Today!
150 years after explorers Burke & Wills buried a time capsule, it was finally dug up today by Archeologists, with Historians and the Mayor etc
It was buried in the base of a statue in Sturt Street, the main street of Ballarat.
I did my best to get my head on TV (I kept getting in front of the camera :lol: ) but I didn't see myself on the news :sadeyes: :P
The 3 gold coins inside the capsule are currently valued at $50,000 :eyepop:
The Newspaper was badly decayed.
Anyway here is the story:
