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.
