Lost time capsule at middle school

[Hot zone]

I have been detecting a couple hours a day at a local park and left a business card (not related to detecting) with the grounds keeper. The card was given to a member of the schoolboard trying to locate a lost time capsule that in turn contacted me. I Spent about 2 hours with two detectors, a magnetometer and even my Garrett pro pointer taped to a 4 foot long dowel to probe a large juniper bush that is in the believed location. I removed 4 pop cans from under the bushes and other metal. The school now has agreed to remove the bush in the next couple days. The capsule is rumored to have been placed in the ground in the 60s. I am told it is believed not to be encased in concrete. Little is known of the construction of the container or marker. I am really itching from rooting around the juniper and itching to see what kids thought belonged in a capsule. As A finders fee the school promises my picture with the capsule. I sure hope it is still there.

Tuesday morning at 9 they are opening the gate to give access to the old school that is soon to be leveled. I have only been able to detect outside the fence so far. Hopefully we can also move the portable fence to detect that area also. I am not sure if the juniper is coming out that day.

We are presently at an impass regarding the locked fence that surrounds the school being demolished. The fence prevents detecting the area under it and that behind next to the building. There are other large metal objects in the general vicinity as well. The fence was erected after dumpsters that were full we're emptied by souvenir hunters. It was trash after all, but if someone took it, then it must have had value. There is money in all the brick!
