10-4 pie--I wasn't doing them earlier, cuz the clues were flying fast and furious, but there has been a lull, and now they are all that keeps me awake! My last successfull was 3333, and I won't be awake much longer, so you own quad 7
I'm starting to think it really might be Newell, but if so, they didn't make it very hard to tell that. I was thinking Iris, but you can't actually see Fairview or the train tracks from there, even though they are close by.
You don't always have to see everything Allison...some clues just lead you to the area.... My sister scoped out Newell tonight and she feels good about it too. :-)
This is one of my favorite treasure hunting jokes:
A blonde wanted to go treasure hunting. She'd seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary "tools" together, she made for the nearest frozen lake. After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to chop the ice Suddenly---from the sky---a voice boomed, "THERE is no TREASURE UNDER THE ICE!" Startled, the blond moved further down the ice, poured a Thermos of cappuccino, and began to chop yet another hole. Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed, ""THERE is no TREASURE UNDER THE ICE!" The Blond, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, set up her stool, and tried again to chop her hole. The voice came once more. ""THERE is no TREASURE UNDER THE ICE!"
She stopped, looked skyward, and said, "Is that you, Lord?" The voice replied, "No, this is the Manager of the Ice Rink!"
LMAO that hockey rink crap was funny as heck we dug accross from the house 459 right out from the hockey rink for 2 overnights :( didnt think to go all the way to the house
If that's the case, I'll stick around. I think maybe I'll look at some past clues becaus I've heard different things and don't exactly recall if you need to see them all.
All I can say is that i am sick of people that dont spend the time, blood, sweat, and tears out there looking all night, finding it :) I hope a true hunter gets it this time, like mr kirk condie :) good luck peeps.
I know last year you could see everything they mentioned. I have a theory though that this entire hunt was designed just to frame Newell when another park is the guilty one.
yeah...the dude who found it a few years back at Como stumbled onto it on his way to work!!!! Work???? Don't you people take a week off during medallion hunting season? hahaha
yup yup, mr neirdorf was there like 15-20 minutes, and wallah, 80% of the time thats the way it happens, maybe us others dig too hard, and dont skim the surface and kick up snow enough.
Of course we don't take off work, Step. We sit in our offices (some of the less fortunate people live in cube farms though), and chat here at the Cooler :-) How else do you think we get 3000 posts a day? Then there are those people, such as yourself, who live in classroom farms. Of course, being only the start of the semester, your class time is expendable. The rest of us need to pay off credit card bills that are just starting to show up from Christmas :-)
Ares -- about your last e-mail, I was at our park twice and BOTH times, I could only see one tower....i really like the theory. Confidence is high....I repeat.....Confidence is high.
Step, you've got to look carefully. The pair of towers are almost on top of each other as you look in that direction, but they are distinct from their solo pair.
As I understand it its an old story dating back to one of the first years of this board (way way back in 98, hehe). Joe Medallion was a poster who would often make short one word or even one letter posts just so he could have a post that ended in double zero or whatever. So now, in some curious homage to this guy who was nothing but in a pain in the ass otherwise, anytime someone gets one of those numbers for their post, its called a Joe.
Just a good ol medium sized BRONCO JANe(JOE)cOMMIN AT YALL!

It seems the only REAL thing this group seems to know is that it is in a park in St. Paul! LOL! :o)
one more hour till go time, baby!!!
Let me just sit down and relax a little bit here guys because I'm on a roll baby!!
I'll never forget last year at CONWAY on the last night when the throngs were pickin away!!
All of a sudden the clue came out and the whole PARK made a shift towards the HOCKEY RINKS!
I swear that it was exactly the same DEJA VU as when they were chasing FRANKENSTEIN through the streets with lamps, picks and shovels!
That was a great night for the EAST SIDE!!
No! make that 39 minutes baby!!
Any one decide which park it's in?

Sorry guys I'm not going to say anything more about the clues until my lucky #7 comes up!
If you'd like I will share some more moments from last years hunt!
It's up to yall!

Is someone gonna post the 7th clue at 11:30 or are we waiting till 12:01?
They try to make a border... box you in if you will.... and then they want you to line certain things up...etc... :)
I agree Dave.... Too many chumps have chanced upon it after all of us have wore our bodies out digging and chopping! :O)
the garage logic think tank continues to ponder think drink and tailgate will the next clue still point to midway???
I know last year you could see everything they mentioned. I have a theory though that this entire hunt was designed just to frame Newell when another park is the guilty one.
yup yup, chumps chumps chumps :)
I agree with you alison
like allisons theory , and so far it holds true again this year, lmao
yeah...the dude who found it a few years back at Como stumbled onto it on his way to work!!!! Work???? Don't you people take a week off during medallion hunting season? hahaha
Allison - how many years have you been searching? You seem to grasp the concepts better than 99% of the people here.
Last nignt I posted at 11:33
Dave SEVERS: I too really feel for the DIGGERS and hope one of them find it!
It pissed me off last year that aaron neirdorf walked up and picked it up! He didn't even win the $10,000 because he bought the button!
I still think it was an inside job last year!!!
I always kind of followed along as a kid, but this is only my third year being seriously involved.
yup yup, mr neirdorf was there like 15-20 minutes, and wallah, 80% of the time thats the way it happens, maybe us others dig too hard, and dont skim the surface and kick up snow enough.
cover more ground quickly :)
