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.
I don't believe in St. Francis or his dancing reindeer. But seriously, Terry Valentine, I like your thinking but I wonder if a drum, embroidery, or canvas would be
considered covering per se. On a softball it is the covering that is round, white, and stretched tight. I don't know if you can say that about the others.
I don't see St. Francis--well, I saw the Saint, but not Francis. How was SF supposed tp fit at Highland? i was out there today and didn't see any transluscent peak.
The softball thing is spherical though...round yes...but round can also be flat. Who knows? Do you suppose if a person digs up anything but snow, they'll look? I just
find noodling what it's in kind of fun. I was right the year of the broken record at Newell. Otherwise I'm often in left field without a clue.
And last year...that Old Navy baby sock was a total surprise!
I haven't been out during the day yesterday or today, have there been a lot of people out?? we dug last night at the capitol until about 1:30... No luck though... I
think I give up... I am to tired to go out tonight and have to be to work way to early tomorrow... next year going to take time off from work, so I can look during the
As for St. Francis, it relies on St. Francis being as anagram. Its one thing to spell something out with one letter at a time, but it seems highly unfair to expect someone
to complete an anagram until they have all the letters, and by the time the last clue comes out with all the letters, you'll already know where it is. I think its just a
have a feeling where the medallion might be i think it is at PALACE park its really small the clues fit its really really close to Saint Francis if you guys
Looking back...there was one year the first letters of the clues spelled out Battle Creek. The next year they said something like Como Park Its Not. I think those are
the only times the first letters of the clues have meant anything.
freshmen, yes I do get web-crossing....I'm very new at this and I thought I was doing something wrong, also I have to login every time I write a message or change
As for what it is hidden in, I'm not that worried about it. If I dug up a really big piece of dog doo-doo, I'd probably check it out as I would with anything aside from
snow. I know the past two years the clues haven't even really bothered with it either. They claimed last year Annapolis was supposed to suggest Navy, but since
Annapolis was a critical street there was no reason to believe it had a double meaning. And even if you got that much out of it, how you would get from there to an
Old Navy sock would require nothing less than ESP. The year before they also skimped by using Bandana Square as having a double meaning with the bandana it
was wrapped in. If they did devote a clue, or even half a clue to it, its almost a waste of clue because it doesn't really make it any easier to find anyway.
Grandma...if you hit the first number...as in 13909 or 13910...click the 13909...it will refresh the page and bring up any new posts. That should help you avoid
having to login everytime.
Sometimes after the webcrossing is down, you do need to login again...but not always.
On the internet at the anangram site where you type in words or letters and let it find the anagram for you the only thing it comes up with is FRAN SIS - SANS FIR,
hey only 2 hours 40 minutes till the next clue
Maybe the 954 is crossstitched on the hoop thing.
The other thing that is stretched, tight and white might be artist canvas.
How does the St. Francis thing fit into Conway or Linwood?
It doesn't at Conway. St Francis church can be seen from Linwood.
Do you all see the St. Francis in the clues?
Miss V- maybe hunting tomorrow after work- depends on the clue and what kind of day I have. Have you heard from eags or is she still searching?
Eags is around somewhere. Maybe snoozing and getting ready for the next clue.
Do you guys think that st francis is just a coincidence? Has the first letter of every clue meant something in all earlier hunts?
St. Francis fits into Linwood, Highland, and what else?
No but that could be the new part ... i think it is yet another clue to the park
I don't know about in all the previous hunts, but in many - yes!
Been sitting here trying to anagram and have come up with zip....has there been any anagraming done that I have missed?
st.francis is close to linwood
It has been important. The year it was in BC it spelled it out

What did it spell?
Hi youall, I think nine is a address all by itself, I think five is the same, anyone agree
It spelled Battle Creek
Grandma--the first letters of each clue are rearranged and spell St. Francis
Or Saint Francis, if they keep it up!

Does anyone else get a "web-crossing..." screen every once and a while?
Freshmen...thanks hope I get out there again soon...until then I am an armchair hunter.
The web crossing has been off - once every little while tonight. Hope it doesn't go down for long periods of time.
You're welcome! I try to help

Maybe they're trying to throw us off so they don't have to give away $10,000
think i know where it is tonight is the night

Been there ... it's like newell ... don't bother it is all dug up
Dingoman I know palace park. How does it fit? Where/what's the translucent peak?
Does anyone know what another name for tree's in a line is?

I believe that Palace playground is located west of Snelling on Palace Ave.
No numbers too
The medalion is at Conway. The clues all match. I'll just wait till 11:30
you can see the transculent peek from PALACE and landmark is there and i dont know you guys have your parks i have mine my fav are CONWAY and PALACE
and LINWOOD
I think linwood could be line of wood, linwood...see it? Palace is just a playground, not a park, right?
Trees in a line = wood row (as in Wilson), which is by Conway.
no it is a park cause it said parks and receration or somtin on the sign but i dont know conway sounds good
yep, the wilson one for conway is the one I keep forgetting to tell people
On the internet at the anangram site where you type in words or letters and let it find the anagram for you the only thing it comes up with is FRAN SIS - SANS FIR,
that is with the first letter of each clue
4.95, that's the cost of a good paperback isn't it?
Trees in a line are also called a "wind-row" as in wind break.
