ok in clue 4 it mentios "but theres VALUE as WELL as IN the NEW. The Value is the medallion/location. and it IN NEWELL park. Todays clue a tome is a book

but it is also one of those pitchforks that a devil has. Devil can also go for as an iconoclast. And in Newell park there is a secret area there hidden by brush and pine

trees. That area is called Devil's Den. From there if i recall yeterday you can see the ks95 radio tower. There radio station # is 94.5. It can't get any simpler than that

so im going there to find it tonight. email me and tell me what you think.

oh, st polly, the precinct is like 4 or something i think i heard it before.

why don't you enlighten me on YOUR connection to the school house...because what i heard was somebody told me that it used to be called Webster Magnet

School #9...which is a false misleading statement because it was never called that, it was mattocks school house if you read the plaque...and webster magnet is at

707 holly ave in st paul near selby/dale...i used to go there too.

Well, all you diggers! Go get your triple lattes tonight! It's going to be a long evening and a fun weekend.

Does anyone else have the line from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in their heads? Indie's Egyptian friend says after looking at the RIGHT map "THEY'RE DIGGING IN

THE WRONG PLACE!" Best of luck !

Try using all the letters out of iconoclast when converting to locations. It doesn't work.

sign up.

Hi, just got here... what seems to be the general concensus today as to where to dig? I am thinking Newell still... but intend to look around BC too... what other

ideas are circulating in your heads... and why?

I'd be one of those getting paid to surf the Cooler. Work gets pretty slow, and I don't go diggin until at least clue # 8 or 9. I do go look at each park though.

And on Newell- the clues sure fit in all right, JUST WAY TOO EASY!!!! They just don't make it that easy so soon. What would be the point? No, use your

imagination and see if you can get meaning from the clues other than what seems obvious

IRVINE PARK??!?!? Ha! I live there, People dig there EVERY year, regardless of the clue, It's not there.... NO SPORTS AT ALL.....
