1998's "Shovel Boy" 1999 & 2000's "ShovelMaster", & One crazy shovelin' mother in general!

There is Indian Mounds Park which most people just refer to as Mound. That is where the turning beacon, etc. are. There is also a little park actually called Mound Park about 2 blocks south of Indian Mound which can only be accessed from 2 dead end, and believe me, hard to find streets. There are tennis courts there, etc...but there is absolutely no view of anything from there because it is surrounded by a thick layer of trees.

Hey all just back from newell. Still have some doubts. Didn't seem to be a very big croud for most thinking that it is Newell. I was kind of interested in the vollyball and the basketball being on the same court.

Destiny - 04:15pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8312 of 28288)

digby...I would meet up with you and try and figure it out...but I have to go to mass in a bit...sorry..maybe tomorrow?!

Destiny-chat site is www.medallionhunt.8m.com, but I am on there right now, and the only people there have been idle for a long time. Not a whole lot of chat. You will definitely get more info on here than on there.

digby - 04:16pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8314 of 28288)

ill be at mound it about an hour with a white and blue jacket carring a large orange shovel see you people and good luck

LLkisses - 04:16pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8315 of 28288)

The thing that gets me about Newell is that from the majority of the park I can't see the towers that everyone is refuring to. But that could just be what the clue is saying by should see a tower or 2.

LLkisses - 04:17pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8316 of 28288)

Anyone still thinking Phalen?

James Bond - 04:17pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8317 of 28288)

Could everyone fill me in on what they believe the turning machine is please!?!

This just in: The St Paul winter carnival medallion has been found in Boston, MA. Apparently drifting snows blew it there.

OK, OK...maybe not, but the clues all do point to Boston.

LLkisses - 04:19pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8319 of 28288)

How is Phalen? Has any of it been dug up? Newell is getting pretty dug up.

LLkisses - 04:20pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8320 of 28288)

LOL Shovel. I need some humor right about now. A day of digging will do that to you.

James Bond - 04:22pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8321 of 28288)

Does anyone talk about anything constructive that also pertains to the medallion in here?

diggem' up and ask questions later - 04:23pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8322 of 28288)

What other clues point to capitol mall I am very interested?

LLkisses - 04:23pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8323 of 28288)

I have a question for you. This might be a really dumb question. I know that they sell the sunday paper on saturday here and was wondering about the clue. Would one be in there? Past years I have never been the one to get the clues. So I have no idea.

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:24pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8324 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

Hiyall....

Goin' out to Newell in a little bit. Just waiting for "E & H's Dad" to get up from a little nap. Then, hafta feed baby Natalie, and we'll be outta here.

Was at Newell for a couple hours after the clue this morning...the thing that really pins it there for me was the last clue. A pleasant scene and a turning machine almost has to equal Fairview and Wheeler, and it would make sense that the med would be somewhere in between.

It still doesn't feel right for me though....

gahnzo45 - 04:24pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8325 of 28288)

Shoveler, Damn, I knew it wasnt in Minnesota...Must have been carried to Boston from that last snowstorm we had. hehehe

LLkisses - 04:26pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8326 of 28288)

I also don't get the FEELING that it is there. Something just doesn't seem right for me and I can't pinpoint it.

(Deleted message originally posted by James Bond on 04:28pm Jan 29, 2000 CST)

gahnzo45 - 04:29pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8328 of 28288)

those in this room should have a greeting, like "Digger!!"to find other hunters we know. Ah well, just a thought, gonna go check out Phalen. Was very close last time it was found there, bout 20 ft to short. Talk to you all later.

gahnzo45 - 04:31pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8329 of 28288)

LL, you been to phalen today at all? or anybody? just wonderin what the scene is like. Locusts arrive yet?

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:31pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8330 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

A couple years back, someone suggested that all from the "cooler crew" - and that's what we ALL are from the med board - wear some article of clothing that was white. Should be something out of place - like a diaper on his arm. That way all coolerheads were easily identifiable.....

