buddy did a funky math equation to get the four but the 9 and 5 are pretty apparent.

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

Treasure Digger - 11:57am Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5063 of 22134)

You need to refer back to previous messages for the reasons why Newell and Highland. I must say these two make more sense than the Capital Mall. After all, it isn't considered a park. It's a group of buildings located by each other -- or something along that definition -- but definitely not a park. Newell - a 9 and a 5 and somewhere a 4 is being referenced as the KS95 radio tower showing 95 but call letters are 94.5. Highland - iconoclasts are "highlanders" therefore Highland Park. If you read previous messages, you can fit both Newell and Highland into the clues. I personally am thinking Highland more than Newell. If, however, Highland is totally out of the picture, then Newell is my second choice.

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

magbru - 12:01pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5064 of 22134)

Michele Comer, did you see the hours posted on the front door of the building at the park?

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

Corkmeister - 12:03pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5065 of 22134)

Maybe we're nuts thinking that it is going to be in a small area (i.e. Newell or Capital Mall). For $10,000 they are going to be expecting a LOT of people out there and they are not going to want to cause the problems of not enough space for all those people and cars. Similar to people digging up Mounds Park in the past, do they really want people digging up the Memorials around the Capital?

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

Ma Ozzy - 12:04pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5066 of 22134)

Wow, first time I have been able to get on here all day!!!!

! I am glad I am not the only one leaning towards Capital Mall right now...

But, after doing this for oh so many years, I still have my doubts... Usually, when the clues seem this vague, I start to lean towards a smaller, neighborhood park....

Treasure Digger - 12:05pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5068 of 22134)

It's been at Newell before and the same parking existed then and hundreds of people found parking then. Forget the Capital - it's not going to be there. There's no sledding there, at least none that I'm aware of. The Capital just doesn't fit the clues.

Hey this is Sharky!

I am so bummed...

I was out diggin' with y'all last year and the year before, and the year before... This year, I'm stuck in New Jersey! Like I mentioned last year, I became a flight attendant and I am out to see the world! (Doing much better at that than trying to figure out this year's clues!) I just logged on for the first time this year (I just got home and just got to the library.) Where is Newell Park? I've never heard of it. I can't believe Clue #5 is out and the park is still not nailed down. I do like the iconoclast clue linking to Jesse. (Way to go, thanks for voting him into office! I do believe he's going to kick some butt!!!) I'm returning home for a visit 4/5 but it'll be too late. I'm so upset and it's worth 10grand!!! They are going to make this hunt unbelievably hard! Ouch! Anyways, I can be found at inasuitcase@hotmail.com if anyone would like to give me personal tidbits on the clues (insider info) since they won't serve me any good or just cheer me up with some Minnesota humor. I'll keep checking back on your progress. Good Luck and let's hope this year is the year for the Water Cooler Crew:)!

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

The Irish - 12:08pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5070 of 22134)

The reason I doubt the mall is the whole golf course thing, but that can just be to throw us off or to eliminate parks with golf courses. I just know it ain't Como, and Newell just seems a little too easy. In addition, the numbers are in reference to something "adorning" and I doubt that the Radio tower adorns the front door to the park whereas a monument or actual door may. I don't think there is a space problem at the mall and a future clue can keep us from digging up or damaging monuments as well as the heavily armed state troopers.

David D. - 12:10pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5071 of 22134)

Inside sources say Merriam is too small of park for a $10,000 prize. Could it be near the historical society? old and new

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

Ma Ozzy - 12:13pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5072 of 22134)

The Irish... I must agree with you, I should hope they would not make the clues so easy as to point to Newell... But then again, I was very disappointed last year on how easy the clues were, and also last time it was at Highland park... I just hope it will be a bit more challenging this year, especially since it is worth so much more money!

