anagrams possibly...maybe anagrams of words in previous clues will lend a hint to more recent clues?

this is so frustrating....

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

G-Man - 07:56am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7005 of 22136)

so, Boreas Rex, "Saint f"... is a strong possibility...

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

G-Man - 07:58am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7006 of 22136)

St. Thomas - no F... St. Peter - no F.... St. Paul Ave. - no F... fooey... actually phooey - no F!

eitsaeb - 08:00am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7007 of 22136)

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

ST. Fan? why? because of Midway? maybe a stretch... maybe not...

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

Yahtzee - 08:03am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7009 of 22136)

Could there be a statue of a famous person holding a "tome", book of some sort. That would fit "these clues" in line three?

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

lildebi - 08:04am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7010 of 22136)

there is a rome street somewhere by newell and hp, i dont have my husdon right now, so i can pin piont it, but i know there is one there!!!!

lildebi its there right off snelling splitting the two high schools...

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

Yahtzee - 08:07am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7013 of 22136)

Has anyone given thought to smaller parks (i know newell is small), but i looked through past clues for various parks and it follows a pattern of the bigger the park the earlier they give you the name of the park (more digging area) Como -- 4th clue, Highland -- 5th clue.

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

lildebi - 08:07am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7014 of 22136)

its west of hp right???

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

Annie Campbell - 08:09am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7015 of 22136)

Newell is out of the question.....is HP? I've searched both Wed. and Thurs. nights. It seems as if it might be there...but there is so much ground to cover. Has anyone thought of the disc golf course idea? "Non-traditional..." Disc golf is non-traditional.

Yahtzee - 08:09am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7017 of 22136)

What about the pided piper of hamelin. This could point toward Hamelin which runs along HP or the university which is near Newell.

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

Yahtzee - 08:11am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7018 of 22136)

I was at HP two days ago and the disc-golf area is torn to shreds, especially around the "hole" for four and "tee" for five.

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

eitsaeb - 08:11am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7019 of 22136)

Annie... i broke down the word "DISCerning" and if DISC is removed it is really close to "yearning"&"learning"...

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

disc golf......i thought of that after the first clue (because i'm an avid player).....flying downhill in clue #2 fits this idea, and there is a possibility it's highland. a lot of the clues fit highland.

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

Yahtzee - 08:14am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7023 of 22136)

No hameline is north of university near midway stadium.

My crew thought that too, eitsaeb (about DISCerning)! There is still a lot of ground that is untouched at HP, though. Yeah people have dug out around a lot of the disc golf holes...but other areas go untouched! People will dig out three posts on a sign and not touch the fourth one. Why???

ok heres one that i thought of while pondering the next digging spot @ HP...there are "suppose to be" 4 football goalposts at the top of the park ...but... the fourth one isnt there (where it should be) it may be in that area...?

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

Annie Campbell - 08:28am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7032 of 22136)

What I'm trying to say is that a person will take the time to dig out around the posts of a sign, but they only dig around three of the four posts or something stupid like that.

Tome: One of the books in a work of several volumes (esp. a large or scholarly one).

Also it could be: Part; area; segment.... Could be a smaller section of a larger park.

Boreas - maybe the famous name isn't that of a person?? Just a thought.

"many a tome (large book)", are they referring to many different books or many of the same book?

When I think of large book - I immediately think of the bible. But I don't think that's it. Maybe history books?

Ford is a famous name - what large books could this be found in?

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

lildebi - 08:32am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7039 of 22136)

usually you are really excited when you start on the first sign, then the second you start to lose hope and go on to the third, by the fourth sign (or whatever) you feel so stupid and there have been so many people driving by and laughing that you just quit....

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

Relief from the common cold - the saint paul winter carnival '99

what about MARTIN LUTHER KING recreation center.....he certainly is a famous man and he is in many school books, encyclopedias, etc.

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

Yahtzee - 08:51am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7042 of 22136)

Why not consider a small park? They haven't hidden it in small park in nearly (i think) 8 years. Parks that fit the clues so far could be-- Martin Luther King park, Langford park, Nathan Hale triange, Dayton's Bluff, and yes there is even a Webster.

LOOK!!! it's gotta be a large park! $10,000.00 is gonna get a gazillion amateur treasure hunters out there. the man doesn't want someone finding the medallion early in the hunt, so he's gonna hide it where it will take hundreds of diggers several hours to find it after almost all the clues have been revealed. Our only job right now is to figure out WHAT PARK IT IS IN!!! Come on people! i'm dying here - throw me a bone for pete's sake.

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

Yahtzee - 08:56am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7046 of 22136)

Well i suppose like everyone else this early in the clues (especially when they are this vague) you try to fit almost any park to the clues.

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

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

Yahtzee - 09:01am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7051 of 22136)

It could be the opposite though Boreas. For $10,000 they could hide it in a small park, make the clues ridicously(sp) hard, thinking that if someone does figure it out they deserve the $10,000. It is rare that an ametuer hunter just stumbles upon the medallion because they are out digging in a park that 100's of others are in. I think this year they are "bucking" the system. The true hunters are lulled into the belief that it is in a big park because that is what they are used to.

Sister Sister - 09:02am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7053 of 22136)

Boreas - we were thinking Como a few clues ago and everyone said no. I still think its a possibility. However, I'm still leaning towards HP. It's still a wild goose chase. Last year at this time, people were still divided between Cherokee and Mounds.

eitsaeb - yes - this server is tooooooooo slooooooow!

Yahtzee- that's true, but can they risk it....You know, with the media hype and all, the hunt has to live up to it's name. If they are making the clues ridiculously hard and it's in a small park, later on when they almost have to pinpoint it for us, ther will be a thousand people in fistacuffs over the medallion!!!

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

Gail Schiff - 09:05am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7056 of 22136)

I love the hunt for the Medallion. It has been a family tradition to figure out the clues, put on the boots, grab the shovel and go digging. Until today we believed it to be at Indina Mounds Park. Todays clue has changed our minds. Now we are looking for the statue or the marker of a famous individual. The first clue refers to St. Paul so we ruled out parks that are located in Ramsey County but not in the City of St. Paul.

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

Chris Maki - 09:08am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7057 of 22136)

Has Battle Creek been ruled out yet? They just re-opend the ski jump (flying downhill), there's a school nearby (learning), and the famous name from a tome could be Longfellow, a very nearby street. These clues can be made to fit almost any park, though.

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

lildebi - 09:10am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7058 of 22136)

isnt rome the 900 block???

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

Sister Sister - 09:10am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7059 of 22136)

Chris - you are right. The clues CAN be made to fit almost any park. It's still a wild goose chase. Haven't even gone out and looked anywhere yet - saving my energy!! I'll be the first woman whose 8-1/2 months pregnant to find the medallion!

