Lookout everyone for the famous 4 ladies with the weird hats. Were going to be out there somewhere! We'll be the queens of the snow this year, you just wait! We've got our headlamps, shovels and muscle ointment ready. Hey park guy, see ya at the line up downtown. Good luck to all. Ready for the midnight run. No sleep for us !
Any early guesses on where the medallion is hidden?
It hasn't been at Phalen Park since 1983. And it hasn't been at Kellogg Park since 1985. Those are two large St. Paul parks that are at the top of my list.
Any thoughts on what it'll be hidden in? Last year it was in a Curad box, in a Skoal tin in 1996 (how un-P.C.!). I think it'll be in something related to our new hockey team, maybe in a plastic puck you can open up. Either that or in an Altoids tin.
Well another year and another hunt. One wish has already come true during the Super Bowl, I hope the second will come true in the following days. I will see you all out there!
Hey, how about Newell Park. It has the woods, and a lake across the street. And I've heard a lot of people get high there. By the way, the lake across the street is in the county compost heap. Does that count as a park, because there are at least three or four trees which technically could make them a woods. I'll be there digging.
Don't waste time digging in the wrong place! I see the park from where I sit. Look for me at the park and in the late night lines. I'll have my book "St.Paul Parks- A Treasure Hunter's Guide" available to assist you in your quest.
Here I am!!!!!! I told you where it was last year, on tuesday am. I'm here to get you to the place early again! When your out hunting yell out once in awhile " hey Mr. Know It All"
It's good to see some familiar names from last year, particularly "Mr. Know it All." I'm stuck in Milwaukee again this year so I'll have to use my mental map of the park system and extensive list of past hunt information to be of any use. Mounds and Cherokee are the highest grounds I can think of. I'm prone to Cherokee for the fact that the High Bridge is nearby. But I'm also stuck on the use of the word "hidden" in the 2nd clue. Historically, it's the little words that you take for granted that are most important, so I'm thinking Hidden Falls is a possibility. And I wouldn't try to figure out how long it's been since it was at a given park. Last year's Como Park hiding place threw out all of our pattern-searching efforts. Good luck to all!
Question for you experienced diggers: When do you think the Medallion was hidden? We didn't have much snow until recently...So was it hidden with little snow in mind three weeks ago or was it hidden this past Saturday?
PS -- I went and dug all around the Frog pond at Como. You know, just for the hell of it. I knew it wouldn't be there, but I figured somebody had to do it sooner or later.
There was a list at winter-carnival.com but because of confusion when you try to access the medalion there it sends you hear. But im trying to find a different one too. The highest elevation in the city is at Hill-Crest Golf Course and its no't there,
Is there anything specific in these first two clues that's sending people to Phalen...or are you just headed there on a gut feeling, because it hasn't been there since '83?
The "hidden" in today's clue has got me thinking about Hidden Falls. Of course, it was just there in '93 (in the diaper).
I dont know about anyone else but I havent been able to get anything about the medalion from the winter carnival page since last Friday. I personally dont see anything linking the medalion to Phalen, but its always where people want to go look, for no reason other than it hasnt been there since 83', and I think the "hidden goods" line is too obvious for hidden falls. I beleave its a park near downtown on one of the bluffs, but I think that every year, it costed me many a tear for the last nine year. (in reference to not ever finding it)
hey Zurn, go to the library down town. They have everything you'll need. Of course you'll have to do a little research. Hey L R yes you can access the clues on line it's there now ! Try tonight. See ya !
yo yo yo, this is big daddy pappa. i'm in da house. i think the shiny thing is hidin in old can of coca-cola. it's a dead giveaway in the first clue. if you gots any ideas of what's goin on youz gunna no its in a coke can. piece out to all my homies. word to your mother g funk
