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.

don't worry marie, if one of us finds it you can guarantee that person'll be at the re-hash bash. (unless its me and the eagles pull off a miracle this sunday). of course, the regulars around here will be there anyway!

ComeWithMe.....thats what I like to see, at least someone wanted to take a break from the clue talk and get funky. I think we've stressed everything out of the 5 clues so far......so how about everyone get higher. What do you all say...

I WANNA TAKE YA HIGHER!!!! (HIGHER!!!) CMON I CANT HEAR YOU.....I REALLY WANNA TAKE YOU HIGHER!!!

Yep, but there are various things that I care about, and various things that may have changed.

It's actually a great line from a Bob Dylan song, but it fits in so many ways.

Could the medallion clue writer be on this website and possibly giving false testimony!

ok, here's a hypothetical question for you guys. if the medallion were, say frozen in a block of ice, and the ice had a yello tint to it, yet it obviously encased the medallion, what would you do?

I failed the true diggers test. At AA there is a new dog lease free area. They have a large mail box that is used to put bags of dog doo doo in. I opened it and it was full of bags, the med could easily been in there with its knitted hat, butt I just closed it back up. What would you have done??

The first year I hunted, I found a diaper at Como and opened it up and it was, of course, a dirty one! Funny thing is that it was found at Hidden Falls in diaper that year!

comewithme, They could. Personally, I like that theory and sounded it out here before the hunt started, but no one else agreed.

depends, new daddy. if you find 2 medallions, and turn in 2 sets of clues, and have 2 buttons registered, do you get $20000?

Well could hide it like that if thay were smamerze and cheats.

Thanks for reply, DS. Thought I knew you!

Anyone else think the button registration was way too early this year? I have always gotten a button and registered it in time except this year. It was due before the Winter Carnival even officially began! ARgh!

I think they hide it befor the hunt starts. The year it was at como and there was no snow it was hidden in a clump of sod. I had a long look at that clump of sod on day 3 just by luck. I new you don't have to dig in the dirt so I did not look there. That clump looked like when a plow tears up some of the turf along the sidewalk. It looked like it had not been disturberd for several days. I'm I still pissed off at the hider for stretching their own rules and putting it in the sod. But being that close is why I am such an addict. It makes me wonder How it is hidden this year, another year that there was no snow it was frozen between some leaves.. but would that be tuff.

The darn thing is at como....again, it is the only one that makes sense and works.

My thought is State Fair. Me and a friend are digging there tonight. It fits with all clues and I was there last night and all the gates were unlocked. They did that at Hidden Falls in '93 --left gates unlocked all night.

Yeah, i know it was at mounds before, and that is when they had the big deal about ruining them. It is a possibilty though, i won't rule it out.
