I love it when these are found.

Time capsules that is. Like this latest one from Boston. http://news.yahoo.com/contents-1901-boston-time-capsule-revealed-160746862.html

The older they are the better. I want to bury my own some day, somewhere.

It is fascinating to see things like this...to be able to see what was. I sure wish I would have saved a news story from about 10 years ago....a building that was once a school, then a hospital and then an office building, that had some shelves built infront of a door that had been closed for over 80 years. The door was a fairly large storage room...the ceiling in that room had a single light bulb from Thomas Edison, the old type and was still working...the shelves were filled with so much it was a treasure trove. I think they found typewriters, fountain pens and ink, books that were first editions, etc. and the pictures showed newpapers with head lines of famous events.

Yes I think it would be nice to do a time capsule....we would however never know if it was found by someone....bummer. lol!

The ultimate time capsule, at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. Sealed for 74 years, 6103 years to go.

Yeah I just saw that one last night. 400 more years to go,...hope the contract is fulfilled somehow, but it looks like the moths will consume most of it within the next 100 years.

Awesome! If it makes it to the target date, future archaeologists will no doubt be baffled by the vast inventory of trinkets and household items. Probably concluding that they are ritualistic items used in primitive religious ceremonies. :tongue1:

It's those time capsules that were unintentional that are the most amazing.

That is simply amazing! Maybe our generation should seal a room of plastic garbage Made In Taiwan. That would really give future anthropologist and archeologist something to think about.

Seems there's still time to get onboard for this one,...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KEO
