FOUND!!!

Six months ago Fez tried digging for a time capsule he had buried when he was a child

(read about it HERE)
but had no luck finding the treasure.

Well... HE FOUND IT!!!

A neighbor had a metal detector he let us borrow so Fez and his dad went searching yesterday. They had dug all around the area they thought it could be and with the help of the detector decided to try underneath a plant. Good thing because it was there!
(See video below)

The can was pretty corroded.

He put these paper towels in there to soak up the moisture.
It was a pretty good idea because they were pretty soaked
but so was everything else.

After prying it open this is what we found:
a lego car, 2 micro machines, 12 cents, a paper we couldn't read or unfold (possibly a list of the contents), a chinese placemat, and paper with his age and date.

It's kind of hard to read but it says
"11 years old" and " 9/2?/95"
Fez with his treasures.
YAY!
I can only imagine the cute and fun things our kids will do some day.

Note to self: Next time we do a time capsule put it in a ziploc and plastic container.
