The Marley King coin has been officially found by Jake Inge, part of the Medallionator's team, at approximately 11 PM at Norman Mears Park!

Jake was on a solo mission that night he said "I'm gonna find this coin even if I have to sleep on a park bench tonight." About 2 hours after the 11th clue came out Jake reached his hand up inside the base of the clock for the second time that night, feeling he hadn't checked it good enough the first time. He felt something with his middle finger, and then again with his thumb, and told himself "yes that's it, I think I found it!" Finally after searching every rock crevices, and every nook and cranny he found! Congratulations Jake!

Around our coin there's two big woods
both from California,
and when its hot you drink alot
of water, not Ammonia.
Explanation:
The two big woods from CA are Inglewood, a current city, and Glenwood, a historical town and current winery. The coin was hidden in a Glenwood Inglewood water cup, from the water cooler at Marley's work. Ammonia simply rhymes with California, and was capitalized because thats how I picture it on a bottle.

From where I hide
you'll see a satellite,
and on the side
bright lights at night.

Cars come and go
but you can't see a lot,
you'll see some flowers
but don't dig in their plot.
Explanation:
There is a satellite dish on the roof of the stage, which you can see if bending down to the coins level, and there are bright lights shining down on the park from the tops of the buildings on the side of the park. There is a lot of traffic, but no parking lot. There are flowers in the park, but the coin is not among them.

Clue #6
Published on Wednesday, August 14, 2002
If history's your thing
then it might be a crime
searching through archives
to decipher this rhyme.

If of the future you are fonder
and you prefer to sit and ponder,
choose a rock or bench o'er yonder
to watch the dogs and people wander.
Explanation:
The key word in this part of the clue is History, telling you its in the Historical district, not to search through history for this clue. There are rocks and benches to sit on in the park, and a specific area for walking dogs (according to the THG) "o'er yonder" away from the treasures hiding spot.

Clue #10
Published on Sunday, August 18, 2002
If you want a musicians pass
look for thirteen squares protruding,
but if you'd rather a Baptist mass
you'll have to do some good sleuthing.

Once it was high
now its down low,
used to be open
now its enclosed.
Explanation:
A musicians pass is a backstage pass, there were thirteen small squares protruding from the back of the stage. *Baptist refers to "Baptist Hill" which the park area used to be known as. (I had no idea if Baptists went to mass or not, I guess not) *It used to be the highest hill, but through development is now the lowest area of downtown, it used to be open land with a few trees but is now enclosed by the buildings that surround it. *Taken from the signs at the park .
