Gustav, do you think the "Dough" part of the clue meant something about a bank or a bakery?

I dont know about the police station cuz the st. paul police stations dont have numbers to mark them, but theres the 6 engine house and on baker there used to be 15.

Is it possible that not only is there the division st theory but that you might be able to see the dakota county line? Another type of division?

do not know, lots of banks near Highland - who cares

could mean that the coin is in a cookie? or bread wrapper

really no idea - just having fun guessing

Montreal divides Highland Park in Half

Unknown the Police Division over there

if you look and past years' clues and their answers

seems like people are reading too much into the clues

usually only tells you one thing

it is still wide open

anybody's game. Could be Highland, Mounds, or Cherokee.

there really isn't a Firestation right next to the park, like a police station, but look anywhere you want.

Hey keep using those metal detectors

I doubt it will help, but then you will be out of the real hunters way!