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

Dave Chanhassen - 09:11am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7060 of 22136)

You guys, are not reading INTO the clues. Think outside the box. I have a 99% guess on where the medallion is, so when and if its found this weekend. I will decipher the clues. Cause otherwise I need to practice what I preach.

My clues to you are - Think History Think Literature Think Fast

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

Yahtzee - 09:12am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7061 of 22136)

Boreas -- Very good point. I do think this is going to go to the final clue and there had better be enough room for half of St.Paul including the media.

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

Sister Sister - 09:12am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7062 of 22136)

Dave - I agree. I think today's clue fits with yesterday's "learning" clue. Therefore the name has to do with a school book - history, literature, whatever.

Literature - Hamline?

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

Yahtzee - 09:16am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7069 of 22136)

Remeber when it was at Harriet Island? One of the clues pointed to the name of the man who designed Harriet Island, but to figure it out you had to know your history of St.Paul. This could be the same. The famous name in a tome might not be a Worldly famous person, but perhaps someone famous to St.Paul.

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

Frank Gangi - 09:16am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7070 of 22136)

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

Dave Chanhassen - 09:17am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7071 of 22136)

I would give "more descriptive" advice, but a friend of mine is going to a particular park you haven't yet mentioned. I don't want to ruin her chances. I have no interest other than the challenge.

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

Sister Sister - 09:18am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7072 of 22136)

Yahtzee - the clue says the name is in many books - so I don't think its that obscure - to be in a book about St. Paul history.

I think they mean icon as something or someone that is important or familiar to many people. The clue states to go AWAY from such a thing. i.e. be willing to become an iconoclast.

I am thinking of the Ham's Mansion that burned down so many years ago. Which rules out Swede Hollow. 1 of my two choices.

Morning, Still haven't come to my 100% pure decison as to the park. My only addition to this chat is that I think it may be in a CD case or similiar. Clue 4's play on words, new-well, and "blast" from the past and clue 5's "DISCerning" lead me to this. A "blast from the past" as in music (maybe) ,but in 1984 the medallion was at Newell park and found taped to a 45 record. Maybe they are refering us to that. Iconoclast in thesarsus lists "critic" , on a shot in the dark PP's music critics are Fleming and Walsh. But only walsh is a street in St. Paul, 2 blocks off of Phalen. So the critic part is out for me. But I think it may be secured to a CD, like in '84 at Newell.

MOTHER - 09:34am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7114 of 22136)

Hello All I Now have found meaning in all of the clues except...Iconoclast. I know what it means and it doesn't go with anything. Since they ussually keep it simple I am to assume that Iconoclast is a word scramble. However I need help cracking it.

iconclast in the dictionary means distruct or destroyer

My first hunt ;)

Okay a thought on the sledding aspect of things...I (and most everyone) has been working on a park with sledding, with the medallion away from the "action"...but what do folks think about the clue meaning actually a park with no sledding at all? (Along with no golf course)...any merit there?

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

MOTHER - 09:39am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7125 of 22136)

I have seen many meanings of iconoclast, but most definine..aperson who desrtroys religios icons. and the clue tells us to be one.

Brenda Weber - 09:39am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7126 of 22136)

Gail Schiff - 09:49am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7155 of 22136)

Hi folks, I am going to try this again. I want to get in on the clue discussion. As I am clueless. I believed it to be in Indian Mound Park near a historical marker. There are several, Indian Mound Park runs right into Battle Creek Park. It does not have a rec center like the city playgrounds, however it has all the other amenities like play equipment, picnic shelters, hills to slid on. The history of the Hopewell Indians is barried in the mounds. Some of the mounds are bigger than others and so they are easy to see. Some are small and you have to look for them. (Just a note, the mounds are visiable and are fenced off, don't mess with them. Just know their reference and history.) Anyway like it is with each new clue. I'll start over again. I do believe it is in the City of St.Paul and not in a park that is located in Ramsey County but outside of St. Paul.

The Ham's mansion burned down in the 1950's I believe. It had a view of the Brewery - Now owned by Stroh's. It was in Swede's Hollow - Which has a Wicked evil Sliding hill that would take you straight into a creek.

I live near Swede Hollow and bike through there constantly during the summer. I was thinking it in the beginning, but just can't fit it to the clues. The clue says a nine and five and somewhere a four. I think this means the 9 and 5 are easily visible and you have to look for or interpret the four.

I agree with Yantzee I believe the numbers are referring to an address and the 9 and 5 are visiable, you need to look for the four. It could be 495,549, 954 any combination. I don't believe it referrs to anythink else other than you use the numbers to keep score.

YOU ARE ALL SO LUCKY TO BE HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

am gonna tell you what park the medallion is in, and give you reasons why it is there!

STATE CAPITOL MALL-

clue 1- st. paul public ground, a park, NO GOLF COURSE ( if you go to a park where there is a golf course you are wasting your time)

clue 2- refers to activities at COMO, but if you look there your chances of winning are nil (no chance).

clue 3- somehow must be related to the surrounding buildings?

clue 4- studying the past : MN HISTORICAL SOCIETY(need I say more). there are also several war memorials which may also refer to studying the past. value as well in the new + iconoclast = JESSE VENTURA.

clue 5- refers to all the activity that takes place at the capitol.

clue 6- man of fame found in many tomes( school books, encyclopedias, etc.) there are memorials to COLUMBUS, LIEL ERICKSON, CHARLES LINDBERG, and other state and national leaders all over the place - any one of which this clue refers to.

Let me know what y'all think of my theory......

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

Da Master - 10:06am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7211 of 22136)

I've spent most of my time at Como and Highland but there have been hints of BC. Does anyone know if there are signs that say no golfing and if the hours posted on the rec center door say 9 - 5 and 9 -4 at Battle Creek. If they do then Battle Creek also fits the clues.

Dave Chanhassen - 10:15am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7224 of 22136)

Clue 1 - suggests (with Clue 3) that it is near a golf course.

Clue 2 - suggests A Large Hill - not necessarily for sliding - but to stay away from such areas.

Clue 3 - suggests Numbered landmarks near by - And a place of much excitement

Clue 4 - Suggests a place with a lot of History that is connected with the now ( could be an abstract connection) A blase and iconoclast suggest a place that was moved or destroyed)

Clue 5 - Suggests a place of education or near such a place

Clue 6 - Suggests a place connected to fame as well as a literary figure there is also a hint of a "game".

My thoughts only of course

Rex,

Just got done with #7210. I dont't believe that the PP would send the largest hunting parting in the history of the Winter Carnival to the State Cap. Plus, these clues are made up far in advace to the winter season, and since Jessie was elected in November, I find it hard to be at the Cap.

