Mum digs up time capsule her kids buried in garden at turn of the millennium

A mum has dug up a time capsule that her children decided to bury at the turn of the millennium - and people are loving the throwback clip.

The family buried the items 22 years ago in their back garden - and it's filled with heaps of nostalgic items.

You can watch the clip below:

The clip - shared by daughter @fireh9lly on TikTok - begins with the mum in the back garden, getting to work digging the time capsule up.

It appears to be buried under a slab of concrete which she manages to dig up to reveal the capsule underneath.

And viewers were given a trip down memory lane after the box appeared to be wrapped in the old school Tesco carrier bags, which were still in perfect condition.

"This is the time capsule which we put in the garden for the turn of the millennium. It's 22 years old. Wow, old Tesco, do you remember when Tesco looked like that? It's in perfect condition, too. These things are floating around in the ocean," says @fireh9lly.

"[...] It's good that we got it out because I don't know if future generations would recognise what this is, or they would just throw it out."

The pair unwrap the capsule to find an old biscuit tin alongside a series of newspapers and magazines from the year 1999 and 2000.

And the biscuit tin was filled with loads of nostalgic goodies, including an old Barbie doll, photographs, books, CDs and bits of clothing.

There were also Pokemon cards and other bits and bobs from the millennium.

People were blown away by the time capsule, with many wanting to dig up their own time capsules after watching the video.

Others however, wondered if the family had left it long enough to dig up, and whether they should have been the ones to dig it up at all.

One wrote: "You’re not supposed to dig up your own time capsule."

While another said: "Why do people open those up in only 20 yrs..why not leave it for 50 or more."

And a third added: "Why dig up your own Time Capsule and it has only been 22 years. It should be for future generations to find."

Meanwhile a fourth advised: "Make sure you look after those Pokémon cards!! They might be worth something."

What do you think?
