The hiding places of the '90s showed a certain respect for the avid hunter, with Conway Park factoring into digging efforts for the first time in hunt history and Cherokee Park turning up twice in the same decade. The hunt, as a whole, enjoyed renewed interest through cellular and Internet technology, and with an upgrade in prize money. With prior trouble in suburban locales, the medallion remained in St. Paul proper. In this case, shrinking the area of influence might have helped the greater cause: fun.
