The box weighs 36 pounds, a state official said. It measures 13.5 inches by 13.5 inches by 7.5 inches.
A copper box was found beneath the pedestal, „below grade in a very wet area,“ said department director Julie Langan, adding it is „too soon to know whether water infiltrated the box.“ The box weighs 36 pounds, Langan said. It measures 13.5 inches by 13.5 inches by 7.5 inches. „They found it! This is likely the time capsule everyone was looking for. Conservators studying it — stay tuned for next steps! (Won’t be opened today),“ Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam tweeted Monday. The capsule was brought to the conservation lab at the Department of Historic Resources where conservators began assessing it, Langan said.
