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.
Diggin' Queen
spark=sparky the seal, I was the 1 who brought up the cocoa thing
Mounds Park huh I will be there riding my bike up tommorrow in the morning to search :) I hope its there since I will spend about 2-3 hours looking there if I have to. guess I will need to bring my snacks along.
Alright kiddies...time for this tired soul to hit the hay...been up 36 hours and can't take any more noodling...good night, good luck, and for God Sakes! BYOB!
Clue 4- Well it's near the fair. you can prolly see the tip of the space needle, which is in the air. Anybody confirm seeing a broadcasting tower from there? No airports nearby so that interpretation wouldn't fit.
clue 3- time and tide?? dunno... fun and slide as in playground, which fits. Carnival hunters pride... well there are lots of animals at the zoo which hunt, also the fair nearby (carnival). Fits so-so I guess
clue 2- Hills, woods- yes.
clue 1- St. Paul park - yes.
I'd say it's a resonable guess at this point. what did I miss?
snake- that's why I always dig at highland because it *always* seems to fit the first few clues. highland or mounds is always on my list for the first few....
I'm with teddy here (despite my bias against that giant snow pit called highland park :). I get the feeling they were describing terrain rather than naming a park. even though I did spend half an hour driving around highland park today...
I still think the Time & Tide refers to either Era (Time) or Tide detergent box - one that perhaps would hold enough soap from a dispenser at the launderamat would be about the right size for the Medallion wouldn't it?
Bingo Annie! The tide detergent box/bottle was exactly what I had thought for awhile.... then I was thinking a knitted item like a mitten. now I just rip open anything I find laying on the ground :)
snake, why mears? bcuz of the clock? bcuz of the YMCA's working your legs? Bcuz the knitting factory somewhere in Lowertown area? What else would point to Mears in these clues? Would love to think it could be so close to look.
well time for me to say g'night all... got to work in the AM... maybe I'll try to sneak back sometime during work or later tomorrow. have a good night and good luck!
Queen- to throw people off. How could they *not* name a park like "highland" using word games like that? Lots of people are bound to see it that way whether it's right or not.... just my thoughts...
MW, I realize that. I'm really trying not to think about it. And trust me Como is close to my house, and hp is not. so I wouldn't mind if it were there, but I just don't think so.
spark=sparky the seal, I was the 1 who brought up the cocoa thing
there is kiddie airplanes at como isn't there ?
Mounds Park huh I will be there riding my bike up tommorrow in the morning to search :) I hope its there since I will spend about 2-3 hours looking there if I have to. guess I will need to bring my snacks along.
da brew did you find it??
they used to be helicopters not airplanes
yes sparky the seal at como there is sliding hills
YEAH...MY BACKYARD FITS TOO
Alright kiddies...time for this tired soul to hit the hay...been up 36 hours and can't take any more noodling...good night, good luck, and for God Sakes! BYOB!
Ok Como-
Clue 4- Well it's near the fair. you can prolly see the tip of the space needle, which is in the air. Anybody confirm seeing a broadcasting tower from there? No airports nearby so that interpretation wouldn't fit.

clue 1- St. Paul park - yes.

newell park they all fit
I really can't go 4 como though. I still like highland park
how so MM?
you make tides in the pool at como the winter carnival is there
LIKE I SAID...MY BACKYARD FITS PERFECT...I THINK I'LL START DIGGIN
where does one find a treasure hunters guide?
Time and tide, fun and slide= High and Land = highland. that is just to much to be a coinincidence
Diggin' Queen' I speculate when they came out it was WAY to early to name a park...even a big one.
Seriously though, I'm leaving...good night, BYOB
snake- that's why I always dig at highland because it *always* seems to fit the first few clues. highland or mounds is always on my list for the first few....
nite teddy
WHERE IS JAKE
kids slide by devels den fairview streeet space needdle fairgrounds
I still think they could very sneakily name the park. only a few would figure it out. I didn't, some1 else did.
I'm with teddy here (despite my bias against that giant snow pit called highland park :). I get the feeling they were describing terrain rather than naming a park. even though I did spend half an hour driving around highland park today...
I STILL THINK IT MAY BE MEARS PARK
I still think the Time & Tide refers to either Era (Time) or Tide detergent box - one that perhaps would hold enough soap from a dispenser at the launderamat would be about the right size for the Medallion wouldn't it?
small park to be at this year, no doubt
Bingo Annie! The tide detergent box/bottle was exactly what I had thought for awhile.... then I was thinking a knitted item like a mitten. now I just rip open anything I find laying on the ground :)
Allright everyone, start thinking "landmarks". I would say in years past a landmark was stated at or before clue 4, so think landmarks.
Like some one said before if it was at a park with a golf course it was made clear right of way every year True?
GO TO AOL...PRIVATE ROOM..."HUNTERS CHAT" FOR QUICKER CHATTING
snake, why mears? bcuz of the clock? bcuz of the YMCA's working your legs? Bcuz the knitting factory somewhere in Lowertown area? What else would point to Mears in these clues? Would love to think it could be so close to look.
well time for me to say g'night all... got to work in the AM... maybe I'll try to sneak back sometime during work or later tomorrow. have a good night and good luck!
Annie, too bright=too easily found
Snowballs, why then if they were playing the word game would they inadvertantly name an actual park?
MM, I could buy off on the last clue fitting there, but what about the rest of them?
Its not at mears. Get it out of your head. It will never be there. The park is one block square in size with about 13 hiding spots total.
SCD's Balls
YOUR KNOW... THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBLE PARKS...THERE IS A STREAM THERE...HILLS..ITS WAY TOO EARLY TO START DIGGING
ok, CM what's your take on this????
The park hasn't been named yet either...it never has before so why now, that is why i am against Highland. Como fits pretty darn well.
COMO, MY BACK YARD, HIGHLAND, MOUNDS...THEY ALL FIT...ITS TOO SOON
Queen- to throw people off. How could they *not* name a park like "highland" using word games like that? Lots of people are bound to see it that way whether it's right or not.... just my thoughts...
Now I'm really going to bed.... night all!
But can anyone see a street name yet in any of the clues?
MW, I realize that. I'm really trying not to think about it. And trust me Como is close to my house, and hp is not. so I wouldn't mind if it were there, but I just don't think so.
No never have I found it. Does anybody know what time Cathi found it last year?
I don't think it is at Como either, but that is the best fit so far anyway. It will all change by tomorrow.
I FOUND IT...AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN
early in the morning, shortly after I left from digging about 5 feet from where she found it. aaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you think about Crosby..... "we are game to play" Elway Street and Gannon Road. Also a radio station and you can see the airplanes.
Ohh, that sounds really good. Elway and Gannon hunh?
NH, how do the rest of the clues fit?
