Note: This is a good time for you, if you have buried one and forgot to unveil it more than 10 years time, well it is the good time to have it unearthed!!​


I have been reading a few articles while talking in the other thread, and it striked me interesting, and this got norcal20's attention about his. Have anyone did one in the mid 1990's? I have to ask my mum tomorrow if I recalled buring one or not.. :hmm:
 
Jeez!! thanks for remind me for that.


i do recalled that i put a toy but others, i dunno. I'd better check with my 'rents to see if they're open up their schedule for on this weekend.
 
Ready to dig in your backyard to put tty. :laugh2:
 
thanks for remind me, again. i'll check with my class of 2001 to see if we did put time capsule in our alma mater school.
 
I hide my several stuff. Unfortunately, that house being sold and I couldn't come and dig to get it out. *sigh*

I even don't remember what I have in there.
 
Talk about time capsules...Remember last year when Tulsa buried a 57 Plymouth for 50 years and brought it back from the ground. Damn the car was so rusty after being dug out of the ground.
 
Wow, that reminds me - my classmates and I buried a time capsule at KSD. That was in 1990 and I was in the 7th grade at that time, haha.

I remember before we buried our stuffs in the time capsule, We took a camcorder and started taping everyone on the video. In the video, we were to make a prediction of what year 2000 and forward would be like. I don't remember what I said in that video, lol. We also did put some other stuffs in the box too. I can't also remember what other stuffs were in it.

The agreement was that we were supposed to dig it out in 2000. That never happened (dunno why) and I just might get in touch with my classmate to see if they are interested in digging that out in 2010. It'd be interesting to see things that went back 20 years ago.
 
i paged one of my classmate, he said, "Oh DAMN! i actually forgot about it and will rush at this priority first for our class reunion".

Thank you, Jacob for remind me for this. its helps.

I mentioned that in the 2000's thread last night, it caught my attention to bring this thread up, eh! Did you even know about the 1998 plymouth ($300K) which was buried more than ten years ago now in Tulsa? It will be unearthed in 2048. I am still wondering what's happening with that '57 plymouth nowadays.

Now, Jolie77 -- I think it is a good time to dig 'em out as 2000 is already so 8 years ago! :shock:

Class of 2001? :eek3: You're 7 years late!!!!!

You're mostly welcome, mate :cool2: Glad that I brought it up!
 
I had a thread about Time Casples. We had made one for my son when he was in kintergarten and it was in 2001. It is still buried in the closet and he will open it in the year 2014...
 
cool...lets see what will happens in 2014, ma'am.

class of 2005, young jedi, arent you? ha.
 
Were those cars buried in boxes or put straight into the ground with dirt inside or not?

RIT had a time capsule from when the campus was new but they opened it up and found that the stuff had rotted. :( Maybe there's a new one, I forget. It may be by the ramp in between the old bookstore and the tiger.

I also found accidental time capsules in the woods at my parents' like an empty bottle of laundry soap or blench and a soda bottle from the summer of 1996. Near my uncle's garage, I found a container that had rotten green meat inside. :barf: My sister said it looked like a frog.

The Prowler is in an above-ground vault. So the Prowler will fare much better than the '57 Belvedere. Also I heard Tulsa did even put a Harley in another time capsule a few months after they dug out the Belvedere.

Last I heard the '57 Plymouth is now in New Jersey having preservation work done to it. It's too rusty to do an frame-off restoration. The guy who won the car almost 30 years after he died-his sisters now have possession of the car.

Perhaps I should introduce y'all to a few time capsules I know of:

1)The Time Capsule Expo '70 was actually TWO identicial time capsules buried on top of each other. The top capsule is unearthed, checked and buried every 100 years. The bottom capsule will be opened 5,000 years later.

2) The Crypt of Civilization at Atlanta's Oglethorpe University. It was sealed in 1940. The Crypt was built out of an old swimming pool inside one of the college buildings. That capsule will be opened in AD 8113.

3) The 1939 and 1964 New York's World Fairs featured time capsules sponsored by Westinghouse. They're buried at the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens.

4) The Voyager Golden Record is a time capsule attached to a Voyager spacecraft out in space. Can you imagine aliens finding the Voyager and the Golden Record?! Its the most far-out time capsule man ever made.

Take a look at the time capsule society that is responsibe for keeping track of time capsules around the world. They're the keepers of the Crypt of Civilization.
