What's Inside Nevada's Time Capsule

Published June 17, 2011 at 5:00 AM PDT

Construction workers in Reno discovered every historian’s dream last month, when they dug up the city's 1965 time capsule.  So what did they find inside?  And if we made a Nevada time capsule today, what would you put in it?  What represents our state today, with its economic troubles, Strip entertainment, and people?  Our historians present their wish lists - what's yours?
