1999 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

It's time for the Medallion Hunt! The first clue will appear on PioneerPlanet just after midnight Saturday, Jan. 22. Come back here to compare notes with other treasure seekers, but be certain you read the rules on the Planet's Winter Carnival page.

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.

Lady i went to the library and looked at the biggest webster dictionary of 1999 and it said that a tome is a pitchfork used by devils. I was looking in the downtown

library

Bob Gunter,

We have concluded that the Capital Mall is not a park, it is a moselieum.

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.

it's not at Newell - that place has been way to dug up - if it was there - it would have been found by now - everyone was talking about Newell - it's not there trust

Well, monkey boy, isn't that impressive. How could you possibly say that the 945 dose not fit Como? There is so much area to cover there. The 945 thing could be

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?

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.

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

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....
