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.

Yep Green, got it, both registered,same names, no problems! Thanks again!
oh, funny, I am instant messaging with an old friend of mine and he wanted to know why I did not go out with them last night. I told him "I needed to be with my cooler friends", he instant messages me back and says "Cooler friends? Are you saying we are not cool?"---I did not even think of it that way!--But I really enjoyed everyones company this whole week! THANKS!
Okay I am pretty much drunk after the games today I didnt make the rehash but am about to go back out i wanna know where everyone is now if they are out I am going to have to pick up the G/F but thats okay wheres the party? wanna ride???
I'm not sure I really buy into this experiment that was conducted today. If you buried something in the snow and the tape on it wasn't very sticky after 2 hours, how does that prove that the Medallion was put there that morning? It still would have been there at least a couple of hours and I'm sure that tape probably gets that way after 10 or 15 minutes. Plus, after the tape warmed up for a bit, it *did* get sticky again and could be removed and reapplied just as it was later on when the finder returned to the park.
If you really want to conduct an experiment, you'd have to
Make sure you had the same sort of tape that was actually used (different tapes may yield different results).
Let it sit outside for at least a week (the longer the tape is in contact with the item may have some bearing).
Let it warm up for a while before conducting the experiment. The Medallion had been found, probably put in a pocket, taken downtown and was inside the PP building for a while (and inside a heated car in the meantime). Then it was in a car again while on the way back to Merriam and thus had plenty of time to warm up.
The Medallion was not moved. It was at Merriam the whole time and the clues all describe Merriam just fine. If they wanted the hunt to end early for some reason, all they had to do was leave it right there on the baseball fields.
If the PP is revamping their website I don't think they would be so worried about inconveniencing the people using the water cooler that they would actually sabotage the entire hunt just to avoid it. They would just dump it on the IS people to figure out a solution.
I think the results of this hunt had more to do with carelessness and ignorance than with any sort of conspiracy. Had this hunt taken place 10 years ago and there had been a foot of snow on the ground, it would have gone at least 11 clues. Hardly anyone is familiar with Merriam and the few people who would have figured it out (which likely would not have included me without today's internet and the Treasure Hunter's Guide) would not have been enough to dig up those fields in a timely manner. So I say the result is due to ignorance in that the cluewriter (maybe someone who wrote them in the past?) didn't seem to take into account how much more readily available information is these days and how quickly that information gets passed around. Ad I say carelessness because it was apparent before the hunt began that the snow cover was in jeopardy. They had time to go back out there and pick it up and move it to a better hiding spot and then even rewrite a couple of the clues if need be. But they didn't and they really shouldn't be surprised it was found so quickly. After being out there today, if the hunt were still going on, you could see it sitting there without even having to dig, so it was inevitable.
So anyway, I go out of town Friday morning with the intention of hunting for the rest of the week, then BAM the damn thing is found! So I got all excited for this event and what happens? It is found before I was able to go out and look for it, AGAIN!! So yeah, I am depressed and greatly saddened that it was found. Was the person that found it a part of the cooler crew?
what i meant by that jim, is that those of us who are regulars here, stop by to chat year round. hence, we'll still be in here come june. not constantly though.
I will be there again really soon probably within th hour I hope anyway stop in anytime I may be there I am so upset for not making it to "reheash" but football came up
well, the hunt is over and you're still chatting, right? sounds like one of the cooler crew to me.
it was really nice when they had a thread called "shoot the breeze with the cooler crew". that's where we chatted for the other 50 weeks out of the year.
Ares-it is a Mock Hunt not a Bock Hunt -see AW's tag...isn't Bock a beer? will have to investigate that one...maybe the Mock Hunt will lead to a can of Bock Beer. :) then we will all hunt
Initiate me, me too, me too! (raising hand in the air) :)-just wanna be apart of the fun...I'll do it...I'm like Mikey, he'll try anything-just get me2, she'll do it!
it involves you showing up to an official cooler crew event (pre-dig gig, rehash bash, friday nite's sob party at mcg's) with a rubber chicken and a bottle of rubbing alcohol! lol!
Yep Green, got it, both registered,same names, no problems! Thanks again!

Why didnt they HIDE the medallion?

good point allison. but we like conspiracy theories here. lol!
DDY, Jake, and myself were the only Cooler people there last night. All the rest were the film crew people.
For all of you that will be here in June... go out and have some fun for the luv of god Live a little
Well, I should say DDY, Jake, myself, and you Jim. ;-)
what i meant by that jim, is that those of us who are regulars here, stop by to chat year round. hence, we'll still be in here come june. not constantly though.
Thanks dave HaHa
I will be there again really soon probably within th hour I hope anyway stop in anytime I may be there I am so upset for not making it to "reheash" but football came up
Anyway, I need to still go run my errand so I'll be back later.
Can I be a regular?
Have you gone through the initiation process yet?
well, the hunt is over and you're still chatting, right? sounds like one of the cooler crew to me.
it was really nice when they had a thread called "shoot the breeze with the cooler crew". that's where we chatted for the other 50 weeks out of the year.
Ares-it is a Mock Hunt not a Bock Hunt -see AW's tag...isn't Bock a beer? will have to investigate that one...maybe the Mock Hunt will lead to a can of Bock Beer. :) then we will all hunt
have you, rush? scribe forgot her chicken today.
Ohhhh Hell the initiation.... I was the first to say Longfellow this year
What is the initiation?>
Initiate me, me too, me too! (raising hand in the air) :)-just wanna be apart of the fun...I'll do it...I'm like Mikey, he'll try anything-just get me2, she'll do it!
Ares, I've been here since the year of Chair-o-Key, I've earned it!
it involves you showing up to an official cooler crew event (pre-dig gig, rehash bash, friday nite's sob party at mcg's) with a rubber chicken and a bottle of rubbing alcohol! lol!
isn't that what i was saying, me2?
And outta the mouth o'one-who's-had-too-much...
The Friggin' Million Dollar Question:
"Why didn't they hide the medallion?"
We'll be noodling that one into our graves.
and we'll have fun doing it, green!
There is no initiation, Jim.
You're in. Don't worry about it.
Can you believe it, Rush? I'm totally dumbfounded. Talk about unreal/surreal.
I apologize, if someone could update me, that would be ever so greatly appreciated. I know it was found between to baseball fields in Merriam.
My questions are:
1). What was it hidden in under, if anything?
2). Did a cooler crew member find it?
3). Was anyone from here close to where it was found?
4). It was found after 6, any chance of a second hunt from them?
rubbing alcohol? your boring...rubbing oil maybe :)
I guess I'll call work and tell them I can work after all
1) No.
2) Kind'a. He'd posted the nite bee4.
3) Yes. About 16 o'the Crew, including The Brown, walked on it (but it wasn't hidden yet...) before it was found. Allison had the park aced early on.
4) Get a life.
it was scribe's idea, me2.
man it's fun blaming things on those who aren't here to defend themselves. even if it is the truth! lol!
hahahahaha
They hid it in plain view?
Thanks green, your'e worse than I am!!
I will be back in a bit BYE
pretty much, rush.
ian, you still around?
I will be back in a bit BYE
i've heard that before, and somehow you never manage to leave.