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

The Irish - 12:18pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5074 of 22134)

If you run iconoclast through the Thesauras you get: critic, loud critic, anti-establishment. So this whole "destroying religous symbols" is too dictionary and not really the way the word is used anymore. So any ideas for parks basee on "critics"? and who was this Newell guy anyway?

As was said earlier there was the large "Big Slide" when the Winter Carnival started a long time ago right by the Capitol. So even though there is not really sledding now there was, which I know is a weak theory but oh well.

10k - why not put it in a brand new spot - a new park - wow there's an idea - it's 10k - they don't want anyone to find it until 11th-12th clue - the fun and excitment has to last for the carnival week - how much fun would it be if the damn thing was found before the first weekend - not much at all - those guys at PP are laughing at all you guys are your brilliant - 459,954, 4 and a 9 and 5 - dictionary theories and all historic ideas - I laugh because - these clues are way to early to read into as much as everyone is....

mommy knows best - 12:32pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5079 of 22134)

"iconoclast" unscrambled is "locations" meaning the location is in this clue, hence "New Well" or Newell!!! Also I think 9, 5, and 4 are refferences to people on a sports team, 9 players, 5 players, and 4 players get them right and shout!

You guys are all thinking wrong. Look at the parks involved and then isolate the clues to the parks. How has highland been considered such a big choice? How has Newell? Think ABOUT the clues. Do you even know all the parks in st. Paul. There are quite a few, not just the few that have been tossed around in the last few days.

Tango-- I agree! I had a message simular to that but lost it so I couldn't send it!. Any time a "real" word ie: adorn, fairway, scene, learning, and so on is used people read into it until they have nightmares of these images. Most words in a clue are just filling space. Look back at old clues and the explanations for them. They can use 2 paragraphs to say it is by a running trail! Don't try to make every word in a clue fit! Happy Hunting Everyone!!!

I think I found the spot where's its hidden. It fits all the clues without too much stretching, but its too much ground for one person to cover. But since all good theories explain AND predict, my prediction is that future clues will allude to Chatsworth, Kilburn, and/or a retirement home.

Socrates95 - 01:26pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5093 of 22134)

I think it would be just fine to find it myself on the fifth day, but if someone else has to find it then twelve days are good.

I support and promote the theory that with 10K on the line the PP is going to get as much press (sorry for the wording) as possible. The clues won't nail the park for 2 or 3 more days.

Did I find numbers near Kilburn? Oh boy did I. On the street sign for Kilburn the address is listed as 950. The first house past that is 958. So the 950 part is easy to find, but the 4 you have to approximate (somewhere a four). This is by a section of Como far from the golf course, sledding, and all the other action. You can see the tower from Chelsea Heights school from there, and one would have to be a real iconoclast to think they'd put it in Como again so soon.

I'm an early digger...I'll be digging in Highland again. Anything other than a park is a mistake. You have to take the ClueMaster at his word. I think that that's reasonable.

To answer your question scoot, the answer is no, because medallion hunters, like dogs, always mark their territory at the bases of trees.

I went to Newell last night. Found a t-shirt buried, thought maybe, but no such luck. It seems possible that it will be there. I was wondering, are there any rules of bringing say... a couple of dogs out there to try and sniff it out. Maybe a bloodhound or retriever? Are dogs allowed in the parks?

I bring my labrador until it gets very crowded and she gets impatient with the digging. Must be leashed.

I just got information that's as good as a clue....Go back to message "5044." It's written by "Ian." Click on the hyperlink. It'll bring you to another PP message board but it's in Duluth and they've designated a board for the medallion. In case you can't get on here, at least you can get on there. Sign in and bookmark it. It's exactly the same as this board in the way it works, except less traffic, I suppose.

Como fits into the past because it was hidden there two years ago. Someone who studies the past might dismiss Como because of that. But I think they're saying you should break out of that mode of thought and be an iconoclast.

