pretty sure it's in a dove box or dove wrapper
I live right by Lake Phalen. I don't think it is there. They have gates that close at night and every night they are closed. Wont be on the Maplewood side either
ch 11 NOW!
why does everyone think downtown,farmers market
kollin,my son has been thinking of rice park.
ok....let's try this...... think circles link.......olympice rings? Special olympics held here in 1991. Where was the medallian hid in 1991.
there is a news story on the documentary, which is on the cooler crew
whats on channel 11?
Documentary o treasure hunting, NOW!!!!!!
Oh my that Jake guy is hot=)
darn !! I missed it...what did they say?
was thinking east or west like the clue said though only one is the proper place,so think east side or the west side,what would put you at harriet island,bank, part river bank
That was a nice story. Glad someone said something about it.
BOTHER BOTHER BOTHER!!!
Why, Oh WHY does my system HAVE to do an upgrade NOW! I can't watch TV!
Who was that jake guy? IS he in the water cooler?
Question,and this may help others that have mistakenly posted twice:
How do you refresh after you post a message so you don't have to hit the Previous message, and so you don't get that question asking if you want to repost? Thanks. After each time I post, I hit Previous then More. Is there an easier way?
Someone just tell me where to be and I'll show up with my digging device and we can just have FUN. Is that not the underlying meaning of it all?!
Yeah it's spose to be fun. THen ya get the people that act like monsters when it's treasure time LOL
Oh where oh where can that treasure be...
click on the blue post #16022, or whatever
that message will repeat and anything after it will be shown
I think either Harriet Island, Battle Creek or Highland....
I remember when it was at Conway, I was digging with my Fam, and this guy came up and was like totally digging a trench LOL. Im like hey buddy I dont think it will be under ground beneath the dirt LOL. Then he started swearing and stuff. I was like oh my god this has gone to his head
Well I'm easily thrilled just by meeting others out there in search of it. I don't need money to get all excited. But I'm really needing $10000 about now!
Crazy- that jake guy is going on-line in a minute. Stick around
ElseaMae,you just hit the nail on the head it is all in fun isn't that why we do this every year.just maybe one of these time we might just find it
LOL YEAH! *sticks around*
Thats why you caN eliminate some parks Crazy, people do idiotic things like dig on the mounds at mounds park...lol
crazy was that the guy who had dug out the entire southeast baseball diamond?
My Parents sat right on it one year when it was in a Dead tree. My dad was so mad he hasnt stepped foot out to look for it again LOL. I think maybe it's time he retires the grudge=)
YES! LOL what a nut!
Now now maybe he just wanted to clear the field and start a game of ball!>?!
You mean we missed the news piece? Why didn't someone call me!?!?!?!?!?
It would only make me more determined if I knew I had been that close...I was pretty close last year and I have been in the right park every year, it just gives me more deternimation and drive!
LOL I dunno what he was thinking. Maybe he was Elsea
you could have played a game on that field he did such a good job. of course, i had my crew cleaning the bleachers out behind that backstop so someone could have actually watched that game lol
I'm cold!!!
nope crazy. wasn't me.
joe!!!
I know how ya feel Gonna Find it! One of these years I say. I mean Im only 22 so I gots lots of time=)
If it happens again someone let me know we'll go down and play a game. AFTER one of us finds the medallion that is.
Ok Im glad that wasnt you. Might track me down one night and give me a good beating=) j/k
If I find it Drinks are on me=) LOL I'll even throw in Dinner LOL
I'm 21, I've got at least 35 more hunts in me.
I want to go out tonight but I am just not sure enough where to go, I am going to save for one more clue I guess Has anybody found a road that fits clue 5? I been looking at every map I can and I can't see a road but it sure seems that the clue is trying to give away a road...
Jake, were you on TV? What was said/shown?
i'm 24. and i've got 50 more hunts in me, even if i have to chain diggers to my wheelchair :)
I am gonna buy a bar if I find it.
and where are you gonna find a bar for 10 grand, jake? let me know. i could buy one now.
joe!!!
I bet I could be on my death bed and I would wanna go out and Look=) My Family gets like I cant explain it Goofy around this time of year. Going out at all hours of the night driving around looking around. Last night we went to Irving park *shakes head* my mom is driving around and round pulls over Im like mom lets get outta here somebody is going to think we are going to rob the area! Oh Ill just tell them Im treasure huntin LOL
Crazy For Treas....careful now...I was saying the same thing you were at age 18 and now I'm 38 and still digging....but its the fun of the hunt!
