1999 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt

It's time for the Medallion Hunt! The first clue will appear on PioneerPlanet just after midnight Saturday, Jan. 22. Come back here to compare notes with other treasure seekers, but be certain you read the rules on the Planet's Winter Carnival page.

im still thinking the 9,5,and 4 are ALL objects... especially since the used the word "somewhere" and not "sometime".... and i still think 4 + "shout" = "fore and

golfing"

Yep...but usually they narrow down a park, and most of the time at least a couple of the things CAN be taken at face value w/o reading into them too much...a

fundamental error a lot of people make. NP still looks good.

Dont you get it? They don't even hide it until we have thought of every possibility, ten some dolt who has been looking for about 5 minutes says "Hey what's this?"

Every time! :) hehe

in clue 5 it says ' your treasure chest could end up full...', i am sure that the medallion is in a chest like the ones they hid back before 1957.

Highland is the wrong way, i guarntee. It's not reasonable enuf. Where does St.Francis come out of the clues??

I agree that "four" and "shout" lead to a park with a golf course. but I also think that "shout" could lead to BC, as in battle cry

Ray, we may not be sharp, but we at least know the difference between "your" and "you're". Keep trying.

It's Michigan Tech, shouldn't bee too bad, they're both horrible this season.. Not one of MT's players has a plus rating, but they have a good goalie... DEFENSE!!

35e and get off at hwy 13; go east on 13 for less than a mile and make a right down the hill by the pool and yacht club. Why Lilydale?

It COULD be in a treasure chest, but I'm still certian it's hidden in a "Predator" movie case. And remember where it was you heard that!

Chief- they have fossils there- is it considered st. Paul? I know that Harriet is off of PLATO- who was an iconoclast, the two parks are listed together in the

phonebook

No user inform…

I always thought a tome was any large book, couple this with iconoclast and you could use some biblical references.

Lilydale is technically its own city; pop like 120 or something!

Tome is like a single volume of a set of books of many volumes; this one is baffling. How many predator movies were there???

parks... i must have heard cases for at least 10 different parks last night...