Numbers clues: 9 (9-hole golf course bordering h-land pkway and 9 players on baseball diamond), 5 (7th St) and the 4? Well, somewhere indicates that it's hard to find...Has anyone else noticed the little old schoolhouse on Snelling across from park? It's got a nat'l historic marker (I was studying the past)...it's the Mattocks School, but it's old name was Webster School #4!!

Yes Jorge, this is meant to discuss the clues, though sometimes the conversation gets off track.

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

G-Man - 02:12pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5162 of 22134)

I thought I was on to something last night, until clue #5 came out, couldn't make it fit my underdog park - Desnoyer.

Clue #4 said ". . . willing to be an iconoclast". My hand dictionary defines iconoclast as "image destroyer". "Destroyer" is close to "Desnoyer"

Boardering Desnoyer Park is CromWELL Ave.

Clue #3 said "numbers keep score and adorn the front door . . . A nine and a five and somewhere a four". I went to the park and found ball fields (now flooded with ice rinks). Keeping score in baseball involves numbering the positions, 9=right field, 5=third base, 4=second base. Sure, this could relate to any park's baseball fields. However, when I placed myself "somewhere near 4 (second base), I looked up across the street and above the front door of a nice looking house is the address "549" Cromwell Ave. I dug for a while, but there is plenty of snow to move.

As for Clue #2, "flying downhill. . . popular outdoor attraction . . . chances are nil if you get too close to the action." I think this is merely ruling out Como with the ice slide (free coupons for it on the button coupons) and many other attractions at the "Winter Park - Como Park". Desnoyer is a flat little park.

Clue #1 ". . . in St. Paul . . . golf course is not". Desnoyer is in St. Paul. By Town and Country GC but not attached (about a block away).

I, along with most people it seems, believe today's clue is saying there is a school near by. As for which school, my guess is Chelsea Heights in Como Park though there are many who would disagree with me.

CheRory - 02:17pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5172 of 22134)

Today's Clue: Smart and DISCERNING. which I took to mean that you had to be discerning about which school or which goal (football goalpost, hockey goal, etc.) to look for, meaning there's more than one. At Highland, the HS and Jr High are right together and the elementary school is a block away (except bordering the golf course). Maybe this is guiding us to one corner of the park instead of the other?

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

Wabbit - 02:17pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5173 of 22134)

I am trying to think about "things worth learning." But, I cant think of anything today that would correlate.

I work at Town and Country and thats an interesting point G-Man. I doubt it's eve been at Desnoyer(going away from past) Also I-94 is a block or so away from Cromwell. I can't determine todays clue either. but the only thing that would pull me away from Desnoyer is the fact that it's tiny and there are going to be tons of people searching this year since it's worth $10000.

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

CheRory - 02:26pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5190 of 22135)

Okay...here's an out-there theory. Are public schools considered to be public ground? Consider: Highland Park HS...it's a park, public ground. Hiding it on school grounds would be totally iconoclastic, double irony with Highlander idea. It would be the value in the new AND studying the past (nearby Highland Park 1st medallion site). And not too close to the action of sledding hills, scoreboard, etc. Am I nuts?

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

Allison Wonderland - 02:27pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5191 of 22135)

Iconoclast doesn't spell out locations or a coin lost as someone stated at one point. Iconoclast has two c's in it.

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

Jorge jimenez - 02:27pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5192 of 22135)

I live almost on como lake and i dont see too many clues fittng there. you can't just interpret "away from past" as being in a certain park so many years apart or together. I would say highland is a much better choice than come. Also stay away from the action, and the slide is at como.

Allison Wonderland - 02:34pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5206 of 22135)

I disagree Jorge. I also live near Como and I think all the clues fit the southeast area bordered by Chatsworth near Jessamine. Como Park has a golf course, but that area's not near it. It's not near the sledding or any of the other Winter Carnival action. The 950 block of addresses goes right through it, though you would have to estimate where 954 would be. Anyone who studied past treasure hunts would shy away from Como because it was there the year before last, unless they engaged in iconoclastic thinking. And the tower from Chelsea Heights school is visible from that area. Plus its the kind of open, yet obscure spot they seem to like hiding it in.

