Richmond, Virginia mdash; The spot in Vi stanley cup rginia where a towering statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee once stood over Richmond s tree-lined Monument Avenue is now just a pile of boulders, rubble and sand.But for the next few weeks, workers will continue their search for a famed 1887 time capsule that was said to be buried under the massive monument, long viewed as a symbol of racial injustice. We know what to be on the lookout for, said Devon Henry, the contractor who took down the statue and its pedestal. It will be a very decorative piece of granite that will look nothing like what s already there. Henry spoke the day after one of the more anticlimactic moments in historic preservation: State conservators spent five hours gingerly prying open a corroded lead box that some believed mdash; or at least hoped mdash; was the 1887 time capsule. But they didn t find the expected trove of objects related to the Confederacy, including a picture of a deceased President Abraham Lincoln. Instead, conservators pulled out a few waterlogged books, a silver coin and an envelope with some papers.
