What would you put in a time capsule?

My level 42 cassette, a massive double ender, 3 litres of lube, a can of heinz beans with "Ha, I bet you don't have tin openers, have fun opening these ********" written on it and a picture of a cow with a speech bubble stating "Milk me so good" penned in, they can have the biro as well, why not.

I mean seriously, time capsules are a load of nonsense, you find one, go "interesting" than forget about it a few days later. Oh, you buried a roses tin 2 feet down in your back garden? No one will ever find it for hundreds of years... Yeah, right.

You seem nice.
 
beer bottle tops as this will be the currency in year to come, the future generations of my family will be rich I tell you :D

Thinking about it, you need to try and make this fun for whoever lives there after you. Do you have any cursed items at all you could include - maybe from a desecrated, ancient, native American burial ground?
 
I would put another time capsule in it just to imagine their disappointment when they open the first to find instructions not to open the second for another hundred years :D
 
there was a guy on youtube with a metal detached and found a time capsule in the woods, the person who buried it made it look like they were a kipnap victim and there stuff buried. i cant find the video tho but the guy handed in his find to a rangers office who then gave it to police. police confirmed it was a time capsule but it looked so much like a kipnap victims belongings
 
I made one in 1995, not to be opened until 3037 (42 years). I put the Queen's Mother's 90th birthday coin in there which is £5 as legal tender but will obviously become collectable. Then I chucked a few magazine clippings of pop groups from around that time and lots of other stuff I can't remember. Think I put the Whigfield "Saturday Night" tape in there :-) The capsule itself is a red lockable metal money box the size of a lunch box.

1) Please provide map

2) There's something about those dates that doesn't quite add up - is it a trap?
 
Damn typo, I meant 2037!

It's at my parents' house, and they live out in the sticks. The village didn't get wired up to broadband until 2004, so I doubt that there will be a Google maps for the place :p
