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.
wolfpac
Looking forward to seeing you fine folks again. This year the hunter has wheels so watch out.
The furnace guy is here now. Soon there will be heat - I hope!
wolffpac, instead of refreshing the page after you've posted, click on the blue number next to the last post's name...so like if you click on the first 203 or 205...that 203 would be blue, that will refresh the page from that point forward and you'll be able to see the rest of the posts that have been posted.
The furnace is running. The guy was here about 5 minutes. Some heat sensor thing needed to be dusted off and sanded down a bit. Good money for the time...but it's worth it to me to be warm.
Bet was your celinoid... Our furnace quit running. Yust stopped dead... Called NSP as (ah, hem...) the gas had just recently been turned [back] on... Not an NSP prob and NO CHARGE - thank gods. Guy said we had to call a furnace guy. Yeah. Rite. In his and my dreams!
Brown went down and banged on things - literally! Thought the house was gonna fall down! He banged on some thighy the gas comes out on the furnace... Sumpin' like that.
And, VIOLA!!!! Furnace came back on and has run like a clock since!!! And I didn't have to work Hennepin to pay for it!!!
Our furnace is just 5 years old. We had it cleaned and checked about 3 years ago. I guess we should have had it tuned up here this fall. This wouldn't have happened.
CCR, I said whut I meant. I refuse to acknowledge those west coast jokers that moved in here and raised my rates sky-high.
And frum what I've xperienced... The NSP workers don't wanna acknowledge they work for "the enema" company either...
Happy Noodling, 'Heads! I gots to go fur awhile... Making Chicken With Lemon and Sour Cream fur din (no, Ter, it does SNOT take four hours...!) and gotta do/bake the Spritz and put the icing in the Thumb Print Cookies; as well as make more Chocolate Rum Balls...
I'll prolly bee bock when everbuddy's sleeping... I prolly won't sleep until sometime Christmas Day...
Where is the clue? I can't find the clue. It is past midnight, where is the clue?
Green- I don't know what in the world you are talking about. I don't stay up late or miss school. You must be mistakin' me with jim_the_hunter(aka my uncle, aka wolffpac)
I think the medallion will be on top of the old Highland water tower. Someone should go scout it out. Hehehehe.
1. Capital Mall. I just think that this is the year the go back to the capital.
2. Harriet Island. My initial GUESS. No reason to get rid of it, it is still a guess.
3. Como. Frog pond. Come on, this pretty much would make sure that the coolerheads would not be close, and therefore makes sure that darn camera crew won't either. Plus, we all love conspiracy theories, and this one is kinda fun. It involves us. In fact I think I am going diggin ther the first night.
4. All the rest of the public ground in Ramsey county. Again folks, ther have been no clues, and all the little "rules" we have created from expierience don't really work. It could be in Como for the next ten years and some would not catch on. It could be at a small park ten straight years and no one would catch on. It could be at a rec center, library, courthouse or any other public ground not specifically outlawed in the official rules or in the first few clues. I almost expect them to throw a kink in this year. Some people *caugh* Jake, think they are going outside of St. Paul, either way, no one can really say.
Lets just hope for snow. Otherwise there is no fun for us.
Here's my guess for this year...I'm guessing if its gonna be a big park this year its gonna be Highland, Phalen or Battle Creek. but hey those are always on the top of everyones list.
Then you got the little parks, or random spots i'm thinking about not a park this year. (1958-Under Highway 61 Bridge, 1962-Along Mississippi street. 1963-Caroll, Jefferson, Farrington and Rondo Street. 1969-Victoria Street and I-35E.) Those are all the places it was hidden that was not a park!!! But as you can see the last time it was not hidden at a park was 1969 so now that i think about it i guess a park is probably a semi sure bet. Yup i just double checked my sheets and it has been at a park ever since 1970 so i'm sure it'll be another park this year.
The hunt Hasn't been at phalen since 1983 but the gates are usually closed at night and parking sucks around the lake if you can't get into the parking lot.
Highlands last hunt was 1994 and Battle Creek was 1995
well this is just my random thoughts nothing special....
I don't know if I buy the big park/little park way of thinking. Last year they narrowed it down to west picnic grounds pretty quick, in fact before they confirmed it was como. I don't know about highland, phalen, or bc, but if they narrow it down to such a small section of a big park, it really isnt a big park n e more. Glad to see others are noodling though!!! Especially at odd hours of the night! IF I haven't met ya "ya dig" maybe we will meet this year. I will be the one with the medallion in my pocket.
MERRY HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE, 'HEADS!!!!! Yust a few hours and Santa comes!!!
Very nice duecey palamino "Joe!", J.T.!!!
Oh, Timmers! To have your youth and passion for The Hunt. Up all nite and back at early in the AM! You lucky dog!
Hay, Ya Dig! Nice to see ya! Would you call Conway a small park? I would. Tho, technically, ittiz a "rec center." But, the square footage, I mean... I couldn't believe The Med was there (1999); I figured it would have been in a larger park. And Newell's pretty dinky, don't you think? And what about Chair O'Key? Come to think o'it, ittizn't all that big.
