Got to be better than Al Capone’s vault.

Yeah, I’m wondering if Geraldo is going to be there!

Not necessarily. Time capsules often do not hold up well. And the further era it was placed, the more likely to be ruined. Technology to preserve things was not there. Old coins will survive quite well, depending on conditions, but papers, etc, can be a mess.

I recall this with a TC shown in Mt. Olivet Cem in Frederick, MD. Do not recall if it was specifically for Frederick, or Francis Scott Key (he’s buried there), or what, but in any case they opened it some time ago and there was not much to be observed. There are some “harder” things but if they put in papers and other soft materials, don’t count on much.

I would be surprised if this really has much to see.
