NEENAH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – To mark the city’s 150th birthday, the Neenah police department is hiding a medallion somewhere in the city each week in 2023, starting Monday.
The medallion is bronze, 3 inches in diameter, and weighs 8.3 ounces.
If you find the medallion, you are asked to bring it to the police department, 2111 Marathon Avenue. You will get to keep it, but the department will also provide the finder with a certificate of authenticity.
A marker will be left after the medallion has been discovered to let everyone know they found the location, but the treasure was claimed. These markers will remain at each site for the duration of that week’s treasure hunt. Medallions will only be hidden on public areas in the city of Neenah.
