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.

If it is at Conway, it is all torn up and about 30 or 40 feet out of the original spot.

Grant- So why can't it still be there? Maybe it is not in the snow, but in something. Still waiting for an answer to my question...

Hey i think i have probably read every single message that has been posted here ...alot of people have good points but you have to find the park that fits every single

clue, not just half of them..i have heard all of the different descriptions of why its here and not there and i still think its at Conway every single clue fits...Yeah i thought

to myself hey if its there it would have been found already but its a big park and alot of its intact....you definately have to see exactly what they tell you, you have to

see fron the spot that the medallion is hidden ..its not going to be just thrown out in the middle of the field , they wouldnt have a landmark to write the last clue

Amy- Seeing a thing twice can be quite nice While you're hunting for our prize So as you search amid snow and ice Look for two frozen places of equal size

It's at Conway! In a baseball, do you think the tennis courts have been checked thoughly!!! maybe not at the rinks but the courts are of equal size, leaving soon to

dig!!! could be anywhere after all the digging!!! See you all there!!

Grant- Aren't there other frozen things at Conway park? Does it HAVE to refer to the ice rinks?

Okay, thanks guys. I didn't know they changed it!! That helps (a little) I really like this message board, if it were not for this board I wouldn't know where to look...I

never go to St. Paul and had never heard of Conway. First year looking for the medallion too

Take I94 in either direction, exit onto Ruth St. Go North about two blocks- it's on the right hand side.

Unless the guy who invented these clues do not know what the hell he/she is talking about, thinks something means the same is another thing is crazy.

Victoria-You're probably right about it not being in the middle of nowhere, however I also think it won't be to close to anything either! It's always around 30 paces

away from whatever they discribe in the last clue!!

The four is the water fountain right in the middle of the park. It is shaped exactly like a four. Go there and see for yourselves.

WOW! I thought for sure it was frozen PLANES but they changed it to PLACES... opens up some possibilities, but I don't know. Thought it was at Highland

football field - the scoreboard has a little door on it with a padlock with the numbers 459 inscribed, but it wouldn't be on a school's playing field would it? Anyone

else catch that?

hey nathan!!!! READ MY THING AGAIN. IT SAYS THAT ONLY ME AND 3 OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE FOUR. MAN IF YOU CANT

they tell you.

Your very right ..was out there last night and wanted to yell to all the poor people digging in the middle of nowhere that its not going to be there....they pretty much

tell you exactly what you need to do on the last clue ..like take 12 steps north of the backstop or something like that only in clue verbage.....

Does anyone think it might be on the east side of the park?? just a thought cause of the Orient clue

Hi everyone. Directions to Conway for those that Ive seen asking recently are as follows: From downtown, head East on I94 for about 2-3 miles and exit on Ruth,

Then go North (left) for about 3 blocks and the park will be there on the right.

Grant, if you're going to say stuff like that, back it up. Both the web site and the phone number are still saying that it has not been found.

Hey Grant, You don't seriously think they don't have spotters? I'm sure they're there laughing at all of us. They'll know as soon as someone finds it.

Bumped into spotter last night he was wearing a PP jacket from 1993 when he won. They commission past winners to spot