Rob'sWay - 04:31pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8331 of 28288)

ATTENTION!!!!! THE MEDALLION HAS BEEN FOUND. NOT SURE WHERE. GO CHECK YOURSELF AND CALL THE FRICKEN NUMBER

medallion freak - 04:31pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8332 of 28288)

hunt's over i know where it is I just have to find it........ :-)

hey guys don't trust me call yourself 651-228-5464 I was found

gahnzo45 - 04:32pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8333 of 28288)

NO BS, somebody got it.

Buchloe - 04:32pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8334 of 28288)

If I knew, would I be here?!

OK, nitpickin' time: In reference to clue #2, & apart from obvious interpretation, how does one "get yourself out"?

James Bond - 04:32pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8335 of 28288)

HAve people decided or come to the conclusion that the turning machine is ... wheeler (as in the street) Tennis court crank Merry-go-round

Or WHAT? Which of the mentioned parks have any of these and is there park in between the turning machine and a pleasureable scene?

gahnzo45 - 04:33pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8336 of 28288)

Guess that means I dont have to go out and look for it.

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:33pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8337 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

Well, so much for that. Can't WAIT for those explanations to be posted!!!

Shark - 04:34pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8338 of 28288)

Destiny.... I finally got this to work :)

gahnzo45 - 04:35pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8339 of 28288)

Damn, that just takes the wind out of my sails. Was hopin it would go down to the wire. Wonder if they will post the "explaination" tonight?

Jim Medalfinder - 04:35pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8340 of 28288)

All over till next year!!!!

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:35pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8341 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

Guess I let Dad nap just a little too long.....

Was originally planning to be out there this morning, then 3:00, then whenever....Oh Bother!

Jim Medalfinder - 04:35pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8342 of 28288)

Explanation in tomorrow's paper.

Destiny - 04:36pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8343 of 28288)

HEY SHARK!!!!!! :) i HAVE TO RUN TO MASS...TELL THESE FOLKS WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT AND THEN LET ME KNOW LATER...SHOULD BE HOME IN A BIT...AFTER MASS... :)

ME!!!

gahnzo45 - 04:36pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8344 of 28288)

Ok, so when is the re-hash bash, and does that mean we need to bring "hash" to participate? may help make the clues make sense....

Destiny - 04:37pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8345 of 28288)

DID SOMEONE ACTUALLY FIND IT??? WHERE?!

Rob'sWay - 04:38pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8346 of 28288)

I FOUND IT!!!! I'VE BEEN HOLDEN ON TO THIS THING FOR THE LAST TWO CLUES. WHILE YOU SORRY RETARDED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DIG IT UP.

Destiny - 04:39pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8347 of 28288)

JIM--DID SOMEONE FIND IT?!

The Thinker - 04:39pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8348 of 28288)

where ? where?

Rob'sWay - 04:41pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8349 of 28288)

I FOUND IT ACROSS FROM THE SWINGSET IN THE LINE OF 6 TREES BY A ROCK AND BETWEEN THOSE I FOUND IT

Rob'sWay - 04:41pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8350 of 28288)

THE PIONEER PRESS TOLD ME TO GET READY AND HAVE AN INTERVIEW AT 5:30

James Bond - 04:41pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8351 of 28288)

DID SOMEBODY REALLY FIND THAT DAMN THING?

leelabell - 04:42pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8352 of 28288)

Yes james, call the number

Shark - 04:42pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8353 of 28288)

Yes... Destiny mi amor!!!! I see you :)

Phil's Girl - 04:42pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8354 of 28288)

What is the number to call to see if the medallion has been found?

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:43pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8355 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

gahnzo: Rehash bash is always at the park where the medallion is found. Usually, we get together in the late morning and carry on til early afternoon.

It's potluck - bring something to share.

leelabell - 04:43pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8356 of 28288)

651-228-5464

Rob'sWay - 04:43pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8357 of 28288)

GOD 10,000 DOLLARS ALL TO MYSELF WHILE ALL OF YOU ARE STILL LOOKIN FOR A DAMN JOB. THATS TOO BAD!!

