Hey all highland people, Here is an idea as you all know highway 5 happens to run near the 9-hole golfcouse and I THINK the copshop right by there is presinct #4 there is your 9,5,and 4. I am keeping that in mind being that they are all right by eachother. What do you all think?

Sorry Rock I have to disagree with you on that interpretation. I just thought of something new for it. Who thought that doing dishes would be so useful?!?!?!?!?

I THINK THAT THE ROCK IS VERY CHILDISH ALSO. i believ that the medallion is in highland park. Newell is way to small. I am sorry about my actions, I got carried away from THEROCK. I want to find as bad as you do. WERE ALL FRIENDS. PERHAPS the next clue On Friday will help a lot:-> THE END

Thats a good Idea about precinct # 4, but i still am leaning toward Newell though.

does anyone know what year the first medallion was hid? was it in '52 or earlier? because knowing where the 1st one was hid could be a big help

also does anyone have any info on Snelling? who was he and was he Iconoclast? that is right by Highland HP '98

An iconoclast is a person that goes against previously held beliefs. It is also a person, or group of people, that do not believe in the use of icons in religion. My Webster told me all that.

Wright-- The jesse I dea was really good and to who it was who asked.. The icon.... in NP COULD BE that nobody THINKS they would hide it there being so small ect. so you may be an iconoclast if you go there?????? There are many good ideas out.

Iconoclast refers to anyone who is willing to believe they would hide it in Como again when it was there just two years ago. After all, it says YOU are the iconoclast.

live by hill murray, it sucks for treasure hunting. iconoclast is someone who challages what is accepted on blind faith without proof. like never repeating parks 2 years in a row. and for all your medallion research need, just go to www.coolercrew.com be a coolercrew member like me. he he.

BARB... I THINK its #4 but I would try to find out by someone else. But I heard the then it would all be tied together in that little area of highland.........

Ya I have never got to school during the hunt. but it sucks that I am in Milwaukee. My mom's Aunt found it one year but all the winnings went to the hosp. bill because so many shovels and picks hit her hand it crushed all the bones. --- when she found it it was the last day and everyboby knew where it was so it was 1000000 people in a small space fighting. even after all that she still kept hunting years later. also my Grandma created a button, beer can... for the winter car. (Jest Fest.) it's yellow / gold with a purple jester. so yes is the answer to your simple question

OK, THE SHELTER WITH THE DOOR IS VERY HARD TO SEE BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY TREES AND BRUSH AROUND IT. THEN PAST THAT THERE IS EVEN A LOWER AREA. I HAVEN'T DUG YET CAUSE I JUST WENT THERE TO SCOPE OUT EVERYTHING AT NP. VERY INETERESTING THINGS I FOUND. ITS AT NEWWELL AND I WILL BET MY BOTTOM DOLLAR ON IT JUST FROM THE THINGS I FOUND AND SAW.