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

Boreas Rex - The Capital Mall has been in the top few parks on my list... And one me and my shoveling partner just drove by and studied the surroundings... I like the Historical Aspect, with the New Historical Society Building very visable.. Also the Vo-Tech for learning... We were not, however, able to make the 9-5-4 clue fit very easily....

I think the medallion is hidden at Battle Creek Park, it is a large park and able to hold all the crowds, and the last time the medallion was hidden there was 4 years ago in 95. Thats where the 9, 5 and sometimes a 4 comes in.

Hello Ambassador, How RU my Boyyyy? Lots of people noodling on wheels last night. If the puck is in a big park they should have given it away by now. If it is in a small park we should know by the big thaw. Anyone have an estimate of how many more searchers there are this year as compared to previous years? I imagine that MOM put it somewhere to minimize damage (i.e. a parking lot).

I agree! The NewAll clue was to blatent and soon. They will let us narrow to a handful, if not the park, by the end of the weekend. I have a feeling it will be a huge park, with seven clues pinpointing the the mendalion in the park.

Ma Ozzy - 11:39am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7283 of 22136)

I agree with Rojo here... Usually, if it is in a bigger park, we know by now... 1997 - Como Park we knew by the 4th clue... 1995 - Battle Creek - we knew by the 5th clue... 1994 - Highland Park - we knew by the 5th clue... (although I should hope they would make it a bit harder this year with all the $$ involved!!!) Right now, by gut keeps telling me a smaller, less well-known park....

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

christopher campbell - 11:49am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7295 of 22136)

I do think the golf course clue refered to NO golf course, and also, at B.C. on the backstops, there are no golfing signs

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

Fever has begun - 11:50am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7296 of 22136)

CC, you're referring to BC?

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

Fever has begun - 11:52am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7297 of 22136)

CC, are you talking about the big sliding hill behind the elementary school?

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

christopher campbell - 11:52am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7298 of 22136)

Yes, Also everyone, i really don't think they would put it in a small park because when the tell us what park it's at, it's going to be nuts, and they will need a big park to accomadate all the hunters

The top of that hill is exactly where it was found las time it was there. It is definately big enough to accomodate a lot of hunters. Ruth, referring to Babe Ruth. Adorning the front door, any ideas there?

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

xcskier - 11:57am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7300 of 22136)

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

christopher campbell - 11:58am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7301 of 22136)

I think the Ruth is refering to babe and he is the man of fame, but i don't think it's on top of the hill because one of the clues says don't get to colse to the action

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

doc sven - 11:59am Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7302 of 22136)

the wizard of cheese<insert cheese quote at end of post>

midway stadium is visible from newell ruth could refer to baseball and saint could be st paul saints

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

christopher campbell - 12:00pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7303 of 22136)

iconoclast, well, it could refer to James j. Hill, the railroad tycoon, he was an iconoclast, and on the opposite side of the park, are located the railroad tracks

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

St.Polly Girl - 12:01pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7304 of 22136)

Chris It might mean though you are in the right area. Don't think too specifically. A lesson learned from reading well+new = Newell

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

christopher campbell - 12:01pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7305 of 22136)

But the wouldn't put it at Newell, it is too small, and too early in the "game", plus, there is so much money on the line, they wouldn't put it at a small park, and it needs to be large to accomodate all the crazy hunters

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

christopher campbell - 12:02pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7306 of 22136)

yes, but Polly, where else could it be in that area?, with all those things?

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

St.Polly Girl - 12:04pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7307 of 22136)

I agree but tell that to the people who have dug it up .

Newell fit too many clues..

DOROTHY - 12:04pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7308 of 22136)

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

christopher campbell - 12:05pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7309 of 22136)

Hi- I never have shared, but...I think that a small park that has not been mentioned works in a real interesting way- but you will have to look up stuff in an encyclopedia- KEllogg is crucial and you need to know the correct Kellogg- they are indeed playing a game with 2 very famous historical people with the last name Kellogg- it is NOT Battle Creek- which is connected to one of the Kelloggs. (cereal- Battle Creek, Michigan) 2 real famous Kelloggs and one linked to Minnesota of historical international fame for a huge famous treaty he wrote which is in every American History book and encyclopedia with his name on it! Iconclaust fits in too!-which impacts many clues. Also this park has a historical Library in sight for learning on Kellogg and streets 4 and 5 on each side which equal nine and planes fly overhead heading downtown and a new bridge named after a historical warrior (Wabasha) is nearby, and the last bridge had been built a century ago (1900) and it had been a 9 span bridge and I believe it was BLASTED down. Also, it is the 4th time this bridge has been built. I am a librarian, so I probably am getting too deep, but knowing the correct (Minnesota) KEllogg is important! I think they are putting it in this small very historical park and won't be very specific about it being there to the end to have us digging up all these large parks that kinda fit. I think there are statutes and monuments there also of historical importance to St. PAul as well that may fit, I have to go check the scene out.. Well, that is all I have to say... I may be totally wrong and realize this when the next clue issues forth. ( The capitol Mall kinda fits too and the MN History center has Kellogg street run past it which you can see form the Capitol Mall- alot fits the Capitol MAll too) I am certain they want you away from a big park with the golf and sliding and sports....Good Luck, and has anyone else thought of Kellogg PArk?

coldtoes2 - 12:13pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7312 of 22136)

chris we talked about this last noc no real response now today its a new bunch of people well when are you going out?

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

christopher campbell - 12:14pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7313 of 22136)

But again, no one seems to understand, there are going to thousands of people trying to find this thing on the last night, they will not put it in a small park because it can't accomodate the people and it will get literally destroyed

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

christopher campbell - 12:16pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7314 of 22136)

Probably around 3 for an hour or 2 and then again tonight after the 7th clue, about midnight

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

christopher campbell - 12:21pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7315 of 22136)

Anyone else have anything to add about the Battle Creek theory?

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

David D. - 12:22pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7316 of 22136)

A close personal friend of mine, Wendy B., suggested that the "9" mentioned could refer to the old one room school house at highland. It used to be named "Webster Magnet School #9". This also ties in with the clue about learning. Plus, old and new could mean the Highland schools.

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

coldtoes2 - 12:22pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7317 of 22136)

If it is at B.C., it might be near the hockey rink (goal in one of the clues, numbers keep score, away from the sliding hill, new lights...they will be building a new community center there in the next couple of years which will offer classes to the community...

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

If you go the department of parks and recreation, youi can get a sheet listing all the parks or you can buy a map with all of them for $2.00

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

klaver2 - 12:48pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7331 of 22136)

There is a guy that sells the maps for about $8 at the parks.

I don't know what images. The term might just be referring to being noncomforming or rebellious. Or, it might have something to do with a religious statue or church.

the school house outside of HP was

NOT called Webster Magnet#9, it was called Mattocks School House, and still is (read the plaque)

Webster Magnet is at 707 Holly ave

I used to go there too.

