best i can do is $1 and im taking a huge risk here.
James Guatchan 🤣🤣🤣
James Guatchan i can give two pennies and a stick of gum by that’s it
I got a guy that's an expert at this stuff...
Yeah he pretty much said it was worthless but it's really cool so I can do a button and this piece of string if you want ?
I got a buddy, he said this is priceless and is so precious that it shouldn’t be sold, all I can give you is 400 dollars, and I’m taking a huge risk here
I'm Rick Harrison and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. One thing I learned after 21 years you never know what'll come through that door.
If you put a nokia phone in timecapsule now and open in year 2315 there will still be 70% charged battery.
I'm still on my initial charge today. Only at 93%.
I have a 1999 Sanyo phone from Sprint. During a trip, I lost the charging cable back then and still the phone has 1 battery line left.
Obviously I turn this thing on from time to time and even today worked!
This is true, I seent it.
If you dial 2015 on your keypad and press "Call" you will hear the dead memes of 2015 saying to comeback
Lol 😂
Seeing things like this makes me wonder how many more boxes like this there are that are undiscovered.
Only 8 left
Loli4lyf Put it inside a solar powered & electric freezer so you can have kids hundreds of years from now & not have to deal with the child supportx
WaffleMinion It would actually be a unknown Yellow substance not green......Uhhh Don’t ask
dude! this video inspired me to bury a box near a plot of land by my house! I am going to start collecting things at thrift stores, and flea markets this weekend!
@@TheCatholicRemedy Remember to seal it really really good!
Is it just me or does Paul Revere look just like Jack Black?
Marcus Perdue you beat me to it by a year
I can’t unsee that now
Well, if they make a movie about him they should cast him.
If only u knew the secret Masonic history of him, you'd swear it really was him.
Oh crap he does
“that is like unbelievably cool” I love this guy
Ok
@Star of Europa are you British
@Star of Europa Seriously? Why do you hate Americans so much?
Star of Europa Oh? That must explain their countless victories and achievements, extraordinary economy, and prestigious colleges and universities! What country do you hail from and what makes you ineloquent, inarticulate, and classless? I’m dying to know!
@Star of Europa i can't see if it's sarcasm
This is the kind of video that randomly pops up on your feed, but you immediately know that it isn’t going to be presented in the way you want, (because it’s from a news channel or something) so you instantly ditch the video and search for other videos on the topic.
But click on the video anyways to write a long comment.
It probably took you longer to write the comment than the videos length
Ok
James Porter you must be a very slow writer
Wow I couldn't agree with you more.
I always find time capsules fascinating, with a newspaper the most interesting item of all. I'd have loved to have heard some articles and adverts of the day.
Did they have fake news back then?
@@allaansnackbar4269 newspaper was introduced to run agendas to fool people..
It was most effective when their was no other way to know what really is going on..

I still have old Osama bin laden death celebration newspapers. Some have talks about making it a federal holiday where we all gather together and celebrate the death of Osama.
Cath Robilliard I know right?? Me too!
In 2012, me and my friends had the same idea and put a lot of toys, games and cards in an iron case. We told ourselves that we would Bury it up when we graduated Middle school.
So now, 2019, we graduated, dug it up and put a new one in the hole with memories of Middle school with the promise to dig it up when we graduated college. It's worth the time to do this
Good luck chief
We're any of the items in the box damaged?
@@trainscronce6269 Yes, rust and moist damaged iron items as well as my cards
Loren Quarles
Cool story bro
Why did you take 7 years to graduate middle school?
Remarkably poor coverage: lots of chatter, very little information. And it's a pity that the public will get so little exposure to these items. I hope, anyway, that photos become available before it's put back in storage.
The articles show proof of the actual intentions of the Democratic Party. A 300 year plan.
@@williamcutting5224 imagine being so stuck-in-your-ways that you see the unveiling of an amazing piece of history and your only thought is "the damn libs"
Dorothy Pugh great points. I agree completely. That’s modern news media for ya.
William Cutting you’re dumb.
Harrison Lane you’re dumb. So is William. Don’t lie. If William didn’t trigger you, you would have just made fun of the items in the time capsule because it’s proof of how great our country’s history is.
