Antique photo, money and newspaper uncovered in second time capsule from Robert E. Lee statue

Newspapers, photographs, coins and books were among items uncovered in a 19th century time capsule that was hidden beneath a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Virginia, historians announced Tuesday. Another time capsule found beneath the same statue and opened last week contained an almanac, cloth envelope and a silver coin. 

"It's in better shape than we had expected," said Chelsea Blake, a conservator for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. "We thought everything was going to be soup and it's not soup. So it's pretty great."

Conservators also unboxed a piece of wood with a bullet in it, handwritten letters, multiple books with antique bookmarks, Confederate coins in an envelope, and a copy of a photograph of former President Abraham Lincoln in his coffin.
