The treasure chest was magnetized and hidden under a green mailbox at the corner of Seventh and Robert. It was found by Mrs. Albin Paulson and her friend Mrs. Michael Rosner, two women who apparently didn't have their own names. Posing for a picture near the mailbox after the hunt was over were mailman John Schwietz and beat patrolman Dave Foley; they worked with and near the mailbox throughout the hunt and never had a clue (oops, bad pun). Clue explanations will follow when possible.

Clue 1
Welcome back to the treasure quest!
Ramsey County hides the chest.
Two thousand bucks is a lot to bank,
"Frosty Frolic" you should thank.

Clue 2
The hunt is on, the chest is hid,
We know you hope to lift the lid.
The treasure chest is in St. Paul,
And for the present that is all.

Clue 3
Safety first that has been our rule,
Ever since we went to school.
Don't risk your neck in dangerous pursuit;
Even a child could find this loot.

Clue 4
Don't trespass on your neighbor's lawn,
It's not private property the treasure's on.
No body of water is in your view,
And that, my friends, is an important clue.

Clue 5
In your view, towering high,
Six slender objects spike the sky;
A post's nearby and also a road,
Now you're near the treasure lode.

Clue 6
A structure of red can be seen,
But more important is the color green;
Don't look here for another clue,
We've already been too good to you.

Clue 7
The birds above don't sing of love,
But don't let this confuse you;
This seventh clue means more to you,
Than simply to amuse you.

Clue 8
If the vision you have is extra keen,
The top of a bridge can be seen;
Don't venture forth for a closer look,
For where you are is the treasure's nook.

Clue 9
About this time you need this aid,
So look for a place where you can trade.
It's not far from the treasure site.

Clue 10
Read these words to find the spot,
Each letter might mean an awful lot:
Robert Q. and the Cavaliers,
Came to town and brought forth cheers.
Can you solve this clue tonight?

Clue 11
Stones are near the treasure site,
Cemented together to hold them tight;
A sign appears when you arrive,
With figures on it that total five.

Clue 12
Regular visits are made to the spot,
To help someone improve his lot;
A palace was built not far away,
To serve the needs of another day.

Clue 13
And here it is the final clue,
Telling you what exactly to do;
Go up Seventh in the heart of the loop,
Stop at Robert, then give a whoop.
The chest, you'll find, can easily be seen,
If you look below a structure of green,
Hanging there but not kinetic,
Held by things which are MAGNETIC;
We've had much fun, we must confess,
Good hunting from the Dispatch-Pioneer Press.
