The Pioneer Press medallion has been found. Details are at our Winter Carnival page.
The hunt's over, but the discussion rages on ...
Alan and Jill
Okay, Everyone now knows it's at CP. Now for the container - what are we looking for? A pasta box, Pace Picante container, Bakery box,... Any other ideas?
But it's not enough reason for me to head out there tonight. I was hoping they would narrow down the area in which to search. Instead they just confirm my park pick.
....wasn't Eddie Mounds the chair of the Minnesota Senate Education Committee back in the '60s?...and Division St. divides in two...those mounds look like pyramids if you lie on your back....
Woman & I-- that sounds promising, since Winona is only two blocks from Annapolis (line of double division)... How about the baseball field at the corner of Chippewa & Annapolis? Three bases? Probably not...
1st time...The building at CP has three distinct Pyramid looking Roofs that house it. From the right vantage point they look like Giza... and if you line them up just right you can see NSP smokestack over the middle one and the sledding are directly behind you. Large object (big rock??) just to your left as you look at smoke stack....
Rob I'm confused!? I'm goin' nuts with this thang! I was out at Highland last nite untill 5 am and was soped by a policeman what are you doing out here I guess I was driving to slow tring to figure out the pyramid thang!
Hey, you know the rosebud clue? there is a rosebud on an altoids container. {hey its as good as anything? oh oh wait a minute. im looking at my parks book here. in mounds there is a big chair and a big key of statues. houston we have a problem. and there are pyramid look a like objects about 25 feet way back in the park. {going down for a crash landing.}
Ok everyone I know I need to either proof read these or spell check I was Stopped by a Policeman while I was driving, Trying to to figure out the pyramid Thang! hahaha
BJ, we're "offline" tonight, no live updates. No info on the rumors, but until I hear it/see it here, I'm planning the next outing. It seems the rumors always fly at this point in the hunt, I thought it was found last night by three guys in a van at Mounds (with a candlestick)?
ok everyone i just came from both CP and mounds. about 10-20 at mounds and about a couple dozen at CP. The medallion is still out there and no one i repeat no one has the slightes clue where to look. to me both parks didnt look that dug up. people kept looking in the spots that r already dug up. what a buch of idiots. im waiting till dawn to go. Its supposed to be sunny out
I knowexactly where it is so im leaving now. first one there gets it. first you have to be able to see all of the items. {large object-the rock, over the middle pyramid there is the smoke stack, and the domes especially the DECO part on the capital. once all of that is found find an object that it could be by and start digging. see ya later.
I did a search on "Web Master" ... the first post from this name is the one that just appeared. With the link to the e-mail address webmaster@pioneerplanet.com it's either a very clever hoax or that's all she wrote. I wouldn't be surprised. The hiding spot was obviously near the 3-pyramid shelter off of Annapolis. My guess is the spot lined up with the NSP stack and a view of the Cathedral (or some other dome). Last night at about 2:00 a.m., the area was in a sort of first-run dig effort except for a pristine patch of snow on the north side of Annapolis. BUT, where Mounds was completely leveled, there were still plenty of piles of snow to sort through at Cherokee. And an Altoids tin could be spotted easily in the dark.
Wait a minute gang, let's not jump the gun. First off, it's NOT on the main page. I think they would post it there BEFORE this post room, but...Also, SAX, did you "finger" the post in question?

