Glowing Translucent implies glowing from within, no? I don't think it fits if the glowing comes from lights shining on the object from outside. Good Evening Mr.

Hollywood - No e-mail here yet.

Translucent would be see through but not clear.

The cathedral dome is copper and lit from outside.

The Capitol dome is also lit from outside. Not sure of the material, but ittiz not translucent.

Going fro for a minute. Need to get winterized.

The Cathedral also lights up at night, but I don't know if the effect is translucent.....its more opaque..Capitol has same effect. Wouldn't hiding it in a baseball tend to

point to a baseball field???

Do you all think that the incoclast could mean they are doing something totally illegal in the "medallion rules"? Like making a few different ones and hiding them at

different parks? The clues don't seem to be narrowing it down to one place this year!!

Correct. Transluscent means passing light, but not transparent--like those glass blocks people have in their basements, or the squiggle glass on your third grade

classroom. Don't like light tower at Mounds, that is a light source.....Look for something glass like I spose

Coldtoes - pretty astute observation about breaking medallion rules... perhaps too intelligent for people in a state that has a pro wrestler as a governor

Capitol dome is marble Ter.... Translucent would have to be lit from within,glowing through a cloudy/misty material.