Therese Sonnek - 04:43pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8358 of 28288)

The Medallion has certainly been found. The official phone number confirms it. It must have been at Newell. I was there for two hours this afternoon, and it was pretty dug up. I bet there will be coverage on the news tonight. The phone line just says that the details will be in the paper tomorrow. It doesn't even mention where it was found.

leelabell - 04:43pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8359 of 28288)

Hey E&H mom - is it tomorrow or next Sunday?

Phil's Girl - 04:44pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8360 of 28288)

Thanks Leelabell!

James Bond - 04:44pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8361 of 28288)

What park was the medallion found?

Rob'sWay - 04:44pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8362 of 28288)

I FOUND IT IN NEWELL

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:46pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8363 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

Rehash is planned for next Sunday.

Phil's Girl - 04:48pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8364 of 28288)

Has anyone called the number and gotten information?

PIE--- - 04:49pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8365 of 28288)

It is not a disgrace to fail. Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.------Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.------The greatest failure is the failure to try.----I TRIED and then I CRIED, but now it's forward HO

What's the phone #

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:49pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8366 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

There's no more info other than that it has been found, girl..... 651-228-5464

James Bond - 04:50pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8367 of 28288)

YES

gahnzo45 - 04:50pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8368 of 28288)

So the bash will be on the 6th then? Are we allowed to "imbibe some libations?" or is that strickly a no no...lol

PIE--- - 04:51pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8369 of 28288)

BUMMER!

lonehunter - 04:51pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8370 of 28288)

oh. wah. I will be very interested to see what part of the park it was found. (I'm assuming Newell). We hadn't even gotten to the big whining stage where everyone's pulling their hair out. I love that part. I guess until next year then.

Downtown Dave - 04:51pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8371 of 28288)

...is happy that Art Bell is back.

Yes, the medallion has been found--just called the number--Dang it! Just got home from Newell, too.

Vegas Baby - 04:52pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8372 of 28288)

So does anyone know anything besides stupid liar Rob's way?

PIE--- - 04:52pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8373 of 28288)

I was hoping we were going to break 30,000 on the board!

I was all set for the 10,000! Not the monet but the JOE!

Who knows, I still might get it!

Downtown Dave - 04:53pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8374 of 28288)

...is happy that Art Bell is back.

Vegas--the PP hotline only says that it has been found and that all the details will be in tomorrows paper. That's it. So, it's probably going to cost us all $1.50 to find out!

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:54pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8375 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

Since it's a St. Paul park there'd be no alcohol allowed....

It's TONS of fun all the same Gahnzo!

I'll probably be doing my drinking tonight!

Downtown Dave - 04:54pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8376 of 28288)

...is happy that Art Bell is back.

Pie--you and me both bronco jane bro! Now, I'll settle for quad 8!

Schlettdog - 04:54pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8377 of 28288)

Hope we actually get the paper delivered tomorrow.

Terry Valentine - 04:54pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8378 of 28288)

Predig gig- Saturday, January 19th- McGovern's!

Shoot! One member or another of this family's hunting team has been out there today. I'm really bummed!

PIE--- - 04:54pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8379 of 28288)

The bastards set it up to be found and a SATURDAY!

Money GRUBBIN SOBs

diggem' up and ask questions later - 04:56pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8380 of 28288)

Damn Damn Damn WHere the hell? what the hell? Was it found in Hell?

emmy & hannah's mom - 04:56pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8381 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

I sure do wish it has been found by a true HUNTER, even better if it's a Coolerhead.

Schlettdog - 04:56pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8382 of 28288)

Could a Coolerhead have found it?

Vegas Baby - 04:57pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8383 of 28288)

Thanks D.T. Dave. I was at Newell all day today! But I feel like someone must know something.

Phil's Girl - 04:57pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8384 of 28288)

We need more information before tomorrow's paper!!!

Downtown Dave - 04:57pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8385 of 28288)

...is happy that Art Bell is back.

Yes Schlett--because cooler heads will prevail!

Rob'sWay - 04:57pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8386 of 28288)

Im not lying you queers. I found the damn thing and you can do anything about it. God and only i can thank you guys for telling everything.

