Start at the top and do not stop

Clue #2
When the summer sun does bake, feel free to partake
In many activities that require the movement of feet.
But if it’s treasure money you’re hoping to rake
Out of White Bear Lake you mustn’t retreat.
Explanation:
“Activities that require the movement of feet” referred to baseball, swimming, volleyball, and walking/jogging – all of which can be done in the West Park/Optimist Beach vicinity.

Clue #3
Most things that you view are shiny and new
Though that is not the case for all.
Objects to climb over, under, and through
All the kids to have a ball.
Explanation:
New playground equipment could be seen across 11th Street from the medallion’s location. Also, the restrooms and picnic tables were clean and new. The baseball diamond, however, was overgrown and lacked that “new look.”

Clue #4
A sport that is played worldwide should be your guide
You might just think of stealing and pitches.
Also, if you detect a couple of ones standing side-by-side
They can lead you down the road to riches.
Explanation:
Again, the first two lines pointed to the baseball diamond very near where the treasure was placed. “A couple of ones standing side-by-side” hinted at the number 11 – or 11th Street – which led hunters to the site.

Clue #5
Something you must know is that a current of H2O
Bisects the ground for which you yearn.
Names are different depending on which side you go
And is quite noticeable as one does discern.

Clue #6
In order to pick up the pace and win this race
Locate a presidential name with a double connection
It’ll guide you past a directional place
And will aid you in your park selection.
Explanation:

Clue #7
Positive thought can gain you a lot
Just focus and you’ll think of a name.
It’ll bring you not far from our spot
And leave you with both fortune and fame.

You’re getting hot with the hints you go
Be careful not to ignite!
Keep on cooking and you’ll earn what is sought
As the clues continue to shed some light.
Explanation:
“Positive thought” and “name” referred to Optimist Beach. The second stanza with “hot”, “ignite”, “cooking", and "light" hinted at the medallion’s disguise. The medallion was wrapped with double-sided tape and rolling in crushed charcoal. It was then planted at the base of a grill with other briquettes.

Clue #8
It can be quite a hassle locating a French castle
In these good ole 50 states.
In jubilation shake a pompom or tassel
Because we found one and did some hiding outside its gates.
Explanation:
A French castle is a Chateau. The Cheateaugaye residence was located directly east of the medallion’s location.