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

Selma and PattyB - 01:11pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7351 of 22136)

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

Selma and PattyB - 01:13pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7354 of 22136)

I'M STILL INSISTENT THAT IT IS AT B.C.

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

ChiefSmoke - 01:14pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7358 of 22136)

I think that line of logic is

somewhat a stretch.

The Pioneer Press would not use something

like that as a clue becasue it is very

subjective, and also controversial.

good thinking though...

I am leaning toward Highland or Como,

but the clues this year are harder than ever.

I think it might be somewhere that it has NEVER

been hid before, and they are trying to get us to

look EVERYWHERE else before they drop the bomb

on us

Snelling could be a man of fame, many a tome??? there is a basebll field at the corner of edgecumbe road and snelling near an MTC bus shelter and a big open area that extends all the way down edgecumbe by the golf course, but at leas an acre of land is out in the open away from the 'action'

Well stonecold, you might as well tell us what you think, because you are not out looking for it, and chances are these 20 "hardcore" hunters will find it if your

right...let us in

Am I sure about what? Farting? yeah, pretty sure...

ChiefSmoke - 01:32pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7405 of 22138)

I think the first clue POINTS us to a golf course, which is why they are warning us...not excluding G. courses.

everybody has given up on Newell though..wonder why, lots of clues fit there...but lots of people that were hunting there only went there becasue they were reading

this messages and went

There is a park called Baker by my house, which fits a lot of the clues, and I know of a 9 5 4 combo near there...but i can't say much more before i go check it out.

lildebi - 01:32pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7406 of 22138)

If you have this idea and are NOT willing to share it, all one has to do is check the WC list of the past hidding places and figure the park which has one listing for the

medallion..

chiefsmoke...he is referring to Mounds Park but I don't see how 9,4 and 5 fits this park..who else thinks it's MOUNDS PARK

Sensei - 01:35pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7419 of 22138)

ChiefSmoke, the first clue is intended to discourage you from digging (and wrecking) golf courses. They give you that just about every year.

ChiefSmoke - 01:37pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7420 of 22138)

Baker IS a public park, and NO it is not in WSP, it is on the West Side of Saint Paul. Cherokee school is on the same lot as it...but it is a public park/rec center.

Jerod Mitchell - 01:37pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7421 of 22138)

everbody: Stone cold will never tell us anything because he wants us to waste our precious time in this message board while his "20 Hardcore Hunters" look around

in a park that he wont release to the public. Hence the name Stone Cold.

Stone Cold: Dont think im on your side!

lildebi - 01:37pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7422 of 22138)

METS, get the hudson out and look at the parks newell and hp, there is the northern pacific tracks and the yards there.

The Capitol Mall is a government land grant for the memorial to veterans, voulenteers, and those who lost their lives in the line of duty. It is a moselieum, NOT a

park.

but isnt baker a school??? we looked there last year--OOPS-- and we were told that it was not a public park.

Mets - 01:38pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7427 of 22138)

Whoever told you that is wrong...I am a student teacher at Cherokee Heights elementary school, Baker Rec Center and Cherokee Heights are not the same. Sorry

to disappoint ya, but you don't have to look there. just a hunch.

Newps in Montana - 01:43pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7441 of 22138)

I thoroughly enjoy reading the clues. I am no where near St. Paul, but having been born and raised there it is fun to try to figure out. Glad to see the weather is

cooperating with the festivities. I am in Montana and it is 47 degrees and sunny. Good Luck treasure hunting!

-4 different streets either bordering or running into it that fit the clues Taylor,Pierce Butler, Fairview

-954 number dealio fizzits right in; been there and saw the 4 too real tricky! address and ks95 tower 94.5fm

Why are you guys buying the fact that Stone Cold knows where it is. If he was certain, he'd be out there looking.

He wants to sound smart, but he's not willing to put it on the line and look foolish when tomorrow's clue proves him wrong.

these ideas have been kind of tossed around a lot...any ones about a tome..."one volume of a book of many volumes" i.e. the encyclopedia or a famous person?

bring the treasure home? these clues are extremely obscure...the next one had BETTER be more helpful, because nobody will have a clue until the last one comes

out pinpointing it, and they are running out of time! cclue 7 comes out tonight and it will help kick off WC wekend wioth a good ass clue to get the masses out

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

Stalion here, Hey BART.

Here's an interesting link for hte 549 clue to BC, just to pass on since you'all were asking about it. The medallion was found there in '95, which was 4 years ago. It's

a strech, but it makes sense.

ChiefSmoke - 02:17pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7524 of 22138)

im still thinking the 9,5,and 4 are ALL objects... especially since the used the word "somewhere" and not "sometime".... and i still think 4 + "shout" = "fore and

golfing"

ChiefSmoke - 02:20pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7532 of 22138)

Yep...but usually they narrow down a park, and most of the time at least a couple of the things CAN be taken at face value w/o reading into them too much...a

fundamental error a lot of people make. NP still looks good.

ChiefSmoke - 02:23pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7541 of 22138)

in clue 5 it says ' your treasure chest could end up full...', i am sure that the medallion is in a chest like the ones they hid back before 1957.

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

I agree that "four" and "shout" lead to a park with a golf course. but I also think that "shout" could lead to BC, as in battle cry

35e and get off at hwy 13; go east on 13 for less than a mile and make a right down the hill by the pool and yacht club. Why Lilydale?

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

It COULD be in a treasure chest, but I'm still certian it's hidden in a "Predator" movie case. And remember where it was you heard that!

Ashlee - 02:28pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7560 of 22138)

I didn't hear that before, why the Predator? Jesse?

phonebook

I always thought a tome was any large book, couple this with iconoclast and you could use some biblical references.

ChiefSmoke - 02:32pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7571 of 22138)

Lilydale is technically its own city; pop like 120 or something!

ChiefSmoke - 02:34pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7575 of 22138)

Tome is like a single volume of a set of books of many volumes; this one is baffling. How many predator movies were there???

Stone Cold - 02:35pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7576 of 22138)

ash, maybe ill see you, good luck hunting! hope you find it if i dont so you can pay for school.

parks... i must have heard cases for at least 10 different parks last night...

This is not the love connection!!!! We have enough trouble getting through without adding "boy meets girl" to this site. Exchange e-mail addresses in clue form. If

Stone Cold gets it right, he wins a date with the "reddie"!

It doesn't matter how many predator moview there are, since "the body" was only in the first one. "I aint got time to bleed" (no time for cold feet) - "action" "blast"

"iconoclast" etc.

O.K I'LL SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU ALL.

clue #4 says to study the past.

954= 1995 4 years ago @ battle creek.

clue #5 says to be diserning and yearn for learning.

** read clue #7 from 1995!!

clue #2 says to stay away from sliding hill at BC.