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

CheRory - 02:34pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5207 of 22135)

I think that it could very well be in a treasure chest from the 50s...something a little more regal, yet retro

allison- i guess you make a good point. i guess it's too early to tell unless youre really on top of things. I just think the clue about the past is to obvious to mean it can be in a park twice within three years. Especially being that the clue was that early(#4). If it is there i understand because Como is definitely large

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

Allison Wonderland - 02:40pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5215 of 22135)

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

I think the score can either be tied into the fact that Como Park has softball fields, etc. or its a bizarre way of talking about addresses that they keep score of the houses and adorn the front doors.

Allison Wonderland - 02:42pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5221 of 22135)

I think the clues point to Como, though certainly not in an obvious enough way to send everybody flying over there and tearing the place up. I think last time it was fairly obviously Como by the fourth or fifth clue and the park definitely paid the price.

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

CheRory - 02:42pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5222 of 22135)

St. Polly--OR Longfellow Ave., which borders a narrow section of Battle Creek Park in front of Battle Creek Elementary. Near the St. Paul/Maplewood city limits, perhaps the need to be discerning?

Jorge jimenez - 02:55pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5267 of 22135)

I think it could be at a few parks no clue ideas narrow it down for me, however, i dont see newell as a choice. the clue writers are some VERY smart dudes, they did it to trick you, especially since they wouldnt spell out where it was in such an early clue. They usually come close to doing that at around clue #11

Is there any 'official' info on when they hide this thing? The debate raged last year...don't care to see it again. I assume (yes, I know what they say <vbg>)they hide this thing early in the season. But Soucheray would have to give me a 'We Don't Know That'. Don't really care when, need more info on the where.

score could equal music which would equal=ordway value equals the amount of sustain a musical note would entail study= library 9 a 5 and somewhere a 4 = 90 w 4 th st = central library 954= james j . hill james = 5 hill equals 4 letters 9 equals large windows on the library

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

javajoe - 03:47pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5338 of 22135)

as far as the flying down hill part of the one clue is maybe a trick statement....if you nfollow a saint paul map and check out hill st off of irvine park ...it is only a block or so long and points directly at you geussed it.....rice park

VikesMike - 03:48pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5340 of 22135)

Clue #1 - normal disclaimer Clue #2 - do go to close to sliding (maybe stay away from Como) Clue #3 - Scoreboard at Midway, U of M golf course, 9-5-4 would be KSTP 94.5. Clue #4 - Studying (U of M), Iconoclast; word scramble for what medallion is in (perhaps it cools can, can cooler anyone?) or Iconoclast may be Luther as in Luther Seminary. Clue #5 - more about schools, Murray School is nearby, as is U of M. My guess is Newell, Langford, or College Park.

christopher campbell - 03:49pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5342 of 22135)

besides, the paper is smart, they wouldn't hide the medallion downtown, because there wouldn't be enough parking, plus there is too much activity down there

because the park is small and there is too much activity in the area, as well as there isn't enough parking, it has to be in a park not downtown

flying down hill could also mean also holman field as it relates to mounds park,

iconoclast could be that originally there were 16 mounds now 6 where the heck did the other 10 go?

954 could be the elevation of mounds park or could equal an adress crossed with a specific tree count?

'Shame on you, Repoman, and Hawkeye and Martin. And shame on you, Muffin, Ms. Brown and Tia.'

Newell Park looks like it was trampled on and dug up by the entire population of St. Paul.

