I so hope that it is a hoax. That would be so unfair. I would be upset.

Clue #1 obviously says in our hunt through the snow. Leaves don't cut it for me. I say someone is playing a mean trick on those little girl scouts. And there would not be any cutouts from the paper, just the container.

Repeat of #6630

We were just at Newell...about 4:30 PM a group of girlscouts and their parents said they found it.

I saw the coin from 15 feet away...shiny sky blue in color...hidden in a plastic bubblegum container...hot pink in color...taped to the outside were cutouts of the snowman from the PP.

I think its a fake (poor girlscouts) they woud deserve it.

The location was in the leaves (RELIEF) under a Picnic shelter just of the parking lot on the North side of the park...

what is everyones thoughts on this.

My gut says HOAX...

Clippings from the paper taped to the outside (I actually held the container)

Coin seemed too dark...

Another young hunter said he was up there at 10am going through the leaves.

two questions for you all...we've been out all day. 1) could 'ivy' refer to ivy tower or ivory tower??? Several parks near Ivy street. Just a thought.

While hoaxes such as this don't happen every year, many times a year someone says they've found it when they've really not.

Never believe itzz been found until MomP says it has.

I can't believe the duplicity of some folks. I only hope they meant the hoax as a prank against a friend and that their character isn't so base that they don't feel some remorse.

Battle Creek was officially taken off the A list earlier today! There's nothing there that adds up like the other 2!
