DR - LOL! DigginDude - Every year the clues come out everyone immediately says Como. People I know say Como when they haven't even read the clues.

Wish I would have sent in my Publishers Clearinghouse - probably have a better chance at winning that than finding the medallion!!

True, True.....I dont feel like going swimming. But it sure would be BOLD to go out on the lake.....

When I drove by the big slide at Como the army trucks were there and off the base.

I know... it's so true... just watch, my face will be on TV right after the SB!

Does anyone know if there was carnival festivities at Como the last time the medallion was hidden there? It seems odd they would risk vandalism and such by hiding the medallion in the same park. Not too mention the parking problem.

Tonight...is going to be the last clue of the 2001 Winter Carnival....Who is Dr.KaiserSosig? I bet he would surprise you....

Are some still thinking it's in a Dove box? I thought about a Secret deoderant container.

They are not concerned with the parking...."to each his own".....BUT!! they do have some sort of security at Como for the sculptures, maze, and slide.

I think off base means not by the playing fields

Diggin Dude - I agree. What about the East/West test? It seems like this should be a big hint.

Yeah... that clue still confuses me...

What about Man of Mettle - how does that fit Como? Some say Winston Churchill - can someone explain?

Hello all - too tired for words this morning. Was at Como 'til the wee hours. Anyway, I really think it is somewhere in the west picnic area - you got the carousol, the streetcar, the playground. I just haven't figured out the man of mettle yet. Not digging again, until the next clue comes out.

I bet the med is in a spot that nobody would think of looking... just out in the open...someplace BOLD

I guess I will join the masses and head to Como. I promised my 4-year-old I would take him digging. If all else fails, we'll visit the activities there.

Maybe since it is a 50th anniv treasure hunt, they put it in a water cooler in honor of this site!

SS>> Have Fun!!

Deb>> yeah, i'm suprised they haven't had a clue about it being the 50th anniv...

I saw a gold ball on one of the buildings at Como on my way up to the snow slide.

I still wonder why they haven't said anything about it being in a park yet. They just kept referring to a place in St. Paul.

Good Luck DD. I am going to get my 5 year old son back out to dig with me. Better get back out. LOL

Just came back from Como west picnic area...as noted just a few minutes ago by others, there is no sign (as yet) of a Man of Mettle...

Digger1, I drove over to Como early this morning and that coffee shop made me think about clue #8

Digger1 what do you think it means....I'm lost

Why does everyone think it is Como? It was just there 4 years ago.

Don't feel bad Donna. I think we are all lost for the moment.

No user inform…

Man of Mettle = Winston Churchill.

Sweetbaby, I just go where everyone else goes. I was at Battlefield on year and was the only one there. It was scarey back in those hills with nobody around.

Trivia Boy

Does anyone else think the Man of Mettle has to be ALIVE since it says "has" and not "had" in the clue?

Thanks, but I'm not sure...apparently the clue-writer isn't always 100% consistent and I don't know how important verb tenses are to him/her...

Sorry, I have no idea how I posted the Como question twice.
