... and it contains?

More than 200 years after Samuel Adams and Paul Revere first buried it in Boston, it took an hour to remove all the objects crammed inside a tiny time capsule. Onlookers anxiously watched the unveiling Tuesday, worrying the items might not have weathered the years very well. Piece by piece, Pam Hatchfield, head of objects conservation for the museum, removed each item, whispering "wow" as she first caught a glimpse of some of them. Among the stash Hatchfield removed from the 1795 time capsule: Five folded newspapers, a Massachusetts commonwealth seal, a title page from Massachusetts colony records and at least 24 coins. And at the bottom, an inscribed rectangular silver plate, "probably made by Paul Revere and engraved by him," Rogers said. It took seven hours to reach the bottom of the capsule to get to the plate. it was a painstakingly slow process as they were trying not to damage anything in the capsule.
