Mystery Coffee Can in Missouri Home Crawl Space Goes Viral After Owner Finds Man Who Put it There Decades Ago

The time capsule contained sports cards, action figures, the label from a package of smoked sausages, and a Pog and slammer

A Missouri man has gone viral after sharing the contents of a time capsule he found in a crawl space in his newly purchased home.

Stephen Graff took to Threads to share pictures of the coffee can time capsule , left there in 1994 by a 12-year-old boy, and what it contained.

Graff even revealed that, with help from the internet, he managed to locate the boy behind the time capsule, who is now a 42-year-old man.

Graff mailed the capsule’s contents — including sports cards, action figures, the label from a package of smoked sausages, and a Pog and slammer — to their original owner.

Nathan Headden was living in Springfield, Missouri, in 1994 when he assembled the time capsule. The family ended up moving six months later.

The capsule also included a letter from Nathan, describing his siblings and his parents. It came with a request that, if found prior to 2010, it be wrapped back up and placed back in the crawl space.
