Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

There's a hill you would use your brains for instead of your legs for trekking through.
OK...I am sticking with the idea that it IS on a hill. I read the thing like 100 times, I think the word "one" refers to a specific hill...Don't know where or which one.
then it says if you have time to kill, just trek up and down every hill (maybe you will run across something.)
Yeah...I'm sticking to that. Otherwise I just confuse myself!!
It would be pretty funny...unless of course there were real vets there...oops...I would dress up like a Vet...a navy seal vet er umm wasn't it a mascot or something like that ???
To "knit your brows" was first coined by Shakespeare. Anyone know which play? It wasn't MacBeth was it, a Scottish play, for the Highland High School Scots was it?
Was that Rush or Step, You hit the nail on the head ! This clue is tellin us either use your brain or to go treking up and down all kinds of hills......If you have time to kill.
yet another idea that just hit me: it might just be irrelevant. how many of us have at least been out scouting parks without the faintest clue of where its at? a lot of time killed doing that.
Check out definition #2...Double meaning with the word "brow"????

Randy - I don't know about dressing up like Navy Seals, I was scoping out the mall area and wow- I couldn't disrespect our armed forces like that - even Jesse. Besides, I don't think Jesse is smart or clever enough to figure out that we're mocking him.

Like I've said before, if he's within a shovel's distance away from me, I will crack my shovel over his empty head. Maybe we should dress up - just to entice him.
There sure has been a lot of good noodling going on in here.. I really like the idea of staying on top of the hill... I am pulling away from Capitol Hill I don't think that is a park.
I keep wondering about the HI exclusion. My guess is that the clues that follow will reference the river and the clue writer wanted to get it out in the open that HI will NOT be the place....therefore, based on this hunch, the treasure will be at a park that is near the river.
There's a hill you would use your brains for instead of your legs for trekking through.
Its in the historical museum I think
especially since none of us knows where it is at the moment!
That was what I was thinking...but wasn't sure. That can be seen from the Capital Mall.
I'm thinking this hunt may take awhile.
Yawn......I say Cherokee....hwy Rush...hey Ares...hey all

SO Rush....we gonna dress up like Navy Seal vets and go dig up the capitol???? Hunt for man and drink some vodka and orange crush??
Hey, gang! I just finished reading I think 600 message or so from Friday when I left. You guys have really been noodling.
hey rust. i would love to see you guys do that. from a distance of course :)
When the Heck Is MOM gonna pop for the cha-ching for live chat???
Hey randy...digger.
td, if you only read 600 messages you missed a lot!
Quick in and quick out. My 1 o'clock appointment just walked in and I didn't even have a chance to post my thoughts. DARN!!!!
Now, I'll have to read 600 more by the time I check back in. Will check back. Bye.

Mike...good thought brb
Hi Stepp
Was that Rush or Step, You hit the nail on the head ! This clue is tellin us either use your brain or to go treking up and down all kinds of hills......If you have time to kill.
Riv - that was me. That's what I think...use our brain to nail a specific hill...or just go trekin'.
I come up with A.E. Housman the poet not shakespeare...brb

Good work Step dogg. The brow of a hill??? Don't go up and down the hill stay on top
MIKE>>>>IT was Hamlet
I'm just a bill, I am only a bill, and I'm sitting here on capital Hill
YES Daddy!! Good addition! k, I am hooked on a hill now.
Thanks, the top of a hill thing fits pretty well.
OH New Daddy - very clever
Randy - I don't know about dressing up like Navy Seals, I was scoping out the mall area and wow- I couldn't disrespect our armed forces like that - even Jesse. Besides, I don't think Jesse is smart or clever enough to figure out that we're mocking him.
good work step!
he either wouldn't figure it out, rush, or he'd come out and hunt back!

"...brows on this one". Make it a verb (browse) and you could send everyone off on an internet wild goose chase. Try www.onthisone.com.
Not! Rush is right, don't waste your time.
Like I've said before, if he's within a shovel's distance away from me, I will crack my shovel over his empty head. Maybe we should dress up - just to entice him.
ROFL PMP RUSH.....he wouldn't have a clue would he??
Samsa- right on man - you know what's up.
There sure has been a lot of good noodling going on in here.. I really like the idea of staying on top of the hill... I am pulling away from Capitol Hill I don't think that is a park.
Yeah, why waste your time scouting out parks this early on, it's a waste of time....but not if you have time to kill.
nice riv...yeah, naming parks right now is pretty pointless but having hunches makes things fun.
there are only about 2 billion hills in st. paul...that would sure qualify as "working your legs and killing time"!
Right, just keep all your ideas in check and when the time comes your ready to hit the right park.
well step, you can leave out the 1.9 billion hills that aren't in a park.
I keep wondering about the HI exclusion. My guess is that the clues that follow will reference the river and the clue writer wanted to get it out in the open that HI will NOT be the place....therefore, based on this hunch, the treasure will be at a park that is near the river.
I would again like to state that the first clue is extremely poorly written. especially the second and third lines
"Let the medallion search in you light a spark
Far and wide take your hunt, have no fear"
These lines make some grammatical sense when read alone, but when read together they don't flow very well.
I also noticed that if you take the last word from each of the four lines it reads Here Spark Fear Park.
Steve - That would be Cherokee, Mounds, Kellogg?
Don't forget the other one Terry.
Hidden Falls
So here goes another brow knitting idea.
What if it's hidden at Mounds and the clue is telling us to stay off the "hills" unless we want to waste time?
Couldn't the knit your brow refer to maybe what it's hidden in, possibly a wool hat, knitted and covers your brows
