for some reason i'm seeing some connection to the wizard of oz. man of steel (tin man played by Jack Haley), another has plenty of mettle (cowardly lion played by bert lahr). East and West, wicked witch of the west...

Does anyone know anything about Dr. Justus Ohage? Just wondering. It is a street to Harriet.

GO COOLERHEADS!

I think you may have hit the nail on the head - Man of steel that can't be real - Superman, a superhero, not real. The other man of mettle could very well be McKnight, but not necessarily. Could be anyone. I think the main gist is that there is a SuperAmerica nearby. The Minnehaha thing works too. Is there a playground nearby in Battle Creek?

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

Good Morning!

Too much to slog through so I've not read all the noodling since I took off last night for the sheets.

I have some theories that keep swimming around in that gray matter between the ears. Going to check them out today/tonight and hope that I narrow the spot down. It's such a pain to have to work!

Have a way cooler day everyone!

Being a 3Mer, I like the idea of Battle Creek - I can get out on my lunch hours to dig! It was great two years ago at Conway - just a block away!

Fourth Annual (GASP! Has it been THAT long ALREADY?!) Pre-Dig Gig, Sat, Jan 19, 2002 - McGoverns! BE THERE!!!

My Take On The Clues:

#1 This park has been the place for many gold medals, and is within the city limits of St. Paul. Many duels or contests have taken place in this park (and continue to), as well as many dualities concern it - only one of which was that you had to "keep on your toes."

#2 Stay off private ground and don't mess with any statues or golf courses.

#3 Circular thinking/linking refers to bicyles. This is part of one of the dualities.

#4 East and west is another duality of the park, but which is correct? (*I* know!) Playing referrs to playing fields in the park.

#5 Forget first guy, go with second. That's the deal.

The man of mettle has to be someone specific, not just a knight (my opinion I could be wrong). Anyone with courage named Mcknight? It says we have to find his name. I think the "leaves" in clue 3 is very important! Meaning a tree is nearby I think

Two tiny thumbs up for the medallion hunt!

hello all, I saw while slogging that many don't think there's been a water clue yet. I disagree. Clue 4 had a pretty clear water message. And I think you need to be looking at bigger parks. But that's just my take on it. We'll need more clues to really know for sure.

Hey Green, I like some of your ideas on clues 1, 2 & 3. Number 4 when He speaks of East and west Capitalizing East is proper lower case west is not. Think about it, East side? # 5 also in a Dove Box either Ice cream or Soap..

Only water I can get outta 4 is The Frog Pond. Man, I was actually noodling The Med Beeing in The Frog Pond yesterday...

"Hay! This is a depression!"

How you feeling? Going to Bee oot and a'boot soon digging????

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

Here's my take on the clues:

Clue #1 - It's in St. Paul

Clue #2 - Stay off golf courses (the usual) and don't annoy statues (new admonition - making the statue thing more important.

Clue #3 - Chain link fence or chain...circles that are linked.

Clue #4 - East and west streets - perhaps one ways? and a play area

Clue #5 - A man of honor and courage (Martin Luther King, Jr.) and the peaceful bird is Dove and it's boxed. (Dove soap, dove ice cream, Dove candy)

A lake or pond is a depression of sorts. That would be the water clue if that were it - though it's usually not that obscure.

I went to the doctor yesterday and they have put me on antibiotics though they don't know if it will help! I'm hoping to feel better by this weekend so I can dig. I find water in the last line of the clue. You know what park I'm leaning toward, it's not that hard to figure out! and clue 5 now supports it even more!

Mr. KIA... Ah... I believe ittiz grammatically correct to cap the firstest letter of a sentance.

but i could Bee wrong...

South, look... I'm not gonna hand you The Med! Come on!!! Up and att'um! Shake those webs outta yur noggin!

There's a big clue in the second part o'Number 5, and I'm missing it...

Why "herd" and not "horde"? Unless ittiz "heard" which would fit with these silly clues... But I'm thinking more "pack" for "herd" instead'o "heard" for "herd."

You herd it here first folks!

"No university class will ever teach you what LSD can." -- an anonymous writer to the mn daily's network column.

don't worry green you're right. east is only capitalised because it's the first word of the clue. unless of course, you capitalise nothing. that clue could well have been written west and east and had test replaced with something rhyming with east. if anything it's telling you to check near the east or west sides of the park/rec/mailbox.

I think circular thinking is the important part of that clue. I think that the bank account reference simply means that if you figure out this clue you will win a lot of money. I thought at first that it could be hidden in a deposit envelope but not after last night's clue. It's not often that they put more than one important piece of the puzzle in one clue.

The streets around Valley are Jackson, University, Winter, and Mt Airy. But clue #5 isn't referring to a street name.

I believe you can see the gold horses, but even if you couldn't, I thinks that's one of those "optional" clues where if it fits, great, but if it doesn't there's no reason to think it actually has to. Gold could just be referring to the treasure.

