Medallion Hunt 2020

Two points sit before you now

One: to thwart the virus. How?

Keep all safe from COVID threat.

Seek our gold to win your bet.

Two: to keep tradition, knowing

Doing so keeps Jordan growing.

That in mind, let’s list the rules.

Keep the thought: we are no fools!

Shiny gold and big and round,

Festive coin can now be found

On the land, not pond or river.

Not dug deep nor needing flivver.

Not so high that you can’t reach,

Not in sand on yonder beach.

Hid inside or near town bounds,

There coin is—on public grounds.

Turn it in for Jordan dollars!

Maybe fund some youthful scholars.

Christmas in September, Wow!

Celebrate! I’ll tell you how.

Look for coin in festive guise.

If you unwrap it, you’ll be wise.

No more pizza’s in that box.

Keep on digging like a fox.

Past the cardboard, past the stickers

Stuck on bag and just for kickers.

Coin’s outdoors—don’t need a mask.

Walking path is your one task.


Clues will fly ‘til gold is found.


(Not like it’s just lying ‘round!)


Sandals might not make the trip.


Shoes or boots that do not flip--


That’s the way to search for coin.


Shouldn’t see a group to join.


Watch for traffic, don’t jump fence.


Stay alive to earn your pence.


Don’t go far now, stay in bounds.


If you’re lost, we’ll send the hounds.

Now you’re cookin’ – Great outdoors --

That’s where clue elf keeps her stores.

Closer now, don’t face the sun.

Keep it high ‘til search is done.

Take a chance; go north or south.

Shield from fumes your eyes and mouth.

Take the mom and all the kids.

Which one finds the coin has dibs.

Reach a bit, avoid the prickles

On yourself although it tickles.
