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 think the numbers 9-5-4 only get us to the area. We have gon way beyond that. We have the corrct park. I don't think it will matter what the numbers mean...
Clues that tell an exact location come later in the clues. Just my opinion. I can hardly wait 'till tonight. I was out at 12:10 am last night, took off work today & want
this insanity to stop !! I need to sleep again ha ha.
there is only one set of translucent "peaks" in saint paul. That's at Sunray shopping center. There are LOTs of lighted steeples and translucent domes.....but they are
Sethmon, I go to the U of M too, no class until noon tomorrow...i am sitting here waiting for the clue because it's driving me crazy!! that homework can wait! LOL I
haven't decided if i am going out tonight, hope it's not raining
Ian: yes, thank you! Eitsab, you'll find me in the picnic grounds. Technically, I don't know exactly where field #2 is. The fields by the school I expect are not park
property, but then again, it took me awhile to see where the golf course is not!
its at conway, which is a park. there a several "baseball' diamonds at conway. there are 9 innings in a baseball game. the two diamonds acroos from each other on
the far waet side of the park are.... you guessed it 4 and 5.
cold feet They are gone, my mom has one, we hunt together. I read the book was no where in town the begining of the hunt. There is supposed to be a new one
Sethmon- The medallion is plastic! Bring it anyways so I know who the dumb-ass is with the metal detector. Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, I am the Superstar! You
Digger,how many people at Conway this afternoon? Lot's of folks using up vacation or sick days? There must be some flu going around. By the way, I can imagine
I live close to Conway, about 3 or 4 miles away. Maybe because of my close proximity, I like Conway. The thing is though, all the clues fit, and fit very well!!!
Maybe the "9, 5,and( somewhere a) 4",refers to a combination of sorts-e.g., number of paces to walk from a certain point,points on a compass(or watch), etc. And
if we are truly being iconoclastic, what says the medallion is buried in the snow? Maybe it is above ground somewhere.
Anyone consider the area east of the state capitol yet?(My old St.Paul map lists it as "Eastern Park"). Jackson (man of fame- clue 6) St. runs into it and a few blocks
east is a street called "Lorient"(clue 9). Jesse Ventura is indeed an iconoclast and he is mixing the "old" with the "new" in his cabinet appointments. Other clues seem
How many people have been to Conway? Is it dug up pretty good? I really don't think it's there because someone would have found it by now. The park is so small.
People lets get together and figure this thing out. We are well ahead of the others because we hav ethe internet, watercooler, people with ideas, common sense, and
the desire to enjoy ones company, and the desire to find the treasure.
I apologize to any Russian gymnasts who may have been offended by my last comment. Truly bad taste. I'm in the car business and these creeps I work with, it rubs
off on me. Gold: I don't know how he lost his job. Remind me.
Sorry, Sethmon, didn't mean to criticize. Just trying to give you some info. This is my first year, too. My kid talked me into it. Anyway, good luck. I've gotta work
tomorrow and then takd care of kids and Cub Scout stuff and on and on, so I've gotta get to bed. Have fun with the search!

NOT "peaks"

WRITE ME A CLUE HERE THEN..BUT I GOTTA LOG OFF WITHIN 10 MIN.
Thanks for the info, to whoever gave it (I don't remember). It won't make sense until I try it.
Ian: yes, thank you! Eitsab, you'll find me in the picnic grounds. Technically, I don't know exactly where field #2 is. The fields by the school I expect are not park
property, but then again, it took me awhile to see where the golf course is not!
Digger, you sure it's at Conway? I might take tomorrow off if the darn thing isn't found!
water on high refers to the under ground water tanks at HP , NOT THE TOWERS.
KATHY I HAD THE GOGGLES AND THE WIERDHAIR DO YA REMEMBER ME
Hey gonna get it...... i think the translucent peak is the Gloria Dei church or the steeple right next to it.....?
Sethmon and Amy: Yet another U of M student!!! For myself, have class from 10:10 to 2:15, but after class am going straight to Conway!!
its at conway, which is a park. there a several "baseball' diamonds at conway. there are 9 innings in a baseball game. the two diamonds acroos from each other on
the far waet side of the park are.... you guessed it 4 and 5.
C'mon Sharon,would I lie to you?
cold feet They are gone, my mom has one, we hunt together. I read the book was no where in town the begining of the hunt. There is supposed to be a new one
commin' out. When? Who Knows??
Amy, I got class at 8 Am so Im unsure about going out tonight. Maybe just driving to scout the favorite sites.
GIMME MORE...THATS ALOT OF GOOFS....
Digger, would like to know what 'whatever' is? ;-)
Sethmon, a metal detector will not work, except for trash. The medallion is blue plastic.
"Numbers keep score and adorn the front door" How does that fit in with Conway? Anyone?
water on high is definitely NOT down low people....
Hey Vicki: How about the Translucent peak of the St Paul Co bldg downtown? Thirty people @ Rice park the other night seemed to think there were other
translucent peaks in St Paul.
I WAS WITH TWO GUYS AND WE WHERE TALKING ABOUT VOLLEYBALL
Sethmon- The medallion is plastic! Bring it anyways so I know who the dumb-ass is with the metal detector. Protons, Neutrons, Electrons, I am the Superstar! You
think I ain't?
Cougar and Amy I'll be at Conway unless this clue defines another place!
Use your imagination.
The revised edition should be released next year. jsrworth@aol.com
Guess I am slow to jump on the "it's at Conway" bandwagon.....
YOUR CLOSE...WHAT ELSE????
There are a lot of references to boats... peak is actually another name for the large sail on a ship.

Digger,how many people at Conway this afternoon? Lot's of folks using up vacation or sick days? There must be some flu going around. By the way, I can imagine
plenty.
Well Excuuuuusse Meeeee. This is my first attempt to find the plastic medallion
Good night, all! Someday when my kids are grown I'll be out there digging with you, but for now I'm just learning to interpret clues!

to fit as well. Just a thought.
NOW YOU REALLY KNOW ME!!! WHOA...TELL ME MORE QUICK..I HAVE TO GO GET THE VOLLEYBALL STAR....
Just testing the new toy.
How many people have been to Conway? Is it dug up pretty good? I really don't think it's there because someone would have found it by now. The park is so small.
There were somewhere between 150-200 people.HOW PLENTY???
ARE YOU THAT "HOT" DUDE THAT LOOKS LIKE A SNOW BOARDER??

Hey CA Drmn: My kids are 2yrs and 8mos. I bring em with me. Never too young to start. They were bred for this purpose! Like a Russian gymnast!

CAREFULL CHRIS,REMEMBER HOW HOWARD COSELL LOST HIS JOB.
The clues point more towards Conway than to Highland, it has to be Conway!
