No luck finding time capsule

LIBERTY — Efforts have been unsuccessful in locating a time capsule for a ceremony Saturday at the Amite County Bicentennial.
The capsule was buried beside the courthouse in 1978, but the key people involved are dead and no records can be found that tell the exact location. And a historical marker used as a reference point was moved in 1984, said Mayor Ricky Stratton.
People have been using probes, shovels, metal detectors and posthole diggers seeking the capsule. “That part of the courthouse lawn is well-aerated,” Stratton said.
