It’s fun watching people out my office window as they search through the park.

I found mine nestled in the paw of the lion statue at Wright Park.

Thank you Monkeyshiners for making my day!

I found mine going into Jones Hall at the University of Puget Sound this morning! Thanks, Monkeyshines!

This is my first year looking for them. About how many do they usually put out? I read something that said last year was about 600? And is it just mostly north Tacoma?

I’ve found about 12 so far! So cool! I plan on giving them to my nephews & nieces. They’re awfully busy with their video games and such so they don’t get outside much….

Just kidding everone. I haven’t found a single one. I haven’t even looked yet. I hope to find ONE, and only one, tonight when I walk the dogs. Thanks, Monkeyshines!

Once again…more beauty in Tacoma! I remember the first year and every year since. This event is mos def one of the things that remind me why I love my home and gave me a little pang of home sickness. Thank you Monkeyshiners for bringing some light to our wonderful city!

I found a glass disc with a tiger on it in my back pack after school today! I wonder who put it there……

I found my tiger medallion outside of the W.W. Seymour Conservatory in a planter. This is the first year I haven’t been looking for one. I waited until I was inside before I jumped around like a fool. Thank you.

I found mine in the dirt ‘garden’ of the Skippers on Pacific Ave. Thank you so much. What a treasure to find with my 5 year old grandson. We are thrilled to have been so lucky. We will treasure this beautiful glass ball.

How many were hidden?

I was jealous when I arrived at work yesterday to find out both David and Kristi had each found a medallion in Fireman’s Park. This morning on my walk in I looked into the old Faucett Water Fountain and saw cigarette buts, then looked at the fountain at the front and found a beautiful glass ball monkeyshine! Grabbing it from the skanky water wasn’t so fun, but it sure put a smile on my face – Thanks Monkeyshiners!

My husband found one at the park and ride on 56th and Alaska yesterday. This inspired us to go out and look for more. My granddaughter, daughters and I had a wonderful day in the sun looking for treasure.Thank you Monkeyshines!

I’ve tried to find one of these balls with no success. Quite frankly, if someone is willing to sell, I am willing to buy. I’m thinking $20. CSL10023@yahoo.com

Last year “notagain” wanted to swap a dog year ball for an ox. Do you still? I am a dog and found an ox last year.
We found a broken tiger medallion at Mason Middle School last night, but still looking for a whole one or a ball.

My friend and I spent 5-6 hours today looking for globes with no luck! We are exauhsted! I don’t know if I can do it again tomorrow! 2 days in a row and not one glimps. I’m confused this year! Maybe that was the plan! Anyone know how many went out this year?

Spent a couple hours tonight seaching… No luck yet. I will try again tomorrow at lunch when I won’t need flashlights…. I did get some strange looks from people for looking through the Trees and bushes and planter boxes with a big maglight flashlight.

I had all but give up.

I just found a Monkeyshines medallion at the Spanish Steps. It was in the dirt in between some rather disgusting bits of urban refuse. Washing hands now. Again and again. Out, out damn spot!

Ha – I can’t believe I forgot about it, and I’m glad the ball-stashers got them out. The medallions this year are a nice addition. I’m glad once again not all are stashed downtown. It’s cool one was found at the 56th Park and Ride (@23). My kids still talk about the boar ball (ahem) I found few years ago by the Spanish Steps. Such a wonderful gift to the community. I’m not ging to go looking this year, but I hope one finds me.

Yesterday, 2/11, I found another medallion resting quietly in a little tree behind the music building on campus. I love this activity. Gives me a reason to walk around campus.

Out walking the dog this Saturday morning, what’s that at the base of a streetlamp? Oh joy! it’s a tiger medallion! Thank you monkeyshiners, what a wonderful project.

We went out several times today. We looked all over the north end. No luck. We all just looked like crazy people with flash lights in the rain.

crazy talent out there!!

Jewls – They hid the balls and medallions Tuesday morning. I’m sure there are still some out there…the question is where??

R u sure northend justin that they put them out on tues?

We are sure they went out Tuesday. Everything else – just speculation.

My friend found two really awesome one’s in the same day!! Talk about luck.. She gifted one to me. I think that means that I am the luckiest ever! Thanks Cassie xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

hey tim me and the hubby found two medallions i did not find anything last year it was way lame we were going to hid it next year lol but if ya want to contact me we would be happy to share akirk146@gmail.com

Whether you find one or not, the joy lies in being outdoors, searching for something that was meant to be found. Thank you-this is one of my favortie Tacoma traditions.