Newspaper should be copied in some way before it disintegrates.
Gregory May if it didn’t already disintegrate it won’t if they reseal it
You mean like how the republicans are currently trying to take your right to a fair and speedy trial and to be represented in a court of law?
It would have been made of rag paper. It's a lot more resilient than modern wood paper. It's similar to the paper US currency is printed on. That's why it doesn't fall apart in the washing machine like ordinary paper.

Now there's a case for future humans to not build a time machine. They'll read the front page and say "Nah, not a good idea!"
I found a time capsule behind a church keystone that I was putting an addition on. It was filled with photos and stuff about the church in the 1800's. The church people updated everything and added new photos (I'm in one of them) and resealed it all in a new time capsule placed behind the new keystone on the new building addition.
Hello to those who had this in their recommendations. How are you? Merry Christmas! See ya in 10 years time when this pops up in our recommendations again.
It ain't Christmas tho it's the 23rd
Greetings from 2020!
Well at least they show whats in it.. most of these fucking time capsule vids just show a talking head telling everyone "We found a time capsule!"... video ends..
What the lady said about the items they are holding having been touching by people from the past is precisely what drove me to archaeology. The very first time I excavated Roman or Native American artifacts, I was connected for a moment with whoever discarded that artifact in the past.
Haha I’m a year late, but can you tell me a little bit more about your job? I love history myself and honestly I’m interested in archeology, however I’m worried about the pay for it :( what’s it like for you?
i never thought about it that way; it would've made me more interested in archeology
This is such an interesenting take on the subject. I hadn't thought about it that way.
That just made the one time I went excavating to an old hometown church with my class and found a piece of glass a thousand times cooler.
“put an iphone in there” yeah let that battery acid eat everything in the box up
There’s no “acid” in lithium batteries
That’s not how lithium batteries work.
Even if that was an issue you can just take the battery out
There's probably one with a Nokia phone from 20 years ago.
And still has a 80% charge.
@@CliftonPhotographer fr. Those phones were practically indestructible.
wonder if any sanity was inside? this country could use some
The coins represent the freedom of the people. Republicans and Democrats are moving backward in time.
***** The people created their own money in defiance of the government who was trying to enslave them. The coins were a symbol of their freedom from British rule.

Perhaps we should all start doing it as well protesting our corrupted and insane government.
haha best comment i've seen in a long time
Explain to me why? if you don't then you have no answer and your comment is invalid
I live in Western Massachusetts, I'm surrounded by houses built in the late 1700's - early 1800's. So much history around here
I read this as 1975 and I was like “ok, so it wasn’t that long ago” then I minute later I was like 😲
1795 isn't that long ago either. But maybe in America you think thats ancient already
@@bart6753 in america we think its old because its only a couple of years after our country started

That pine tree coin is worth $400k in terrible condition...being in mint condition with the prominence that Sam Adams and Paul Revere put it that time capsule literally makes it priceless.
guess there is still somekind of price
They probably slipped a replacement in on us and took that one 😂
Oh wow! I would have loved to open this! Could you imagine coming across something like this so old from people we learned about in school!?! 😯
I remember burying a time capsule 27 years ago in the backyard. I wonder if the owners of the house would let me come dig it up 😁
I think you should definitely go find out!!!
Susan MinhTrang Nguyen You MUST try to get them to let you dig it up. Hopefully, they haven't put a slab of cement over it!! Good luck!!🙏
Willing to bet we don't get the whole story.
You never do with the fake mainstream media.
polifatts more like with all media...
At 1:48, you can see that the coin still has mint luster, wow!
Isn’t it crazy that while this thing was made around the same time Marry Antoinette was being beheaded in the French Revolution
This brings out the history buff in me. I’ve always wanted to find a time capsule.
An amazing find and in absolutely remarkable condition good job man.
The Founders would be appalled at what Massachusetts has become. From the cradle of revolution to the front runner of tyranny.
Idk why us citizens worship the founders
Oh please. Who exactly is MA tyrannical to? #2 in healthcare, #1 in education, #7 in economy, #4 in crime(as in low crime), and #44 in infrastructure. That's it. Tyrannical to car suspension systems
Imagine seeing an amazing piece of history and your first thought is "damn libs"

"Put an iPhone in there"
It probably won't survive more than 5 years. The battery and charging circuitry are the weakest links.
