Clue #1
Published on Monday, January 16, 2023
Let the search commence
Bring on the clues
And the pomp
And the circumstance

But what of the Disc?
This hunt is immense!
And so to condense,
Look 100-some feet from a fence

Explanation:
This clue simply points out that it is 100 or so feet from a fence. Admittedly there are tens of thousands of fences in the Twin Ports area. This clue refers to a two-panel fence located just off of Regent Street at Washington Square Park in Duluth. The medallion was hidden approximately 12o feet south of it.

Published on Tuesday, January 17, 2023
Clue one, we admit
Was little to work with
So here’s what we found in inspection

There’s a place stands nearby
Only slightly awry
From nearly perfectly pointing the direction

Explanation:
This clue refers to a “play compass” that is located inside the paly area at Washington Square Park. It is located to the left of the steering wheel in the permanent play vehicle that is there. The compass points to the general location of where the medallion is hidden

Dear devoted medallion hunter
We now present another stumper
A puzzling enigma, this is.
Steadfast in your quest
We send all our best
Affectionately,
With hugs and kisses

Everything’s aged
Replaced or upstaged
Renamed or even erased
But what was once new
Provides this fourth clue
It is here the medallion is based
Explanation:
This clue required some research about the park and the Lakeside neighborhood of Duluth. Before it was annexed by the City of Duluth, the Lakeside area was known as “New London”

Clue #5
Published on Friday, January 20, 2023
Generally speaking
These hints we are leaking
Are nebulous, perfunctory and blear
But instead of defining
Look more at refining
A title already clear here
Explanation:
A very difficult clue to decipher – but was correctly interpreted by the Winner Julie Johnson. It basically says ignore all the big words in this clue and refine one that you already know but has an additional meaning. That word is “Generally” – refined to General – as in General George Washington

Clue #6
Published on Monday, January 23, 2023
So many places to search
Spaces to research
And cases of numerous variety
Stay true to the test
With zeal and zest
In most respectful and courteous propriety
Explanation:
This is a clue directly referencing all the different varieties of apple trees planted at Washington Square Park. In fact, one of the varieties – ZESTAR is about 25 feet from the medallion which explains the “Zest” in the clue

Clue #7
Published on Tuesday, January 24, 2023
All these riddles and yap
Some you save
Some you scrap
Not completely unlike what’s close-by
About 200 feet
And not one bit petite
From where the medallion does lie
Explanation:
This clue calls attention to the “BIG BELLY” garbage compactors that are in the playground area of Washington Square Park and are about 200 feet away from the medallion. Obviously a big belly is not petite

Clue #10
Published on Friday, January 27, 2023
This hunt’s taking shape
Amid wintry landscape
With a wealth of instruction so far
Look under the snow
To discover the dough
To become a medallion hunt star
Explanation:
Two keywords in this difficult clue. The first was the word “shape” which loosely refers to Washington “Square”. The second key word is star which completes our “Zest” from a previous clue. Zestar is a breed of apple tree labeled and located close by

Clue #11

Images are numerous

Some serious
Some humorous
More than you could possibly count
But if you want the original
The true individual
Is quite literally found at a mount
Explanation:
The “images” that are referenced here are the thousands of pictures of George Washington we’ve seen in our lifetime. And if you payed attention in History class, you would know that our first president lived and is buried at a place called “Mount” Vernon

Clue #12
Published on Tuesday, January 31, 2023
The destination you seek
Has a claim that’s unique
And boasting of a big twin out east
With leafy retreats
From busier streets
And in honor of one who’s deceased
Explanation:
Many of the Park that are tagged with “Square” in Duluth were named after parks that already existed in London, England. However, Washington Square Park in Duluth was named after a park of the same name in Philadelphia.

You’re a medallion hunt rover
Searching the land over
Through thick and through thin, you forge
Into valley and field
‘Till the treasure’s revealed
And you howl, “I’ve got it, by George!”
Explanation:
This clue refers to George Washington. It also mentions “valley” and “forge” which was the encampment site of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War led by General George Washington

Clue #14
Published on Thursday, February 2, 2023
Yesterday’s clue that we sent
You should know our intent
Was to highlight a well-known, first president
And so this days segment
May we boldly present
It’s at least 10 feet away
From where things might ferment
Explanation:
This clue solidified that it is indeed President George Washington – and hence Washington Square Park that medallion is hidden. It also points out that the disc will be hidden at least ten feet away from any of the fruit trees planted at the location
