Nobody care about the North direction deal... I still have problems with the look in the north direction. Other clues make sense for lots of parks, but that clue leaves me stumped

Steve--we were suggesting #6 earlier--I will dig there, but I have a couple of problems with that site--I too like the other side better.....Central Park! LOL! Not hardly.

swede hollow = no good... for a millisecond i thought they would give away the park in the first clue but now i know that they know there are too many people like me that would obsess with swede hollow from the beginning

Tom, either click the number in blue (your last one was 4584), or click back and then refresh. You're posting multiple times.

I'm new to the hunt, and I'm wondering . . .

What is the medallion made of, metal? Do people use a metal detector to try to find it? I saw someone out hunting and he had some kind of hand-held locator-device ???

Also, would they ever bury the medallion in the ground?

Has it ever been found underwater?

Early to bed, early to rise, makes one healthy, wealthy, and wise.

That's my strategy, anyway. I won't have a chance to search until tomorrow night at the earliest, so why lose sleep over the hunt tonight? I look forward to tonight's clue; hopefully things will come into focus, because right now I'm stumped. Good night and good luck.

I kinda think that Swede Hollow could be ruled out, I don't think the PP would put it down there it just doesn't seem like the safest night park for people to be digging around. What do others think about that theory

Its a plastic opaque thing, blue tint to it, size of a hockey puck

schweppes: it used to be made of metal, but they changed it some years ago to a piece of blue translucent goo. You can get the history back to the beginning at the CoolerCrew Web Site.

Highlander... Phalen is one of the Parks I have not yet checked out. Highland, Cherokee, Battle Creek, and of course the fan favorite Newell all have good arguements, what's the draw to Phalen
