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.

Morning Randy, THX, Green. Twas nice to meet you all too. Once I got home, the silly wife convinced me it was at Phalen again. I was there until 3am digging thru fire pits and grills. Anybody else dig?

BTW, I'm pretty sure it isn't in a fire pit at Phalen. lol

Maybee from your hug? LOL!!! Tho, I remember in years past you not being the bestest noodler!

I've TOLD you! I'm trying VERY HARD to learn from my betters! There are folks here - and some that don't even come here but I've run across - that have been doing this for YEARS. I'm trying to learn from them.

Mac, I'm back where I was yesterday. And I don't think I'm gonna be leaving it...

Haven't they in years past used adjectives for snow other than rough (i.e. fluffy, white blanket) or something of the sort. Guess I'm just noodling, but to me, it sounds like it's under something other than snow (sand, rock, log, bush or whatever)or can't be seen by the naked eye or somebody just passing by which could also mean it's underneath something not on ground level

Diamond in the rough... It's in tall weeds! They hid it BEFORE the Christmas snow I bet. They wanted it to stay hidden even if all the snow melted.

Look in tall weeds!

Yup, it would, Mac... Would work very well...

However, I - personally - do not believe ittiz there. Can you see a parking lot or tot territory from there?

slim, i'm fairly certain its in a small park. were it in a large park, we would have had something pointing us to a specific park by now. i did some analysis on the times it was at como last nite, and 4, 5, and 6 seem to be when they slipped something in that very much pointed to that park.
