Officials at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts spent hours pouring through
the 220-year-old copper box and the artifacts inside, which was only
discovered last month during some repairs for a water leak at the State
House of Massachusetts
It was buried by war figures Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and William Scollay in 1795 and contained five newspapers, a coin collection dating back to 1652 (left) and some cards. There was also a silver plate personally engraved with a message by Revere
