Remember that time capsule that survived 220 years of Boston weather - blizzards and all - tucked inside a cornerstone of the Massachusetts State House? Nearly a month after the time capsule, the oldest known of its kind, was removed from the building, antiquities experts finally opened the 10-pound box for the first time since 1855, and what they found inside has history buffs gushing. Using a porcupine quill, and other tools, Boston Museum of Fine Arts Conservator Pam Hatchfield pried open the box and found five newspapers, 23 coins, a silver plate made by Paul Revere, a bronze medal depicting George Washington and other priceless historical documents, The Boston Globe reports. One of the coins, a Pine Tree Shilling, dates back to 1652 and was created in defiance of England, NBC News reports. The time capsule was placed in the cornerstone of the Massachusetts State House by Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, amongst others, in 1795 to honor the 20th anniversary of American independence and to commemorate the construction of the building. In 1855 workers happened upon the time capsule during repairs to the statehouse. The workers removed the time capsule from the cornerstone, cleaned and cataloged it and added additional artifacts from the time period. They then placed the capsule back into the cornerstone, where it remained until December 2014. Conservationists must now decide what action to take on the contents of the box. Some of the artifacts corroded in the elements over the years, especially the coins, and as The Boston Globe notes, restoring the coins could be costly. What is known is that the contents, once put on display at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts Americas wing, won’t stay there for long. Eventually, the artifacts will return to the time capsule, which will be placed back into the cornerstone of the statehouse, unlikely to be reopened during your lifetime.
Let me ask....how come CBS isn't telling the whole story on this? Her are questions I have: 1/ how did everyone no where to look? 2/ if it was by chance that they just so happened to find the right boulder of concrete to discover the time capsule Then they were looking for it. Right? 3/ CBS You are So famous for only reporting just enough news for everyone to ask, what and why. Keeping everyone in the dark isn't going to work anymore. The internet is a wonderful place to find the "truth" people depend on broadcast news to tell the whole story. Your 2 minute broadcasts on topics just touch the stories It doesn't answer questions. The dumbing down of society with stupid tv shows doesn't effect educated people. Good luck with your 2 minute news sperts. It doesn't work on a large portion of your viewing public.
just open it and reseal it in a safer container (oh, wait, all containers are now made in China so forget it) and add things to a separate container next to it as an update
I love the 20 minute story of a guy that buried a time capsule in his parents back yard. Perhaps cbs should report just as long on American history. Like the 2 minute story on Paul revere and Sam Adams time capsule. CBS who ever is in charge of this should be fired. O wait you can't fire the president
If they decide to open it; what crap is that? Open the box! That lady sounds a bit too possessive. If we have the tech to restore old artifacts I'm sure we can open the box.
My teacher my hope at spencer high school fist showed us about this time capsule. Because we just went over Paul revere. So if u read this comment plz give a shout out to MRS.Hope plz

I bet it says in the box we really mean "Shall not be infringed".
Great comment, got a good laugh at this one.
No, it says, "Do NOT elect Donald Trump!"
They would turn over in their graves if they saw what the government has done to our country and the Constitution.
This aged well
How do you feel now haha
They be turning over even more when they realize the people did nothing to stop it like their supposed to
Boston was patriotic then, not so much these days.
So you wanna over throw the government
Damn, hoping there was a Bottle of Samuel Adams Beer in there....
It was the curse of the Red Sox. Hopefully there will be another curse cast..... Yankees in '15.
With the history of America, can’t imagine the other historical things that are not found

Oops, It's a Nintendo 3DS inside.
It was opened in the 1855 idiots! It was not sealed since the time of Adams and Revere. Get your facts straight!
Such great men.
Yeah Charlie Rose is great; don't really know Jim Axelrod.
Is there any indication of when they wanted the time capsule to be opened?
We all know they opened the box, the question is why are they pretending they didn't? Are they hiding something they don't want US to know..
Yeah why wouldn’t they open it? We all have the right to know what’s inside I’m sure the folks who put it there would agree
What are they hiding