Seems to me, Como - this year - was the first time since I've started hunting it *was* in a larger-ish park... The others, to me, are pretty small...
I think the days of The Med being hidden someplace other than a large-ish place that's specifically given over to public gathering(s), i.e., parks small and large, are behind us. Too many folks hunting these days - so many more than back in the '60s.
Granted, that's me using logic and anybuddy here will tell you I've not a modicum o'logic in my pea-sized brain!!!
Timmers, *usually* the clues are like an inverted pyramid - wide-open at the top, tapering down to the "tip"-off...
You'll only have The Med in YOUR pocket if you steal it outta MINE!!! :D
Tim - You're thinking good stuff. Not many rules so just about anything is a possibility. The exceptions would be Maplewood, golf courses, private land, and the Indian burial mounds. After that just about anything could/would/will/happen.
I don't watch much tv anymore . Especially game shows, but I recently bought an RCA portable 5 inch color tv to set next to my monitor so I can watch the games and stuff while on-line. As I was scanning through channels. I came across Family Fued and Louie Anderson is the host. I was unaware of that.
I was going to mention Josh Hartnett of Pearl Harbor fame, too. But apparently he isn't a Minnesota native. He was born elsewhere and his family moved to Minnesota when he was a kid.
You know, I have been thinking about the whole situation with the city of Maplewood. The **** really hit the fan back in 1982, and a lot has changed since. I really think that with the medallion at Como last year they are really looking for ways to lengthen the hunt. I said it first, if the "powers that be" really wanted to throw us for a loop, Maplewood would be the obvious place to go. I don't know, perhaps nothing has changed, but we don't know......
To all that responded, to middle of the night mur murs, I really think The Pioneer Press will keep The Med. in St. Paul. Since 1970 there has been only 5 times when it wasn't in St. Paul - 3 were in maplewood and Once was in Arden Hills, and Once in West St. Paul. Yes it will be a park, big or small or rec center, sorry that i didn't mention it before. When i think of parks, rec centers are implied. It has been in st. paul at a park ever since 1989. Maybe its time for a change of place, but at the moment i'm thinking a st. paul park or rec.
By the way tim, when you see the medallion going into my pocket that doesn't count as finding it. ha ha J/k
Oh btw, the tv weekly in sundays pp had a "Add" for the medallion hunt on the back. it says that the medallion hunt is presented by cub foods. anywho, it was kinda neet to see that things are falling into place.
This is a medallion hunting message board. Maybe you got confused, we are searching for a medallion, not advertisements for a band. You may think that what you are doing is good because you can come up with cute little cliche statements but I personally, think that it is wrong to exploit a tragedy that caused so much pain and use it as a tool of marketing.
Well Christmas is over and I'm headed to vegas, will be posting from there where my past hunting pal is residing. Couldn't convince him to make the trip back for the hunt so its just me and my new crew this year.
Will be back for the "Treasure Hunt" HOW DUMB IS THAT!!!
treasure hunt whatever, its not like we're looking for a pot of gold. I'd like to know the dumbass that thought of changing it this year. Well there's still hope, maybe someone will get smart fast and get to the printers before the "Medallion Hunt" gets going.
So what's all the flack about treasure vs. medallion hunting? The terms have been used interchangably for years and years. In fact, for those who are interested in history, the first couple of years, the prize actually was hidden in a small treasure chest. In that respect, treasure hunting is more historically correct.
"Treasure Hunt"? I don't like it either. Used to bee "Medallion Hunt," and I like that much better. I'm a romanticist and don't like history and traditions changed and 'medallioned' with. This Hunt's been going on a long time - and I pray it will for many, many, many more years - and I'd like to see MomPress stick to the old ways and all. I think last year was the year they changed it...
But not go bock to hidden metal thingys!!! That would make it too easy!
If you mean ittiz dumb you're leaving Vegas to come bock to cold, snow, no sleep, frustration, confusion, etc., I don't think that's dumb at all! :D
Lots o'folks use The Hunt as like a homecoming... Greg Saxx, the Web Master for www.coolercrew.com, comes bock to St. Paul for The Hunt every year he's able. Eags has toddled off to a different locale and hopes to get bock here this year for a few days... And there's lots more I've forgotten or don't know about.
And even folks that aren't able to return to St. Paul still hunt via this board... Last year or the year before I think we had a guy in Washington state here hunting!!! (sumpin' like that anyway...)
Medallion, Treasure, who cares as long as a member of the coolercrew finds it this year. I am ready to dig. I am ready to dig. I am ready to dig. Lets do it.
Looking forward to seeing you fine folks again. This year the hunter has wheels so watch out.
Let's see...a couple - like maybe 3 years ago, WW got wheels, this year Tim has his license and now there's another hunter with wheels?
Good to have these warnings!
Ter, 'Pac's studderin'... And I don't know the secret password to tell him/her how snot to...
We are missing so many folks still, though... Though *ittiz* early. They'll prolly bee around later on...
Would be so nice if Bee and Eye would come back... (sigh)
P.S. Nice "Joe!", 'Pac!
The furnace guy is here now. Soon there will be heat - I hope!
wolffpac, instead of refreshing the page after you've posted, click on the blue number next to the last post's name...so like if you click on the first 203 or 205...that 203 would be blue, that will refresh the page from that point forward and you'll be able to see the rest of the posts that have been posted.
