Beavis and Butt head are on the medallion this year, I think. Ok Chris, go ahead and throw out Beaver Lake with not support. Not trying to be hostile here, but lets

have some proof!

I didn't know it was for 10,000 Somolians...what the hell do I want that for??? I want money...

I think it is at the construction site of the new Rivercentre arena, think about the clue that says "the medallion is at the constuction site of the new Rivercentre arena,

so go and get the freakin' thing already!"

Ding Dong, I agree...for the 150 anniversary,the Pioneer Press is really

ticking off the people of the "Other" side of the river...and sending all of the Treasure Hunters over the river to RIP UP the "OTHER CITY"

what a blast...

I am now going to leave and actually go look for the thing, but I would like to leave you with one more insight...I belive the medallion is at the bottom of Lake

Superior...think about the clue that says "If you are really cold and wet, you can make a good bet, you are near the medallion, on the Edmund Fitzgerald you will find

the grand scallion!" Hot damn, I am going to go buy some scuba gear!!! See you at the bottom...good night everybody!!!!

I swear to god I think it is in England...think about the clue that says "If the Spice Girls are near, you have nothing to fear...unless they start singing, if they do we

suggest you buy some industrial grade ear plugs and run." I think they hid it way to far away this time...but what the hell, I'm booking a flight to England...anyone

wanna' come with!?

"numbers keep score and adorn the front door" "a nine and a five and somewhere a four" For some reason the KS94.5 thing dose not work for me. front door?

wouldn't they hint at the sky or a tower or something? Just my two cents.

I am going to go scope out Newell park...I just want to go see what it looks like...if any of you are out there and want to chat I am a big guy with a Vikings sweater

on and I will probably be singing and yelling out that I found the medallion every five minutes...my name is james...so if you think it is me just yell out james and if I

come running at you and tackle you it is me.

clue # 6 ....a man of fame offers a useful name that can be found in many a tome....A MERRIAM-Webster ..... when you are yearning for information you use a

dictionary...there are several volumes of dictionarys (books) MERRIAM Park...also...MERRIAM Library...The medallion has never been hidden there

before...which is iconoclast...out with the old in with the NEW...get it??
