2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

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.

I'm trying to figure out what the medallion may be hidden in/wrapped in, etc. -- by this time last year - we knew it was in a Dove container...that's why I'm kind of stuck on Clue #4 as a possibility for finding out what the prize is actually hidden in...

I like BC, and also mounds- although I am worried they may be tricking everyone and have stuck it at Como. Not working tomorrow..so a midnight hunter!

We got it the first time Stacy, just that many of us ignored it because it's so long

What time are all the BC fanatics going out there tonight

BC is my first choice -- especially if I think of "in and on the air" as the clue telling us what the medallion has been placed in. But, if that's not so, my second choice so far is Merriam Park & Rec because KSTP tower can be seen from there, thus fitting the other definition deciphered from "in and on the air".
