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.

Slim the only thing I don't like about your idea is I think there needs to be a fire pit or grills at the park its at....light a spark and Diamond in the rough...I'm thinking its buried in the pit someplace...

Danielle, the book says it's never buried in the dirt, however, it could be frozen in a clump(the Diamond in the rough) That's been done a few times

Danielle - I don't see why they couldn't bury it in sand either. I don't see how digging can destroy sand - that's what it is for!!! Besides, todays clue says it is going to be tough and they know there isn't going to be much snow by the time it is found.

I don't think it is in a piece of coal like someone said earlier. Diamonds don't actually come from coal.

Diamond in the rough would be a diamond hidden in a piece of coal....

Ever seen Aladdin? Aladdin was a poor man but was as great as royalty he was a diamond in the rough...does that make sense?

no that's just evil! as far as using your brain OR your legs, that's not quite how it was:

You may knit your brows on this one Or just trek up and down every hill Work your brain, your legs, it will be fun If you have some time to kill

it says either knit your brows OR trek and work your brain, your legs (using a comma instead of "and" like they do in headlines)
