Treasure Hunt

It's my favorite time of the year here in Minnesota, and one of the things that makes it great is the annual Treasure Hunt!

In a nutshell, for the last 59 years, our local newspaper has hidden a medallion somewhere and they print a new clue each day until it is found. This is just one of the many events of the 125-year-old Winter Carnival.

Although a lot of the clue deciphering relies on having a vast amount of knowledge of the area, I still thought some members here might enjoy checking it out.

You can find the clues, discussion boards, etc.. here:

If anyone has any ideas for the clues, feel free to share them!

Clue 3 would indicate somewhere in Burnsville. Any parks names after Magellan, or Columbus in that area?

Please define the area I can look in. Google Earth rocks, but doesn't seem to define the area you mentioned.

It's restricted to any public land in Ramsey County, MN (which you would need local knowledge of to understand). For the most part, it's usually a park in St. Paul (though not always).

After clue 9 ill have it!

It certainly appears to be a location of historical importance, and i see several clue that appear to be directed towards something in the air. The second video, in the bathroom, seems like it could be hidden in a vent or above your head in a historical location??

is there a park called heritage in your area or Ignatius Donnelly statue in the available possible areas?

Its usually buried outside

maybe this list can shed some light on something:

Did NDN win????

I think it was found really fast this year. More fun when it takes people a while.
