You're right, I've only been on this site for the hunt. Though I met Green and some others yesterday in person and got inducted into the cooler crew so maybe I'll be

around elsewhere in the future.

I am vowing never to watch channel 5 again, what a waste of 30 minutes; they're the last ones to know the medallion is found, and they call themselves reporters? I

hope channel 9 or 11 can do better than that later tonight.

Does anyone else have the same feeling as when the Vikings lost?? The only good thing here is a Minnesotan won.

we may all sleep now, well maybe. Knowing that chunk of change is in someone else's pocket is never comforting, but I've learned to live!

Regalman-- No i don't, when the vikings lost i locked myself in my room and cried for 3 hours! This will amount to 2 hours 59 minutes and 59.5 seconds!

Now, I hope we can find enough kind people to donate some money to Conway for our kids... Otherwise, we will have to take some money that was set aside for

uniforms and equipment to pay to repair all that has been done... Don't get me wrong, I love the hunt!!! I have hunted for 15 years now, but I just hate to see the

kids go without... ;-(

GAME #1 BEGINS MAY 1ST. Think your smart enough to find the treasure? Play the game! The prizes may even be more fulfilling than the challenge!

Although I didn't add anything to the discussion, my kids and I really enjoyed noodling the clues and looking over y'all's comments. We went to Conway on Sunday

and were right there diggin' away behind that backstop (field no. 4 by the way for those still thinking about clue #3). The kids are blown away by how close we were

to it. Looking forward to next year!

We were there until midnight last night, 15 FEET from where it was found! I agree with you, LL, it was great fun for the family to work out the clues and spend time

together digging. We'll be back next year for sure!

A good hunt comes to a disappointing end. My boys worked so hard! They quit around 5:00 today and planned to return at 11:30. I'm sure many worked hard like

they did. Oh well.....we have the best treasure!! Jesus Christ!!

FOOLED YA

Guys and Gals:(LOSERS)

I'm sorry to have to rub it in your face but you all would do the same thing!

For the guy with the blue baseball hat that called me a lazy, shovel leaning freak, well, you can kiss my a$$, JERK!!!

To the hot little babe who, smiled at me when I put it in my pocket, EMAIL ME and we'll go get a Hotel Room!

And to all you Losers out there, tough luck, better luck next time!!!

I didn't even dig for the thing! I just stood around keeping my Eyes peeled, and when I saw this knit thing I Walked over and grabbed it.

So for all you diggin creeps, what a wate of time bozos!!!

Victoria: it takes about 8 seconds to set up an AOL email account. If it's really Aaron (finder of the Med) how come he hasn't been here during the entire hunt and

now he shows up? I doubt it. Also, that person started posting about 10 minutes after the announcement. Don't be gullible....I really don't think it is the finder.

Aaron..really how old are you anyways??
