Now I’ve heard people say

Now I’ve heard people say that the first clues in these medallion hunt things are all pretty basic and don’t offer much insight. But if I were writing a clue, I’d throw some tiny tips in the first one, when not many people were looking. Here’s my guesses at key words and phrases from the first clue: “‘round here,” “You won’t know left from right.” To me, those both signify circles or some other round place. I could be way off, though.

To find medallion, follow clue No. 1

The hunt begins. Here is the first clue leading to the Heimatfest medallion:

Not much is new this year, I fear.
You do know all the rules,
Unless you’re new to us ‘round here.
And none of you are fools.

The same applies as years of yore:
Don’t hunt on private ground.
Be on public space before
The sparkling gold is found.

I promise not to dig in deep,
Nor hang it up too high.
As for the clues, read ‘em and weep.
You’ll shake your heads and sigh.
