Time Forgot the Tim Pond Time Capsule Dig
Edward Finney, his son Reed, and camp owners Harvey and Betty Calden unearthed a 1946 time capsule at Tim Pond Wilderness Camps in Maine. The find, on a grassy slope by the mile-long lake, yielded broken glass and a golf ball but no newspaper clippings, underscoring the enduring tradition of laying and reopening bottles. Tim Pond, opened in 1877, claims status as the nation’s oldest continuously operating sporting camp, offering fly fishing for native square-tailed brook trout, moose sightings, loons at dusk, rustic cabins, and wood Rangeley boats now with motors, while maintaining a strict two-fish limit and barbless hooks.