At least all the ancient writings from our times about Iphone issues they been theoretically reading about will be a historical fact
@Fauna Bauna does a joke mean you cant talk about it anymore?
Think about the way you said "its a joke"
Its RUclips, not your personal comedy show. If you say a joke, people are allowed to extrapolate.
Isn't about turning on, but about the machinery itself.
@Fauna Bauna people get so salty that someone on the news made a joke like they've never heard dumb humor before
@James Cash and yet only one phone in history has had a fire problem
Hmm, it's almost as if it's hard to make these things blow up with the tiny amount of voltage it uses or something
Fascinating . Shocked at the condition of the newspaper. Did Paul Revere make the engraved plate . So cool I want to see more video on this
I took 4 of Professor Rogers courses at Boston College (all relating to the Constitution/Bill of Rights), he is an absolutely brilliant man and incredible story teller
I'm pretty sure the creators of the capsule were hoping for a better audience.
“In defiance of the british parliament”
Like they say, forgive, but NEVER forget. They were sending a message for us to see what had to occur to get freedom from the oppressors. Trying to show us the start of a free state, and aren’t we glad that we are. How awesome. ✊🏼🇺🇸
What an awesome find. Those artifacts need to be in a Washington museum for all to see.
wernt oppressors, if it werent forthem US not exist
Sergio Alcantara oppressing you from what
Paying your share of the cost
Of the french and Indian
War
You guys were asked to pay a fraction of the cost
Compared to the rest of Britain
And don’t say no representation
Most brits had little to no representation either
Anyway merry Christmas to ya
Djelal niyazi because of that they couldn’t be oppressors? You obviously know nothing about US history. Take it from me. I’ve been studying US history practically since I was born. They were definitely our oppressors. Long live the USofA. ✊🏼🇺🇸
Sergio Alcantara
How were they oppressing you
John Baird we never owed you guys anything. At that time we were still part of Britain, so it wasn’t our responsibility to pay for it. At least you guys had representatives from your own country. We were mocked, and ignored. Our taxes were incredibly high for what? To serve a country we practically weren’t even part of? We were nothing but a piggy bank to you people.
One of my forefathers actually fought in the revolutionary war. I couldn’t be more proud. We won our freedom. 🇺🇸
Have a Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to you to.
That is some incredible artifacts. Fantastic history of our country.
History comes alive " this was wonderful to see. Thank you.
“Maybe they’re trying to hint at something” or maybe they just thought it would be a neat idea to preserve something from their time so the future can see what some commonly used items looked like then...
WOW! I would love to read the newspapers from the time capsule! If anyone knows if they digitized these newspapers and have them posted online - PLEASE provide a link. I would enjoy seeing how news was reported then, versus now.
Truth NEWS for sure!!
If you put NEWS in the bolt now, Centuries later they will only hold all the lies!
Makes me super grateful and patriotic of how much our small little country developed & changed over the nearly 300 years it's been around.
Here's to the next 300 America 🥳
That's absolutely amazing!!!
Later, they discover a note saying "Be rid of my reading log at the town library."
Ahhh the ole Clear my Browser history from the 1500s
lol
My husband and I put a time capsule behind our medicine cabinet when we remodeled our bathroom. We’ll be long gone when it’s discovered.
I sealed an Atari 2600 with all the games I had, a TRS colour computer data cassette with several games I wrote in Quickbasic, Rough Rider 4x4, several Transformers action figures, parachute pants, all coins from 1991, a RadioShack CB Wlakie Talkie with three channels and three watts, a calculator watch, cassette music of the time, and a VHS of, "The Never Ending Story." I put it all inside an aluminum tool box for a pickup truck that was dented up really bad and was going to be thrown away. It was still airtight so I made the strange time capsule. Then I closed it, epoxied the seam where the box opened so it was sealed. Then I lowered the box into the incomplete basement of a school being built. The next day, a foundation was poured where a large water pipe manifold was going to be placed. The box was covered completely with concrete. A few days later, the manifold was installed over the reinforced concrete slab. Today, the school is still functioning. Maybe one day in the future, someone will find the aluminum time capsule when the school will be demolished. I found a 55 gallon nylon barrel that still seals extremely good. This one gets an i5 laptop running Ubuntu, a Galaxy Note 9, a ten dollar bill, two USB flash drives with photographs, an Xbox 1 with a few games, coins, and more to come. This one is being buried in a house that is being rehabilitated. The in-ground pool will be filled in mid summer and a garage will be built over it. I will never find out if they are ever discovered.
