All the clues seem to fit Valley... and where else? Is this what I am hearing? Well, I need to run...

I have at least until the next clue found a park that seems to fit everything depending on how one interprets the clues. And I think one doesn't have to stretch anything and just take the clues at their more obvious meaning.

The clues can fit anywhere if you let your imagination run amok.

I am very new at this and I am sorry for all the reprints. Yes I do think there's a chance. Saturn Riverfront Academy is right across the street. The Salvation ARMY has the lighted kettle there. There's more but I am running out the door to get my kids to a school thing. I'll be back later.

Hi Ian, Steve, Terry

Big Park, lots of digging.

John and Lori - instead of hitting refresh, click on the blue number next to the poster's name. That will bring the newer posts up and will avoid the echoing of your posts.

Hey Maureen! You guys digging yet?

Thanks Terry...I feel so dumb!

East and West just tells me to pick one side of the city to focus on.

Man of Mettle makes me think of a name...perhaps a street name near the park.

I won't let myself read any deeper into the clues, especially the first two.

Don't feel dumb - look how quickly you learn!

East and West can be two directions a connecting road can flow in...not necessarily which side of the city.

Maureen found it in 1998 at Cherokee Park, with her brother Steve. They were the last finders to have a registered button.

I don't know..I tend to doubt it.

So the finder probably has a few hours to find clues/someone with a registered button?

Where is everyone looking, At first i was thinking of Hidden Falls, and the circular thinking you can spell out CITY by drawing a cirlce and Hidden Falls links St Paul And Minneapolis together and in one of the clues its says its out of sight aka hidden

Many people from my job headed out to the Capitol Mall. I'm not sure why, something about the statues and Jesse the body is strong and real.

I never understand why an unregistered doesn't seek out a nice looking person to share the additional money?