PIE--- - 04:59pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8387 of 28288)

If it was found by another aaron nierdork, I'll egg em in the parade!

Schlettdog - 04:59pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8388 of 28288)

If that's true Rob, I hope they quote you in tomorrow's paper.

diggem' up and ask questions later - 04:59pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8389 of 28288)

Damn Damn Damn WHere the hell? what the hell? Was it found in Hell?

PIE--- - 04:59pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8390 of 28288)

Shark - 05:00pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8391 of 28288)

Is there a weights and measures station nearby? Maybe one of those places where big trucks have to stop to make sure they are not overloaded? That might refer to the "right measure"

As to clue #4.... Shelters are for taking refuge in the rain. This could have something to do with a park shelter that has a grill for cooking, or could refer to a homeless shelter nearby where they cook food.....

Schlettdog - 05:00pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8392 of 28288)

Shark, the hunt is over.

PIE--- - 05:01pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8393 of 28288)

Rob, if I were you I wouldn't ride in the parade!!

Downtown Dave - 05:01pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8394 of 28288)

...is happy that Art Bell is back.

Well, either Rob is a liar, or the medallion was found by a raging homophobe with bad manners. Me, I take option A.

Rob'sWay - 05:02pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8395 of 28288)

Well at least im the one cashin in on my prize queers.

Vegas Baby - 05:02pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8396 of 28288)

Listen Rob, If you did find it then we will all know who you are and where you live. Us 'queer' (well, maybe pie) coolerheads are going to sit in front of our computers and complain.

Channel 5 just reported Newell Park-more at 10!!!!

emmy & hannah's mom - 05:04pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8403 of 28288)

(and Natalie's too!)

It was Newell, at least, according to channel 5 - more at 6, yada yada....

...is happy that Art Bell is back.

Well, at least I had the clues figured out correctly so far. Since we are missing the "X-spot" clue, it was a matter of luck or who sifted the most snow. Four hours of working that rake was not enough.

Rob'sWay - 05:07pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8406 of 28288)

Hi.

Medallion Sleuth - 05:08pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8408 of 28288)

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.

I saw two guys run off around 1:00 this afternoon at Newell park...they we pretty excited and one guy asked the other if he had it...broke my heart so I went home

Medallion Sleuth - 05:09pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8409 of 28288)

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.

Rob what kind of vehicle did you leave the park in?

John Davoli, 38, found the medallion in a empty box of playing cards Saturday afternoon near the bench swing in Newell Oark in the Midway area of St. Paul. The St. Paul man and his family will receive $5,000 instead of $10,000 because they didn't register their Winter Carnival button

John Davoli didn’t trust his wife to stay calm when he found the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion as they were searching together in St. Paul’s Newell Park Saturday afternoon.

So he told her he had enough searching for one day, went home and waited for her there. He considered calling her on her cell phone to tell her to come home quick, but he was concerned she might start screaming in the middle of the park and get mobbed by the 200 other searchers who were still there.

Buddha's Wisdom is broad as the ocean and His Spirit is full of great Compassion. Buddha has no form but manifests Himself in Exquisiteness and leads us with His whole heart of Compassion. Hatreds never cease by hatreds in this world. By love alone they cease. This is an ancient law. A fool who thinks that he is a fool is for that very reason a wise man. The fool who thinks that he is wise is called a fool indeed. Though he should conquer a thousand men in the battlefield a thousand times, yet he who would conquer himself is the noblest victor. Though he should live a hundred years, not seeing the Truth Sublime; yet better, indeed is a single day's life of one who sees the Truth Sublime. Hard is birth as man, Hard is the life of mortals, Hard is the hearing of the Sublime Truth, Hard is the appearance of a Buddha. Not to do any evil, to cultivate good, To purify one's mind,- This is the advice of the Buddhas. There are no sons for protection, neither father nor even kinsmen; for him who is overcome by death no protection is there from kinsmen.

Green--was at newell in the early morning and after lunch--total of 4 or so hours--never got near swings--was concentrating on area in north of park between rail yard and basketball court--many cubic feet of snow dug by this ex-marine--nowhere near any swings! Too obvious, I thought! Small park=open field search. Another personal RULE to throw out. Think Ma will start a second hunt, since this one ended so fast? I'd search the thing for, say, 100 bucks, and an lifetime of papers!

