Clue 1:

ItÂ’s that time of year you know the drill

ItÂ’s time to find the medallion what a thrill

This year we have a new little twist

NO GPS we must insist

As you look for the prize, a true test of your will

I can for sure tell you itÂ’s in a park in Roseville.

Search on through the grass, wood and bark

Remember Parks close at 10pm, so be home just after dark.

Clue 2:

As you search look towards the rising sun

I hope you are all set for some old school fun

The treasure is well hidden make no mistake

However you wonÂ’t need a shovel or rake

Langton and Villa is where the medallion once was found

You may want to search in another one of the parks around.

Draw a circle through those two parks?

Perhaps a park on the east side of the city?

Parks around could be an anagram, not sure how sophisticated this clue writer is, I never have participated in the Roseville hunt.

I was thinking East Roseville at first too, but now am leaning towards the east side of a park. The problem is, Villa and Langton are nothing near eachother...hmmm

Clue 3:

Oh where oh where could that medallion be

I would suggest you find a park on a county road to see.

Park Pavilions are part of many of the parks

Part of the trail is where this one marks

So hurry and search and follow the rhyme

This park is used much of the time.

Why is "Pavillion" capitalized?

Clue #4

DonÂ’t start to wonder stay on the path

Keep your eyes open or you will need a bath

For in this park you will enjoy your stay

This park is one of MinnesotaÂ’s favorite places to play

If it really is "wonder" there is that wonderbread store on rice & (i think) B2. Close to Acorn...hmmmm...changing my mind a bit here.

Also, favorite place to play, as a statewide thing, screams disc golf.

The start of Heritage Trail starts right off of Co Rd C - just East of Lexington. This trail goes into Central Park East Lexington.

On either side of the trail are small ponds before entering the park on the North side of Bennett Lake. This part of the park also holds the largest pavilion.

It's just so odd that they would put it in Acorn with the disc tourney there on Wednesday and everything. If it is there, can be pretty sure it's nowhere near the course or it would've been found.

I like Clue 3.

On a county road to see = County Road C

Also used much of the time may = Central as in Central time zone.

Places to play from clue 4 does scream disc golf like mentioned earlier.

Clue 5

The Medallion will be in a place so take a risk

As you search for this gold medallion disc.

Be sure to keep looking, off the course you may stray

If you find the medallion it for sure will pay

Leave nothing to chance and go for broke

You will find the medallion in a really young Oak

This really feels like acorn now. somewhere off the disc course near a broken tree or perhaps the oak itself is broke.

I think it's just giving us the park. A really young oak = acorn.

I like Acorn park. Anyone wanna play a round. And maybe stumble upon something else other than a lost disc.

Clue 6 is out:

If you have reached this point you have sure been around

The medallion in Acorn soon will be found

Go past the disc golf course no time to talk

The medallion is at the end of the wooden board walk

Move past the big oaks to the fourth on your right

Walk 15 paces into the woods to the next big tree in sight

About chest height on this oak is the real golden treasure

This concludes this years hunt, it sure was a pleasure

How the hell was this thing found before this clue came out?

15 paces into the woods at either end of the boardwalk is a long way in........it's really thick in there. I don't see how anyone could walk in a straight line.

probably some discer who threw their disc into the woods - went to retrieve it and found the medallion.

That's nowhere near the disc golf course though.

The area they are describing is a jungle where even geocachers don't go.