What do you think it means by "our deal"? Is this a new Pioneer Press deal that we are supposed to know about - like w/ the Wild or something?
Ares - I'm with you. I'll wave over at you when I'm trying not to get stuck with my walker and all.
LOl my great GrandMa Gets out and looks for it. She cant walk very far but she digs around so cute=)
ok elsea
Well, we're not getting very far here, I think I will come back at clue time and see what new bit helps.
later gonna
A bar for 10 grand??? In my basement! I am starting a hunt memorabilia collection and put it on display. I get some mail from the Davolis today......A "I found the Treasure Hunt Medallion" sweatshirt.
how can you tell if people are in here or not?
Crazyfortreasure50, did you think I gave a good interview.
you said you'd buy a bar, jake, not a rezoning from the city :)
is Jake the guy that was just on TV?
ya gotta ask, crazy.
umm Im a water cooler Virgin how do I do that?
That would be me.
mettle means spirt,i was thinking plato,but then you would have to think harriet island hasn't been there since "96"
aWwWwW ya looked so cute all bundles up in your lil tommy Coat=) LOL
Jake!!! I sure wish I woulda seen ya on the little screen! I hope someone taped that!
Where were you when they did the interview?
I think it is inside a dead dove, like the one that used to be in the cage at the farmer's market. What do y'all think?
I looked up "deal" it also says it can be wood or a board out of pine or fir. But I'm telling you I don't know if the writter looked it up...
Thankyou crazyfortreasure50! Terry, Tim taped it.
Could our Man of Steel be Jesse "the body" V? Is there a park around the Mansion that points to any of the Clues?
I AM single.
for real think more like in a ice cream dove bar box or a dove soap dove box
But ya had gloves on and I couldnt see if ya were wearing a ring LOL j/k
Thank goodness it was taped!!! Thanks Tim!! Thanks pops!!!!
Hmm let's change the topic of the board to Medallion Hunting and where to meet other single treasure hunters...OH see se now I have an idea.
does that help ya for real
lol gawd Elsea I was just playing around sheesh
elsea i think you have something there go with it
Thats too bad crazyfortreasure50!
hey, elsea, you could always merge allison's 2 yahoo clubs (get back in that coffin, aw, i'm just promoting the clubs :-).
You know...the PP was going to run a cartoon about Jesse, has that come out yet? that could be their deal that has their name around it. Just a guess.
To bad for what jake?
Crazy - dang cuz I really was serious
no, I really think it's in a dead dove. The box thing is all to fool you- they did that in 1973 with the coffee can. It messed everyone up.
That you were just playing around!
LOL Sorry for spazing
So no one likes my Jesse theory? If the cartoon has already run, or will soon, they could have a clue in the cartoon.
I don't think the cartoon's come out yet annette.
If it hasn't come out yet, but will very soon, perhaps that is one way they will ensure that no one find the medallion too soon.
I got a Question. Everybody talks about meeting people to look for the Treasure. So do you all like know each other and stuff in person?
Allison is getting pretty cocky about his intuition. I don't see how.
Conway was a great thing to spring on people. Very open, very friendly. Very well done. Newell was just fine, too.
Valley is not. It is around children all day, it is unfavorable for people to be around at night. I wouldn't go there.
Crazy I haven't met anyone in person yet although I've been instructed to wear white so that you can be identified as a cooler crew person. So I assume people will run up and introduce themselves?!?!
I agree Matt....there is no way it is at Valley...you have to use common sense when going over this. The clues may fit but you can make the clues fit for quite a few parks still. They wouldn't put it near children and a school that uses it for recess.
that's about it...
i'll wear black when i actually go out to dig. just to be different. :)
JOE
I agree with the it is NOT at Valley statement. Even if it fits.
ah the color Of purity=) LOL at least I think thats what it is. Thats a really cool Idea! I dunno if I could be brave enough to do that.
well matt what do you think about it being at harriet island
I wear what I wear, to identify a cooler crew member, I shout "YOU DIG?"
Crazyfortreasure, alot of us know each other in person
Yeah the whole valley thing, It's Not to safe for all the lil kids running around.
