It turns out the capsule was buried in 1985 by clubgoers and bartenders from the club Danceteria. Former owner John Argento told the Daily News of New York he bought it for $200 US at an Army Navy store on Canal Street. Madonna danced through Danceteria in the movie Desperately Seeking Susan, and she performed there in real life, as did Run-DMC, Billy Idol, Duran Duran and many other '80s icons. Argento, who now runs two clubs in New Jersey, said he can hardly remember what was inside the Danceteria capsule. The police said Argento may be able to pick up the contents of the capsule once they've been thoroughly searched.