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

calvinator - 04:03pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5372 of 22135)

Alright here is my theory on como. The studying the past and the yearning for learning has something to do with Oxford street. School in england. The flying downhill has to do with the downhill skiing that is offered at como. I think the score thing has to do with all the fields that they have out there, and the iconoclast is the statue by the observatory.....anyone else with me :)

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

javajoe - 04:03pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5373 of 22135)

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

javajoe - 04:22pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5440 of 22135)

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

Sister Sister - 04:22pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5441 of 22135)

Joe,

Highland has a sledding hill, iconoclast = highlander, 954 could be what I explained earlier...or it could refer to any of the sports activities that are out there.

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

javajoe - 04:23pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5442 of 22135)

how 'bout this 9 a 5 and somewhere a 4 figure these out and youll shout figure= mathe problem 54 divided by 9 = 6 6 = indian burial mounds?

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

calvinator - 04:24pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5443 of 22135)

Joe, in the dictionary I had this is the exact defintion of iconoclast 'one who destroys sacred images.one who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions

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

Dingo Man! - 04:24pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5444 of 22135)

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

Sister Sister - 04:24pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5445 of 22135)

Joe - I don't think iconoclast = dramatist. Besides, do you really think it would be downtown at Mears (isn't that where it is?) And, aren't all the ice sculptures at Rice? I don't think it would be there.

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

Sensei - 04:24pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5446 of 22135)

Sister Sister, why does iconoclast = highlander? Please explain.

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

javajoe - 04:25pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5447 of 22135)

sister i somewhat agree but if you look at the general meaning of iconoclast i think it has more to do with the religous meaning hence, the indian connection or church sites which were torn down?

John Doe number 2 - 04:28pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5459 of 22135)

Hi~just a couple of quick ideas...I'm thinking one of two parks:

Linwood--has the NEW rec. center, but is in the OLD neighborhood, has sports teams which would be KEEPING SCORE, has the hill on St. Clair Avenue (since it is for traffic and not sleds, meets implication to STAY AWAY FROM THE ACTION), rec center presumeably has NUMBERS ON THE FRONT DOOR, also has Linwood School nearby, and now the big giveaway--reverse "nil," and you get "lin," hence "LINWOOD!!!"

or...

Langford--has the St. Anthony elementary school IN THE PARK, is in historic (OLD) neighborhood, "flying downhill...(stay away from the action)" could imply the nearby State Fair giant slide or rollercoaster, I don't know, figure it out yourself!

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

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

Sister Sister - 04:34pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5461 of 22135)

JD #2 - you're linwood theory is good.

But todays clue talks about learning...HP schools are across the street from the park. Also, "goal" is used. There is a HP ice arena in the vicinity, too. ITS GOTTA BE HP!

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

Sensei - 04:35pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5462 of 22135)

Is it just me or is posting on here a real pain in the butt?

Why do I have to effectively re-login in every time (or at all, for that matter)?

Anyway, Linwood sounds like a real possibility. Not sure how the iconoclast fits in, though.

Heeere pucky, pucky, pucky!!!

Wish the server worked better. The board isn't nearly as useful as last year. I'm really surprised to see that there was very little discussion about last night's clue. Did everyone assume is means a school? I don't necessarily think so. It says "yearning for something worth learning", not a "place of learning". What about a museum (has things worth learning)?

The use of the word goal could also refer to the Goal Post at HP's Footbal field. Also if you go to "mapblast.com or Mapquest.com and enter "954 Snelling Ave. St. Paul MN 55116" the "X" falls right on Montreal & Snelling.

I was at Newell last night... Regarding the 9,5, and 4... There is a baseball field (9 players), and a basketball court (5 and sometimes 4 players) within 100 meters... also a sliding hill in between them. There are residental roads of the 900 block of Fairwiew Ave. on either side. Also, the name 'New'ell makes me wonder. Then there is always the road that runs perpindicular.. Taylor. So what feedback can others give to disprove this location?

Bill King - 05:13pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5564 of 22136)

Just a thought. Now I haven't read all of todays messages so I don't know if this has been covered. This site is all messed up! I hope they fix it soon. They only let me get to a certain number then I have to start all over.