People are always leaving in a hurry, hooting as they leave, and honking their horns. Historically, the people who find it leave real quietlike because 1) they still can't believe they have it, and 2) they're worried that they'll be mauled and beaten with shovels by a throng of tired diggers.
Okay, Everyone now knows it's at CP. Now for the container - what are we looking for? A pasta box, Pace Picante container, Bakery box,... Any other ideas?
Anyone have any good theories about pyramids in Chairokey?
Ditto! 1st time hunter!!!!!!
Seems like this server is getting busy. Having hard time getting through. Great job 1st time hunter.
1st timer, there's a building near Winona street that has three pyramids for it's roof - it's very obvious.
we knew it all along, huh gs2?
But it's not enough reason for me to head out there tonight. I was hoping they would narrow down the area in which to search. Instead they just confirm my park pick.
....wasn't Eddie Mounds the chair of the Minnesota Senate Education Committee back in the '60s?...and Division St. divides in two...those mounds look like pyramids if you lie on your back....
rumor has it that it has been found at chair-0-key park. people there are waiting for a squad to arrive and give the official announcement.
Woman & I-- that sounds promising, since Winona is only two blocks from Annapolis (line of double division)... How about the baseball field at the corner of Chippewa & Annapolis? Three bases? Probably not...
Yeah I think it is safe to say Joe Medallion has reached his bedtime, quite a while ago.
landmark beer
top of the building
Whose going out tonight to dig? We were out earlier. Everything is pretty compacted. Hoes or rakes seem to be the tool of choice.
BJ, LOL....I also was hoping it would narrow, but alas we suffer until #10 or #11 again. I think I've lost my job ;-) Luck.
Is anyone writing here from CP? (Beeyob?) An update on the rumors would be helpful.

I live 2 blocks from CP I know it like the back of my hand, if anyone wants to ask me anything about CP feel fee.
I would go look for it but I have school tomorrow! :(
First time, just take that pyramid clue for its face value and nothing more. It only tells you that it's at Cherokee because of that building.
Hey, you know the rosebud clue? there is a rosebud on an altoids container. {hey its as good as anything? oh oh wait a minute. im looking at my parks book here. in mounds there is a big chair and a big key of statues. houston we have a problem. and there are pyramid look a like objects about 25 feet way back in the park. {going down for a crash landing.}
Screw the broken Car and work in the morning, I say it's time to take a cab and spend the night at Cherokee!!! See YA There!!!
The Woman Headed down to CP a half hour ago .... no word yet.
Ok everyone I know I need to either proof read these or spell check I was Stopped by a Policeman while I was driving, Trying to to figure out the pyramid Thang! hahaha
Green, battery went dead. If you get back on and want to go offline, let me know
Let's all hope this thing stays alive for another couple of days. It's nice to have a fun distraction. See you on here tomorrow!
Good hunting! And to my fellow CHEROKEE BELIEVERS...WE HAVE PREVAILED!!!
Huntress What are you thinking?!!!!!!
BJ, we're "offline" tonight, no live updates. No info on the rumors, but until I hear it/see it here, I'm planning the next outing. It seems the rumors always fly at this point in the hunt, I thought it was found last night by three guys in a van at Mounds (with a candlestick)?
Robert Erickson well, what do you think about it in a pasta box "La Rosa" ? & where is landmark?
Goes to show you, you can't believe everything you see or read.
everyone look at #4334 and look what i had to say it may be awhile till someone finds it
I agree w/ you giddyup. On top of the hill at CP, but you need a pickaxe to dig up there.
the old brewery on 7th st
by the high bridge
Ok Rob What's Up?
ok everyone i just came from both CP and mounds. about 10-20 at mounds and about a couple dozen at CP. The medallion is still out there and no one i repeat no one has the slightes clue where to look. to me both parks didnt look that dug up. people kept looking in the spots that r already dug up. what a buch of idiots. im waiting till dawn to go.

Hey Rob, read #4343 for your answer...

Rob Norris So what do think? Is it found? or could it still be out there?
Attention VALENTINE and CLARK, and other DISBELIEVERS:
That WEB MASTER note has an E-Mail address from the pioneerplanet;
therefore, it's definitely an official announcement -- the medallion has been found.
Wher do we go to see such message, foregive my mistrust, but this is my 1st time at this,
I'm downtown... I'll run down and ask if it has been found. I will also bring copy of page. Be back in a bit.
I'm tired & I want to go to bed. I had a drink about an hour ago....
and it's going straight to my head...
I think joke. What do you see here?
How's the kidney stones, Cher?
Wait a minute gang, let's not jump the gun. First off, it's NOT on the main page. I think they would post it there BEFORE this post room, but...Also, SAX, did you "finger" the post in question?
