Icon6 Time capsule !

Hi all im Gary 38 from leeds in the UK i thought id share one of my thoughts i had today , when i was aged between 4 or 6 at my nursery school i remember the teacher and my class doing a time capsule we buried a large plastic tub in the school gardens with local things of the mid to late 1970s things like the local newspaper of the day old pennies a class photo and other bits and pieces .
By the way the schools now closed for good , the school is a listed building and that time capsule is still burried in that garden somewhere LOL !

Now the good part !!! im thinking of doing the same , i know this sounds crazy but ive had my house broken in to on more than one occasion , so what safer place than to put thinks 4ft deep in your garden .

heres where i need your help , can any of you think of anything that would be cool to put inside the capsule and not see the light of day for another 35years or more ?

my no 1 to put inside it is a RED SUBMARINER which i dont have yet ,
but i know where theres one for sale , or would you go for a BNIB steel rolex
sports.

what would you burry ? it doesnt have to be rolex other items will be considered .

I've always heard it's good to bury the hatchet.

This post makes me wonder if you accidently burried your medication. If you do decide to bury a red sub in your garden you better not tell anyone. There will be a line of people in your garden with shuvels each night.

Maybe a rolex catalogue with price list.
Photos of your house/ family/yard/general area.
The neighbours cat.
The neighbors.
A bottle of decent red wine(one that is supposed to age well) or port.

I think it's kinda a cool idea if you have unlimited cash. In 2003 we got to open a time capsule from 1903. It was truly amazing.