Anyway- this probably has no hidden meaning but I was looking through the past clues and went back to in 1995 it was buried at Battle Creek, but on clue 7 it as this---" consider a place to learn as you try to descern--The location of your quarry.-- And if you need guidance on where to trun--just keep your search elementary." That year the medallion was found after clue 6 so would they would they use a clue with words that were close to a past clue?

Also what do you think about it being the 150 anni. and them buring the medallion in the old treasure chest that was originally used?

My gut is still telling me that it's in HP, but we did swing by BC last night and that park is huge!!

Lady C, I have been out at Phalen for the past 3 nights as long as a few other parks. I have gone over much of that area by the ball fields that has to do with the clues.. I am at a loss if it is by the old hospital as to where to look.

I Wanna Do It Again....I Can't Wait Another YEAR!!!

I've got a revelation for you all, this may be stupid to tell people, but hopefully no one will listen. They know there is gonna be alot of us out there this year. They know they have to make this good and hard until later than usual, even if it means fooling us a bit. So if we dont read into the clue too much, I think it is obvious they are trying to tell us NOW with clue 4, that something is different about this years hunt. Either its not in a park it has ever been in or its in a park it was recently in, like Como. I could be way off base here, but one last time I am going to say look at the ANAGRAM thing take the first letter from each paragraph people, and organize them, I'm Tellin Ya There Is Something There! I think this is something worth learning, by being smart and discerning. Here are the letters T A F N S I - It cant be a coincidence that 5 of 6 FIRST letters they give us spell SAINT! How about SAINT F------ (Saint Francis) A certain park looks right over this church! And its just hard enough that it could take us till the 9/10 clue to get this! Listen if you want, Blow me off if you want, But this isn't much of a stretch either! Just wait and if the first letter of tonights clue is a R,A,N,C,I, or S then the odds go up on this little park! Good Luck! But I think there is an anagram there even if that is not it, and don't expect it to say the parks name this year!

Taylor- runs right into Newell 150yrs ago president.

it is always a park in st. paul, and i think the medallion may be at Battle creek Park, there is a school, as well as a sledding hill and a new cross country ski trail, and there used to be old portables but they just remodled and added new classrooms on. Also, there are some icerinks, as well as baseball fields, tennis courts, and basketball courts, i think battle creek is the place, but tonights clue will seal it for me

Well the clues are elusive. Allison Wonderland makes an excellent observation in post 5206. The clues seem to match at Highland and Como. Como has Oxord and Hamline Streets going around it and also the giant slide that the Army is building serves as a pointer. But I gotta admit I'm stumped. It seems most people have valid ideas and it really could be anywhere....gotta dig it...duke

Kathy W - 07:09pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5686 of 22136)

Newell would be the "iconoclast," giving us the answer early in the hunt and then offering up clues that are meaningless for awhile.

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

Alan & Jill - 07:10pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5687 of 22136)

alias "The Woman and I" '98

Recap on NP:

Ittiz a doozie......

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 a public park 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 and it's warning you not to dig up the course. Or it could be Highland as well...Or.. Just maybe it means it's at a park without a golf course which would rule out Phalen, HP, and Keller....

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

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

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

9-5-4 + comes together with Clue #4 also address of house. "shout" = reference to cheering fans at midway.

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. 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.

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.

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.

"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.

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

Clue No. 5:

If you're yearning for something worth learning

You might be very near your goal

So try to be smart and discerning

And your treasure chest could end up full

This ones not getting too much feedback!

I've got some Ideas and the Woman had a doozie but we can't share yet... maybe later.

studying the past===Taylor, or history. value as WELL in the NEW==value at Newell. Popular outdoor attraction= Sain

anyway, as I was saying...

Well, that's the 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!

Brian S - 07:27pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5709 of 22136)

thank you. I still don't think it could be newell either. The "as well as the new" part is too easy for PP and too easy for such an early clue. They would not give away a small park like Newell that early. It would be found already.