after a storm on the Koh Samui Island in 2005 there was a hole three meters deep on the beach, before they filled it up again, I threw a time capsule into it, made of thick glass, with a non-organic closure, airtight. the content is valuable.
"Put an iphone in there". 🙄 How embarrassing.
I want to believe she was joking... But...
1:27 you mean “Samuel Adams and Jack Black?
Michael Ortega 😂
I was present at a time capsule burial in Mesa Az back in 1976. Betty Ford was the honored presider of the event. It is to be opened in 2076. If I live to be 113 years old, I plan to be there.
here I am watching this on the 4th of July more than 200 years later.
Is it just me, or did Paul Revere look like Jack Black?
DJ Jones No, Jack Black looks like Paul Revere
@@teletek1776 ok boomer
People I just need to know
Why has the level of writing dropped so significantly? Amazing Handwriting in those days.
Adam Samuel because those that knew to write were rare so usually they were taught and constantly practiced the quality of writing.
Nowadays everyone can write and read so it isn’t hard to read a number of people’s handwritings so they don’t need extreme quality.
Because handwriting needed to be completely legible by everybody back then. Ever since the introduction of the typewriter, we haven't needed neat handwriting nearly as much
And that's why you can never read your doctor's notes
@Big O cursive writing and reading were required at my school, maybe it depends on the area.
My Grandma called it script writing.
bcs they have no phone
That is amazing literally taking history by the hand.
Freakin awsome!! I love seeing stuff like this!!
Who else read "1975" and thought "that's not that long ago!"
The newspaper looked like something from 1975 when I saw it on the thumbnail too lmao
You have dyslexia kid
I read correctly 1795 and still found it to recent
@@stiannobelisto573 Right? 1495 was where it's at.
@@the.orthodox.photographer2272 that's because the printed word doesn't change that much. The only difference is the way it was printed
"put an iPhone in there!". . . I was thinking put some nude pics of current celebrities in there.
ARVIN like....Donal Trump ?
@@klauspendolo1393 no because all those pictures have Epstein's underage kids in them
ARVIN it’s now 2020 and I think it’s still a great idea
In Milford, New Hampshire, the Town Hall Bell is a Paul Revere Original Bell cast by himself. It still rings.
This is so amazing!!!
RUclips decided to bring me here, and I’m pleased
Did anyone else catch the narration misidentifying the big painting as Washington Crossing the Delaware?
AbozTheUntidy yess😂😂
First opened and then resealed? Bummer! I thought that it was being opened for the first time. Love how they save disappointing info till the last part of the story.
This is Epic, thanks for that
I was dumpster diving about 40 years ago when I found a really old I guess it was a boxer jewelry box but somebody threw it out and it was beautiful it was beautifully made and yet there was a mirror that was in it but the mirror was cracked which is I guess why they threw it out but behind the mirror was a newspaper and the newspaper was from 1750 and it was very interesting I still read it from time to time
that newspapers are probably worth reading more then all modern media combined.
OMG, I would LOVE to have even a replica of the engraved plate!!!
People in the past put such careful thought into the objects they placed in time capsules. Cities and towns today put silly things in time capsules like packs of bubble gum, cell phones, and pop culture magazines.
who’s here from snapchat?
Me
I am because they talk about everything BUT the topic supposed to be talking about
Meeeee
Me
Those Snapchat stories are just made to grab your attention and they get paid for people to view them
Oof nice, I buried one too go check under the grange
'Most Worshipful' Paul Revere.
