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.
Why Hillcrest - A lot of stretches but here goes - NO Golf Course - Sledding - numbers on the door - 954 - baseball diamonds - librabry for studying past - new
addition 2 years ago - I believe Judaism believes in iconoclism - Ford offers his name - said with a slur forward found in all big books - and lastly Parkway is a street
The giant slide that is this year in Como, used to be along Cedar next to the Capitol Mall. I-94 is adjacent to the mall area....and the 5? Must be a 5 somewhere.
Those numbers could probably be found just about anywhere. I wonder if it might be referring to something the medallion is hidden in...instead of something seen
maybe somebody knows from the past-- do things like the capitol mall fit within the definition of a "park". Note that this year it explicit says that "a park is the spot,"
whereas in past years all it has said is that is on public ground.
I was at 4 parks today: Highland, Merriam, Newell, and Battle Creek. I think I like Mer. best, but bc is solid too. Where is the 5 at Merriam? The exit for Snelling
says 51, but that seems to be a stretch. Any thoughts?
The Capitol Mall was referred to as public ground in 89. Similar verbage this year.
And I've been trying to remember, but it does seem to me that as the Peace Officers Memorial was dedicated, that area might have been given a name...but I'm not
according to the treasure hunter's guide, newell park doesn't seem to have clue #3: "A nine and a five and somewhere a four," but Merriam Park has the sign on the
Park building, open 9-5 and 9-4. so, dan and barbi-> what are your ideas on Newell park? Marriam is just south of 94 and adjacent to Longfellow Magnet school.
why does clue 3 say "numbers keep score" and "figure this out"....just an idea but is this a math theme? Is there some kind of a math building with a 954 in the
We think that the "trees in a line" Has to do with a name. line forms Neil, what could trees in a mean? Trees could = Street. What do you think? Any parks that
Rice park is filled with ice sculpture. Address is approx. 95 4th St. Library (James HILL) across steet. River Centre is new and has goals. Statue of Fitzgerald,
famous guy. Trees seem to point to Washington Street. Stretching here. And it's a popular outdoor attraction?
def; MALL, a large area usually lined with shade trees and shrubbery websters. could this lead us to the capital mall or to be really iconoclastic indoors to town
square park?? thanks Terry VAl. I think I'll look at the capital mall
You can see Midway Stadium from Newell and I understand during the daylight hours you can see part of the scoreboard. There is no scoreboard in Newell.
No score boards at Newell. Tennis courts across the street on their own block. Sand box between shelter and the park house has a jungle gym shaped like a stage
I went to 4 parks today: battle creek, merriam, newell and highland. I like merriam and bc best. I like the idea that clue #4 means it's in a new park...so unless #8
reveals something new, I like merriam. BUT...where's the 5 at Merriam? The exit sign for Snelling says 51, but that seems a stretch. Any thoughts?
Just read the open 9-5 on the rec center door...sounds good
I simply can't wait to put on my digging gear and hit the parks with my golf clubs... I'm new to these chat rooms, how about a warm welcome??? Are you people
going to como and ride on the slide? Ok enough chat down to buisness. Here's what we think of the number thing... 9 men, i mean people, on the baseball field, 5
people to a side on the hockey rink, and 4 people on a tennis court whatdoya think?
Another Random though - Merriam Park is not only a park - it is a neighborhood in St. Paul - their library is new and there is a protestant church right next door -
Irvine park was happening around 4:00 - after antiques show, went back and found the place pretty dug up. (can force most of the clues to fit)
Stopped by Harriet on Thursday PM - not a digger in sight or evidence of digging (clues don't seem to fit there - although I thought there might be a learning
connection)
"Kellogg" park wasn't too dug up on Thursday - still don't know how the clues all fit...
Capital somehow makes sense to me.... but haven't checked it out yet
Couldn't be Rice - not enough ground to dig (scuptures and wires everywhere)
Keller is in Maplewood
hillcrest is not on ford parkway
I have a list of parks that I'm noodling...in order of preference at least until the next clue comes....
Capitol Mall
Newell
other possibilities...Highland, Battle Creek and Merriam.
Big help, huh?
Why does clue 3 say "figure these out". 9-5 = 4. What could this mean? It's been bothering me.

