this time capsule has been so cool really how often are ya gonna find over a hundred year old time capsule that has been lost in history (forgotten) that is why everybody says do research!! the Carma gods are gonna be nice to my mom soon she has now found and returned a class ring that was stolen then lost by the thief over 10 years ago and now saving history with a lost and forgotten time capsule good job mom!!! and like i said at first we really wanted everthing to go too the museum but after opening the capsule now we think all the old contents should be added with some new and get reburied we will see if we can get the council to pass it!! sorry i dont have any closeups of the paper maybe mom does on her camera![IMG_1188[1].JPG](/data/attachments/547/547633-a4f83e7c668b21d734bd32e7e1b79229.jpg)
