1999 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

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.

Rock--nice noodling, there, but in #13408 you say (or shout)

"ON THE WATER TOWERS THEY HAVE NUMBERS 95 AND 59 ON THEM WHERE'S THE 4? "

Have you been to the watertowers? The lampposts at Irvine have numbers on them, too.

Anyone have reaction to the Irvine Park idea? or are the real diggers all out there?

for a valuable sign, it could be one of those "don't leave valuables in cars" signs in parking lots at all of the parks

Seeing no intelligent live discussion on the previous REAL theories, I am going to leave the shouters here in the Water Cooler, and go out for actual

snow-shoveling...

No offense to those of you who were trying for actual interchange here, but the intimidation, bashing, and name-calling is getting too thick. (Yeah, I know, look

who's talking, 'cuz now I'm doing it...)

I'll watch five more minutes for discussion of the Irving Park theory.

I was at Lindwood today and it didnt look good (about 10-15 people). Went to the capitol and dug (I think you need more clues to narrow it down to the

capitol)there was about 50 people there. Also went to Phalen there were about 20-30 there. I still have no idea where it is!

I see everyone is not getting along in here...that can be expected. Think about it, you really don't want someone else to find the medallion...you want to find it

yourself.

I think it is in Des Moines, Iowa. Refer to clue 4 which says "The medallion is in a city that smells, if you find the medallion you can buy your ways

out of hells, if you want the famed coin, book a flight to Des Moines."

Hunta...I like Conway, but not too many agree. I think all fits well there. Can't come up with the 9-5-4 for Conway. Any ideas?

Hunta...I like your Howard Stern idea even if someone else didn't. Never thought of that. All I can come up with for 9-5-4 is that there is a house on Ruth St. (west

end of park) with address of 459 and another on east end of park (I think on howard) that has the same address.

It is a PEAK! Not a dome! I think this clue was worded to throw us off. Round and white and streached tight. THEN "Is a glowing translucent peak".

Part one of the clue tells you what it is wrappen in. Part two tells you to look around for a translucent peak.

there were people digging in the frog pond today at como, it is built of rock (quarry) and you can see the conservatory from there...just am not convinced, drove by

the capitol and there was only a handful of people there

I just had a thought...maybe it is in Spain, think of clue 6 it says "If you have a back problem go to Spain, find the medallion, get the money and go to the Dr. This is

the last time I am going to tell you, don't complain about your friggin back to me anymore!"

When I was at Conway earlier today the west end by the ball fields was getting quite dug up, but now many folks on the east end past the tennis courts. I'm leaning

in that direction, how about you?

Its really to bad that some people can't just enjoy things for what they. Don't pay any attention to what you don't like...be kind and share with those that are doing

the same...and the thrill (for me) is in the hunt not the finding and if I share my knowledge or information this year and someone else finds it so be it...behaps next you

I'll be the one if not I have still had a great time. I think this chat place is great if you take it in strive! Good luck to all.....There are so many places it could still

be...maybe I'll see one of you and one of them...I won't know you...but I'd like to think your out there!

Take the no. 9 bus 5 blocks then get on the no.4 bus.The medallion is in the surveillance camera.the whole world will get to see you find it.Like the Truman Show.In

fact the Truman Show won an award.It all makes sense. And sense can also relate to MIND as in jesse ventura the iconoclast!!!!!oh please stop me!!!!!!

these clues are not a very big help i think without them we could be doing as well as we r now!! everyone is in a differnet place as the next person!! i think we need a

few more clues and then people will start getting a better idea on what the rest of the clues mean, and where the medallion is hidden!!

Von - Conway is a big park, the rec ctr. and the library are on the grounds. Several ballfields, hockey rink, skating rink, tennis courts, basketball court, playground,

sliding hill, etc.