addition 2 years ago - I believe Judaism believes in iconoclism - Ford offers his name - said with a slur forward found in all big books - and lastly Parkway is a street
adorned with trees - Ford Parkway.
yes it is dan and barbi near the village
Why does clue 3 say "figure these out". 9-5 = 4. What could this mean? It's been bothering me.
How does Capitol mall fit with flying downhill, or 9-5-4?
coasters 32 have not got the 954 thing yet. that could add subtract divide multiply who knows... they do say keep score...address ???

from the site.

Plus, at Hillcrest, between Bohland and Ford Parkway, We saw lots a folks with shovels near the Tennis courts today.

about where is the 900 block of como...or Lex or Marryland are there any parks in the 900 block af any streets in st paul?
Gonna - The five is on the door to the center - open 9-5.
dave matthews... what center?
I think we should each just pick out our favorite park options and go search every square inch of St. Paul !
The Capitol Mall was referred to as public ground in 89. Similar verbage this year.

sure.

Dan & Barbi - the community center at Merriam Park
why does clue 3 say "numbers keep score" and "figure this out"....just an idea but is this a math theme? Is there some kind of a math building with a 954 in the
adrress...long shot
We think that the "trees in a line" Has to do with a name. line forms Neil, what could trees in a mean? Trees could = Street. What do you think? Any parks that
could have to do with this?
Or trees in a line could be a Grove - as in Grover Cleveland.
Has Rice Park been checked out? Clue No. 2, 'but you're chances are nil if you get too close to the action. The main 'action' is at como.
don't know where Newell park is again? say why you all would rule out como so I can stop thinking about it/.
Newell Park is at Fairview and Pierce Butler Route just west of Snelling
today the action was at rice park.
Rice Park is where all the ice sculptures are. That action is not where the medallion is.
Rice park is filled with ice sculpture. Address is approx. 95 4th St. Library (James HILL) across steet. River Centre is new and has goals. Statue of Fitzgerald,
famous guy. Trees seem to point to Washington Street. Stretching here. And it's a popular outdoor attraction?
is there a scoreboard at Newell?
def; MALL, a large area usually lined with shade trees and shrubbery websters. could this lead us to the capital mall or to be really iconoclastic indoors to town
square park?? thanks Terry VAl. I think I'll look at the capital mall

New Daddy - Check it out....let us know what you think.
....ALL I HAVE SEEN HERE IS PEOPLE TELLING OTHER PEOPLE OFF.....EVERYONES GOT THEIR OWN OPINION AND THAT IS FINE....BUT
LAST YEAR THIS BOARD HAD MUCH MORE INFORMATION AND LESS BULL...
Terry, are you still here???
It would seem that if the puck was hidden at HP there would be some obscure clue to the water towers. Maybe they are numbered "9 & 5"?
I still don't think the capitol mall is a "park." Saying it is public ground is different. Lots of things are public ground but not a park.
Cheryl!!!!!!! Hello!!!!!!!!
Have you been digging anywhere yet?
NUMBERS KEEP SCORE THEY PLAY HOCKEY AT MER.
Okay....here's another rambling thought.
Four score and 7 years ago....
Gettysburg Address? Does this fit anywhere?
No score boards at Newell. Tennis courts across the street on their own block. Sand box between shelter and the park house has a jungle gym shaped like a stage
coach. Doesn't fit.

who says it is in an outdoor park?
hi everybody, whats new
If you count the goalie, there's 6 to a side in hockey.
fEVER, I AM THINKING OF 3m FOR CLUE 8,
I have scoped out several? places....
Irvine park was happening around 4:00 - after antiques show, went back and found the place pretty dug up. (can force most of the clues to fit)
Stopped by Harriet on Thursday PM - not a digger in sight or evidence of digging (clues don't seem to fit there - although I thought there might be a learning

How about you Terry?
A warm welcome Diggers! Hello!!!!
I think the number thing could be just about anything. Numbers are everywhere...and those 3 represent about 30% of all possible numbers.