CLUE #6 a tome = a book or dictionary = (webster) magnet school. That's enuff info for today class!

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

Seasoned Vet- Are you speaking of Indian Mounds park? Were you also one of the thousands of people who dug THAT park out last year? As I recall, it was

actually hidden in ChairOkey

Ashlee - 02:50pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7624 of 22138)

Nope just a school, the address doesn't fit either, it's 1015 south Snelling... Right now I'm leaning towards phalen, HOWEVER the part about "a nine a five, and

SOMEWHERE a four" doesn' necessarily suggest that the 4 is along with the other two... <shrug>

I have kind of a stretch on a clue here, but let me you what you think. Discern means insight and judgement. Could clue 5 be telling us that there is something worth

learning in sight?

Goddess Winter - 02:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7627 of 22138)

St.Polly Girl - 02:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7629 of 22138)

ChiefSmoke why is the school house idea so far out of your realm of thinking?

What is the precint # of the police station on Montreal?

Remember clue #1 Being "caught" at the wrong "scene" if you were on the golf corse?

distance... you dont know exactly where it's from but it definitely came from SOMEWHERE

Lots of phony clues Goddess, keep away the competition

The Rock - 02:55pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7634 of 22138)

ok in clue 4 it mentios "but theres VALUE as WELL as IN the NEW. The Value is the medallion/location. and it IN NEWELL park. Todays clue a tome is a book

but it is also one of those pitchforks that a devil has. Devil can also go for as an iconoclast. And in Newell park there is a secret area there hidden by brush and pine

trees. That area is called Devil's Den. From there if i recall yeterday you can see the ks95 radio tower. There radio station # is 94.5. It can't get any simpler than that

so im going there to find it tonight. email me and tell me what you think.

oh, st polly, the precinct is like 4 or something i think i heard it before.

why don't you enlighten me on YOUR connection to the school house...because what i heard was somebody told me that it used to be called Webster Magnet

School #9...which is a false misleading statement because it was never called that, it was mattocks school house if you read the plaque...and webster magnet is at

707 holly ave in st paul near selby/dale...i used to go there too.

THE WRONG PLACE!" Best of luck !

ideas are circulating in your heads... and why?

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

I'd be one of those getting paid to surf the Cooler. Work gets pretty slow, and I don't go diggin until at least clue # 8 or 9. I do go look at each park though.

And on Newell- the clues sure fit in all right, JUST WAY TOO EASY!!!! They just don't make it that easy so soon. What would be the point? No, use your

imagination and see if you can get meaning from the clues other than what seems obvious

Ashlee - 03:09pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7672 of 22138)

going to believe it unless it is actualy posted or announced

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

Does anyone know a good site that lists all the clues and locations from previoius years?

Goddess- I'm pretty stuck on Battle Creek, I'll list a few reasons, though I've been through this a hundred times it seems. 1- BC is boxed in by hwy 5, 94 and 494

2- "Shout" -Battle Cry 3- Medalion there in 95, which is 4 years ago- and it would be somewhat within the logic of breaking a tradition to hide it there again so

soon. 4- popular outdoor attraction= mountian bike trails and XCountry skiing trails, also which are DOWN hill 5-"chances are nil" well, nil=0, which is the shape of

a hockey rink, which is at BC 6- There's a school right there as well 7- 94 is also known as HUDSON Rd just north of BC 8- Ruth street, as in (Babe, who

"blasted" home runs) goes right by that particular part of the park, 9- As does Longfellow St (Longfellow and Ruth are both names which could be in a Tome)

And the "yearning for learning"?

Drive up Snelling and you got St. Thomas, Hamline, McCallister and concordia colleges in the same area!

Jason Dreyer - 03:37pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7723 of 22138)

Step, I am looking at a map.. where is that rec center you mentioned?

Jason--Find Newell....then look SouthEast and it's called "Hancock Rec Center"

mommy knows best - 03:39pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7726 of 22138)

I printed the clues for the past ten years from the home page for PP, but that was last year. I think you can do it after it's been found!

Jason Dreyer - 03:40pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7727 of 22138)

Step, I just see Hamline Park.. or is that too far?

Jason---Hancock is closer to Newell than Hamline Park....

Look to the west a little bit and then move your finger up the map...it should be there!

MushieW - 03:44pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7737 of 22138)

Do most of you think the park HAS a golf course or does NOT have a golf course? (I know they say not to dig in it)

The Rock - 03:44pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7738 of 22138)

ok the only other place besides Newell is HP. It the aniversary of the carnival and it was at Highland where it was burried the first year of the carnival!! i would also

like to metion in clue 5 i think it was in the word discerning spells disc and that's is what you use to play frisbie golf. Youd almost think that for the largest sum of

money ever given for a medallion it would be in the biggest park in st.paul.

Goddess Winter - 03:45pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7739 of 22138)

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

GW-Sorry, that's hwy 52, not 5. And the iconoclast comes in as someonw who breaks tradition and searches in a park where the medalion has recently been

hidden, ie: Como-2years ago, or BC-4years ago

Jason Dreyer - 03:45pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7743 of 22138)

The Rock - 03:49pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7749 of 22138)

Well i can't decide its either Newell or highland. Hmmmmmmm. Im guessing tonights clue will be big. But as i recall for how easy it was last year when they said

chair o key, and when i went there nobody was there for like 3 days in a row. so if they give a chair o key clue like that then why couldnt it be "but theres a VALUE

as WELL as IN the NEW. Coincidence? I highly doubt it!!!

Sister Sister - 03:49pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7750 of 22138)

Isn't an iconoclast one who fights against good or spiritual things. But would fight mean "Battle" look back to the clues from 95 and one of the clues stated that or

somthing similiar.

Hmm, now where could that be...

Where in Merriam were you?

The Rock - 03:56pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7768 of 22138)

the reason why i exclude it is because all the clues have to be exactly on the botton and not far fetched like the iconoclast. There is a large place in Newell Park that

is very very hard to see but easy to get there. It's surrounded by bushes and trees. im going there tonight. That large place is called Devil's Den. It's a very low spot.

you can see the ks95 radio tower from there. thats where the somewhere a four comes. 94.5. An iconoclast is a very good word for a devil. And in todays clue a

tome besides meaning a book also means one of those pitchforks that a devil uses. What do you think about that now.

Mets - 03:57pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7769 of 22138)

Capital MAll seems good but it is not a park and the clues say park- I even checked with the downtown library...and it is just part of the capitol grounds Think

KEllogg and play with the two famous Kelloggs - cereal is from Battle Creek Mich. and the other is a very famous Kellogg from Minnesota - famous treaty he wrote

by that name to end all wars sec. of state- treaty in all encyclopedias... so..Kellogg runs by the History Center too... Name Games and the TOme I think it has to do

with Kellogg-may be pointing us to Battle Creek, not Kellogg park!

