I can't BELIEVE anyone would be so stupid not to have a Winter Carnival Button or atleast find someone with one and give them a portion of the

$10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But I can see by the messages you post, you are not the brightest crayon in the crayon box!!!!!!!!

I do not believe that this person is really the one who found it. It sound a lot like a person who is extremely gealous. if it is the person who found it then he is one

pathetic loser, or winner, I sould say!

Leader...its pretty much impossible to just find it and give it to someone that has a button ...knew someone who actually found it and tried that they almost didnt give

himt he prize at all...they have spotters out there watching over it at all times im sure

Don't beleive for a miniute it was the real finder that posted the ha ha note here, it was probably that peckerhead superstupidstar. Next year there should be a

webmaster dumping of super slimeball idiots like him ! We talked to a lot of people this year, had a great time and thank aron for finding it, our backs appreciate it.

Well, all I have to say is that I'm glad that when we were out there yesterday we were not digging in that area - that would make me crazy thinking that we may have

tossed it accidentally!!!!! It was fun, the clue writer was better than it has been of late, the weather was nice, and we got to talk to lots of nice people, both on the

web here and out at the park. Look forward to talking to you all next year, hope it's a good one for all (except maybe Aaron)!!Just kidding:))

The reason I didn't have the button is because I registered it too late. Get off my back!!!

I'm sorry I posted by rubbing it in but I'm really pumped up and exited.

I didn't mean to hurt anybodys feelings so please understand!

Victoria: If that was really you please call me i mean email me.

The guy with the blue hat behind the backstop by the conway sign, you can still kiss mt A$$!

There is many ways of getting around not having a button. But, if this is really the guy then I can see him making a big fuss about finding it and not using his head. If I

would have found it I would have given it to my mother, who has a button, to turn it in.

Aaron sounds like such a nice young man, I suggest that we all send him e-mail 5-10 times a day to let him know how much we envy him. and with his new found

riches he will definantly need to be signed up for any e-mail lists you my come across, so that he has somewhere to spend his cash.

Why would I look for a stranger with a button when I have co-workers and family I can call on for a registered button if I was too dumb to have my

own??????????I have been Treasure hunting for 30 years and have stepped on or walked by the site each year! One of these years it will be me and I won't be

blabbing on the Internet where I'm looking. You all need to get a LIFE because I have had a GREAT laugh reading all these messages.

So where exactly was it found? Was it just sitting on the grass(under the snow of course) or was it on something? I'm curious because I was out there today and it

seemed like just about every inch of that park was overturned! Did he have to dig deep? Just curious, it seemed so overwhelming out there, just digging anywhere

and everywhere!

AN2:

There are two posting and I really am Aaron. That other fool is just a blowhard and is mad because I won it.

But for that guy with the blue hat and his buddy, ha ha tough luck JERK!

Who says there's a law that you have to dig like an idiot to win the thing. I always said diggers are fools! And besides I can say I didn't wreck anything before I

found it like alot of those dumb asses ot there. I'm glad I found it and only wish I would have registered my button on time.

Sounds like Aaron is starting to get a little remorseful (i.e. scared) of spouting off like a 5 year old. I don't think many of us are buying it. Mail bombs away!!!

A question for everyone--do you think the internet was a huge advantage here, or was it being from st. paul that did the job? (if your still on Aaron, I wouldn't mind

knowing for next year!

or rather, did you have to dig for it..

I found it along the backstop by a bench on the northwest corner of the playground. I wasn't digging because I don't like to wreck stuff. When some people were

shoveling I saw part of a knit thingy sticking out of a snow chunk and just went over and grabbed it.

Aaron, Aeron, Arin, Erin are all ways of spelling the same name, if he spelled it wrong it is only because that's the way it is spelled at the top of this page where it

says who found the thing.

Spots, HAY!!!

Joe Medallion, so you're back? Take a hike, you little deweeb.

And everyone else, IGNORE HIM. He THRIVES on the attention and stirring-o'crap. Totally ignore him!!!

Alan/Jill - Loved the poem!!! Hope to see you at The Re-Hash Bash!!! You, too, Spots! It was really good to see you again!!!

Allison...

Two frozen places of same size??? (We - Honey, SueBee, WW, DDY and I) dug up your idea area....) It ended up that there are two football fields that *we*

didn't know about until about 4:00-4:30 today. The Med was found *near* the "goal" post of the #1 FB field - the one closest to Ruth...

Sorry, friend... But I'm already drooling over next year!!!

Why is everyone so angry anyways? so he did not register his button. He just won $5,000 It is 5k more then he had yesterday.I would be happy with any amount

and so would most of you,am I right? Everyone on here seems to be friends until one of you actually did find the medallion, now you seem to hate that person.

Something does not seem right here. He just got lucky. If it was any one of you, I think that you would want a little respect. Be happy for the guy. and stop calling

him names. It could be you next year just remember that.

Well congrats Aaron, I must have stepped on it 20 times, I was digging for it in the place where the pitchers mound was torn up and thrown at . It was by home

plate. Makes me mad. Next time I'm not moving around so damn much. Spend the money wisely. Have a KEG party.
