Clue #3
If you wander near, something will appear
Allowing people to walk where once forbidden.
Houses can also be seen when the day is clear
From the secret place our treasure trove is hidden.

Clue #4
Being precise could be quite nice
If you ponder a figure of three.
A number and its double are seen twice
And near them you should be.
Explanation:

Clue #5
You should keep in mind something you can’t find
Despite the fact that it lies right in front of you.
There’s no need to question how its name was assigned
Or why it’s one part split into two.
Explanation:
Something that can’t be found is “lost” – which hinted at Lost Lake. Lost Lake is split into two sections by Highway 244.

Material that’s alive you must derive
Out of this puzzle you are now faced.
Staring at the clue will all you to arrive
Successfully with what the medallion’s encased.

Clue #7
If you’re in White Bear, the treasure’s not there
But to travel to the east would be right.
Another bit of information, if you care
Is that a rollercoaster could once be seen from the site.

If you should roam not far from the home
Two names will surely fit the bill.
Be very careful of the deception in this poem
And find the collective identity of Ernie and Will.

Clue #9
Now if you agree, think of a tree
That’s irrational and hard to control.
This is the place you should be
If you are fulfill your goal.

Clue #10
A grove of oak is no joke
On a Wildwood Park hill.
So find a slab of cement that’s broke
And you’ll be nearer still.

The medallion will be found partially in the ground
But the one who digs will be at a loss.
For our hidden treasure that’s clear and round
Resides in a soft bed of moss.
Explanation:
Final directions to the 1999 medallion.