Step it might be beyond that. there are a few pretty good sized hills. Newell may seem like a small park but its not as small as you think. If you see like trees and

brush everywhere down there then that is it. Its about 100 feet past that. I was there yesterday for about an hour just to scope things out. dug up in obvios areas but

then i went for a walk and stumbled across a sign that said devils den. the only thing that you can really see is the ks95 radio tower.

Ok enough about como.

It's either at newell or highland. The only reason why i think its higland because it the carnivals anniversary and the first year it was buried in Highland. If you want to

know why i think its at Newell please tell me if you want to know.

about almost anything.

Step,

My front runner is probably Highland (45%), followed by some obscure little park (40%), Dumb Luck (14%), Newell (1%).

I am keeping BC and Phalen on the back burner, and Nixing Como.

Basically I don't think we have the difinitive clue yet.

Sunday nights will be the park clincher!

Damn everybody who says Newell is to small they havent gone in devils den yet that place is pretty big. Como? NO NO NO NO NO!!!! its was there just a few

years ago. Enough of como newell is the spot. I just went to newell last night and i saw this sign where nobody has been and it said devils den 100 ft. So i went in

there {there refers to going through brush and trees and the place hasn't even been touched. am i the only one that knows about this place?

justthinking - 04:19pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7825 of 22138)

you were asking about 95 and sometimes 5? Well there is a learning center near como and the hours could be posted on the door. Maybe open 9am - 5pm and

sometimes 9am - 4pm. I like Como too.

lildebi - 04:20pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7826 of 22138)

where is the ks95 tower in relation to the devils den, anyone????

That's why if you are an iconoclast you don't pay attention to tradtion, so what if it was there 2 yrs ago????

Lildeby youve heard about it? There are about 4 certain spots where youc an stand to see the ks 95 tower

tango - 04:22pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7832 of 22138)

you can make any clue seem to point to any park at this point - right??? There is enough ideas flying around that any park makes sense - and people come up with

crazy numbers and baseball diamond configuration to think that the park that they are in contains the Medallion - guess what shurlock - there is about 20 parks that

are fair game for this little rat race that we all are doing - and well everyone thinks it's in their park that they are digging in...right??

and 2 people in the world really know where it is - and well I don't think any of us are those 2 people - so until more clues come out - all of us rats - will be running

around knocking other peoples ideas - because we think ours is the best idea and plan - The medallion won't be found until - Feb 2 or 3rd - by that time PP will

have had enough publicity to pay the extra $$ that they shelled out this year...and they'll be laughing a lot more than any of us to the bank - enough said - good luck

to all - may you find your happyness in what ever fricking park you want to dig in....

answer my question. You can't possibly say that the 945 clue rules out Como.

well, what about the adorn the door, where is the suppoesed door to the devils den??? that would explain the ks95 stuff, look at the entrance, the medallion is

adorning the "front door" to the devils den

Dave Stone - 04:25pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7848 of 22138)

I would like to shoot down this whole KS95 thing, or at least attempt to. The 95 and sunny station is not a sponser, while Rock 100 and K102 are. Wouldn't the PP

and Winter Carnival work with their corporate partners? Just a thought.....

lildebi - 04:25pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7849 of 22138)

dave, that would be too easy!!! this is supposed to be hard as you can see. ks95 is shown-- somewhere a 4 is the 94.5 call #'s for the station.

Dave Stone - 04:27pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7857 of 22138)

Fort Snelling State Park is in Hennepin and Dakota counties. Medallion must be in Ramsey County. Also, clue says Saint Paul park, so I would think Ft. Snelling ,

which is run by the state, would be ruled out. However, Hidden Falls is directly accross from Ft. Snelling....

Wampa2 - 04:27pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7858 of 22138)

Good thought Lindsay, but I thought it was decided that the park was in St. Paul Proper. Fort Snelling, and the park, is a seperate city.

Hard to believe, huh?

rupert - 04:28pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7859 of 22138)

I second Mr. Stone on that one. After all money is what this is all about. KS95 is not a sponsor of the Winter Carnival. Hmmmm

lildebi - 04:28pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7860 of 22138)

Perhaps your right, lildebi. Sometimes I think of financial matters too much.....Perhaps I should think more in a *puzzle* mode!

Highland, because there is a golf course and some other stuff that I am not going to tell you guys and como is given too much publicity!!!!

Dave Stone - 04:31pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7864 of 22138)

I can't help but think that hours posted on a door might be the answer. My co-worker believes that clue refers to Battle Creek, where the medallion was found 4

years ago in 1995.

The Rock - 04:31pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7865 of 22138)

Ok here goes. This is why i say its at newell park. In clue 4 it says "but there's VALUE as WELL as IN the NEW. VALUE=medallion/location IN=its in AND

WELL+NEW = NEWELL. now for the iconoclast now that can be referred to the devil. the 9 the 5 and somewhere a four can refer to the ks95 radio tower. The 4

comes in at its radio station 94.5. In todays clue a tome, {yes it is refered to as a book} but in the big webster dictionary it says that a tome can also be a pitchfork

that the devil has. Devils den makes perfect sence. and adorn the front door there is a little shelter with a door on it by the entrance of devils den. I was just there last

night and came across this devils den and you have to go through brush and trees to get there because the real path is covered by snow. devils den is very hard to

see but once you find the sign its pretty easy to get there. What do you think of that!!!!

Moss - 04:32pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7866 of 22138)

why say friggin?

Dave Stone - 04:32pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7867 of 22138)

I don't think its in Como, because I don't want to search there. Too busy! That snow slide is really packing them in, and those polar bears and the

Conservatory--auugh!

The Irish - 04:32pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7868 of 22138)

What about Hawthorne St. at Como. That is a famous person who has authored and been in many a tome.

The Rock - 04:34pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7869 of 22138)

ok that thing said earlier about the sponser things well your wrong they do sponser the winter carnival BUT ks95 sponsers the PP. I guaranttee it!!!!

stephanie noland - 04:34pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7870 of 22138)

have to agree with dave except the four years ago part it says somewhere four (four baseballs fields??)

lildebi - 04:34pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7871 of 22138)

dave, i try to keep away from financial-- it gives me a headache!!! besides being in sales... well you know!!!!!

Dave Stone - 04:35pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7872 of 22138)

I can't help but think that the thing is in some dinky park that none of us have heard of, unless its the one across from our house. On review of past years, (I've only

been doing this for six), I noticed that these are the vaguest clues ever! Perhaps this points to a hunt for a small park, instead of a place in a bigger one. Or perhaps

this is a reflection of the big prize? Any thoughts anybody?

Vicki Kasal - 04:35pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7873 of 22138)

So who is the person who's in lots of tomes?

