You could keep it private, i.e., you, your family, OR, we could all send you things.  Just think of the confusion many many decades down the road when our descendants happen upon the time capsule (perhaps much in the same way you came across the sink hole) and find items from seemingly random locations all over the world!  Think! A Mao cap from Berkeley, California. Or, I could send you a few palm fronds.  That would be exciting.  Of course this is all predicated on the (perhaps foolish) assumption that we’re not all about to go down a sink hole of human miscreation.
