All of you at Veteren hunters or have at least one year digging experience. Are you sure it's at Newell? What about Mounds, Kellogg, Phalen, or Harriet Island? Newell seams to obivous. It's all about 10K this year!

I won't doubt them not hiding it. It's only the start of the winter carnival, plus they are trying to attract all of those Weekend Hunters!

I agree with you Tom - We were all at Newell last year - And I'm going again this morning - everything does seem to fit at Newell - Tonights clue will pin down for sure.

Hey LocalYokel - I remember your other handles - I'm am not totally into newell until tonights clue - What else are you thinkin?

I don't believe it's there at Newell. There are some many other parks that could fit the clues. A simple Truth. Take off the T and it's Ruth, right by the Magnet School and the Tennis Courts. It could be Battle Creek?

Highland is my first stop today

Today's clue was a tease, tonight's clue is going to secure Newell, which has been dugged out, unless the medallion isn't there, or it's going to secure another park, where people have been, but haven't look so well!

tim_the_hunter

I scouted out parks last night, so save your time and look at newell! there isn't a doubt in my simple thinking mind! Then again, I didn't spent hours at newell last year only to have it be at conway. that may help me though!!!

OK OK

Dave Severs

When you do your search, at the bottom of the page, click "search for more items"

You are not getting the complete list. It's not that big a revelation, anyway

People, please do not do multiple postings ! What a waste of time, reading that crap.

Tom, you thinkin Phalen?

Sat, 01/29/2000 - 8:56 AM Permalink
OK OK

and what's up with nobody's e-mail being listed ?

Alan and Jill

You have to look how long to took at Conway - That place looked like a war zone last year - With no less than 500 people diggin. I went by Newell last night and thought it was barely touched. I'm sure with last nights clue it now is pretty dug up - I'm still gonna check it out.

It's a possiblity. There's a place where you can see radio towers, grills, a pavallion, the statue, and a half-circle court. Plus Phalen runs by Wheelock Parkway.

Tom, isnt there an archery range just north of Lake Phalen? under the small overpass.

OK OK

Grandma, I edited, but it was not blatant. I had a few *'s in there.

I suspect A W is sleeping or hunting.

More than half the fun is sloggin and reading everyones ideas. Since I've found (Q found) the cooler it has be a lot more interesting and fun for me. You all are such great thinkers...!

If anybody wants to look at parks from the air. Go to terraserver.microsoft.com. You can put in where you want to look and zoom in pretty close. Kind of cool way to look at things

Hey, it has to be newell.

Something between Fairview and Wheeler, from todays clue. Serve you well refers to Pierce Butler.

Why was today's clue in black and white?

HELLO, ARE THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS CONSIDERED A SAINT PAUL PARK? COULD IT EVER BE THERE? SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER. I/2 IS IN SAINT PAUL AND 1/2 IS IN FALCON HEIGHTS.

Gregor

Yes, the fairgrounds are fair game, as I understand it.

I remember as a kid they found the medallion in the middle of the midway somewhere.

Hasn't been there in awhile. The guys who run the fairgrounds get really upset with everyone digging around the pronto pup booths.

Good Morning! Out Digging last night and some a**hole drove by and said "are you guys looking for this?" Alot of people took off after that. I hate when someone does that. You never know what to think!

How many Phalen supporters are still hanging tough? I hate to believe it but I really think it is Newell now for sure...the clues fit too well...
