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.

Dave--One question, i am not doubting that you may have it figured out, but why not go get it? Everyone can use $10,000.

How am I going to find the medallion. I can't figure out this Water Cooler thing. I am smarter than this. It takes so long to get my message in. I guess that is just the popularity of the hunt.

I live out in Chanhassen. I hate being out in the snow.

I know someone that won the $10,000.00 KS95's name game a couple of years ago. The Taxes suck to deal with. So I will enjoy from a far. But if I said where I thought it was and in what park, it would ruin the fun. . .

No, I went to Cretin no where really near there.

Nick - I don't really care anymore about what you think. I am quiting my job and I need the money.

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......

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.

First timer here, so I'm not sure of all the history in the hunt. But I was at a park this morning nd as I was walking around, I saw a small "congratulations" sign in the snow. I dug it up pretty good but didn't find any thing.....Any comments?? Would it be that easy? I mean with a sign saying, "HERE IT IS"!!!!????