It's worked for three years ....
Ares - who owns white outerwear anyways?!
Ya guys all freinds or something? Or threw the years ya meet each other off the water cooler and "bond" looking for the treasure=)
Harriet Island is under major construction, doubt it's there
I know where to get white under wears. I guess ya could just wear them on the outside of your clothes? I dunno LOL
It should be something other than outerwear-something obviously a 'statement' or signal
Met through the years of digging!
crazy you can meet a lot of neat and cool people on here to go dig with but then think there are some crazy one on here and out there
The clues all fit to my backyard.
And I haven't even begun to stress that kids would have torn the park up by now, found the medallion, and now use it is a large pog... or something of the like.
beats me elsea.
but I won't wear a diaper
crazyfortreasure- do you have im? I have to ask you something. (Don't get nervous, nothing crazy)
ahhhh yeah I got Im..
Okay I'll locate a white symbol of signal and wear/bring it provided we ever get the park nailed. I'm willing to go at midnight after the clue. Who's with me?
hello hunters. i agree about valley...the negatives over ride the positives...too dangerous
Ian...how about wearing a white diaper on the head?...*grin*
harriet island it self is done the only const. is on navy island
Evening everyone - Does anyone know of a website that talks about the St. Paul parks and who they are named after?? Thanks in advance. - Jill
I KNOW where it is
Yeah I have seen some crazy diggers. Last year some guy was screaming at himself and hitting his head with his hand. I was like umm ok Im outta this area. LOL
Clark Kent references lead to two parks. They've done their homework thinking this one up.
Just to letcha all know, the white reference for the cooler crew refers to a white article attached to you, a towel, a white bandana on your knee (which I do), whatever you like. There isn't a requisite white jumpsuit you have to purchase. :)
So where is this damn thing tonight?
maybe after the bottle of Morgan's is gone
Regg I'm sorry then why haven't you turned it in yet? heehee
dayum! I just bought a nice new white jumper! LOL
comic- it is near the frogpond at como
Matt- Darn and to think I thought I was going to get to go shopping. Although now I want to find something unique.
I mean, I think I know what park its in
Elsea we can go shopping and by like some crazy stuff.
I had to return my spandex when I bought it, too, we all go through that introductory loss of direction :)
I thought I knew too but everytime I say I get told why it's NOT there so now I'm just all mussed up and I'm probably wrong anyways.
tim what do you think I'm an idiot
Crazy - yeah I'm totally there. Perhaps a white feather boa would do the trick? umm ok maybe not
yes
LOL I was thinking more of maybe like a hot pink feather scarf. Some fish net snow pants. and High heel boots LOL
We would be the Hotest MaMas out there=)~
how about diving speedos? nothin more nothin less :)
well maybe but I'm still finding this damn treasure
after all, there are people crazier than us. some people go jump into lake minnetonka on new year's.
Crazy - I am sure those things would look much better on you than me
That would be kinda cold Ares! LOL
CrazyForTreasure....that outfit would be way too distracting!!...*smile*
I love watching you guys make worthless arguments about parks in the ghetto. It is not in the ghetto, my friends
I actually think US idiots have an advantage
what about the east and west thing eastside or the west side,that would cut down the area of parks
LOL thats the whole point for it to be distracting! LOL
Yep!....that would be one way to get most of the guys leaning on their shovel handle...*grin*
Regg - I personally haven't said anything like that, but I did see that. I'm not ruling out anyones back yard until they give me something solid to go on.
So who is the man of mettle?!
I wholehartedly agree
LOL I was just thinking more time for me to look
The man of mettle is Henry Ford!
Crazy - OKay you distract the guys I'll dig up the medallion while nobody is looking my way and we'll split it!
mettle means spirt
Regg- Why do you think Ford? Not judging, just asking
The man of mettle could easily be a double reference (phoenetically and absolutely) to a Knight, McKnight, through BC.
Never know, though...
LOL *high fives Elsea* YEAH thats what Im saying=)
I'm still leaning toward Highland somewhere....
Regg I think you and I agree on the park...
The first thing that came to mind when I read "circular thinking" was what goes around comes around....as in the medallion first being hid in Highland 50 years ago?????
