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.
the only thing x-wise i can think of is that the baselines from 1st to 2nd and from second to third intersect at second base. since its winter, the chalk wouldn't be on the field for the lines, so the x isn't really there. the puck was allegedly near by. or so clue 12 says.
The good thing about this hunt was that the clues were vague enough to keep people hunting all over the place. I believe if there had been snow - and no one here can control that - the hunt would have lasted a few more clues.
I think we did a good job here discussing the clues. Maybe everyone's discussion helped Mary and Sean find it. Who knows? But, I think I might just go to Merriam tonight or definitely tomorrow for sure just to pout!!!
well not that's it's over I guess I can go into labor and not be mad about it- I was doing everything in my power not to let myself have this baby until the hunt ended
Time to cry and tonight I was planning on going down to the pp for the first time. and yesterday me and my sister were thinking about going to merriam and just stayed at como and then went home....
Hi TMK! Thanks for introducing me around last night! You really made this newby feel welcome. And, hello again to all you heads I met last night -- Randy, Downtown Dave, Santa Dave, Allison, Me2, scribe, leelabell, and of course, Green. I know I'm forgetting some, but I'll see ya at the Bash.
Ok, Ok, Ok...set aside the fact that Im extremely bummed that this thing was already found (on clue 6) none the less, making it an earlier find than in any recent history which completely blows chunks...but newspaper, clue writer anyone in charge of this program....come the "F" on....those were the absolute most crappy clues ever...nowhere in the 12 clues was the object the medallion was attached to mentioned...you also have taken all puzzle solving and fun out of even bothering to search for the treasure because the clues blatantly stated everything that they meant. How about a little puzzler next year? How about something interesting that makes all of this work worthwhile? Look through all of the above posts and all of the work that people put into the possible different meanings of the clues...and take heart that that's what treasure hunter's want. If these clues are gonna be so obvious...hell, Ill just pick up a shovel at clue 6 next year and go where everyone knows it to be...I wont bother looking until then. Whoever wrote clues for the last time it was at Cherokee knows how to do it (and if that happens to be the same person...boy have you lost it).... This is truly a sad day in clue-land...take care all....Ill see you in the "popular park" on clue six next year...
what a waste! the clues sucked
"x" marks the spot was in a laundry detergent commercial long ago, was it tide? was medallion in detergent box?
Well, I guess I should be a good hunter and say "Congratulations Mary Kay Hamilton and Sean for finding the medallion."
TD has moved on to stage 5.
No attached to a potato chip bag or container.
That's the spirit...
Congratulations to the finders! Some year...if it takes another 30 years, it will be me!
Thanks, MMH!! I needed that.

Now, how can you help me get there?
med: and here i was going to call you and try to hook up with you and the kids this weekend (your old neighbor)
Well, let me see, MMH. We now hav 365 days - less than 365 - to prepare for next year. We'll be wiser and more determined.

Nice name there old neighbor
maybe i should change my name to cantnoodle4beans!
explanations are now posted on the pp site.
definitely, terry. i was out scouting from mounds out to bc at lunch. the snow's gone, there's no cover there.

next year i.m hopeing for winter weather. keep some of the sunshine hunters home.
Anyone else thinking of doing that?
wait till sunday, treasure.
I think the going to Merriam to pout will be done at the Re-hash bash, possibly this Sunday.
Sure, the explanations totally clear this up now. Dah?
Marry 'em? Good grief!
oh yeah. right away, td.
did I miss something or what- I read the explanations- which totally suck- and still don't see anything about potato chips!!
I'm with you LL!
good question, leah. good question.
These clues don't even lead us anywhere until Clue 8. My hat is definitely off to Allison and who ever else was at Merriam before today.
Anyone got the number for the "Over Thinkers Anonymous" club?
My husband was at BC yesterday and last night. And he was at Merriam this morning but too late. Dang it!!
MMH, if you get it, please post it. I think there will be a lot of us needing it.
Can someone please check on Green and Jake?
They're probably down at PP because of the press conference happening at 2 PM - which is going on now.
well not that's it's over I guess I can go into labor and not be mad about it- I was doing everything in my power not to let myself have this baby until the hunt ended
I called Jake just after hearing the news. He was going to get to Trent and so I'm sure they've been down to the PP for the news conference.
Time to cry and tonight I was planning on going down to the pp for the first time. and yesterday me and my sister were thinking about going to merriam and just stayed at como and then went home....
LL - if you have a girl, please call her medallion.
See, the things us true hunters give up. Good job, LL?
Hi everyone. Just got back from Merriam. It's a sad, sad day.
I called Green after I found out, and she sounded disappointed/depressed. They know, they are there.
Bummer, huh dal? Did you see it?
I am having a girl- but I don't think that I am that crazy about the hunt
Me tinks it's a "TIME TO KILL" - does that sound familiar to anyone?
Me also tinks a NEW writer of the clues is a MUST for next year?
Where do we find out who wrote the clues? Any ideas Jake?
I'm out of here - hope to see you all on sunday.
Nobody knows who writes the clues but Mom PP.
...and here I am working just a couple of miles away....
