Another time capsule found in Robert E. Lee monument

This is the second time capsule found in the pedestal of the Lee statue that historical reports say could contain prized artifacts.

After a time capsule found last week proved to be a letdown, another one has been found in the pedestal of a now-removed Robert E. Lee state in Richmond, Virginia, Gov. Ralph Northam announced in a tweet Monday.

"They found it!," Northam said in the tweet. "This is likely the time capsule everyone was looking for."

The contents of the time capsule, believed to date back to 1887, could be valuable. Historical records show that "37 Richmond residents, organizations, and businesses contributed about 60 objects to the capsule, many of which are believed to be related to the Confederacy," according to a press release from the governor's office.

There are even rumors that it contains a prized photograph of former President Abraham Lincoln's casket. The possibilities excite people like local historian and author Dale Brumfield, who held out hope after a capsule discovered last week didn't live up to expectations.