Um KRasmussen, where do you find the past clues online? and do they have park history too? and Big daddy pappa, how doz ye figure it be in de can o coke? they couldnt get it in there anyhow, it wouldnt fit.Its in a shoe or Minnesota Wild related apparal.
Does cherokee or mounds have any place for sledding? what could it possible be? the last time I know of them mention sledding was Battle Creek 95' Although the clue writter is known for making long, long streches to through people like us off.
Looks like I'm screwed for treasure hunting this year, no car for
now. I have no choice but to try and help those posting find it.
Here we go. Cross Off Highland, Como, Harriet Island, Battle Creek.
It was in Cherokee Park back in 1992, they've never been that close
together and that includes this year. Remember, if thereis no scenery it is OUT! Not necessarily does the whole park have to be on high ground, possibly just a part of it (maybe where the treasure is). So Far, with not much thinking - in Mounds Park seems like a favorite, if they stay with the recent trend of hiding in big parks, that might rule out a park like Linwood Park, but ya never know for. Clue 2 mentions water, remember could be any kind of water, river, lake, water utility building, watertower, who knows, don't be closed minded about that. Woods more than likely means actual "woods", but count on that. Continue Later, Maybe it will finally be in Phalen again.
okay ready all you computer hunters. should I make it in clue form or just tell you how to find the clues? 1 get to pioneer planet front page.
2. go towards bottom of page it has a picture of the button on it stating Everything you wanted to know about the medallion. 3. click on to the icon. Yea you have solved the clues. See you all out there. Besides it's not so cold out to go downtown and get the paper at 11:00. See you when it gets busy and remember the paper cost 35 cents now.
I want the clues to mean more than they do (for example: "Rosebud" = a street named Wells or Kane; the word "hidden" = Hidden Falls) but I think all we're getting beyond the normal park and water clues is that the medallion is at the top of a sledding hill. Maybe "Rosebud" could double for a summertime flowerbed, but I doubt they'd lead the "diggers" to something they could destroy. A high-ground park like Cherokee or Mounds is starting to lose luster with the 3rd clue. Phalen may be worth a snoop simply because it's been so long since they put it there.
Woops! I was in a coma yesterday!!!!!!! I completely mentally blocked out hidden falls, another high place.........Hey Mr. Sax how the hell are ya! Good to have you back Gregie!!!!!!!!! This clue (#3) is telling you that it is attached to a rosebud (flower maybe, some type of a container with that word on it " maybe". Clue (#2) In the neighborhood are water and woods. Could be a golf course, ( woods, the club type) water (the hazard type). Just giving you something to chew on while i'm tied down to my desk. Yes, kids like to zoom
Sledding at Phalen? Maybe from a rope behind your dad's car. Is that overlook area in Dayton's Bluff considered a park? Little kids will hate us if we dig up all their hills.
Me, Dal Leon Hunter -- you, "snow drifters". Bring on the clues;
let's rock.
I say Dennis Green's boxer shorts....next to the two large orbs of brass.
We're ready for another great hunt !!
It's that wonderful time of year...the reason for putting up with the season...The big Hunt!
Hey there ABETRED, are you ready!!!???? Let's do It!
Well, the clues haven't gotten too far yet and I'm already confused with the
Huntress's message
Huntress 1/25/98 12:11pm
which says
ABETRED. I'm looking in everyone of my dictionaries for
ABETRED .
Lookout everyone for the famous 4 ladies with the weird hats. Were going to be out there somewhere! We'll be the queens of the snow this year, you just wait! We've got our headlamps, shovels and muscle ointment ready. Hey park guy, see ya at the line up downtown. Good luck to all. Ready for the midnight run. No sleep for us !
Through ice and snow I plan to go to find medallion thee
I must leave now and gather my group of almost three.
Any early guesses on where the medallion is hidden?
It hasn't been at Phalen Park since 1983. And it hasn't been at Kellogg Park since 1985. Those are two large St. Paul parks that are at the top of my list.

