If anything was placed in the box when it was buried in 1828 in the base of a Thaddeus Kosciuszko monument, no part of it was recognizable when the lid was pried off during the unveiling Monday. Kosciuszko was a Polish-born military engineer who fought in the Revolutionary War and engineered fortifications at West Point in the late 18th century.

This sounds like peak trolling by very disappointed someone of polish descent, since the Kościuszko Insurrection could be easily viewed (especially in 1828 USA) as this vault, the only thing left from it is peasant fetish of large part of polish inteligentsia.
