Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.
OTEP, wrong board, dude. Please spew your naive political opinions elsewhere. And oh yeah, you might want to get out of your parent's basement for a second (you know, stop downloading porn) -- there's a whole world out there.
Very cute OTEP, glad to see you aren't advertising. All very nice little ideas "you" have. I hope that there is a place where people like you can talk about how terrible things are and drink $3.00 coffee. Maybe you can pat each other on the back and wear rainbow stickers. Thanks for not wasting anymore of the space in this message board.
Today I've driven past both Phalen and Como and a few other rec center type places during the travels today. It's nice seeing them all dressed out in white. Only a few more weeks and we'll be digging in that white stuff!
What the hey? I fail to check this thing for a few days and there were a bunch of new posts! Give us a little snow and we get all excited. I hope a cooler head prevails this year. Preferably this cooler head.
Sup All? Nice to be back blabbin wit cha all. Unlike the Vikes season, this is the year!!!! We need more of the crew members out diggin this year so we can find that little bugger. It just wouldn't seem right if a non-CC found it after all the brain power we usually put into it. Get your sleep now as your are about to start loosing it little by little. Later -BRD
woo hoo i finally got registered. why do they make it so hard? So has any body on here ever actually found the medallion or seen it? me and the 'tang gang are gonna go 24/7 if it lasts past the 26th. we'll have the nuge blastin' our gourds for extra incentive. gotta go score some 'sang' dudes (and dudettes) later
Finally got it! We could read all the messages but haven't been able to post! Good to see all the familiar names, looking forward to seeing everyone at the Pre-Dig Gig!
It's a miracle finally I can post where is everyone Hey remember I called it last year I argued with alisonwonderland about desotto ave. So If anyone wants to know the park I now have a team of programmers that are going over the probality of percentages (a new theory of mine ) based on historical data and a psychological profile on the writer of the clues.
oh i think thier waiting, biding their time, waiting, waiting to drive us all to the brink of insainity, cuz its when were at that brink of insainity, our clue explainations become "too smart" and were way off, and they win, DARN THEM!
I have returned from my pilgrimage to South Dakota, and while away I was pondering thoughts on where the medallion will be. In my mind, the hunt has become smaller as it has grown. More people are out hunting for the medallion. They are piggybacking off our noodling. They have to make them hard, or else the medallion will be found soon, as it was in Newell. Some places where it was previously hidden seem very unlikely to be future hiding places due to bad hunters (Maplewood, Indian Mounds park). I wouldn't be surprised if those who run the hunt, when they choose a park, factor in potential problems with bad hunters. And how many parks does that rule out?
Nice to see everyone gathering and starting the noodling process.
I really believe there are no rules for hiding the medallion with the exception of Maplewood due to major lawsuits promised from that community. The treasure was even hidden outside the county limits one year.
The issue with the burial mounds at Mounds Park is a non-issue in my opinion. There have been several hunts in recent years that found hundreds of hunters digging at Mounds without incident. I believe the clues that sent people to that park were a test. There were no incidents therefore it's a non-issue.
It's an open field and anything can and probably will happen. Keep your mind open, your shovels sharp, and PLEASE!!!! register your buttons! Let's not have a cooler crew member find it without the button being registered!
I have all the buttons from 1937 to 2002, except for one ! I used to have it, but sold it because I thought it wasn't an 'official' button. GRRRR!
Those aren't my scans. I 'borrowed' them from the guy who had a link at coolercrew.com (his site does not exist anymore.) In case anyone doesn't know, you can take that URL and change it to whatever year you're looking for...1937-1999 I should get the rest of them up in the next couple weeks.
If anyone is interested, I could upload a zip file. Unzipped, they are about 3.5 MB
hmmm, im a big propagander about staying away from places cuz of bad hunters, but thats a good point about making the clues so crappy and vauge, cuz of our big thought commun that every reads here, would allow it to be found so quick with the huge numbers. but if that is the case i hope they remember cherokee when we were on here, and it still went long, and i myself was digging in cherokee since day one, and of course found nothing.
Hey all, checking in here from Vegas, Will be back in a few days. I really think if the clue writers didn't want us to dig at certain parks they'd say it in the rules. So i really think that that idea is up in the air.
You have to use the BACK feature on your browser, or open a new window for each one. Right Click on the button you want to see, then select Open in New Window
The pre-dig gig is a gathering of coolerheads before the medallion hunt. We have gatherings both before and after the medallion hunt. A time to reminisce on past hunts, catch up on old times, reflect on the hunt, have a good time together, see old friends and meet new acquaintances. That's a quick description of it. And hey, it's another Joe for me!
We also get the first clue at midnight and see who can come up with the most wacky off the wall statement of where the medallion is and why, using just the first clue.
OK, question for you techies....Ares? J.T.? anyone. Why/how do the BACK buttons work on my directory of buttons? I did nothing but upload the photos. Seems like magic to me, but maybe that's the way directories work?
Check out the winners link for past medallion finders and what it was hidden in. Credit goes to Maureen for that one. Thanks Maureen...I know you've been peeking in here!
I am ready for the medallion hunt. Why aren't we digging yet? I am going to find the medallion in 2002, because it is the year of the cooler, and I just am. I have little to no douct that I will find the medallion because I am gonna get lucky this year. I just want to dig.
man i think i need more army coats, how sad is this, i was in my dorm, and i was chilled to the very bone after about 6 hours, sure no one has been thier for a week, and the heat has been off making it as cold as outside without a jacket on, but still, i wont be able to do good hunting with that kinda wussyness. good then i can buy alchol now to keep me warm:)
Picking up a little 250 JOE.

Is the medallion out there yet? Or are they still waiting to hide it? Hmmmmmmm.

I promise no fake clues
Hey Ian, are those your buttons?
Scribe has a cool thingy she's got framed. It's about 6 buttons from 1976 attached to a cardboard thingy.
We found it at an estate sale last summer.
Howdy Marley King and Queen!
