2000 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

t

Channel 5 just reported Newell Park-more at 10!!!!

It was Newell, at least, according to channel 5 - more at 6, yada yada....

Well, at least I had the clues figured out correctly so far. Since we are missing the "X-spot" clue, it was a matter of luck or who sifted the most snow. Four hours of working that rake was not enough.

Hi.

I saw two guys run off around 1:00 this afternoon at Newell park...they we pretty excited and one guy asked the other if he had it...broke my heart so I went home

Rob what kind of vehicle did you leave the park in?

Robs WAY off base:

Listen loser boy, you can take your posts, turn it inside out and stick it up your CANDY ASS you little whimp!!!!

Well, given Medallion Sleuth's piece, and Rob's last posting at 12:34pm today, Hmmmmm Rob, you've got some 'splainin to do--what did you do from 12:34 to 4:31?

John Dovoli's got 5,000 dollars. No button. Poor chap. Must not have been a coolerhead. The PP's sight is updated with info on the find.

And as for you VEGAS losin BIT_ _!

GET lost!!

Yeah Rob, explain that....

So Rob . . . goin' to the party? I am sure we all want to give you a BIG pat on the groin.

Damn! I was at Newell Park til 4pm or so. Even finally bought a rake to do some digging tonite after clue 8. Anyone know what time it was found? e and h's mom: in my heart, I was still hopin' for Swede Hollow. Where's AlisonWonderland?

Rob=liar

Thanks for the tip, Schlettdog!

Sure thing, E&H's mom. It was found in an empty pack of playing cards by the swing.

John Davoli, 38, found the medallion in a empty box of playing cards Saturday afternoon near the bench swing in Newell Oark in the Midway area of St. Paul. The St. Paul man and his family will receive $5,000 instead of $10,000 because they didn't register their Winter Carnival button

The story is on the front page.

was at newell when the sad news came out.

Once again I had a great time everyone...thanks for all the helpful posts...next year should be even better now that we got Newell out of it...poetic justice I say....

Thanks Schlett.

We left in a jeep

Another total idiot finds the thing!

I think they should give us the extra $5000 for our PARTY!!!

Nope Rob...the Winners left in a new VW Bug...sorry

We just got back from NP and DAMMIT ANYHOW!

Pie,you have nothing to be ashamed of.It's okay.

John Davoli didn’t trust his wife to stay calm when he found the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion as they were searching together in St. Paul’s Newell Park Saturday afternoon.

So he told her he had enough searching for one day, went home and waited for her there. He considered calling her on her cell phone to tell her to come home quick, but he was concerned she might start screaming in the middle of the park and get mobbed by the 200 other searchers who were still there.

How would you know, you were probably sittin at your computer like a dipshit instead of takin you lazy ass outside and get some fresh air

VEGAS BABY=HO

ROBs WAY: You're not welcome here anymore you pile of donkey dung!!

Downtown Dave would like to thank the following--Allison Wonderland, for his detailed posts, Green for back history on cooler crew and clue reading instructions, Snow Lifter for picking up on Rocky Horror bits, Terry Valentine, emmy & hannah ma for good tips,Derick Davis, for stealing the clues early!!!!! and Most of all PIE, for being the chaotic fountain of wisdom that he is!

Really, Pie. I am going to miss insulting your non-witty a**. Now I'll just have to go back to wondering how someone like you gets laid.

Unreal...my wife and I sat on that swing and had a smoke....she dug around behind it and then we moved on...damndamndamndamndamndamn.....

Well... At least I made it to Newell before it was found... I'd bee even more embarrassed if I was still at Phalen when The Med was uncovered.

Again, I musta been right by them...

Damn! Now I gotta go to work Monday!

Ter, I had so hoped you would have found it. But, at least you were at Newell from the first and had the park "aced" from the very beginning. Good job. You are a damn good Digger!!!

I had just gottten to Newell to dig when everyone started leaving. Someone came up to me a few minutes later and asked, "so where was it found?" I thought he was pulling my leg. bummer, he wasn't. Man, I didn't even get a chance to dig really. Now we gotta wait until next year! Oh well..

Slueth, I feel for you man!!!

my dad and sister were sitting at the bench swing at about 3:30! probably too late but they were that close!!!!

Dave what about me?

I bet you feel him, Pie.

Slueth, at least you probably would have won the $10,000

if I didn't have the button and found it, at least I'd have enough brains to call a friend who does have one and give them some of the loot!

These last two finders have to be total idiots!!!

Buddha's Wisdom is broad as the ocean and His Spirit is full of great Compassion. Buddha has no form but manifests Himself in Exquisiteness and leads us with His whole heart of Compassion. Hatreds never cease by hatreds in this world. By love alone they cease. This is an ancient law. A fool who thinks that he is a fool is for that very reason a wise man. The fool who thinks that he is wise is called a fool indeed. Though he should conquer a thousand men in the battlefield a thousand times, yet he who would conquer himself is the noblest victor. Though he should live a hundred years, not seeing the Truth Sublime; yet better, indeed is a single day's life of one who sees the Truth Sublime. Hard is birth as man, Hard is the life of mortals, Hard is the hearing of the Sublime Truth, Hard is the appearance of a Buddha. Not to do any evil, to cultivate good, To purify one's mind,- This is the advice of the Buddhas. There are no sons for protection, neither father nor even kinsmen; for him who is overcome by death no protection is there from kinsmen.

DDave... I was looking for you as you'd said you'd bee there. I wanted to hear more o'your witty reportay (sp!)!!! I was BAG last night!

Man, I feel like going out and... crying??? Having a temper tantrum???? Kicking some snow banks???? Pitching a royal fit???

Press conference in 5 minutes - not sure if any local news will carry live.

Damn! Another year of people asking me if I've ever found it before.
