WASHINGTON: A copper box buried 130 years ago has been found in a statue of an American general, much to the chagrin of many.

The box contained historical artifacts that would be buried for future discovery, which is why the copper box is called a time capsule.
Many people were searching for the box, which was discovered by sculptors, including items such as buttons and bullets, Confederate currency, maps, a rare portrait of slain President Abraham Lincoln and more.
The statue was removed in September because it was one of the few slavery monuments in the West that has been removed in recent months. Was