Henry Ford was the founder of Ford, do you get it. Not the man of steel, but the man of mettle
Jesse "the body" is our man of mettle
Wasn't Battle Creek just redone or something? Would they send a herd of perople all over it?
I'm about to head out here but I still haven't decided where to go
Just walked in from Valley - all I have to say is that wind is bitin!!
I believe it will be hidden in the very same park, the very same spot as another year - perhaps the 1st yr
I know Highland was the first park however that would lead me to believe it too obvious to put it there on the 50th anniversary. Just my thoughts
IRVING PARK=)
EVERYONE ITS AT HIDDEN FALLS, GO THERE NOW, GET 10000, I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHNG
who was Irving Pk named after?
Anyone tested Annettes theory? Someone run over there and check it out
Regg - and you are not there because?
I dunno who is was named after LOL
think its at rice park
Thanks Elsemae for your vote of confidence.
were there many people at valley?
But I was there last night. And the street that goes around it is a perfect circle ya just keep going around and around. I dunno Im no clue detective LOL I leave that up to my moms I just dig
Annette - everyone has a reason for their thinking who and I to say there are wrong
I went to Rice the other nite. There is plenty of snow around the fence, if one wanted to dig, they could have a field day. Why are you thinking Rice? I had many theories the other nite.
I myself am waiting for the next clue, to be more sure of its location!
sigh.
Personally I don't think he would put it downtown...he wants the hunt to go on long..til the end...that means hundreds of people and lots of cars....downtown would be a MESS!
Regg- I agree with HIDDEN 100% So are you going out tonight after the clue?
there is a steel statue of a man at rice,and i can kinda feel that its there
I sometimes wonder if the people that hid it come into the water cooler and just read what people say LOL. I bet they do
It is of F. Scott Fitzgerald who wrote the Great Gatsby. On the stone wall near the statue is the plaque about him.
Matt - why the sigh?
EVERYTHING FITS HIDDEN FALLS, THERE'S A GREAT CHANCE IT'S THERE!
It would be humorous to read all these ideas as you sat back knowing where it truly was.
I believe it can be downtown because the very 1st clue says to Prepare to be Bold~who would think it would be in a small d.t. park? that would be bold thinking!
thinking oh my god I was WAAAAAAAAY OFF lol what was I thinkin
Being bold is one thing...but he wouldn't be that foolish....no way
I may go tonight, for SURE tomorrow!
Hi room!
I sigh over Regg. He knows where it is, yet is going to wait for the paper to make sure. Every year we see people like Regg. Every year those of us who are well vested in this area usually ignore what they say. Yet Regg seems to snag the attention of the others who don't know better. They listen to Regg say that he really doesn't know but is still sure. They learn better. It's a never ended cycle that I could do without... but the few good minds that meet here can be found together nowhere else.
hello Jordenn
Regg - If tonights clue helps much I'm taking the day off, actualyl my boss TOLD me to take it off to look. Perhaps I'll be there. I can NOT decide which area to start ona nd I doubt if tonights clue will help much.
Matt...you related to AW by chance?
I may go tonight, for SURE tomorrow!
LOL elsea me and my whole fam are calling in 2=morrow too LOL Well it's also friday=)
hey inspector! how's tonights noodling??
Matt, I think that was pretty harsh
Inspector: Not at all. Why?
Jake: Tomorrow there will be another, and the day after, and the day after. And it will happen again next year, and the year after, and the year after. I complain about it once a year. :)
slow noodling....just alot of confusling...*grin*
Matt - interesting, I just know that I am my own person and will go where I go based on my own end thoughts. Even if everyone else thinks I am crazy. However I w ould like to meet a few cooler people. ha! Cooler Crew people as I am sure you are all cooler than I.
Matt...just curious
elseamae ignore this matt guy
Ahh, I've missed the medallion hunter banter. Its been too long....
I guess as a person who uses this kind of technology more often than the regular guy or gal, I have developed a few hot spots that I can't very easily tolerate.
HEY EVERONE GO TO <INSERT ANYWHERE HERE> I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS 1000000000000000000000% PERCENT SURE YES GO THERE NOW TEN THOUSAND 10000 DOLLARS YES GO NOW
I really wish I could remotely disable caps lock.
Those! MJ's been looking for you!
Way to go, Jakey!!!
So, what's the deal? You guys want a lead?
