Town Loses Its Time Capsule

Imagine this. In 1985 you buried a time capsule containing coins, news clippings and a bottle of New Coke. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of your village, you want to dig it up. There's one problem. You don't know where it is.

That's exactly what happened in the town of Kimberly in Wisconsin, USA. The capsule was buried near the municipal building but had to be dug up in 1997 when the building complex was remodeled. From then, it's not clear where - or even if - it was reburied. They are now using a metal-detection device to help them find the wayward time capsule.

The picture above shows a part of South Railroad Street in Kimberly. The capsule could be buried right there. You never know.
