One Reddit user said: "What a fascinating thing to find. This inspires me to go bury one now." Gtclem0 responded writing, "My goal by posting this was to get people inspired to bury a time capsule so someone might find it in 100 years. I really hope you do, I'm going to bury a few around my town." Several posts also supported the idea of tracking down the original homeowner to return the items to family members of those who buried the time capsule a century ago. One poster added: "Well that’s pretty cool! I hope you're able to track down the owner, or at least someone connected." The homeowner says his search has been tough but he'll keep researching. He commented, "So far, I haven't found anything relevant, but I'm not giving up. I plan on going to my local library to search through home records." The post has over 16,000 upvotes on Reddit and almost 200 comments tracking the popularity of metal detecting for time capsules.
