I think SnowShadow has it right: SnowShadow 1/25/00 1:08AM

From the treaure site itself, you can see at least one, and probably two, of the skyscrapers in downtown St. Paul.

Typically, this doesn't narrow it down much at all, but it does kinda cross Swede Hollow off.

Wow!!

It took you that long to come up with that!!

Go back to a sport you know better, such as clown boxing!!

However, I'm not sure you will be able to find that either!

George_Y2G_

how about where sometimes you see one tower and other times you see 2, like the blinking lights someone mentioned earlier or 2 towers that line up so close they look like one

The St. Paul Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion is not hidden on private property, newspaper officials reminded the public after learning Monday that some treasure hunters had gone onto St. Paul Water Utility property at the water tower near Highland Park.

When some treasure hunters began digging in the snow near the water tower, St. Paul Water Utility staff ushered treasure hunters from the property.

The medallion is not hidden on Water Utility property near any city water tower.

Do not destroy property. Those who do risk forfeiting the prize.

``We really want to stress that people not destroy property,'' Buscaglia says. ``With this added incentive, there's going to be a lot more enthusiasm, but it's really important that we maintain the city in good shape.''

winger, personally I'd count out bc and cherokee cuz it was there too recently. Hidden falls has become too dangerous with the amount of hunters. Highland, Newell, or a new park look the best right now.

It's Not Newell!!!!!

!! These fools will always be diggin in other locations and they'll convince their friends who just got out of the nut house to dig with them!

After reading deeply into these clues and referring them to a psychic we have determined that the medallion is either at.......listen up, because I'm only going to repeat this once........It's at either Como park...(Perry Como the crooner) or Highland (High in the Sky) or PIE in the sky)

The exact spot will never be pinpointed because of the $ amount and numbers of people. It will be by sheer luck and fate for whoever finds it!!!!! To the finder (if it's not me)please call me for travel arrangements to Mexico!! I have friends there and can show you a great time. They're locals and can stretch your stay and save you mucho pesos!!!!!!!!