Pollygirl,

Everything I just said has been posted previously, some borrowed, some my own.

There's too many friggin messages now to go back and recap so...I did it in one.

The puck was hidden in 1984 at Newell Park – attached to a broken 45 rpm record. I was there for 4 days digging ( they gave away the location in the 4th clue by referencing Jeeves and Hawkeye's friend - Pierce Butler )

The park is about 10 acres (maybe- don't quote me)and could take a while to find it there. So far I've only dug up about 350 sq.ft. this year.

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

Alex R Moy - 07:36pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5722 of 22136)

This is the clue 4 two years ago. As you can see it was plain to most people that it was at Como.

For Wednesday, January 22, 1997 (Clue No. 4): He once led a state with a city most great But he's better known here without you A valuable find could be your fate If you decipher this punning clue

(Mario Cuomo is the leader and without "you" it becomes Como)

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

Brian S - 07:36pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5723 of 22136)

I just heard that people were digging at como today. anyone here support that thought?

This may be a stretch but let me run this one by you guys: I have a book that most of you have probably heard of (St. Paul Parks A Treasure Hunter's Guide 1996) Anyway, on the cover of the book the author chose to put a map of Newell Park. Since new info. is always useful, can you think of any way that this could relate?

christopher campbell - 08:15pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5767 of 22136)

believe they may be numbers on the rec center, but also, there are 9 player to a baseball team, 4 players in tennis doubles, and 5 players in basketball, all of which are at the park, plus, there is feild 4, feild 5 and i don't know where the 9 comes in

I'm sticking to Newell... On Wed. a coulple of us dug up a pretty large area just in front of the front door of the Newell's park building. If you use the theory that the 9 for baseball, 5 for basketball, and 4 for tennis, then it might be on that line (the bb court bb field and t courts make a perfect line).

Rehash Bash! Sunday, February 6 - In the park that the medallion is found. Pot luck picnic! Put the date on your calendar!

Hello!

Just a thought here. I've seen the references to Linwood. Linwood is a rec center...not a park in the same sense of the word. They have never hidden it at a rec center before, but there is always a first time.

Has anyone been down around the Capitol Mall? I've had several people at work tell me that's where they or someone they know, thinks ittiz.

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

Vicki Kasal - 08:30pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5806 of 22136)

Has anyone thought about the small park by oxford pool? For Clue 5, it's near Central High School. Clue 4, the "Blast" of the OLD Wards building and the NEW is build near-by. Clue 3,Score is kept at the Central HS field/track.I'm not sure how to relate the 9, 5, and 4 or clue 2. Just a thought, if anyone wants to check it out!!

About the downtown thing mentioned earlier about the capitol mall: Is there a park near the Minnesota History Center? Both Fifth and Ninth streets intersect at the Hist. Center. A few blocks away is fourth. Also, you can certainly learn at a museumif not at St. Paul Tech. College. Finally, iconoclast can be a reference toward religion. Possibly the cathedral?

Saw that bird. She may see see it too - you need to be at the right spot. 9-5----4 is truly the key to this whole thing. No-one else has figured it out. MedallionGuy - if you know what were talking about, e-mail me (click on "Golden Boy")

Cory J Hitzman - 08:44pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5854 of 22136)

Being that there are two clues about studying and learning, I definitely think it is by two schools, like Highland with its senior and junior, or Battle Creek with its elementary and junior. About the new lighted trails at Battle Creek, I know the hours that they are lit are until nine o'clock. Does it possibly start at fou or five? Also the last time at Battle Creek was '95. Could iconoclast be a reference to "BATTLE"?

Hey guys... We were thinkin that it is at Horton... there is 3 groves of trees one with 4 trees one with 5 trees and one with 9 trees ... approx. 18 feet away from the center of the triangle the groves make is a hockey rink.... this has a score board and other reasons to look in this park.

