But One Big Problem

According to the scholars, people who bury these time capsules provide a specific date on which it should be opened, but by then we could lose the potential historical information. There are also several doubts regarding their preservation because the majority of the time capsules are buried underground, and with time they go through a lot of natural processes. Due to that many of them get lost in time and the date actually does not help it. But what was found inside the time capsule which was found in the college?

One Amazing Incident

It doesn’t matter what scholars say because we love time capsules. They are the most amazing thing even if they don’t have anything valuable hidden inside. Just the excitement of finding something is more than enough, right? In the year 2018, the historians found one mysterious time capsule which was buried under Thompson Middle School in Nova Scotia. The school was being demolished and in the ruins, the North Sydney Historical Society found the time capsule and soon there was a crowd of locals as they wanted to know what was inside it.

Metal Container

According to Joe Meaney who is the owner of the Historical Society told in the interview about the discovered time capsule, “We knew there was something there,” he said. “But we didn’t know exactly what it was, how big it was, or anything of that nature.” Nonetheless, the society was now holding this black metal container that felt really heavy as if something big was there inside it. But then they found out what was there.

Inside The Metal Box

Everybody wanted to know what was inside the metal box? What surprised the society most was that it was really in good condition and when they opened it there was a bundle of a preserved newspaper that dated back to 1949. In addition to this, historians also discovered several documents that belonged to some important members of that time. Along with that, there were some low-value notes and coins that were inside a leather wallet. 

A Lot Of History

According to Alex Gilchrist, former principal of Thompson High School, who was there when the inspection of the discovered time capsule was taking place and after the content was out of the box, he told in the interview with the CNN, “You never know what you’re going to find in it. And there was a lot of history in that time capsule, there’s no two ways about it.”

Two Time Capsules

In 2018, there were two-time capsules that were found. One was found in  Thompson High School and other was found in Michigan. This time it was the construction workers who found the time capsule at Kenowa Hills’ Central Elementary school. The workers found it inside a hollow brick that was comfortable lying inside it. And after the discovery was notified to the administration, Dr. Cherie Horner and pair of students opened the time capsule. What did they find?