My old backyard had a box that was left by then slaves with notes and letters an old candy a hand made hair rag and a old looking harmonica I’m guessing we were unsure what that was really
snapchat using stories from '15 smh
Ok zoomer
can you imagine what has been found in old countries? I mean our nation is so young and look at us, still finding clues from our forefathers..!
Notice the plaque said "Most Worshipful Paul Revere". He was a past master of his lodge!
At my local elementary school there was one buried 60 70 years ago. Also a house my dad worked in the mud room or shoe and coat room's paper on the studs was from early and mid 1900's you could buy bread, whiskey and cigars from like 3-5 bucks on some of them.
@ 1:21 "That is like, unbelievably cool" .... really, sir, really?! Is that how we are gonna talk?
It would be cool to see if they can lift fingerprints off of the items
So crazy taking all the stuff out the box like the last people to touch those were Paul Revere and Sam Adams
Just absolutely awesome
God please tell me they’re not gonna “refurbish” the coins. Especially if they were placed there by Sam Adams and Paul Revere. Any body who collects coins knows how severe of a mistake this would be. Those coins probably haven’t been cleaned since they were made and you’re gonna just wash them like it’s nothing. God forbid
Don't worry, They usually hire actual historians/numismatists for these kind of things, not news reporters.
Why did this pop up four years later? Pretty awesome though!
Yep, it's like finding out about a meteor shower or a blue moon event that only happens every 500 years 2 weeks after it happens. Like cool but I missed it so whatever.
This is how you handle artifacts I was beyond disgusted at how they handled the General E Lee artifacts time capsule. So shameful and destructive
This is one of the few Time Capsules that was successfully sealed.
“Most worshipful Paul Revere” that’s a Masonic title, and a masonic document
You beat me to it. I didn't know he was also a Mason.
Yup, I was getting ready to write that it's a Freemason title.
Bridgette Parrish yup! Good call. Much more to societies than what we see at first glance. Signs, symbols, and language. God help us!🙏
Bridgette Parrish Also, the bottom of the plate identified it as being don at the "grand Lodge of Massachusetts" by the deputy grand Marshall.
Paul Revere was an active Freemason in Boston for many years, and held many offices in two different lodges. He belonged to St. Andrews Lodge, and was a founding member of Rising States Lodge. He served as Worshipful Master nine times between both lodges, and he also served for three years as the Grand Master of the Massachusetts Grand Lodge.

To be 'Touching and grabbing those items from the Capsule...and to realize....'The last person to handle them...were Samuel Adams and Paul Revere. ( except for the opening in 1855 by 'nobody) Still.... Pretty damn Heavy.....
Yes!!! They should reseal it, add to it.....and be a part of this wonderful history
Wow everything is in amazing condition and it's from 1795? Daaamn.
What is wrong with the dude's left eye at 2:05 O.O
Introvertintensified i know it was bugging me
What is in the newspaper would be intriguing to read and to put something of value would be awesome.
Wish they could have used a larger box and included everyday items of the time. Still really interesting though.
... “thinks Samuel Adams and Paul Revere we’re leaving a message”
Nicholas Cage: Omw
and most of the CBS viewers and staff were alive at that time...
1795, wow, years before Charlie Rose would sexually assault his first of several women!
I cannot wait to see it go into some private collection to never be seeing again. This is fvcking amazing.
This two were totally into the future . Kudos Sam Adams and Reveere .
Yay some actual news non-political
Scientist: "that's like really cool"
Did they ever open the newspapers and if so, can I now read them electronically?
My husband had to crawl under our WW1 era home to fix something. Any work we ever did to the house was painstaking because nothing was done right. Guess what he found? Yep, you guessed it......dozens of empty little “medicine” bottles. Some of them were cough syrup, which usually had a high alcohol content....others, I didn’t know. He brought out about 10-15 bottles of various sizes and shapes. And he couldn’t bring out the rest because there were so many. He estimated there were at least 50-75 more bottles. So, now we know why nothing was done right. We had to replace the toilet and pipe under the house. When he and his Dad pulled out the toilet, all that was supporting it was 2 bricks and a small piece of scrap wood.
"Put an iPhone in there!". No. A Nokia. It'll survive for millennia.
Lol I thought it said 1975 big deal 1795 😮