Funny story....last year the clue came out that IT was in Cherokee....about five guys had been digging for hours at the big chair before the bridge downtown St. Paul. They saw the chair part, but never quite hit on the Chair-o-key. And just down the road were the masses of people.

RW - I've dug the last two days - taking a night off - sending the wife and kids out tomorrow am - bright & early (equal opportunity!!). It is at NP - and when you see the "4" it hits you like a ton of bricks - it's pretty darn clever of the PP - you'll say -WOW MAN, THAT ISSSSS COOL. I'll be back at a it tomorrow - cause I think y'all will waste enough of your time at HP, CP, and other parks.

Birdie / Woodduck - I'm gonna get the clue on-line tonight, probably going to cool my heels and head out at day-break. Historically - the treasuer has usually been found in the daytime, then you can see what you diggin. I know we're in the right spot../ Hope #6 naroows our search area and then hit it hard in the AM. That was fun last night guys. We'll do it again soon I'm sure.

Golden Boy, thanks for the message. We were the ones who dug up the large rectangle in front of the park building yesterday around five p.m. We live 1hr 30min from NP so we cant just swing by these parks. We are simply wondering if you have to be at the corner by the 895 house to see the "4".

Clue 4 To succeed in this deed, look where the weed Meets the seasonal plastic and wood. This clue will help you speed To the appropriate neighborhood. Line two refers to the sleds and skis that are prevalent in the park. The word "speed" indicates how fast sleds can go down a nearby hill.

MMC- the "learning" could be a reference to Hamline University which is nearby NP. The part that I can't figure out is the "treasure chest" (unless it refers to the medallion's container or doesn't mean anything).

MMC - 09:40pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5946 of 22136)

I don;t think Devil's den is like an offical name my home is close and we called it that when we hung out there (I am only 20 so not that long ago) but it is at the bottom of the big dip in the back of the park. it is almost like a big bowl. It is called that because it is way down low and you can't see the road when you are down there..... But I don't think it is @ NP.

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

Brian S - 09:40pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5947 of 22136)

the problem with the learning clue is that almost every park in st paul is near some sort of school.

<shakes 8 ball> -- Sources say, "Highland"

Hmm... There's a lot of silent consensus (people that aren't posting on here, and people who don't use the watercooler at all) telling me that the populace is leaning ever closer to Highland... But I'm still baffled a small bit about he clues not working completely in one area. Maybe if I stopped waking up two hours before it gets dark out, I can take a survey in the light and see what's going on.

Ah well, I don't know. I hope that this night's clue will help a lot about what's gonna be happening.

Today's clue hints at a chest? The first 3 or 4 years of the search back in the 50's it was hidden in a chest... another blast from the past on a big anniversary for the carnival? I haven't seen any other obvious references to what they put the darn thing in this year - not that it matters what it's in, since we look in everything we find anyhow.

think terry valentine had the idea about the highlanders. maybe the tresure chest refurs to hidden treasure. could be back at hidden falls, but i say highland or newell.

Someone was saying last night that this groups of people called the Highlanders ran around destroying religous stuff in England. SO if you want to be an iconoclast, a destroyer, you have to be a highlander nad go to Highland. Pretty far-fetched if you ask me.

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

Toff - 09:45pm Jan 28, 1999 CST (#5967 of 22136)

Is any one thinking it could be at Midway Stadium? This is ran by St. Paul Parks and Recreation. 954, these three digits are in the Stadiums telephone number 644-6659 (Backwards) The address numbers do adorn the front entrance. Learning could be Metro State half a block away or the Fire training School behind the Stadium. Blast could be from the Trains horn by the Stadium.

5 could be highway 5 on highland. and the 9 hole course, and shout 4. but newell has baseball (9players) and basketball (5 players) and outside of the park is tennis (doubles have 4 players,a nd it accounts for the "somewhere")