It was so nice to have a park closer to home than in some years past. It'll be years before it's at Newell again.

The good thing is that we were in the right park. It's always a better feeling than being in the wrong one when it's found. Been there. Done that.

And yes, it was way too easy. You know, I looked at that swing bench, and something in me fixated on it, but logically, I kept thinking it wouldn't be where down there, had to be farther north.

Why was it so easy this year? 7 clues? Better re-think strategy for next year.

Guide... It was found while we were standing there!!!!

Jakey, at least *you* still weren't in Phalen today... I was! ROFLOL!!! (Beats crying!) I had to check out the "turning machine" - which is where the MTC busses turn around. Get it? "turning machine"? It lined up with the 1/2 basketball "court" and the "pleasant view" - the play ground. But you couldn't see any towers or nuttin'. That's when I knew it wasn't Phalen, so headed to Newell to keep my friends company.

You know... you finally reach a point when you are the ONLY SOUL in the park skulking... A light bulb goes off, "Ahhhh... green? *What* izz wrong with this picture???" LOL!!!

Still totally clueless and in the dark! That's green! :>

A bag of green beans on Railroad Island: "Were on the right track" (from the sign with the train on it)

Ace hardware ads, and a letter from a lawyer named "cook" in an envelope

Anyway, too soon.

Why do people not register their button if they are out digging?

I truly believe that it was easier this year for a couple of reasons.

One. It's been in that park before and for long time hunters, the clues fit easily.

Two. So many of us were in the right park a year early that we were more familiar with the surroundings.

E & h ma--good pick--hadn't thought of that. I think it was easier for this reason--false clues last year led to Newell. People had searched park ONE YEAR AGO and knew where it was. When Swede Hollow, was mentioned on this board, people said "where is that"--Newell didn't get as many questions, therefore, people knew where it was.

leelabell - 05:40pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8482 of 28288)

It was found early because many people were thinking about Newell on clue 4. When I was there on Wednesday there were people digging already and a bunch more scoping out the territory.

The other reason it was found quick (IMHO) is that lots of people are now relying on this board for hints. Next year the PP will have to consider the reach of this site when writing clues.

Logan - 05:41pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8483 of 28288)

Hey, am I a big moron for thinking astute referred to a statue? The clue last night made it obvious it was Newell, but due to a dentist appointment, I never even made it out there. In fact, I was just checking the board to see what people were saying before heading out to Newell.

The most lame explanation for a clue that I can remember= 2 years ago at Cherokee, they said there was some graffiti on the tree by where the medallion was found. Supposedly the word, which was faintly visible, matched one of the clues. Hell, I inspected that word during the hunt. It wasn't even the word they claimed.

Maybe 8:00? Time to get some stuff together beforehand and get the word out.

Jake,

You are not a moron about the statue. I have a daily email list to old friends in Chicago. They count on me to update them.

I had a friend in Boston, mention the statue thing, and I was convinced! One of the reasons I didnt like Newell

Just to let you all know, there is no alcohol allowed in the parks...so drink at your own risk.

So does anyone have access to wood? Or if everyone brought a little. Or.......maybe we could burn that swing bench! (just kidding)

leelabell - 05:50pm Jan 29, 2000 CST (#8516 of 28288)

I think my husband and I can go - what should we bring?

I am the idiot, I wanted Railroad Island. There was a big eye on the fence of the park, the train on the sign there said, "were on the right track" I almost had an accident when I drove by it. I knew it was too small though.

Bring wood if you can, food if you like, probably stuff like Green suggested. Only fire, don't plan on any power.

As for clue #2, not really sure. Maybe it really was just meant to say there were tennis courts in the park, but I don't know about that. If it was found in a card box, then that may relate to ace.

I was on the basketball/volleyball early this afternoon. What time was it found, and where is the the bench swing?

Yes, I think 8:00. That should give everyone time to get their wood, clues, food etc. together.
