Coins and medal found in mysterious West Point time capsule from 1820s
By Max MatzaBBC News
A time capsule from the 1820s that was opened in a highly-anticipated ceremony at the West Point US Military Academy was found to contain coins and a medal.
The Lead Box was searched in front of a room of cadets on Monday. The Audience was disheartened when The Box was opened and it appeared empty.
But now, officials say The Box actually held a medal and five coins, minted in years ranging from 1795 to 1828.
In a statement, The Academy said they " were embedded" in The Box 's " matrix".
The coins were minted with values ranging from one cent up to One Dollar .
The Box also contained a medal that celebrates the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825. The Canal was built in eight years and connected the Hudson River in New York to the Great Lakes .
" Six coins and a medal were embedded within The Matrix , dating from 1795 to 1828, " West Point said on Wednesday.
" The historical preservation process will continue, and updates will be provided when new information is available, " it added.
At Monday's ceremony, young troops watched as some of West Point 's top brass took The Stage to celebrate the exciting moment.
In front of them, Centre Stage , was The Grey Box - 12in by 12in by 13in (30cm by 30cm by 33cm) - and two school employees, standing by with purple rubber gloves and White Masks , prepared to unveil its contents.
The Box had been found a few months earlier, during The Restoration of a bronze statue of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a celebrated war hero and statesman.
Underneath the marble face of The Monument The Box was discovered, apparently placed there during the completion of the statute in 1829.
