Remember to include some everyday small objects for the finders to discover:

Objects often carried on their person; such as a comb, a handkerchief, some coins, a wallet, a hair-grip, a pen, a lipstick or a piece of jewellery etc. Alternatively, you might include common items used for work, associated with a particular activity or in the home/school/workplace.

These will all be of great interest to the people who open your capsule and add to their understanding of life today. It is quite common to put in a current year’s coin so that any person uncovering the capsule in the future knows what year it was buried.