Pierce Butler inherited his riches from his family when they all died. He then gambled it all away, and then some. In order to get out of debt he sold all of his slaves

off. The most significant thing he's done in his life is sign the constitution

Nathaniel Hawthorne is a well-know 19th Century American novelist best known for his novel The Scarlet letter, which is about religion and its problems. It was

published in 180"4". He also wrote The House of Seven Gables and The Blithedale Romance both published in the 18"5"0s. That is why it is Hawthorne St. away

from the action in Como Park

Lindsay - 04:39pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7882 of 22138)

Wasn't there an old ski jump in Battle Creek that burned down? That would refer to flying....Also, St. Paul Airport in the vicinity.

The Rock - 04:40pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7883 of 22138)

yearned for learning means hamline high not even a block away. Oh and clue 5 just states in a small treasure chest.

Vicki Kasal - 04:40pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7884 of 22138)

If rock "nailed" it, why isn't he there?

Dave Stone - 04:40pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7885 of 22138)

Newell has seen a lot of action--I'm 1/4 mile from there right now, and over lunch, there was a lot of snow sifting going on--the park looks like the surface of the

moon--if its there, it must be in a non-travelled area, so perhaps the fellow is right with this devils den idea....

They wouldn't hide it in Newell Park, it said Newall in the clue so plainly, it was TOO easy and TOO early in the game, it wouldn't be there, and they wouldn't put it

in a small park because there are going to be thousands of people looking for this thing, they need a big park to accomodat everyone

Moss - 04:40pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7887 of 22138)

I personally haven't found "newell" anywhere in tomes. History books, and encylopedia's are so huge though.....I could just have the wrong version. Perry Como

was a famous singer.....

Yes you can see it form hang on a sec.......you can see it form about 3 different spots but only the long pole sticking up from the top of the building. Im thinking

tonights clue will be more specific if not then youll just have to wait untill a couple days before the last clue im guessin

Dave Stone - 04:46pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7910 of 22138)

Adress of Newell park is 920.....I realize this is nitpicking, but I would like 954 to be exact...It would have been just as easy go with 920.

STUDYING THE PAST, BATTLE CREEK ELEMENTARY USED TO HAVE OLD PORTABLE CLASSROOMS, BUT THERES VAKLUE AS WELL IN

THE NEW, THAT REFERS TO THE NEW CLASSROOMS THEY JUST ADDED ON

Dave Stone - 04:50pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7923 of 22138)

Well Dan, sometimes people are spreading DISINFORMATION to get a competitive andvantage, or sometimes they are bouncing ideas of their fellow hunters. If I

told you for a fact that it was in Highland Park, do you really think that would help? That's a lot of real estate to cover.....

Clue number 6 refers to Babe ruth, and what runs by Battle Creek, Ruth St.

Moss - 04:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7930 of 22138)

A PARK IS THE SPOT A GOLF COURSE IS NOT SO PLEASE DON'T DISTURB A FAIRWAY OR GREEN MEANING IT IS NEAR A GOLF COURE

SO DON'T DISTROY IT

Mike McGinn - 04:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7931 of 22138)

Its by a statue idiots, not a devil. a native statue by a golf course and related to a book

Barton Fink - 04:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7932 of 22138)

hey annie... i'm heading to Highland tonight... it's a winner in my mind... if i get sick of it i'll head to newell again and check this so called devils den...

Jbird - 04:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7933 of 22138)

THE ROCK I was over at Newell today, where in the park is this devil's den?

medalionstalion - 04:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7934 of 22138)

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

Cristopher Cambell, sounds like you're trying to lure people away from Newell so it won't be as busy. Tonight I'll either be At Newell or BC-I'll be the one singing

the Rockey song out loud and carrying a "predator" movie case with the medalion in it!

jennyjenny - 04:52pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7935 of 22138)

If people would go back to the iconoclastic clue. It definitely is a person who tears or TORE down a religious institution. How many have there been? Forget all the

other explanations of iconoclastic and focus on the religious aspect of it. If you figure that out, you'll get to the area of the city it's in.

Another clue--the park is bordered by a house with the address 95

and another house with the address 4.

That's all the clues for NOW! THE ONLY REASON I'M TELLING, IS BECAUSE I'M GETTING SICK OF BEING THE ONLY ONE DIGGING THERE!

The Rock - 04:53pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7938 of 22138)

slue 6 tome refers to a book but more importantly i found it also refers to a devils pitchfork

Dan Ireland - 04:53pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7939 of 22138)

people think that the thing is still out there, what if it was already found?

Moss - 04:53pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7940 of 22138)

WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW mR. ROCK?

Mike McGinn - 04:54pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7941 of 22138)

One book that is large and heavy, this is a tome

Moss - 04:55pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7942 of 22138)

I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE NOTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

medalionstalion - 04:55pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7943 of 22138)

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

My cell phone is 598-7454, if you find it at BC call me and I can make fun of all the Newell people! (even though I may be there)

christopher campbell - 04:55pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7944 of 22138)

Medalion, i don't wanna go to Newall, i am going to B.C., i am just trying to help out, i'm a good hunter

Moss - 04:55pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7945 of 22138)

IT IS AT HIGHLAND ROCK!!!!!

The Rock - 04:56pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7946 of 22138)

yes an iconoclast refers to someone against religios things what better than a DEVIL!!!!

Mike McGinn - 04:56pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7947 of 22138)

I believe it is at highland. 9 5 4 are baseball numbers, there is a ball field next to highland

rupert - 04:56pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7948 of 22138)

It says YOU have to be an iconoclast. I think it means you have to go against the norm to find it. Just my two cents

Dave Stone - 04:56pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7949 of 22138)

If it already found Dan, then congrats to the finder! he/she is very good!

christopher campbell - 04:57pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7950 of 22138)

DAN, it may have been found but we are trying to be optomistic and think it's still out there

Moss - 04:57pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7951 of 22138)

IT IS NOT AT BC OR NEWELL OR COMO IT IS AT HIGHLAND ALL THE CLUES POINT TO THERE!!!!1

It has not been found, but iconoclast is a god like figure

Dave Stone - 04:58pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7953 of 22138)

Rupert, I believe you are onto something!

lyon steve - 04:58pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7954 of 22138)

ICONOCLAST--Unscrambled=A LOST COIN! Ill be at Battle creek tonight

The Rock - 04:58pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7955 of 22138)

The only reason why i would think it is at highland is because it was there the first time it was hidden and because it is PP's aniversary, but look at clue 4!!!! but

there's VALUE as WELL as IN the NEW!!! i mean c'mon people.

