LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A 1998 time capsule buried at Richard H. Bryan Elementary School opened Monday.

The time capsule was buried for about 25 years.

A group of former Clark County Students opened the metal capsule. The students found a bunch of 90s nostalgia such as a Beanie Baby, a floppy disk, VHS tape, cassette tape and grocery store ads.

Now, current students at the elementary school will fill a new time capsule and bury it in the same spot. This new time capsule will be opened in 2048, about 25 years from now.