Thank you Terry, I'm on my mother-in-laws web tv and forgot what rhe heck I'm doing.
You're welcome. It takes awhile to readjust.
The furnace is running. The guy was here about 5 minutes. Some heat sensor thing needed to be dusted off and sanded down a bit. Good money for the time...but it's worth it to me to be warm.
Bet was your celinoid... Our furnace quit running. Yust stopped dead... Called NSP as (ah, hem...) the gas had just recently been turned [back] on... Not an NSP prob and NO CHARGE - thank gods. Guy said we had to call a furnace guy. Yeah. Rite. In his and my dreams!
Brown went down and banged on things - literally! Thought the house was gonna fall down! He banged on some thighy the gas comes out on the furnace... Sumpin' like that.
And, VIOLA!!!! Furnace came back on and has run like a clock since!!! And I didn't have to work Hennepin to pay for it!!!
Glad your furnace is running good.
Our furnace is just 5 years old. We had it cleaned and checked about 3 years ago. I guess we should have had it tuned up here this fall. This wouldn't have happened.
Hey Green, just try paying the darn bill, would have saved you a service call.
Hi lil'wolff.
You called NSP? You mean Xcel Energy?
Hey, I got on!!!
Knew you could do it.
CCR, I said whut I meant. I refuse to acknowledge those west coast jokers that moved in here and raised my rates sky-high.
And frum what I've xperienced... The NSP workers don't wanna acknowledge they work for "the enema" company either...
Happy Noodling, 'Heads! I gots to go fur awhile... Making Chicken With Lemon and Sour Cream fur din (no, Ter, it does SNOT take four hours...!) and gotta do/bake the Spritz and put the icing in the Thumb Print Cookies; as well as make more Chocolate Rum Balls...
I'll prolly bee bock when everbuddy's sleeping... I prolly won't sleep until sometime Christmas Day...
love,
Gotcha Green, take it easy.....
"Hotel Coolerfornia" izz on WLOL rite now...
I return you bock to your usual programing...
Where is the clue? I can't find the clue. It is past midnight, where is the clue?
Green- I don't know what in the world you are talking about. I don't stay up late or miss school. You must be mistakin' me with jim_the_hunter(aka my uncle, aka wolffpac)
I think the medallion will be on top of the old Highland water tower. Someone should go scout it out. Hehehehe.
My new list of rankings of the parks...
1. Capital Mall. I just think that this is the year the go back to the capital.
2. Harriet Island. My initial GUESS. No reason to get rid of it, it is still a guess.
3. Como. Frog pond. Come on, this pretty much would make sure that the coolerheads would not be close, and therefore makes sure that darn camera crew won't either. Plus, we all love conspiracy theories, and this one is kinda fun. It involves us. In fact I think I am going diggin ther the first night.

Lets just hope for snow. Otherwise there is no fun for us.
Its all about the Cooler Crew this year.....No school teacher is gonna trip over it this time....
We have snow, this i know, we need more, or the hunt'll be a snore.
Here's my guess for this year...I'm guessing if its gonna be a big park this year its gonna be Highland, Phalen or Battle Creek. but hey those are always on the top of everyones list.

As I was scanning through channels. I came across Family Fued and Louie Anderson is the host. I was unaware of that.
Minnesotans on Bay Watch, Mcgyver, Hercules, etc. In major cinema flicks like King Kong and The Wizard of OZ. And now they're hosting game shows. = )
I was going to mention Josh Hartnett of Pearl Harbor fame, too. But apparently he isn't a Minnesota native. He was born elsewhere and his family moved to Minnesota when he was a kid.

Happy Holidays, Take care Cooler
Terry- Hopefully all those rules will be listed in clue number 1. Otherwise it'll be fun to noodle.
Oh btw, the tv weekly in sundays pp had a "Add" for the medallion hunt on the back. it says that the medallion hunt is presented by cub foods. anywho, it was kinda neet to see that things are falling into place.
Yeah does anyone know the deal on that, why is Cub Foods in it this year.
Happy Holidays everyone. Be safe :)
Yeah does anyone know the deal on that, why is Cub Foods in it this year.
Because they tucked the medallion into a pastry.
St. Mary's Hospital might join the sponsors in the case that somebody chokes on the medallion. ; )
Does anyone know when the rules come out....Is it on the 20th along with the first clue...
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!
All I want for Christmas is a medallion hunt.
im the son of a power that be in maplewood, i dont think they'd be trying anything like that, but then again taht would deal with parks and recreation
MERRY, MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, 'HEADS!!!!
Same to you, Green! = )
Merry Christmas Coolerheads! I think there are 26 days left... CAN'T WAIT

Hhhuummm... You've a point there. I gotta ponder the more historically correct aspect...
Bummer! I mite have to change my mind! LOL!!!
Medallion, Treasure, who cares as long as a member of the coolercrew finds it this year. I am ready to dig. I am ready to dig. I am ready to dig. Lets do it.
Anyony here??? Just sorta bored and waiting for someone to be on...