See you out there!
present and accounted for
Anybody have any thoughts on Battle Creek park? High ground, woods, water, eh? Good luck all. Cya out there.
Well another year and another hunt. One wish has already come true during the Super Bowl, I hope the second will come true in the following days. I will see you all out there!
Best of Luck!

Here I am!!!!!! I told you where it was last year, on tuesday am. I'm here to get you to the place early again! When your out hunting yell out once in awhile " hey Mr. Know It All"
up up and away we go again ..to mounds park, high above the city . Can you get any higher than that?
Yes that's possible but...........! you could be in Highland Pk, Cherokee Pk, Battle Creek, they all have the same view!!!!!!!!!!!
Pat , Pat, Pat. That's why you can't find it your too far off the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mr. Know it All,
Do you really think that they would pick the same park (Battle Creek 95), (Cherokee Park 92), (Highland Park 94).
Our instincts are Phalen Park, Mounds Park, or Kellogg Park is a good possibililty.
I THINK YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK--- PHALEN PARK IS MY GUESS AS OF NOW !!!
It's good to see some familiar names from last year, particularly "Mr. Know it All." I'm stuck in Milwaukee again this year so I'll have to use my mental map of the park system and extensive list of past hunt information to be of any use.

My ESPN powers tell me its at mounds park in a tomato soup can (cambells)
under a lot of snow next to the beakon.
I say the medallion will be found in 8 clues, no mas! This year, its a thinking diggers game.
Question for you experienced diggers: When do you think the Medallion was hidden? We didn't have much snow until recently...So was it hidden with little snow in mind three weeks ago or was it hidden this past Saturday?
PS -- I went and dug all around the Frog pond at Como. You know, just for the hell of it. I knew it wouldn't be there, but I figured somebody had to do it sooner or later.
The frog pond uh? well if it's the treasure ye seek
than come follow me and catch a peek. Arrrgh!
When looking for the medalion please pay tribute to the Gods,
and they will be good, for looking for the medalion by the water and wood.
How can I get a list of all the past treasure locations?
Schmitty, Hey! We'll have the motor home ready to go! Probably Phalen! BG Call and we'll discuss.
There was a list at winter-carnival.com but because of confusion when you try to access the medalion there it sends you hear. But im trying to find a different one too. The highest elevation in the city is at Hill-Crest Golf Course and its no't there,
so Cherokee park hunters beware!
HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS THE CLUES ON THE CARNIVAL PAGE? WANT TO SAVE TRIP TO DOWNTOWN !!
"Hey,
Mr. Know It All 1/26/98 12:41pm!" Have you ever found the famed medallion?
Is there anything specific in these first two clues that's sending people to Phalen...or are you just headed there on a gut feeling, because it hasn't been there since '83?

Keep warm, keep happy, and good luck. (I REALLY hate saying that.)
Does cherokee or mounds have any place for sledding? what could it possible be? the last time I know of them mention sledding was Battle Creek 95' Although the clue writter is known for making long, long streches to through people like us off.
can it be highland park?

I would have to agree with Greg Sax about the difficulty of the
clues, but on the other hand you don't see me with the medallion.
I'm leaning toward Highland Park for a couple of reasons that I will
defulge to any interested. (just write)
I was planning on checking tommorrow night but todays clue seems to
point me in the same direction I was going on clue two, so I will be
seeing you all tonight.
It doesn't seem the same when it's above zero but I'll bear it.
Woops! I was in a coma yesterday!!!!!!! I completely mentally blocked out hidden falls, another high place.........Hey Mr. Sax how the hell are ya! Good to have you back Gregie!!!!!!!!! This clue (#3) is telling you that it is attached to a rosebud (flower maybe, some type of a container with that word on it " maybe". Clue (#2) In the neighborhood are water and woods.

(sliding). ( Highland Park is an early guess.)
Highland Park? Look at the clues.. it has to be in Roseville near the water tower someplace.. I can almost see it from here!!!!
Mead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which part of the first clue don't you understand!!!!
Sledding at Phalen? Maybe from a rope behind your dad's car. Is that overlook area in Dayton's Bluff considered a park? Little kids will hate us if we dig up all their hills.
Yes but we will hate ourselves if we don't!!!!!!!!!!