Alright, just for you, here's my version of clue #5:

The school at Valley is Franklin Magnet. Magnets are made of steel, but Franklin was not. Yet Benjamin Franklin was a man of mettle. (The clue writer is making a little joke).

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

Hi everyone, just thought I'd share my thougts. Don't hold me to this, but this was my first reaction last night. "A man of steel" is a refference to Superman, but he "cannot be real" and "another has plenty of mettle". Who is "another" that is being reffered to? Another superhero? What Superhero has plenty of "mettle"? Well, Iron Man of course! So basically look for the word "iron" around where the treasure is hidden.

Here is the hole in your theory on clue 5 Allison, the clue makes reference to a "man of steel" and "another". I believe this "another" is the name for which we need to look for around the hiding place.

I promote my website for two reasons. One, people kept getting mad at me for telling everyone where the Medallion was the last two years so I use the club to discuss my theories mostly. That way people can't complain quite as much about all the lurkers stealing ideas. And two, if I can get more people in my club, there will be more people to participate in future hunts like the one I did last year.

OK, so I've retracted the hole in your theory allison, BUT if your theory is right then in clue five they have told us almost outright which park it is hidden in and WHAT it is hidden in. I just don't think the clue is being that specific in regards to location. The right interpretation of this clue should narrow us down to a few parks or possibilities.

    Like I said at 4am, ever think of the Wizard of Oz? Man of steel = tin man, man of mettle = cowardly lion. East/West = Wicked Witch

    Anyways: Just a look into the "very fine fettle". Are there any parks near a metal recycling or metal pouring company or something like that? Fettle also has another meaning when associated with metallurgy and it is a very fine sand or ore used to line a furnace before pouring molten metal into it. Just a thought. Anyone?

    Anyone think the "man of steel" could mean it's by a comic book store? Just a thought.

    Well, look at who originally played those people in the original oz. Jack Harry played the tin man and Bert Lahr played the lion. Look for those names or something close to that in or arounf the park. Or, it could be the entire superman theme, saying that superman is not real. So, find someone who instead of being a fictional hero isa real hero. Mettle=courage, so we are looking for a man of courage. I thought Nelson Mandela, b/c of the book that was wrote about him "Man of courage". A little side note, but did you know where the creator of the wizard of oz came up with oz? He was looking through his file cabinet, and noticed the folders A-N and O-Z, thus the name OZ. Funny huh?

    There can't be an argument on whether a Rec center is a park. Conway is a rec center as well, and the rules state St. Paul public property so nobody said it has to be a park. I say you can overanalyze the first few and they haven't led us there yet. Tonight will tell-the dual/link thing can fit many parks/areas. Rest up, this weekend will get hot : )

    Okay, for anyone who think it's Valley you should go there and find out if you still feel the same. I was there last night. All it is Franklin's playground, like where the kids have recess. All the snow around there has been trampled by little feet. I don't really think the school would like hoards of people digging while the kids are out there playing (they might get hit with a shovel). My suggestion is to go out and look at the parks, also really study hard the streets by the parks, there is "a man of mettle" that no one has posted up here, and his name runs straight into the park.

    Here's a non-park theory -

    What about somewhere along River Road? The running path does a loop/circle around the East & West bank of the river. The West side would be Minneapolis - so that's out, but the East side is the far most east side of St. Paul.

    Mounds Park has sacred burial grounds as part of the park. One year people really tore up this site, and it caused real problems with the Native American community. (Rightfully so) I think the PP would like to avoid this issue, and not put it in Mounds again.

    I'm back. I will say I'm not 100% sure about Valley, but I'm probably 90% sure. I can fit the clues there and fit them really well (in my opinion anyway). The only thing I don't like about it is that the park is essentially the playground for the school and there are indeed kids out there during the day. But maybe the clue writer didn't think about that, or didn't care? If you think the medallion can be at Indian Mounds, Rice, Mears, or Kellogg, then why would you think it couldn't be there? I don't see it fitting anywhere else as well, and certainly putting it there would make for a tougher contest.

    As for Stallion's comments, I don't think they are intentionally revealing this information. I think the last two clues, while giving good information, were also meant to misdirect people away from the correct park. By throwing in the east and the west, they were trying to fool people into thinking it was one or the other and send them running for the extremes when all the while the thing is right there in the very middle. And then today they use the phrase "man of steel" on purpose because they know the first thing everyone will think of is Superman and they will start looking for names like Clark, Kent, Reeves, etc. But in reality, "man of steel", (in my opinion) is a play on the name "Franklin Magnet". So yes, they are giving us good information, but I don't think they expected anyone to catch it.

    Derick, the shooting at McGovern's for last night was cancelled. They went out and filmed people digging instead. So I don't know that anyone actually was there last night other than yourself.

    As for the kids, maybe that's what they meant by "prepare to be bold"?