I *just* gave you one.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU ALL THANK MATT! I WAS GOING TO HELP YOU GUYS, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT HE SAID, I REFUSE TO. I HATE WHEN I GIVE PEOPLE ADVICE AND THEY THEN TAUNT ME!
does anyone think its at rice park?
Has anyone made a strong bank reference yet? I had thought it might be in a bank envelope but it's fairly well drawn out that the dove box is much more prominent. I haven't tied up the newly loosened ends yet.
OK...time to take a break...be good to eachother cooler crew....remember, one big happy family!
green - what was it? I missed it!
AHH come on guys this is suppose to be fun let's not argue
Matt, I have news for you.... I network computers 50-60 hours a week so don't use that as an excuse to be rude. Some people have patience, and some go off the deep end. Now lets drop this and talk about where this thing is hidden (No pun intended Regg)
Really? Somebody's been looking for me? I'm touched. Whats up?
Do you want to hear a song? Come to the sewer in the park by the river. There are two untalented ugly singers there!!
Elsea, so what's the deal? You want a lead?
Just a little funny, I have five children and we all went treasure hunting with grandpa and grandma last night. The children ages 2,4,4,6,7 each have their own shovels and were having a blast! They were finding treasure too!!! (Mom was throwing in candy when they were not looking.) Each is now hooked. Here are the future treasure hunters of tommorrow.
All ideas ARE welcome
Oh shoot. Now we'll never figure it out. I'm sorry, Regg, I didn't mean to make you wield your awesome power and use it against your own kin. Please forgive me and allow me to take the brunt of the punishment, just don't tell me. I wouldn't listen anyway.
I'm sorry. Long day today. And this dreck doesn't help.
MATT, YOU SHOULDN'T BE TALKING, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT PARK IT'S IN. YOU ARE PROBIBLY SEARCHING IN MPLS.
are you in the sewer?
green - hmm well now I don't know if I do or not - cuz I already know the it's in MN blah blah blah stuff *grin*
What's the deal? You want a lead?
jake: everyone uses computers 50-60 hours / week. I admin 4 WWW boards and manage 17 chatrooms on various services. I am not rude, though I can begin being so if you'd wish.
oOoOoOoOo THAT IS SO SWEET! witchdct!
I'm glad someone is having fun. What the medallion hunt should be about is taking your kids out, them enjoying it and having a blast, as well as yourself. Not being on here arguing back and forth like little kids.
Deal is "lead" spelled bockwards..........
I would rather just drop it actually.
YEah No kidding. Reminds me of a Really bad AOL chat room LOL *covers eyes*
OOOOO GGGEEEE WHIZ, I'M SCARED TO DEATH, YOU REALLY GOT ME THERE. MATT, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A BRAIN!
Yes I'm with Jake drop the arguing.
green - yes but does the lead help any? ?!?
You mean we can't search there? Shoot, I thought it was in Bloomington, to tell you the truth, all the clues point toward the Mall of America parking lots! I'm ruined.
Okay, enough is enough. What about the banks?
Tim_the_nephew, Hi Grandma and grandpa are over and say hello.
Elsea, if you know who the man o'mettle izz.
I'm into banks as a $$ bank OR banks that are next to water OR perhaps snow?
green - umm okay so let's just say that I don't ...
As far as the bank reference goes, two things make sense: 1. With the use of the word one and figure also in that clue, the 1st Bank Light could be visible from the location or 2. The treasure is in a snow bank.
Christmas was meant to celebrate religion, not to swell the commerce, too, and if you want to make a "you're ruining the event" speech to me, you're just as much a bother as anyone else for speaking off topic.
Turn off the goddamn capslock.
I've got 3 parks on my queue. Any more to add? Has anyone actually tied in Highland to each clue yet? (I'm sure they will)
What about the huge U.S bank next to Hidden Falls, or the bank of the Mississippi!
Hi everyone - again!
MedallinKids! Nice to see you back here!
We've been froing here trying not to be circularly thinking while we get trash ready for the trash man tomorrow.
Green - you must have a theory.
Ok...can someone tell me why you think it's at Highland, Irving (where is that park anyway?), Hidden Falls and Battle Creek??
TV- Thanks, great to be back :) Green- Any special reason why MJ was looking for me?
hey where can i go to get todays clue? :)
