At any rate, it looks like Humphries was pleased to find a sculpture in the time capsule. When he spoke to WBAL, he explained, “It was amazing to see inside the cornerstone that there was this beautifully carved decorative panel of the stonemasons and the stone carvers from 1815.” What a great find!

But the most impressive thing was the way the items have been preserved. Everything inside the time capsule looked like it was in good working condition. There was a little visible water damage, but they did not find anything major. It looks like the glass jars used for it had been the right choice.
