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.

Baseball diamond? That would narrow it down......

I bet this is the what's its in clue!

A diamond in the rough is a clump of something that doesn't look like diamond.

gogreengo - I was wondering when someone would come up with that.

I was going to post that in a bit, but that was my first thought.

Guess I will be doing some hunting tomorrow.

Well - this clue takes me back to Newell Park...what Rec center is near Newell Park? There is a tot lot @Newell -- I'm not that familiar with Newell Park - is there off street parking...Newell/Jewel...there's a ball field....fire ring (light a spark)..I believe West Minnehaha runs near or by Newell...just some ideas.

I thought the river devided the cities. I looked on the map and you guys are right, Tower Hill Park is just on the Mpls. side of the line but on the East side of the river. Thanks so much in helping me clear this up but what a bummer cause it seemed SOOO... perfect. By the way, could this be another Baseball refrence in this new clue?

Will the park patrol get after me if I head out searching since the park would be closed??

newell rhymes with jewel (and fool) and with all the echoes and all...

plus, speaking of noodling, my kids called it noodle park when they were little

Don't you DARE say Newell! Too pinchy, and I think that park gets off on being dug up...

IF it is at Newell i will shoot myself!!!!

patti- I connected street names and everything to Newell park earlier today. I think that just confirmed it. I believe that the word jewel was used in the 1984 hunt to rhyme with Newell as well.

I should have just gone hunting earlier.
