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.
In other words, don't follow the tradition of the past sites, which means that it actually could be Como or it's in a completely different park where it's never been hidden.
A house just off pierce butler and Newell displays large black address X95. Newell still looking good even though very early. No sliding or golf enhances it's appeal. Iconoclastic reasoning would place it at a small park.
Hey Joe - tell birdie I got kicked out and couldn't view messages for about 1/2 hour. I've got a contingent going out tomorrow at about 10:00 pm - if the bird doesn't stumble on it tonight. Tell bird to e-mail me at Saintly B@aol.com. We had NP since #2.
I know you people think you have it all right but I think I know the answer!! Here it goes, A blast from the past would be the battle of Lexington (lexington st !!!). the battle of lexington is also the first battle of the revolutionary war!! Which is a iconoclast. If anybody thinks like me respond please :-) HEy by the way newell is only ten acres that is not a lot? Lexington goes into hp and como
To say its at Newell you basically have to interpret the first two clues as telling you about things that the park doesn't have. This seems like a bit of a stretch, especially with #2. I think its easier to fit the clues to Como. Yet the WELL...NEW in Clue #4 is hard to totally discount too.
Hmm... There's a lot pointing everywhere. Newell appears to have a lot of numeric influence. But, people, I reiterate, they DO NOT TELL YOU WHAT'S NOT NEAR UNLESS THE SITE HAS SOME SORT OF CORRELATION WITH WHAT'S MENTIONED. Most of the allusions to "iconoclast" that I've seen are wrong, too. an iconoclast is a destroyer, not a "don't listen to past hunts" direction.
On another note, perhaps the medallion is in a 'shout' detergent container? I can't seem to find anything else that alludes to this, and there's usually something by now.
Also, I'd like to take this time to voice my disapproval this year on the lack of maintainence of the equipment running this web bulletin board. It needs work. Perhaps someone up in the rafters can hear this and contact me for some better sounding solutions.
The people I know who work at Como may kill me for saying this, but the conservatory was just remodeled. It is a thing of the past which is also now new. They also have new pavilions on the picnic grounds.
Anyone recall who the William Wallace (type) band of people were that were iconoclasts--ravaging the countryside/// sided against the Catholic church of england? I recall them being called the "HIGHLANDERS!!" They destroyed churches and ICONS!!!
The best night of noodling yet. Newell is strong with its "well in the new" reference, but it really is hard to rule out Como, as well as any of the little parks where it hasn't been found yet. Fat words like "iconoclast" are fun -- I love it that someone almost got "a lost coin" out of it (where's the second "c"?). This clue is basically saying to me that past ideas like finding patterns used in choosing the hiding place and having all clues point to the right park can go out the window (so I think you're on the right track, Allison Wonderland). The first couple of clues could actually be elimination clues, something we usually don't see.
Marsh: Good stuff, gonna scope some maps and follow up.
I must say, though, that I wish I had looked at Newell a while back, at least to get an idea of what's going on. I'm definately going to run by there tonight... err... this morning (I do readjust my body clock for this event. :)
Hey is anybody hearing me ??????????? ALLISON do you agree with the battle of lexington being the blast from the past and lex st goes into como and hp??? the battle of lex was the first battle of the rev war!!!!!!! that is for sure an iconoclast. ANYONE A revolutionist is also a iconoclast
I'm still curious as to why people will find one aspect in one clue and run off with their shovels. I'm still not finding continuity in como, phalen, or newell. I am finding a bit of stability around Highland. There's a lot of things that I can't overlook in Newell, Phalen, and Como, aye, but it's just too much of a string hanging for me to say, "Hey!! There's one piece of info that fits that place! It's there!! I'm sure of it!" So far, I've not fit in a "numbers keep score" allusion to any place BUT Highland.
Anyone know if that Perkins on Ford Pkwy is open late?
I still think clue #3 will tie this up more tidy once someone figures out what address has a 9, 5, and 4. I doubt it's a house address. They used to do that back in the dayz, but I don't think that would fly these days. "I'll sue yer asses if'n you use my address" comes to mind. Have I missed a solid address discussion re: "adorn the front door" ???
Studing the past can be quite a blast.... But theres value as well in the new... (simply put says stay away from newell) just another elimination clue!!
if you people dont think that zachary taylor......president 150 years ago...... same as papers anniversary .....isnt the thinking in the past and the new does not mean newell you are on the wrong track.......IT IS AT NEWELL
where does 4 fit in, dave.
where u coming from dave
Can somebody tell me if there is a large park that they have never hidden the medallion in?
newell is the place
Can any one PLEASE tell me how to get to...
NEWELL PARK
From the east side? POST GOD PI$)(#*$)(%* U..
Outside the front door to the building of newell is adorned by 4 pillars.
Iconolast - A LOST COIN!!! Cute!
Dave: Newell because...?
I think the 4th clue is telling us to break tradition.
..."it's not at highland"... Why? And why am I wrong? What the hell, Jorge, you had better <censored> READ what I'm saying, you ignorant retard.
I'm still mulling through clues before I go out. Anyone perhaps want to collaborate around Highland, then perhaps scope out other parks?
-Matt
Dave - you going out tonite or tomorrow ? Has birdie left already?
In other words, don't follow the tradition of the past sites, which means that it actually could be Como or it's in a completely different park where it's never been hidden.
Swede Hollow Baby!!!! I knew it. Ha Ha Ha
birdie has been gone for a long time i on the phone with him right now he saids ways up

in 1984 it was at newell and it still went down to the last clue.....it is not that tiny of a park
I'm going to NP to check it out, this shall be cool!!
newell park is on pierce butler route and fairview.
Do yall think it could be at Como, or do you think its most probably at Newell??? Help me outttttttt!!!
Hey Joe - tell birdie I got kicked out and couldn't view messages for about 1/2 hour. I've got a contingent going out tomorrow at about 10:00 pm - if the bird doesn't stumble on it tonight. Tell bird to e-mail me at Saintly B@aol.com. We had NP since #2.
I'm not betting on Newell
Sorry, y'all. What exactly is the attraction there, anyway?
I know you people think you have it all right but I think I know the answer!! Here it goes, A blast from the past would be the battle of Lexington (lexington st !!!). the battle of lexington is also the first battle of the revolutionary war!! Which is a iconoclast.

I'm thinkin its either Como or Newell, but don't ask me why I think that haha!

what about the second line with the word "new" as in NEWell park?
The people I know who work at Como may kill me for saying this, but the conservatory was just remodeled. It is a thing of the past which is also now new. They also have new pavilions on the picnic grounds.
Anyone recall who the William Wallace (type) band of people were that were iconoclasts--ravaging the countryside/// sided against the Catholic church of england? I recall them being called the "HIGHLANDERS!!" They destroyed churches and ICONS!!!

sharkcage - call me
what will the next clue be ?

think your reaching marshmello
So--any ideas on my HIGHLANDERS theory--they were iconoclasts??
think you need a history lesson dave
Finally, Sax to the rescue.

hey bill king like the highlanders i can check my cmp encyclopedia to get more info. If you know anymore please tell !!!!!!!!!
Newell Park seems like the best bet.
Iconoclast probably just stomps the feeling that they would hide it in a big park this year.
Studing the past can be quite a blast.... But theres value as well in the new... (simply put says stay away from newell) just another elimination clue!!
if you people dont think that zachary taylor......president 150 years ago...... same as papers anniversary .....isnt the thinking in the past and the new does not mean newell you are on the wrong track.......IT IS AT NEWELL
there is your history lesson marshmello
