"Hidden Treasures Unearthed: Centuries-Old Coins Found in West Point Time Capsule"

TL;DR
A time capsule discovered at West Point Military Academy, initially thought to contain only silt, has yielded hidden treasure in the form of six silver American coins dating from 1795 to 1828 and a commemorative medal. The coins were found in the sediment of the box, which was opened during a disappointing livestream event. The discovery confirms the theory that the time capsule was left by cadets in 1828 or 1829, and further analysis will be conducted to learn more about the academy's history and the country's history.