Dave Stone - 04:58pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7956 of 22138)

Can anyone make the case for Linwood?

christopher campbell - 04:59pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7957 of 22138)

And according to the pioneer press, it is still out there

Mike McGinn - 04:59pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7958 of 22138)

MOSS is right the clues show that it can be found at highland

Golden Boy - 04:59pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7959 of 22138)

I can't believe no-one has figured out 9-5-------4. That is the KEY.

lyon steve - 04:59pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7960 of 22138)

It was just at battle creek 3 years ago!

Moss - 05:00pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7961 of 22138)

MR. ROCK WON'T TALK TO ME BECAUSE HE KNOWS I AM RIGHT!!!!

christopher campbell - 05:00pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7962 of 22138)

hey lion, What does a lost coin have to do with anything, besdies being a reference to the medallion, and i will see you tonight at B.C

lyon steve - 05:00pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7963 of 22138)

THEN WHAT DOES IT MEAN GOLDEN BOY???

Medallionhound - 05:00pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7964 of 22138)

Four years ago for BC! 1995, 4 years ago....

lyon steve - 05:01pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7967 of 22138)

dont know, but i think that is all that it means

The Rock - 05:01pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7968 of 22138)

Oh cmon your saying that god does go against religion. I dont think so its the Devil not god. Devil and God are complete opposites. I think me and my friends will be

the only people in Devils Den.

lyon steve - 05:01pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7969 of 22138)

hmm, my mistake

Golden Boy - 05:01pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7970 of 22138)

Rock - you're a NP-ite. Have you seen the "4"....???

Moss - 05:01pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7971 of 22138)

HELLO mR. ROCK????

Mike McGinn - 05:02pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7972 of 22138)

Devils Den is full of people. It is not there.

medalionstalion - 05:02pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7973 of 22138)

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

Those who think an iconoclast is a devil-LOOK at a dictionary. Many iconoclasts may have gone against religious beliefs, but that's not what defines an iconoclast. It

means one who goes against established beliefs, or the norm. AND yes the clue says YOU have to be one.

All, things said, everything points to BC at this point. See all of you there tonight who agree w/me, those who don't, good luck to you, but I think you're wrong

The Rock - 05:02pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7974 of 22138)

Ok the 9 5 4 thing. KS95 radio tower seen from Newell and devils den. The somewhere a four is 94.5, the radio station

Kathy W - 05:03pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7975 of 22138)

Iconoclast has 2 C's, a lost coin only one

christopher campbell - 05:03pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7976 of 22138)

And it was at B.C 4 years ago, in 95, thats where the 9 and 5 and sometimes a 4 come in

rupert - 05:03pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7977 of 22138)

You know what. I drove by Newell this morning before school and not one person was there... not one. There is so much hype here though????

Dave Stone - 05:03pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7978 of 22138)

Why would the right fielder throw to third base before second? If there is a force at third, then it follows that there is also a force at second. As a baseball play, it

doesn't work. Unless the PP is using it to define an area, and I think it's too early in the game. I could be wrong, but I don't like it.

Mike McGinn - 05:03pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7980 of 22138)

Useful name? People think of a proper name of the Park. A park named after someone Famous.

klaver2 - 05:04pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7981 of 22138)

Rock, I think you hit it on the nose with WELL and NEW. The past clues have so many of those kind of word things.

lyon steve - 05:04pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7982 of 22138)

Mike MGuinn is right

The Rock - 05:05pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7983 of 22138)

Ok moss you need to shut up and why dont you tell me everything in all the clues the explanations to highland you piece of monkey crap!!

christopher campbell - 05:05pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7984 of 22138)

medalionstalion, i will see you at battle creek tonight, around 12:00a.m.

MacGyver - 05:05pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7985 of 22138)

Lyon - Iconoclast unscrambled is not a lost coin. You still have an extra c that you haven't fit into your phrase. What does a lost coin have to do with anything

anyway?

lyon steve - 05:05pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7986 of 22138)

Why are you guys getting in a flame war over such stupid sh1t?

Moss - 05:05pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7987 of 22138)

ROCK IS A CHICKEN BAUK BAUK BUK BUK BAGAK!!!!!!TALK TO ME

Golden Boy - 05:05pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7988 of 22138)

Rock is right. Lyon - I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. It's like one of those pictures that you have to stare at for a while before you can focus on the image - except

it's not a picture - Once you see the "4", you see it clear as day - while other people walk right by and never notice it. It's AWESOME BABY. Pretty clever trick by

the PP. Rock if you know what I'm talkin 'bout e-mail me.

medalionstalion - 05:07pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7989 of 22138)

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

Sounds good Chris

Bye everyone!

LadyC - 05:07pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7990 of 22138)

If some of you are so positive where the Med is, why are you here and not digging? I still need more clues - I can work the ones we have so far to fit a few different

parks.

Golden Boy: You up for diggin' tonight?

christopher campbell - 05:09pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7993 of 22138)

they wouldn't do that this year because 1, they did it last year, 2, the prize is worth up to $10,000

Barton Fink - 05:09pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7994 of 22138)

hey Mike Mcginn... i looked at EVERY park name in St.Paul and got NOTHING out of it.... i was thinking "many a tome" may jumble to get a park or street name

but it doesnt... there are NO parks in St. Paul named after a famous person that coincide with the clue as it reads... the ones named after people are named after

local figures that really arent famous.. just a person who helped the neighborhood the park is in

Golden Boy - 05:09pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7995 of 22138)

9-5-------------4 is the key. It's has nothing to do with KS95 - but it IS at NP. Good Luck to all!!

rupert - 05:09pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7996 of 22138)

I like the analogy of the picture you have to focus in on. I have done that myself. You must admit though that sometimes the picture that you see consumes you and

you wouldn't see anything else even if it was there. People see what they want to see somethimes.

christopher campbell - 05:10pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7997 of 22138)

Anyone else going to Battle Creek tonight?

Moss - 05:10pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7998 of 22138)

ROCK THERE IS A GOLF COURSE THERE THERE IS A HIGH SCHOOL NEAR BY THERE IS A ICE RINK WITH A GOAL THERE IS A HILL

THERE NUMBERS KEEP SCORE IS GOLFING IT MIGHT BE A 5 HOLE AND A 9 HOLE NEAR AND FOUR YOU YELL IN GOLF IF YOUR BALL

Golden Boy - 05:11pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#7999 of 22138)

Hey Woodduck - Not tonight - can't see in the dark. Bseides my son's got hockey at 7:15 AM!!!! But I will be digging starting at about 10-1030 tomorrow morning

Woodduck - 05:11pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#8000 of 22138)

Quack! Quack!

What's up with everyone going to BC? Other than the ski jump, what else fits?

Dave Stone - 05:11pm Jan 29, 1999 CST (#8001 of 22138)

Let me bounce this one off of you folks...I can get all of the clues to fit the Capitol Mall, but the fact that it is not a St. Paul park per se as specified in clue one

bothers me. Any comments?
